This paper describes a stripping method for the determination of acyclovir at the submicromolar concentration level. This method is based on controlled adsorptive accumulation of acyclovir at thin-film mercury electrode, followed by a linear cyclic scan voltammetry measurement of the surface species. Optimal experimental conditions include a NaOH solution of 2.0 × 10(-3) mol L(-1) (supporting electrolyte), an accumulation potential of -0.40 V, and a scan rate of 100 mV s(-1). The response of acyclovir is linear over the concentration range 0.02 to 0.12 ppm. For an accumulation time of 4 minutes, the detection limit was found to be 0.42 ppb (1.0 × 10(-9) mol L(-1)). More convenient methods to measure the acyclovir in presence of the didanosine, efavirenz, nevirapine, nelfinavir, lamivudine, and zidovudine were also investigated. The utility of this method is demonstrated by the presence of acyclovir together with Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or DNA.

Citrullus lanatus is an important vegetable crop, but it is heavily polluted by cadmium. In this study, we used C. Lanatus as experimental material to investigate effects of different concentrations (0, 50, 100, 200, 400 µmolL) of exogenous melatonin, and grafting on the physiological growth index and anatomical structure of seedlings were studied by simulating Cd (180 mg L) stress environment.

For on-site analysis, the combination of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and colorimetry, as a dual-mode detection, can effectively improve the accuracy of detection, and reduce the influence of instrument fluctuation, which greatly improves the accuracy and reliability of the results. However, the preparation of SERS/colorimetry substrates are usually time-consuming and costly, which limits their practical applications. In this paper, a hydrophobic paper-based SERS/colorimetry substrate can be prepared by a simple spraying method.

Hypertension and dyslipidemia are two of the most frequently co-occurring cardiovascular risk factors. The combined regimen of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), rosuvastatin (ROS), and losartan (LOS) helped in the successful management of both conditions. This work's objective is to develop an eco-friendly, sensitive, simple, and reliable chromatographic method for the simultaneous estimation of HCTZ, ROS, and the LOS ternary mixture in their pure form, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Achieving a net-zero emissions economy requires significant decarbonization of the transportation sector, which depends on the development of highly efficient electrocatalysts. Electrolytic water splitting is a promising approach to this end, with Ni-Mo alloys emerging as strong candidates for hydrogen production catalysts. This study investigates the electrodeposition of Ni and Ni-Mo nanostructured alloys with high molybdenum content onto low-carbon steel cathodes using a novel alkaline green lactate bath.
