The impurities, introduced intentionally or accidentally into certain materials, can significantly modify their characteristics or reveal their intrinsic physical properties, and thus play an important role in solid-state physics. Different from those static impurities in a solid, the impurities realized in cold atomic systems are naturally mobile. Here we propose an effective theory for treating some unique behaviors exhibited by ultracold mobile impurities. Our theory reveals the interaction-induced transition between the extended and localized impurity states, and also explains the essential features obtained from several previous models in a unified way. Based on our theory, we predict many intriguing phenomena in ultracold systems associated with the extended and localized impurities, including the formation of the impurity-molecules and impurity-lattices. We hope this investigation can open up a new avenue for the future studies on ultracold mobile impurities.

N-nitrosamine impurities have been detected in a vast variety of drug substances and drug products, showing concern for regulatory aspects. To meet the regulatory requirement for the concerned impurity, a sensitive analytical method capable of quantifying these impurities at a lower level with accuracy and precision is required. This article focuses on the development and validation of an analytical method for the simultaneous detection of nine nitrosamine impurities in a single method for nebivolol drug product using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (LC-MS/MS-APCI).

The current study investigates the use of mixed-mode chromatography as a combination of anion-exchange (AEX) and hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) for the analysis and purification of single-stranded antisense oligonucleotides with stereo-controlled phosphorothioate inter- nucleotide linkages. Initially a Scherzo-SS-C18 trimodal stationary phase with reversed-phase/AEX/ cation-exchange (CEX) functionalities is systematically evaluated to reveal the presence of U-shaped retention composed of two retention modes namely AEX and HIC, where the latter was also observed on related trimodal Scherzo SM and SW analogues. For the first time, retention and separation of deprotected oligonucleotides was described on a single mixed-mode column using a combination of AEX and HIC.

The purification of large biotherapeutic modalities such as viral coat proteins, plasmid DNA, mRNA, therapeutic viruses and vesicles is more challenging than the purification of smaller and more established products such as monoclonal antibodies. This is because these entities, due to their large size, have limited access to binding sites present in the pores of conventional resin-based chromatographic media. However, this transport limitation could potentially be exploited for their purification using size exclusion chromatography (SEC).

Rationale: The present study aims to establish structures of the degradation products of an anti-diabetic drug, Imeglimin (IMG) approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the year 2021. Degradation pathways are proposed along with in silico toxicity assessments of the observed degradation products (DPs) of the drug.
Methods: A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), equipped with a photodiode array detector, was used to separate the observed DPs with a Phenomenex Luna PFP (250 × 4.

Background: Melatonin supplements are often used to alleviate jetlag and other sleep-depletion related disorders. Recent studies found large inconsistencies between labeled values and actual contents of melatonin within products, which has led to concerns over the quality of melatonin supplements. In order to facilitate the quality control testing of melatonin supplements, an improved and more modern approach to the liquid chromatographic analysis of melatonin is required.
