The objective of this study was to develop a rapid and simplified, reliable high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for quantification of cefpirome (CAS 98753-19-6) in plasma. After precipitation of the plasma containing the internal standard, hydrochlorothiazide, with 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA), the analysis of the cefpirome level in the plasma samples was carried out using a reverse-phase C18 column with the ultraviolet detector set at a wavelength of 258 nm. The chromatographic separation was accomplished with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-acetate buffer pH 5. The proposed method was specific and sensitive with a lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 0.5 microg/ml. This HPLC method was validated by examining the precision and accuracy for inter- and intra-day analysis in the concentration range 0.5-64.0 microg/ml. The relative standard deviation in the inter- and intra-day validation was less than 3%. Analytical recovery was more than 84%, and cefpirome was found to be stable in human plasma during both the storage and assay procedures. A satisfactory pharmacokinetic study of cefpirome was carried out in rabbits using the devised procedure.

The present study explored the influence of submerged fermentation with different lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as a pre-treatment of moringa leaves before the extraction of phenolic compounds via sonotrode. The sonotrode extraction was optimized using a Box-Behnken design and the optimal conditions found were: 25 % ethanol, 5 min and 100 % amplitude. Folin-reacting substances and antioxidant activity were measured on hydroalcoholic extracts obtained from fermented moringa leaves and, individual phenolic compounds were determined by HPLC-ESI-TOF-MS for the first time.

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), short-chain polymers with prebiotic properties, have gained significant commercial attention over the past few decades due to their potential as nutraceutical components. Derived from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB), XOS serve as health promoting compounds with applications across multiple sectors, including food pharmaceutical and cosmetic. This comprehensive review provides an overview of XOS production, purification, characterization, and quantification, highlighting their derivation from various sources such as agricultural waste, agro-economical forest residues, and nutrient-dense energy crops.
