Spectroscopic properties (FT-IR, NMR and UV) and DFT studies of amodiaquine.

Amodiaquine (AQ) was synthesized by a condensation reaction and characterized by experimental FT-IR, H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and UV spectroscopies. In the present work, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The structural and spectroscopic (FT-IR, H and C NMR and UV) data of amodiaquine molecule in ground state have been investigated by using Density Functional Theory (DFT).

Hepatoprotective and in vivo antioxidant effects of granulometric classes and decoction of Mildbread leaves powders against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats.

is a plant from the Moraceae family commonly used in African countries for its nutritional value and its believed medicinal properties. Its antioxidant in vitro capacity and its richness in phenolic compounds have been previously demonstrated. This work aimed at evaluating the hepatoprotective and in vivo antioxidant activities of different granulometric fractions of the leaves against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

In-Field Implementation of Near-Infrared Quantitative Methods for Analysis of Medicines in Tropical Environments.

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is actually a well-established technique that demonstrates its performance in the frame of detection of poor-quality medicines. The use of low-cost handheld NIR spectrophotometers in low-resource contexts can allow an inexpensive and more rapid detection compared to laboratory methods. Considering these points, it was decided to develop, validate, and transfer methods for the quantification of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole tablet samples using a NIR handheld spectrophotometer in transmission mode (NIR-M-T1) coupled to chemometrics such as partial least squares regression (PLSR) algorithm.

Usefulness of medicine screening tools in the frame of pharmaceutical post-marketing surveillance.

The negative consequences of Substandard and falsified (SF) medicines are widely documented nowadays and there is still an urgent need to find them in more efficient ways. Several screening tools have been developed for this purpose recently. In this study, three screening tools were used on 292 samples of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole collected in Cameroon.

Prevalence of Poor Quality Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole Tablets in Three Cities in Cameroon.

Quality is one of the essential components of medicines and needs to be ensured to preserve the population's health. This can be achieved through post-marketing quality control of medicines and is one of the most important duties of national regulatory authorities. In collaboration with the Cameroonian National Drug Quality Control and Valuation Laboratory, the decision was made to initiate a prevalence study to assess the quality of antiinfective medicines in Cameroon.

Poor-Quality Medicines in Cameroon: A Critical Review.

Poor-quality medicines are the cause of many public health and socioeconomic problems. We conducted a review to acquire an overview of the situation concerning such medicines in Cameroon. Different searches were performed on databases from several websites of the WHO, the Ministry of Public Health of Cameroon, the Anti-Counterfeit Medicine Research Institute, the Global Pharma Health Fund, and the Infectious Disease Data Observatory.

Identification and quantification of 19 pharmaceutical active compounds and metabolites in hospital wastewater in Cameroon using LC/QQQ and LC/Q-TOF.

Human pharmaceutical residues are a serious environmental concern. They have been reported to have eco, geno, and human toxic effects, and thus their importance as micropollutants cannot be ignored. These have been studied extensively in Europe and North America.
