A novel and simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of tiopronin with sodium 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate (NQS) is established in this paper. The detailed mechanism is proposed and discussed. It is based on the fact that tiopronin can catalyze the reaction between sodium 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate and hydroxyl ion to form 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone in a buffer solution of pH 13.00 at the maximal absorption wavelength of 445 nm. When tetradecyl benzyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (Zeph) is added to the solution, the sensitivity of the reaction is improved. Beer's law is obeyed in a range of 0.39 - 15.67 microg mL(-1). The equation of linear regression is A = 0.11749 + 0.05914C (microg mL(-1)), with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.9973. The detection limit is 0.2 microg mL(-1), RSD is 0.88% and the recovery rate is in the range of 96.6 - 103.9%. Furthermore, the method has been validated and successfully applied to the determination of tiopronin in pharmaceutical samples.

Urolithiasis is a multifactorial condition where stone composition is critical in guiding treatment and prevention strategies. Advanced diagnostic techniques, such as infrared spectroscopy, provide precise stone analysis, enabling clinicians to tailor interventions based on specific stone types and associated metabolic abnormalities. Calcium oxalate monohydrate stones often require invasive approaches like percutaneous nephrolithotomy, while uric acid responds well to dissolution therapy.

Background: The anticancer activity and radiosensitizing effect of Auranofin, an an-tirheumatic and an approved gold metallic drug, have been investigated from multiple perspectives. In this study, the action of the new gold complex compound TPN-Au(I)-MM4 was compared with that of auranofin.
Methods: The inhibitory effect of 10 μM and 50 μM concentrations on cell proliferation was investigated using the human colon cancer cell lines HCT116 and SW480.

: Crystallization experiments of renal-calculi-forming compounds (calcium oxalate, calcium phosphates, uric acid) are normally performed by monitoring these processes during periods of time similar to the residence of urine inside the kidney. Nevertheless, cystine requires high supersaturation for its crystallization, and most experiments last for longer periods. It must be considered that at high supersaturation, the inhibitors of crystalline development have poor effects.

Despite the high medicinal value of tiopronin, there are substantial adverse effects such as yellow skin, yellow eyes, muscle aches, etc. Therefore, there is a huge necessity to identify tiopronin using advanced sensors in provided samples. Recently, the preference for graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and inorganic nanomaterial-based fluorescent sensors for the detection of pharmaceuticals has been extensively documented due to their plentiful advantages.
