A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of indole-3-carbinol (I3C), 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), [2-(indol-3-ylmethyl)-indol-3-yl]indol-3-ylmethane (LTr(1)), and indolo[3,2b]carbazole (ICZ). Compounds were extracted from mouse plasma using tert.-butyl methyl ether, incorporating 4-methoxy-indole as internal standard. Chromatographic separation utilized a Waters Symmetry RP18 in tandem with a Thermoquest BDS C(18) column, an acetonitrile-water gradient and UV (280 nm) in series with fluorescence (ex. 335 nm; em. 415 nm) detection. Calibration curves were linear (r(2)>0.99) between 50 and 15,000 ng/ml for I3C; 150 and 15,000 ng/ml for LTr(1); and 0.15 and 37.5 ng/ml for ICZ and the method was reproducible and precise (within-day and between-day coefficients of variation below 9.7 and 13%, respectively). The method described is suitable for comprehensive pharmacokinetic studies with indole-3-carbinol.

Deep and accurate proteome analysis is crucial for understanding cellular processes and disease mechanisms; however, it is challenging to implement in routine settings. In this protocol, we combine a robust chromatographic platform with a high-performance mass spectrometric setup to enable routine yet in-depth proteome coverage for a broad community. This entails tip-based sample preparation and pre-formed gradients (Evosep One) combined with a trapped ion mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometer (timsTOF, Bruker).

RP-HPLC technique was developed and optimized for simultaneous identification and estimation of nirmatrelvir (NIR) and ritonavir (RIT) in their new copackaged tablet. Stability of nirmatrelvir (NIR) was studied after exposure to different five stress conditions; alkali, acid, heat, photo and oxidation degradation. The chromatographic separation was achieved using VDSpher PUR 100 ODS (4.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the detection of osimertinib in rat plasma, lung and brain tissues.
Methods: Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into an experimental group (receiving osimertinib at doses of 5, 8, and 10 mg/kg) and a control group. After continuous intragastric administration for 15 days, samples of blood, lung, and brain tissue were collected.

Bexicaserin is a highly selective agonist at the 5-HT receptor in clinical development for the treatment of seizures associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs). We report an LC-MS/MS method for the quantitative estimation of bexicaserin in human plasma and urine. The sample preparation involves the extraction of bexicaserin and internal standard (CD-bexicaserin; IS) from 150 μL plasma and 50 μL urine using a solid phase extraction method.

Hypertension and dyslipidemia are two of the most frequently co-occurring cardiovascular risk factors. The combined regimen of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), rosuvastatin (ROS), and losartan (LOS) helped in the successful management of both conditions. This work's objective is to develop an eco-friendly, sensitive, simple, and reliable chromatographic method for the simultaneous estimation of HCTZ, ROS, and the LOS ternary mixture in their pure form, and pharmaceutical formulations.
