Celecoxib and tramadol have been combined in a novel FDA-approved medication to address acute pain disorders requiring opioid treatment when other analgesics proved either intolerable or ineffective. The absorbance spectra of celecoxib and tramadol exhibit significant overlap, posing challenges for their individual quantification. This study introduces a spectrophotometric quantification approach for celecoxib and tramadol using a principle component regression assistive model to assist resolving the overlapped spectra and quantifying both drugs in their binary mixture.

However, there is a critical need to determine the free calcium levels in healthy people's nasal secretions in contrast to those of patients with olfactory impairment. A selective spectrofluorometric method was created to quantify nasal calcium levels utilizing its quenching ability to the fluorescence of the functionalized carbon quantum dots.

Herein, an innovative fluorescence chemo sensor was developed for the determination of finerenone in the pharmaceutical dosage form and the plasma matrix. The method is basically based on chemical transformation of finerenone into a fluorescent product through sequential reactions.

Chronic otitis media is a common condition characterized by fluid accumulation in the middle ear, leading to a perforated eardrum and persistent middle ear drainage. Despite its impact on global health, the role of heavy metals, particularly copper and zinc, in its development and progression remains understudied. Herein, a spectrofluorometric method was developed for the precise determination of copper and zinc in human plasma samples and investigate their association with chronic otitis media.

Histamine plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological functions and is significantly involved in the development of allergic rhinitis. Accurately measuring histamine levels in nasal secretions can serve as a specific indicator for studying mast cell activation and diagnosing allergic reactions. However, the controversy surrounding histamine levels in nasal secretions during allergenic stimulation suggests potential inaccuracies and imprecision in the analytical methods used, as well as the presence of substances that may interfere with the determination of histamine.

Aripiprazole is an antipsychotic medicine used to treat a variety of mental disorders, including irritability linked with autism disorder in children. Herein, a green and highly sensitive spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of aripiprazole in pharmaceutical dosage form and plasma matrix. The method based on the formation of a fluorescent adduct from the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-chloride) with aripiprazole, which can be detected at 542 nm following excitation at 481 nm.
