Simultaneous Determination of Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, and Caffeine in Tablets by Molecular Absorption Spectroscopy Combined with Classical Least Square Method.

In this paper, the classical least-squares (CLS) method with molecular absorption spectrophotometric measurement was used to determine simultaneously paracetamol (PAR), ibuprofen (IBU), and caffeine (CAF) in tablets. The absorbance spectra of the standard solutions and samples were measured over a wavelength from 220 to 300 nm with a 0.5 nm step.

A natural product inspired tetrahydropyran collection yields mitosis modulators that synergistically target CSE1L and tubulin.

A Prins cyclization between a polymer-bound aldehyde and a homoallylic alcohol served as the key step in the synthesis of tetrahydropyran derivatives. A phenotypic screen led to the identification of compounds that inhibit mitosis (as seen by the accumulation of round cells with condensed DNA and membrane blebs). These compounds were termed tubulexins as they target the CSE1L protein and the vinca alkaloid binding site of tubulin.
