Isocratic methods are described for the separation of purine compounds in specimens of jejunal mucosa available by peroral biopsy from patients with coeliac disease. The first mode provided separation of both the ionic nucleoside monophosphates and the non-ionic nitrogen bases and nucleosides. The second mode was applicable to analyses of the nucleoside mono-, di- and triphosphates only. These chromatographic procedures were carried out with tetrabutylammonium phosphate as an ion-pair modifier and different concentrations of acetonitrile in the mobile phase. The modes are flexible in that they permit the optimization of the separation of these compounds according to the purpose of the investigation. The results of studies on purine metabolite patterns in coeliac mucosa are discussed.

This study introduces a novel synchronous spectrofluorimetry coupled with chemometric tools for the determination of tenofovir and dolutegravir antiretroviral drugs. Utilizing partial least squares regression (PLS) fine-tuned by genetic algorithm as variable selection tool, the developed models demonstrate greater sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional HPLC methods. The model's validation was further confirmed using external validation in addition to QC samples as per ICH M10 guidelines, which yielded high accuracy ranged between 94.

Familial dysautonomia is a debilitating congenital neurodegenerative disorder with no causative therapy. It is caused by a homozygous mutation in ELP1 gene, resulting in the production of the transcript lacking exon 20. The compounds studied as potential treatments include the clinical candidate kinetin, a plant hormone from the cytokinin family.

In this study, we analyzed purine derivatives using multimatrix variation matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) with α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA), 1,5-diaminonaphtalene (DAN), 5-formylsalicylic acid (FSA), and 5-nitrosalicylic acid (NSA) as matrices. Further, we focused on the abstraction/attachment of hydrogen from/to analytes and detected [M - H], [M + 2H] and/or [M + 3H] in MALDI MS spectra of compounds containing nitrogen and/or carbonyl oxygen. Although [M - H] generation of purine compounds in MALDI MS with conventional matrices was challenging, NSA-MALDI MS effectively yielded the [M - H]species of purine derivatives compared with CHCA, FSA, and DAN, and the [M - H]/[M + H] ratios reflected their structures, such as the substituting groups and positions.

Targeting uric acid: a promising intervention against oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases.

Cell Commun Signal

Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are recognized as key factors in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, yet effective interventions and biomarkers to address oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in these conditions are limited. Uric acid (UA), traditionally associated with gout, is now gaining prominence as a potential target in neurodegenerative diseases. Soluble UA stands out as one of the most vital antioxidant compounds produced by the human body, accounting for up to 55% of the extracellular capacity to neutralize free radicals.
