Aim: Some literatures revealed that the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for single component or multicomponent analysis of montelukast sodium with other drugs. However, these methods deals with time consuming, so it is necessary to develop a cost-effective and less time consuming method for the estimation of doxofylline and montelukast sodium in combined pharmaceutical formulation.
Materials And Methods: The separation was performed on an inertsil C8 (5 μm, 4.6 × 250 mm) column in isocratic mode with the mobile phase consisting a mixture of methanol and sodium phosphate buffer (75:25 v/v, pH 6.5 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid). The mobile phase was pumped at a flow rate of 1 mL min(-1) and eluents were monitored at 230 nm.
Results: The selected chromatographic conditions were found to separate doxofylline (retention time = 3.4 min) and montelukast sodium (retention time = 5.5 min) with a resolution of 5.47. The proposed HPLC method was validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, repeatability, specificity, robustness, and ruggedness as per International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines Q2(R1), November 2005 (Validation of Analytical Procedures: Text and Methodology). The percentage recoveries for doxofylline and montelukast sodium ranged from 98.1% to 101.7% and 98.2 to 101.9%, respectively, which indicated that the above method was enough accurate and precise.
Conclusions: Hence, it was concluded that the developed method is suitable for routine analysis of these combination due to its less analysis time.

Importance: Spontaneous reports have indicated that montelukast increases the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events, and the US Food and Drug Administration added a boxed warning about these risks in 2020. However, the potential mechanism is not well understood, and the observational evidence is scarce, particularly in children.
Objective: To assess the potential association between the use of montelukast and the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events in children and adolescents.

Background: Studies have suggested associations between montelukast and increased risks of sleep disorders, including overall sleeping problems and insomnia. However, the results of observational studies are not consistent. Understanding these associations is crucial, particularly in patients solely diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, where montelukast use remains prevalent.

Background: Vancomycin ranks amongst the most utilized antimicrobial agents in the treatment of serious β-lactam-resistant Gram-positive infections, but its use has been associated with nephrotoxicity. Reduction of acute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported in pre-clinical models with adjuvant montelukast. The purpose of the study was to ascertain if montelukast was associated with a reduction in the prevalence of vancomycin-associated AKI.

Introduction: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), from the family Coronaviridae, is the seventh known coronavirus to infect humans and cause acute respiratory syndrome. Although vaccination efforts have been conducted against this virus, which emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has spread rapidly around the world, the lack of an Food and Drug Administration-approved antiviral agent has made drug repurposing an important approach for emergency response during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of H1-antihistamines as antiviral agents against SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzyme.

: Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. A hallmark of the disease is the rapid remission of proteinuria following a high dose of steroids. Recurrent disease or steroid dependence are common, leading to a high steroid burden and the introduction of steroid sparing therapy.
