Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a frequent clinical condition globally. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with NAFLD have been proposed in the literature and based on bioinformatic screening. The association between NAFLD and genetic variants in Egyptians is still unclear.

The main objective of this work is to develop simple, sensitive, and efficient methods for the synchronous quantification of FVM and IVM without any prior separation. Four green UV-methods were employed for the synchronous quantification, namely: Fourier functions convolution of absorption spectra, FFAS, Fourier functions convolution of derivative spectra of absorption curves, FFDS, Fourier function convolution of ratio spectra of absorption curves, FFRS and the dual-wavelength method, DWM.

Molnupiravir (MLN) was the first oral, direct-acting antiviral drug approved for nasopharyngeal SARS-CoV-2 infection with favorable safety and tolerability profile. This study aims at determination of MLN and N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC), its main degradation product and its main metabolite, using sensitive, simple, and green HPLC-DAD method.
