Rapid and sustainable HPLC method for the determination of uremic toxins in human plasma samples.

Protein-bound uremic toxins, mainly indoxyl sulfate (3-INDS), p-cresol sulfate (pCS), and indole-3-acetic acid (3-IAA) but also phenol (Pol) and p-cresol (pC), are progressively accumulated during chronic kidney disease (CKD). Their accurate measurement in biomatrices is demanded for timely diagnosis and adoption of appropriate therapeutic measures. Multianalyte methods allowing the establishment of a uremic metabolite profile are still missing.

Phytochemical characterization and mutagenicity, cytotoxicity, antimicrobial and modulatory activities of (Tul.) L.P. Queiroz.

In this study, the chemical composition, genotoxic, cytotoxic and antibacterial-modulating activities of the (NPpE) extract was evaluated. The fingerprint chromatogram was determined using HPLC-DAD. The NPpE Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), as well as that of antimicrobial drugs in the presence and absence of the extract, were evaluated using the microdilution method against Gram positive bacteria.
