Article Synopsis
  • Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are cool, cost-effective tools that light up and can help detect medicines like delafloxacin (DLF), an antibiotic for infections.
  • Scientists created special carbon dots from plum juice and copper, which work better when detecting DLF.
  • This method can accurately measure DLF in different liquids like milk and human blood, making it useful for checking medicine levels in patients.

Avapritinib (AVA) is the first medication authorized by the US-FDA in 2020 for the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) that can't be treated by surgery. Cancer is among the most common causes of death worldwide and is the second most common cause of death after cardiovascular disease. Therefore, a quick, easy, sensitive, and straightforward fluorimetric approach was used to analyse AVA in pharmaceutical materials and blood plasma (pharmacokinetic).

Copper (Cu) plays a role in maintaining healthy nerve cells and the immune system. Osteoporosis is a high-risk factor for Cu deficiency. In the proposed research, unique green, fluorescent cysteine-doped MnO quantum dots (Cys@MnO QDs) were synthesized and assessed for the determination of Cu in different food and hair samples.

Avapritinib (AVP) was the first precision drug to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2020 for patients suffering from metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and progressive systemic mastocytosis. The analysis of AVP in pharmaceutical tablets and human plasma was then carried out using a fast, efficient, sensitive, and simple fluorimetric method using a fluorescamine reagent. The procedure is based on the interaction between fluorescamine as a fluorogenic reagent and the primary aliphatic amine moiety in AVP using borate buffer solution at pH 8.

The neuro-stimulant anti-narcoleptic drug as modafinil (MOD) is used to treatment neurological conditions caused by COVID-19. MOD was used to treatment narcolepsy, shift-work sleep disorder, and obstructive sleep apnea-related sleepiness. So, an innovative, quick, economical, selective, and ecologically friendly procedure was carried out.

Elagolix (ELX) is an orally administered non-peptidic GnRH antagonist that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2018 for the treatment of endometriosis pain. A sensitive and selective method for estimating elagolix (ELX) in human plasma and content uniformity was developed and validated. The spectrofluorimetric technique was used to investigate ELX utilizing boron-doped carbon quantum dots (B@CQDs).

Indigo carmine (IC) dye is hazardous and allergenic for humans even though it has been excessively used in a wide range of industries. Therefore, the quantitative determination of IC is still challenging. Herein, for the first time, we have developed fluorometric and colorimetric dual-mode nanoprobe derived from the ion-pair association complex between the negatively charged IC and positively charged N@C-dots in pH = 3.

In recent decades, HO has been promoted as a health indicator because its moderate to high levels can cause some health problems. Herein, we developed a new fluorescent nanoprobe for rapid, selective and sensitive detection of HO. The fluorescent nanoprobe is composed of fluorescein dye (FLS) as a fluorescent probe and MnO nanosheets (MnO NS) as a quencher.

The study of biologically important Cu and S ions has drawn great attention in the recent years since an abnormal level of these ions is an indication for health impairment. Therefore, a reliable strategy for effective fluorescence determination of Cu and S ions was developed. Simply, the method based on economical plant-dependent thermolysis procedure for efficient green synthesis of water dispersible luminescent polyamine-based carbon dots (PA@C-dots) utilizes Vitis vinifera juice as precursor with a high quantum yield (32.

Carbon dots doped with copper(II) and nitrogen (Cu,N@C-dots) were prepared and are shown to be viable fluorescent nanoprobe for pyrogallol (PGL) was developed for the first time. The reaction is based on (a) the complexation reaction between Cu,N@C-dots and catechol moiety, and (b) the generation of a quinone-like structure. Thus, the co-ordination complex formed between Cu(II) in C-dots and PGL results in quenching of the fluorescence of C-dots.

Accurate, simple, sensitive, and fast spectrophotometric assay was applied for the quantification of certain anti-Alzheimer drug namely; Memantine hydrochloride, in its bulk and pharmaceutical preparation. The described assay has been established on the reaction between the primary amino moiety of the cited drug and 2,2-dihydroxyindane-1,3-dione reagent in N,N'-dimethylformamide medium in boiling water bath. Which give Ruhemann's purple color that can be determined at λ = 595 nm.

A simple, accurate and sensitive spectrophotometric method for determination of H2-receptor antagonists: cimetidine (CIM), famotidine (FAM), nizatidine (NIZ), and ranitidine hydrochloride (RAN) has been fully developed and validated. The method was based on the reaction of these drugs with NBS and subsequent measurement of the excess N-bromosuccinimide by its reaction with p-aminophenol to give a violet colored product (lambda max at 552 nm). Decrease in the absorption intensity (Delta A) of the colored product, due to the presence of the drug, was correlated with its concentration in the sample solution.

A simple, accurate and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed and validated for determination of H2-receptor antagonists: cimetidine, famotidine, nizatidine, and ranitidine hydrochloride. The method was based on the oxidation of these drugs with cerium (IV) in presence of perchloric acid and subsequent measurement of the excess Ce (IV) by its reaction with p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde to give a red colored product (λmax at 464 nm). The decrease in the absorption intensity (ΔA) of the colored product, due to the presence of the drug was correlated with its concentration in the sample solution.
