Bioanalytical HPLC method with fluorescence detector for determination of Entresto™ when co-administered with ibuprofen and fexofenadine: a pharmacokinetic study.

Entresto™ (LCZ696) has been approved globally for heart failure management. However, its lifelong use alongside over-the-counter (OTC) drugs like ibuprofen (IBU) and fexofenadine (FEX) necessitates an in-depth investigation of potential pharmacokinetic interactions, as they share the same metabolic and elimination pathways. This study aimed to develop a bioanalytical HPLC method with a fluorescence detector (FLD) to quantify LCZ696 analytes (valsartan, VAL; sacubitril, SAC; and sacubitril active metabolite, LBQ657) in rat plasma.

Chemometrics-assisted spectrophotometric green method for correcting interferences in biowaiver studies: Application to assay and dissolution profiling study of donepezil hydrochloride tablets.

A green, simple and cost effective chemometric UV-Vis spectrophotometric method has been developed and validated for correcting interferences that arise during conducting biowaiver studies.
