A new flow-injection procedure for the determination of phenylpropanolamine and methoxamine is proposed. The method is based on the derivatization reaction of the primary amine group with o-phthalaldehyde in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol using fluorimetric detection. The calibration graphs based on peak areas were linear in the ranges 5-200 ng ml(-1) for phenylpropanolamine and 0.2-6 ng ml(-1) for methoxamine. The detection limits were 3.8 and 0.13 ng ml(-1), respectively. The methods were applied to the determination of the drugs in commercial pharmaceutical preparations.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 plays a major role in drug metabolism. Its activity could be determined by non-invasive and cost-effective assays, such as breath analysis, for the personalised monitoring of drug response. For the first time, we identify an isotopically unlabelled CYP3A4 substrate, tolterodine that leads to the formation of a non-toxic volatile metabolite, acetone, which could potentially be applied to monitor CYP3A4 activity in humans.

In part I, we reported Hansen solubility parameters (HSP, HSPiP program), experimental solubility at varied temperatures for TOTA delivery. Here, we studied dose volume selection, stability, pH, osmolality, dispersion, clarity, and viscosity of the explored combinations (I-VI). Ex vivo permeation and deposition studies were performed to observe relative diffusion rate from the injected site in rat skin.

Objective: We conducted a systematic evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy and complications of tolterodine and α-adrenergic receptor blockers in alleviating ureteral stent-related symptoms.
Methods: Until August 2023, we conducted a comprehensive literature search on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library to identify randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy and complications of tolterodine and α-adrenergic receptor blockers in treating ureteral stent-related symptoms. Two reviewers independently screened studies and extracted data.

Tolterodine tartrate (TTD) was the first antimuscarinic medication developed exclusively for the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome and was approved by the FDA in 1998. As a result of the drug's extensive utilization within the local community following its authorization, there is a pressing need to develop and validate a spectrofluorometric method that is economically efficient, easily reproducible, environmentally sustainable, and possesses high sensitivity. The developed approach relies on enhancing the fluorescence intensity of TTD to reach a level 720 % higher than its initial value, achieved through the application of an aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution.

Objectives: The aetiology of gastroschisis is considered multifactorial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether the use of medications during pregnancy, is associated with the risk of gastroschisis in offspring.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus were searched from 1st January 1990 to 31st December 2020 to identify observational studies examining the association between medication use during pregnancy and the risk of gastroschisis.
