A rapid resolution reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RR RP-HPLC) method has been developed and validated for simultaneous determination of haloperidol and six related compounds. Investigated matrix was a laboratory mixture of a therapeutic active substance haloperidol and its six related compounds in concentration ratio 300:1. Experimental design was used during method optimization (full factorial 23 design) and robustness testing (Central Composite Circumscribed design). Three factors: organic phase variation during gradient elution, flow rate and gradient rise time were independent variables. To estimate the system response during the optimization procedure and robustness testing, resolution (Rs) and a chromatographic response function (CRF) were used. Chromatography was performed with the mobile phase containing phosphate buffer pH 6.5 and acetonitrile as organic modifier. Separation was achieved using gradient elution (organic phase fraction changed linearly from 20 to 72 %) over 7 min. A Zorbax Eclipse XDB C18 Rapid Resolution HT 4.6 mm x 50 mm, 1.8 mum particle size, column was used at 25 degrees C at a flow rate of 1.5 mL min-1. UV detection was performed at 230 nm. The total time for chromatographic separation was 5.5 min with a total analysis time of 7.0 min. The method was validated for its linearity, precision, modal recovery and robustness.

Chronic use of typical antipsychotics can lead to varying motor effects depending on the timing of analysis. Acute treatment typically induces hypokinesia, resembling parkinsonism, while repeated use can result in tardive dyskinesia, a hyperkinetic syndrome marked by involuntary orofacial movements, such as vacuous chewing movements in mice. Tardive dyskinesia is particularly concerning due to its potential irreversibility and associated motor discomfort.

1-(2-(4-(4-ethylphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)phenyl)ethanone (ETAP) is a novel hybrid compound containing 1,2,3-triazole and acetophenone. It exhibits antidepressant-like effects in male mice, linked to modulation of serotonergic receptors and monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) inhibition. This study aimed to evaluate the involvement of the dopaminergic and noradrenergic systems, as well as MAO-B activity inhibition, in the antidepressant-like effect of ETAP in male mice, and to evaluate the antidepressant-like effect of ETAP in female mice.

Article Synopsis
  • The dual centrifugation method is an efficient tool for preparing submicron pharmaceutical suspensions by enabling the simultaneous milling of 40 samples, but more research is needed to fully understand how different process variables affect particle sizes.
  • Key factors influencing particle size include milling speed, bead size, and bead loading, while rotor temperature had no significant impact when polysorbate 20 was used.
  • The study found that optimal conditions, such as higher milling speeds and smaller beads, led to faster size reductions, achieving target sizes in about 30 minutes for specific compounds like cinnarizine, haloperidol, and indomethacin.

Electroextraction (EE) encompasses a range of sample preparation methods whose effectiveness, selectivity, and efficiency are significantly influenced by the physical-chemical characteristics of analytes, samples, and instrumental conditions. This article explores, for the first time, various strategies aimed at enhancing the extraction efficiency of a recent approach of EE utilizing a paper point (PP) combined with a hollow fiber (HF) (abbreviated as PP-HF-EE) to extract various cationic and anionic model compounds from water samples. The study also explores, experimentally, the impact of agitation, organic filter composition, PP diameter, and PP brand on extraction performance, and proves that all these factors are quite important, especially when digital image analysis is utilized for determination.

Article Synopsis
  • Delirium is a fluctuating mental condition that increases risks of long hospital stays, health complications, and death, but diagnosing it objectively is challenging.
  • Recent studies show that bispectral electroencephalography (BSEEG) can effectively diagnose delirium and predict patient outcomes, potentially serving as a vital sign.
  • In experiments with a mouse model, two compounds, P7C3-A20 and minocycline, successfully prevented delirium symptoms caused by infections, while haloperidol did not, suggesting new therapeutic avenues for protecting patients from delirium.
