A simple and facile microwave-assisted method was developed for the synthesis of highly fluorescent silver-nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). The synthesis of silver-nanoparticles depends on a redox reaction between silver nitrate and ascorbic acid using chitosan as a stabilizing agent. The produced Ag-NPs were characterized using Zeta potential and transmission electron microscope micrograph where they are spherical in shape with smooth surface morphology and size of 26.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the use of curcumin (CUR), a natural compound, alongside doxorubicin (DOX) in cancer treatment, highlighting CUR's ability to enhance anti-cancer effects while reducing side effects and drug resistance associated with DOX.
  • The researchers developed a novel synchronous spectrofluorimetric method to simultaneously measure both CUR and DOX, despite their overlapping emission spectra, by using specific wavelength settings (Δλ = 20 nm) and ethanol as a solvent.
  • The method demonstrated high sensitivity and accuracy with low detection and quantitation limits for both compounds, was validated according to regulatory standards, and showed effective application in testing mixtures and human samples with high

The study's objective is to establish an eco-friendly, sensitive and economical quantitative methodology for the concurrent analysis of donepezil HCl (DPZ) and trazodone HCl (TRZ) in raw materials, tablets and human plasma. The first derivative synchronous fluorescence spectroscopic (FDSFS) technique was applied at constant wavelength difference (∆λ = 120) for assessment of DPZ and TRZ at each other's zero-crossing point at 279 nm and 297 nm, respectively. The submitted technique was validated in accordance with ICH Q2 R1 guidelines and the linearity of the standard calibration curve was observed over the concentration range of 10-500 ng/ml for DPZ and 20-1,000 ng/ml for TRZ.

The current study presents the first spectrofluorimetric approach for the estimation of lactoferrin, depending on the measurement of its native fluorescence at 337 nm after excitation at 230 nm, without the need for any hazardous chemicals or reagents. It was found that the fluorescence intensity versus concentration calibration plot was linear over the concentration range of 0.1-10.
