Methods for determination of albendazole (ALB), albendazole sulfoxide (SOX) and albendazole sulfone (SON) in turkey blood plasma, using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection, were developed. Moreover, comparison of HPLC columns with ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) columns was performed. Albendazol was administered orally in 5-week-old birds (n = 18) at a dose of 25 mg/kg b.w. Accuracy and precision of the developed method were satisfactory and stability studies showed acceptable variation (below 15%) in ALB, SOX and SON concentrations when the samples were stored at -75°C for 15 days. UPLC(®) columns gave higher peaks from typical HPLC columns retaining high quality of analysis. Pharmacokinetic analysis indicated quick elimination of ALB from turkey blood plasma. The mean residence time of SON was at least two times longer than that of SOX and four times longer than that of ALB. The elimination half-lives for ALB, SOX and SON were 0.7 ± 0.27, 5.37 ± 6.03, 9.17 ± 5.12 h, respectively. The obtained results indicate that the described method allows for precise determination of albendazole and its metabolites in turkey plasma. Moreover, using UPLC columns in HPLC apparatus results in higher sensitivity as compared with the classical HPLC columns.

Quantification of ivermectin in veterinary products consumed off-label as a treatment for COVID-19.

Pharmazie

December 2024

Centre of Excellence for Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmacen™), North-West University, Potchefstroom, Republic of South Africa.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused global pandemonium, and due to an unprecedented global response, the popularity and use of (veterinary) ivermectin, amongst many other conceivable 'treatments', experienced a meteoric rise. Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone compound belonging to the avermectin drug class and is a registered medicine in many countries, although the most common use is as veterinary medicine. In this study, a fast HPLC method was developed and validated for the quantification of ivermectin in veterinary products that were used off-label by a substantial number of people during COVID-19.

Introduction: Adverse exposures in utero might cause adaptations of cardiovascular and metabolic organ development, predisposing individuals to an adverse cardio-metabolic risk profile from childhood onwards. We hypothesized that adaptations in metabolic pathways underlie these associations and examined associations of metabolite profiles at birth with childhood cardio-metabolic risk factors.

Methods: The study included 763 mother-child pairs participating in an ongoing population-based prospective cohort study with an overall low disease risk.

The Anti-Neuroinflammatory Effects of Cepharanthine in Uric Acid-Induced Neuroinflammation.

J Ethnopharmacol

January 2025

Department of Pharmacology of Chinese Materia Medica, Institution of Chinese Integrative Medicine, Hebei Medical University, Research Unit of Digestive Tract Microecosystem Pharmacology and Toxicology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, The Key Laboratory of Neural and Vascular Biology, Ministry of Education, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province 050017, China.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cepharanthine (CEP) is an alkaloid extracted from Stephania cephalantha Hayata, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) renowned for its heatclearing and dehumidifying properties. For centuries, Stephania cephalantha Hayata has been employed in the treatment of a wide range of diseases, including pain, edema, inflammation, and fever.

Aim Of The Study: Our research aims to investigate the role and mechanism of Cepharanthine in ameliorating uric acid (UA) induced neuroinflammatory responses.

An easy applicable and selective sample preparation technique has been developed for trace and simultaneously analysis of Glipizide (GLP) and Pravastatin (PST) molecules in biological matrices based on magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A new magnetic adsorbent including FeO@TEOS-Melamine has been synthetized and characterized for extraction studies. Experimental variables of MSPE were examined and optimized step by step such as pH, adsorption and desorption conditions, time effect, etc.
