A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system using a porous graphitic carbon (PGC) stationary phase interfaced with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source and a tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS) for the analysis of cytarabine (ara-C) in mouse plasma samples has been developed in support of a pharmacodynamic study. The graphitized carbon column was adopted for the separation of ara-C and endogenous peaks from mouse plasma samples under the reversed-phase phase mode in liquid chromatography. The retention characteristics of the PGC column and the ionization efficiencies of all analytes based on the experimental factors such as the composition of mobile phases were investigated. The potential of ionization suppression resulting from the endogenous biological matrices on the PGC column during HPLC/ESI-MS/MS was investigated using post-column infusion. The concentrations of ara-C in mouse plasma obtained by using PGC-HPLC/MS/MS and ion-pairing HPLC/MS/MS were found to be in good agreement in terms of analytical accuracy.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) still causes death in elderly and immunocompromised individuals, for whom the sustainability of the vaccine response may be limited. Antiviral treatments, such as remdesivir or molnupiravir, have demonstrated limited clinical efficacy. Nirmatrelvir, an acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) major protease inhibitor, is clinically effective but has been associated with viral rebound and antiviral resistance.

This study aimed to develop a quantitative analytical method for the simultaneous determination of cannabidiol (CBD) and melatonin (MT) in mouse plasma using the protein precipitation method coupled with LC-MS/MS. Additionally, this study sought to investigate the impact of CBD on the pharmacokinetics of MT in mice using this method. Mouse plasma samples were precipitated with acetonitrile and analyzed using a Kromasil 100-5-C8 (2.

Indomethacin (IDM) is commonly used to treat chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. However, long-term oral IDM treatment can harm the gastrointestinal tract. This study presents a design for encapsulating IDM within mixed micelles (MMs)-loaded dissolving microneedles (DMNs) to improve and sustain transdermal drug delivery.

Arsenic exposure can induce liver insulin resistance (IR) and diabetes (DM), but the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the regulation of the onset of diabetes, especially in the progression of IR. This study aimed to investigate the role of circRNAs in arsenic-induced hepatic IR and its underlying mechanism.
