Analytical expressions for the sCIS (scaled configuration interaction singles) and UCIS (unrestricted CIS) energy gradients are presented for the semiempirical method MSINDO. The theoretical background of the derivation of the analytical gradients is presented, and the implementation into the MSINDO program package is described. The computational efficiency of the underlying Z-vector method is greatly enhanced by making use of the transpose-free quasiminimal residual (TFQMR) algorithm. Benchmark timing tests are compared to the widely used TD-B3LYP approach. For a statistical evaluation of the accuracy of MSINDO-sCIS, geometry optimizations are performed for a small set of organic molecules in selected excited states. The obtained results are compared to CASPT2 and TD-B3LYP/TZVP. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the present approach to periodic systems within the cyclic cluster model, we present first calculations of the excited state structure of ethyne adsorbed on the NaCl (100) surface.

A novel LC-TQ-MS/MS method for quantifying mefenamic acid-NDSRI (N-nitroso drug substance-related impurity) in mefenamic acid tablet and pediatric suspension dosage forms: a comparative study with a cost-effective white, green, and blue UPLC method.

The current research presents novel LC-TQ-MS/MS and cost-effective UPLC methods intended for the accurate quantification of mefenamic acid-N-nitroso drug substance-related impurity-NDSRI (N-MFA) in mefenamic acid (MFA) tablet and pediatric suspension dosage forms. The acceptable intake of N-MFA is derived from the TD50 (Median Toxic Dose-50%) value of N-nitroso diphenylamine. The analytical separation was achieved for the UPLC method using an XBridge BEH Shield RP18 Column (150 × 3.

Background: Developing analytical methods for Traditional Medicine products by liquid chromatography is challenging due to their chemical complexity and the lack of analytical standards for numerous, unidentified constituents. Regulatory agencies recommend chromatographic fingerprint analysis for quality evaluation, relying on peak detection to ensure resolution. Conventional modelling struggles to optimise experimental conditions for such complex samples.

Background: Givinostat, a potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, is promising for the treatment of relapsed leukemia and myeloma.
Purpose: This study aimed to develop and verify a quick assay for the measurement of givinostat concentration using ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) with eliglustat as the internal standard (IS), establishing a basic pharmacokinetic profile for its pre-clinical application and metabolic stability in vitro.
Methods: Sample preparation was performed via protein precipitation using acetonitrile.
PTV Margins in MR-guided and Beam-gated SBRT of Liver Metastases: GTV Dose Escalation Can Reduce the Required PTV.

Aims: Determining appropriate PTV margins for SBRT of liver metastases is a non-trivial task, especially with motion management included. The widely used analytical van Herk margin recipe (van Herk et al., 2000) could break down due to (i) a low number of fractions, (ii) non-Gaussian errors, or (iii) non-homogenous dose distributions.

Dried blood spot (DBS) assays to quantify novel and repurposed drugs for the treatment of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) would facilitate pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring in low-middle income settings, considering their ease of application and simple sample storage requirements. We describe a DBS method for the simultaneous quantification of bedaquiline and metabolite N-desmethyl bedaquiline, linezolid, levofloxacin, and clofazimine. The analytes were extracted from the matrix and isolated by solid-phase extraction.
