Development of an HPLC-UV Method to Assay Empagliflozin Tablets and Identification of the Major Photoproduct by Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry.

Diabetes is a set of metabolic disorders that affect >400 million individuals worldwide. Empagliflozin belongs to the gliflozin class and is used orally to treat type 2 diabetes. In this study, a simple stability-indicating HPLC-UV method was developed to assay empagliflozin tablets and its main photoproduct was identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry.

An in situ pre-concentration method for fluorine determination based on successive digestions by microwave-induced combustion.

A new strategy based on successive digestions by microwave-induced combustion (MIC) in the same reaction vessel with a single absorbing solution was proposed. As a proof of concept, F was determined by ion-selective electrode (ISE) in seafood digests. Samples were pressed as pellets (up to 0.

Mancozeb exposure results in manganese accumulation and Nrf2-related antioxidant responses in the brain of common carp Cyprinus carpio.

Manganese (Mn)-containing dithiocarbamates such as Mancozeb (MZ) have been shown to induce oxidative stress-related toxicity in rodents and humans. However, little is known about the neurotoxic effects induced by MZ in fish. In this study, carp (Cyprinus carpio) were exposed to non-lethal waterborne concentrations of MZ, and oxidative stress parameters as well as metal accumulation in fish brains were evaluated.
