A fully validated, simple, rapid and reproducible liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to determine NHC (N-hydroxycytidine), the active metabolite of Molnupiravir (MOL) in human plasma; one of the limited treatment options for SARS-CoV-2 in plasma of healthy volunteers. The internal standard (IS) used was ribavirin. The extraction of analyte and IS from plasma was performed using acetonitrile as a solvent for protein precipitation.

Unlabelled: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex multifactorial disease with different clinical manifestations. Bulbar symptoms such as dysarthria and dysphagia are common in MS patients with advanced secondary progressive disease. However, they are not common at disease onset.

Simple protein precipitation was adopted for plasma sample preparation using methanol. Chromatographic separation was accomplished on Eclipse plus C column (50 × 4.

Decompressive surgery is indicated only after failure of conservative treatment and/or severe neurologic deficit. The effectiveness of microsurgical decompression has been established only for secondary entrapment syndrome.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA rapid and simple stability-indicating liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for analysis of mesna in the presence of its degradation products in drug substance and drug products in a run time not >5 min. The separation was achieved on a RP amide C16 column at room temperature using methanol-phosphate buffer (10:90, v/v, pH 3.0) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL min(-1) and UV detection at 210 nm.
