AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method using micellar liquid chromatography has been created to measure levels of the antiretroviral drugs abacavir, lamivudine, and raltegravir in blood plasma, which are used together for treating AIDS.
  • The process includes diluting plasma samples in micellar solutions, filtering them, and analyzing without needing a cleanup stage, allowing for complete resolution of the drugs in under 30 minutes.
  • The method has been validated according to established guidelines, demonstrating strong accuracy and precision, making it the first of its kind to effectively quantify these three medications in plasma from AIDS patients.

Article Abstract

An analytical methodology based on micellar liquid chromatography has been developed to quantify abacavir, lamivudine and raltegravir in plasma. These three antiretroviral drugs are prescribed as a set in highly active antiretroviral therapy to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients. The experimental procedure consists in the dilution of the sample in micellar media, followed by filtration and, without cleanup step. The analytes were resolved in less than 30min using a mobile phase of 0.05M sodium dodecyl sulphate at pH 7, running at 1mLmin(-1) under isocratic mode at room temperature through a C18 column (125×4.6mm, 5μm particle size). The UV detection wavelength was set at 260nm. The method was successfully validated following the requirements of ICH guidelines in terms of: linear range (0.25-2.5μgmL(-1)), linearity (r(2)>0.990), intra- and interday precision (<6.8%) and accuracy (92.3-104.2%) and robustness (<7.1%). To the extent of our knowledge, this is the first published method to quantify these three drugs in plasma. Several blood samples from AIDS patients taking this HAART set provided by a local hospital were analyzed with satisfactory results.

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.

Influence of CTAB Reverse Micellar Confinement on the Tetrahedral Structure of Liquid Water.

J Phys Chem B

January 2025

Department of Computational Sciences, School of Basic Sciences, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda 151401, India.

The effect of confinement on the tetrahedral ordering of liquid water plays a vital role in controlling their microscopic structure and dynamics as well as their spectroscopic properties. In this article, we have performed the classical molecular dynamics simulations of four different CTAB/water/chloroform reverse micelles with varied water content to study how the tetrahedral ordering of nanoscale water inside reverse micellar confinement influences the microscopic dynamics and the structural relaxation of water···water hydrogen bonds and its impact on the low-frequency intermolecular vibrational bands. We have noticed from the results obtained from simulated trajectories the lowering trends of tetrahedral ordering of water pools in reverse micellar confinements as we move from bulk to confined and strictly confined environments.

Sigal peptides have garnered remarkable efficacy in rejuvenating photoaged skin and delaying senescence. Nevertheless, their low solubility and poor permeability bring about a formidable challenge in their transdermal delivery. To address this challenge, bioactive ionic liquids (ILs) synthesized from natural glycyrrhizic acid (GA) and oxymatrine (OMT) with eminent biocompatibility is first prepared.
