In this study, an environmentally sustainable fluorimetric method for determination of Vonoprazan fumarate (VON) in dosage forms using nanoprobes consisting of nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon quantum dots (N, S-CQDs). The N, S-CQDs were prepared through a microwave-assisted method in 30 s. The resulting N, S-CQDs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Simultaneously, the suggested approach was used to detect the synchronous fluorescence intensity of the cited drugs at Δ λ = 80 nm in ethanol to determine the concentrations of olmesartan medoxomil and rosuvastatin calcium at 265 and 240 nm, respectively. Various experimental conditions were tested, and each variable was analyzed and optimized.

As shown by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, the interaction affects the microenvironment confirmation around tyrosine residues. The site-competitive experiments showed that TMZ had an affinity toward subdomain III A (site II) of HSA.

The binding interaction between the antihypertensive eplerenone (EPL) and HSA was investigated using multi-spectroscopic techniques for the first time. These techniques include ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), native fluorescence spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking approach.

Highly luminescent water-soluble nitrogen and sulfur doped carbon quantum dots (N, S-CQDs) have been prepared successfully. The synthesis was based on the reaction of thiosemicarbazide (TS) as source of N and S and citric acid (CA) as source of carbon in one-step aqueous base reflux treatment.

In this work, different chemometric calibration models were developed and validated for the purpose of determining of ternary mixture of oral antidiabetic drugs; vildagliptin (VDG), saxagliptin (SAX) and sitagliptin phosphate (STG). The used models were Partial least squares (PLS) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). However, on these various models the impact of genetic algorithm (GA) as a form of variable selection was also investigated.
