Objectives: Chemical neurotransmission, managed by neurotransmitters, has a crucial role in brain processes such as fear, memory, learning, and pain, or neuropathology such as schizophrenia, epilepsy, anxiety/depression, and Parkinson's disease. The measurement of these compounds is used to elucidate the disease mechanisms and evaluate the outcomes of therapeutic interventions. However, this can be quite difficult because of various matrix effects and the problems of chromatographic separation of analysts.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a new and fully validated HPLC method for analysis of FLB in pharmaceutical formulations besides its degradation products, and identification of possible formation mechanisms by using HPLC-DAD-ESI-IT-TOF-MSn.
Method: The HPLC separation was achieved in a Supelco Ascentis® Express series phenyl hexyl column (100 × 4.

Introduction: In the present study, a sensitive and selective liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was described for the determination of ceftiofur (CEF) in cow milk and pharmaceutical preparations. CEF is an antibiotic compound, which is commonly used in the treatment of animal diseases such as respiratory system, soft tissue, and foot infections, as well as postpartum acute puerperal metritis. One of the critical features of CEF is its prescription while breastfeeding cows; in accordance, its quantitative estimation is essential to assess its residual amounts.
