In the present study, we prepared solid dispersions of water-insoluble and soluble drugs (ethenzamide (ETZ) and theophylline (THEO)) by the twin screw extruder method, which made it possible to control both kneading and heating at the same time under the fusion point of each drug, using three types of the controlled-release high-molecular-weight substance Carbopol (CAR) as the carrier. The solid dispersions obtained were evaluated and compared with those prepared by the organic solvent method. These products showed significantly increased solubility of ETZ, but the solubility of THEO was reduced indicating that CAR slows the release of THEO. It is important not only to simply knead under high pressure but to select the optimal operation temperature to bring these drugs into a semi-fusion state. Solid dispersions obtained by this method showed X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) patterns similar to those obtained by the organic solvent method indicating that the former can be used as a simple and effective method for preparation of solid dispersions.

Herein, using 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and 4,4',4″-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl) tris(1,1'-biphenyl) trianiline (Ttba) as ligands, nitrogen-rich triazine unit-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with a suitable pore size, named TpTtba-COFs, were synthesized, and they were employed as adsorbents for the extraction and detection of three bisphenols (BPs)-BP A (BPA), BP B (BPB), and BP S (BPS)-in water. Using 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (Tapt) and 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene (Tapb) ligands as substitutes for Ttba, nitrogen-rich triazine unit-based COFs with a smaller pore size and nitrogen-poor triazine unit-based COFs, named TpTapt-COFs and TpTapb-COFs, respectively, were also prepared for comparison. The adsorption performances of the three COF adsorbents with regard to the three BPs were tested.

Free fentanyl is responsible for its pharmacological effects, but its total concentration is typically determined for therapeutic drug monitoring purposes. Determination of fentanyl concentration can help reduce the prescribed doses, leading to fewer side effects and increased effectiveness. Therefore, predicting free drug concentration in pharmaceutical research is crucial.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with high metal loadings are highly desirable but still challenging for large scale synthesis. Here we report a new technique named as dry-solid-electrochemical synthesis (DSES) for a general large-scale synthesis of SACs with high metal loadings in an energy-conservation and environment-friendly way. With it, a series of pure carbon-supported metal SACs (Platinum up to 35.

Developing orally administered pediatric formulations presents significant challenges due to the unique characteristics of pediatric patients. Terbinafine hydrochloride (TER), a powerful antifungal agent, is effective against various fungal infections, including Tinea capitis, which is common in children. However, its low aqueous solubility necessitates innovative pharmaceutical strategies to enhance its effectiveness.

In the present study, metal-organic frameworks, MIL-101(Fe) and MIL-53(Al), were synthesized under solvothermal conditions and were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray energy diffraction spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The synthesized metal-organic frameworks were utilized for the purpose of dispersive micro-solid phase extraction of sorafenib in both human plasma and wastewater, which was subsequently followed by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet determination. Parameters affecting extraction efficacy including adsorbent amount, ionic strength, pH, type of elution solvent, adsorption and desorption time were optimized.
