Does Price Really Matter for Generic Alternatives? Supervised learning Approaches in Deciding the Right Price for Acceptable Quality Attributes of Amlodipine Besylate among Generic Alternatives.

The price and safety of finished pharmaceutical preparations are two major concerns while prescribing medicine. In this work, machine learning-based classification models were developed with respect to the quality attributes of 258 samples covering 9 marketed amlodipine (AMLO) formulations. The quantitation of AMLO and its three sulfonate ester genotoxic impurities of besylate counter ion was settled using a validated high-performance liquid chromatography-diode-array detection method.

Effect of glycation-induced concentration-dependent change in albumin structure and alteration in its binding capacity.

Reducing sugars causes confirmatory alterations in albumin structure by the nonenzymatic glycation of the amino group of serum albumin. In this study, glucose and its hazardous metabolic products like glyoxal and methylglyoxal were incubated with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The confirmational changes in BSA molecule's structure by glycating substances was investigated using a variety of spectroscopic methods, including deconvolutionFourier Transform Infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.
