Black tea, a widely popular non-alcoholic beverage, is renowned for its unique aroma and has attracted significant attention due to its complex composition. However, the chemical profile of Iranian tea remains largely unexplored. In this research, black tea samples from key tea cultivation regions in four geographical areas in northern Iran were firstly analyzed using headspace solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) to separate, identify, and quantify their volatile organic compounds.

A new design of dual solvent stir bar microextraction (DSSBME) was developed and combined with HPLC-UV for the simultaneous extraction of clozapine (CLZ) and lorazepam (LRP) from human plasma with different acceptor phases. Two short hollow fibers immobilized with an organic extraction solvent were used as the solvent bars for microextraction of CLZ and LRP from the sample solution. The solvent bars were fixed with a staple pin which served as the stirrer.

Capecitabine as a prodrug of 5-Fluorouracil plays an important role in the treatment of breast and gastrointestinal cancers. Herein, in view of the importance of this drug in chemotherapy, interaction mechanism between Capecitabine (CAP) and human serum albumin (HSA) as a major transport protein in the blood circulatory system has been investigated by using a combination of spectroscopic and molecular modeling methods. The fluorescence spectroscopic results revealed that capecitabine could effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching mechanism.

Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), topomer CoMFA, and hologram QSAR as three efficient methods of QSAR have been performed on 40 newly synthesized inhibitors against HIV-1 protease. Molecular alignment was performed by aid of crystallographic structure of template inhibitor (indirect alignment) and also by the molecular mechanic (MM)-minimized structure. Both alignment methods produced satisfactory statistics for training set, but indirect alignment had more predictive power.

The chromatographic hydrophobicity index (CHI) is an HPLC-based parameter that provides reliable guidance in optimization of pharmacological efficiency and adsorption, distribution, metabolism and exertion (ADME) profile of drug candidates. In the present work, classical and three-dimensional quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models were developed for prediction of CHI values of some 4-hydroxycoumarin analogs on immobilized artificial membrane column. Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) as 3D-QSPR methods were performed to gain insight into the key structural factors affecting on the chromatographic hydrophobicity of interested chemicals.

The dermal penetration rate of some volatile and non-volatile organic compounds was estimated by quantitative structure-activity relationship approaches by using interpretable molecular descriptors. Linear and nonlinear models were developed using multiple linear regressions (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) methods. Robustness and reliability of the constructed MLR and ANN models were evaluated by using the leave-one-out cross-validation method, which produces the statistics of Q(MLR)(2)=0.
