Lithium formate ((6)LiOOCH.H(2)O), 95% (6)Li enrichment, combined with an exchange of crystallization water with D(2)O was investigated. The ESR spectrum of the radiation induced free radicals stable at room temperature consists of a singlet with a narrow line width, 0.92mT. (6)Li has smaller magnetic moment and nuclear spin, which resulted in the narrower line width accompanied with an increase in peak amplitude. In comparison with lithium formate with natural isotopic composition, (6)Li (7.5%, I=1) and (7)Li (92.5%, I=3/2), the sensitivity was increased by a factor of two. With optimised spectrometer settings (6)Li formate had seven times higher sensitivity compared to alanine. Therefore this material is proposed as a dosimeter material in a dose range down to 0.1Gy. The g and the (13)C-hyperfine (hf) tensors of the CO(2)(-) radical anion, major paramagnetic products, were evaluated to be g=(2.0037, 1.9975, 2.0017), and A((13)C)=(465.5, 447.5, 581.3) MHz for polycrystalline samples at room temperature. Furthermore, the (1)H-hf and (6)Li-hf tensors observed for the surroundings of CO(2)(-) by ENDOR technique were in fairly good agreement with DFT calculations. The CO(2)(-) radicals are found to be so stable that the formate is applicable to the ESR dosimetry, because of fully relaxing in a fully relaxed geometrical structure of the CO(2)(-) component and remaining tight binding with the surroundings after the H atom detachment from HCO(2)(-).

The C chemical species, potassium formate (K(HCO)), known as a two-electron reducing agent, finds application in the synthesis of multi-carbon compounds, including oxalate, and plays a crucial role not only in the food and pharmaceutical industries but also across various sectors. However, the direct hydrogenation of CO to produce K(HCO) remains a challenge. Addressing this issue, efficient production of K(HCO) is achieved by integrating CO hydrogenation in a trickle-bed reactor using a heterogeneous catalyst with a novel separation method that utilizes potassium ions from biomass ash for formic acid derivative product isolation.

The crustacean cuticle is a composite material acting as a shell, but also linked with other physiological functions as respiration, locomotion or reproduction. The present study aimed to characterize for the first time the cuticle properties of the marine prawn Palaemon serratus using thermal (TGA) and chemical (FTIR, ICP-AES) techniques. The use of native lyophilized cutiles also enabled to estimate the complexity of the cuticle structure of P.

A robust LC-MS/MS method was developed to quantify total and unbound doravirine in plasma samples from patients receiving daily doses of 100 mg doravirine, in combination with lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, in a phase 3 clinical trial. The trial is ongoing, and sample analysis is planned to commence once all samples have been collected. The method was validated to quantify both total and unbound doravirine using a single calibration curve.

Development and optimization of a high-throughput HPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of Cedazuridine, Gemcitabine and its metabolite in mouse plasma.

Gemcitabine (GEM) has been extensively applied in treating various solid tumors. Nonetheless, GEM is easily metabolized in vivo by cytidine deaminase (CDA) to inactive 2', 2'-Difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU) results in a low oral bioavailability, which limit its clinical application. It was found that Cedazuridine (CDZ) could effectively inhibit the deamination of the drug by CDA, and its combination with GEM might affect the oral bioavailability of GEM.

Background: Tavaborole (TAV), a benzoxaborole derivative, is an FDA-approved antifungal agent for treating onychomycosis, a common and persistent fungal infection of the toenails.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a robust stability-indicating HPTLC method to determine TAV in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) using a comprehensive approach that includes risk assessment, and Analytical Quality by Design.

Methods: The critical method parameters influencing the HPTLC results were screened using a Plackett-Burman screening design followed by its optimization using a central composite optimization design.
