Tulathromycin (TUL) is a widely used veterinary antibiotic for treating bovine and porcine respiratory infections. Consuming animal-derived food contaminated with this medication may jeopardize human health. This work adopted the first portable potentiometric platform for direct TUL sensing in pharmaceutical and food products.

Two simple, accurate and precise chromatographic methods have been developed and validated for estimating Mupirocin (MUP) in two binary mixtures. Mixture (1); with Fluticasone propionate (FLU) together with two of their impurities, namely; Pseudomonic acid-D (Pseud-D) and Fluticasone impurity C (FIC). Mixture (2); with Mometasone furoate (MF) along with Pseud-D impurity.

During cancer treatment, doses must be carefully administered and monitored to guarantee efficacy and minimize side-effects. A potentiometric sensor was developed for the direct real-time assay of a widely used antineoplastic drug (vinblastine (VB)) in plasma samples. Membrane cocktails were drop-casted over a glassy-carbon electrode coated with a lipophilic conducting polymer (polyaniline).

Traditional Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Advanced Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were applied for the quantitative determination of paracetamol (PAR) and chlorzoxazone (CZX) together with their process-related impurities namely; 4-aminophenol (AP), 4‑chloroacetanilide (AC), 4‑nitrophenol (NP), 4‑chlorophenol (CP) and 2‑amino-4-chlorophenol (ACP). Both models were applied first to full spectrum data then the results were compared to those obtained after wavelength selection using Genetic Algorithm (GA). A 5-level 7-factor experimental design was used giving rise to 25 mixtures containing different proportions of the seven compounds.
