Mefenamic acid, renowned for its analgesic properties, stands as a reliable choice for alleviating mild to moderate pain. However, its versatility extends beyond pain relief, with ongoing research unveiling its promising therapeutic potential across diverse domains. A straightforward, environmentally friendly, and sensitive spectrofluorometric technique has been developed for the precise quantification of the analgesic medication, mefenamic acid.

Four spectrophotometric techniques have been performed for simultaneous quantitation of Vericiguat (VER) and its alkali-induced degradation product (ADP) without prior separation. Method A is a dual wavelength method (DW) that estimates the absorbance difference at 314-328 nm, and 246-262 nm for VER and ADP; respectively.

In the present study, an efficient stability-indicating HPLC-DAD technique has been described and validated for the determination of Vericiguat (VER); a novel oral soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator used in heart failure. VER's stability under various stress conditions was examined.

Here, first attempts have been made for determination of the anti-COVID drug Remdesivir (RDS) in human plasma using four potentiometric sensors. Calixarene-8 (CX8) was used as an ionophore applied to the first electrode (Sensor I).

In the present study, we develop a LC-MS/MS approach to detect and quantify certain COVID-19 candidate drugs in rat plasma, including Hydroxychloroquine, Favipiravir, Oseltamivir, and Remdesivir. The analytes were separated using Ultra High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) over a 13-minute run on a C column.

Although Dietary supplements are readily accessible and extensively used worldwide, they are inadequately regulated and consumers are victims of manufacturers' fraud. Thus, quality regulations are required to ensure safety of products available to the public. We propose the first native spectrofluorimetric quality control assay of raspberry ketone, a popular dietary supplement ingredient for weight loss.

In this work, a sensitive, simple and rapid bioanalytical method was established for the simultaneous determination of 13 PAHs in rat plasma depending on QuEChERS (Quick, easy, cheap, effective and rugged method) as a preliminary step and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for identification. QuEChERS procedure was optimized where acetonitrile was employed for plasma samples extraction, which was further cleaned using primary secondary amine as the sorbent material.

Four of these sensors were based on a newly designed molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) material consisting of acrylamide or methacrylic acid as a functional monomer in a plasticized PVC (polyvinyl chloride) membrane before and after elution of the template. A fifth sensor, a carboxylated PVC-based sensor plasticized with dioctyl phthalate, was also prepared and tested.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA sensitive, selective, and validated HPLC-diode-array detection method was developed for the simultaneous determination of five neonicotinoid insecticides-acetamiprid, imidacloprid, nitenpyram, flonicamid, and thiacloprid-and their primary metabolite, 6-chloronicotinic acid, in cucumbers and soil based on the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) technique as a pretreatment procedure. In the QuEChERS procedure, cucumber samples were extracted with acetonitrile and cleaned using C18, whereas soil samples were extracted with an acetonitrile-dichloromethane mixture (1 + 2). The HPLC conditions were optimized by separating neonicotinoids using an acetonitrile-water mixture (25 + 75) and a Synergi Hydro RP C18 column.
