Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) has emerged as an easy, rapid and reproducible method for various pharmaceuticals. In the current study, a general qNMR approach for calibrating the purity of the thiopeptcin reference standard (also known as nocathiacin I) was developed using sulfadoxine as an internal standard. Experimental conditions, such as the relaxation delay time and number of scans, were systematically optimized, and the method was validated with different analytical parameters, including selectivity, stability, linearity, precision and robustness. To examine the reliability and feasibility of the present qNMR method, there was no significant difference in the quantification of this complex cyclic peptide compared to the mass balance method. The present study further exemplified that qNMR is a reliable and valuable approach for the assessing of absolute purity of small-molecule pharmaceuticals, which provides a useful tool for drug discovery and development.

The effective implementation of domestic and international safeguards necessitates verification techniques for Nuclear Materials (NM). Even in the case of very small quantities of NMs, accounting for and analyzing such traces can provide insights into the mass balance of NMs and/or state activities, ensuring consistency in state declarations. This paper proposes and benchmarks an absolute calibration methodology for estimating the uranium-mass content in large-volume barrels (200 L).

Phytohemagglutinin (PHA), a natural tetramer comprising PHA-E and PHA-L subunits that preferentially bind to red and white blood cells, respectively, constitutes a significant antinutritional and allergenic factor in common bean seeds. The accurate measurement of PHA content is a prerequisite for ensuring food safety inspections and facilitating genetic improvements in common bean cultivars with reduced PHA levels. Currently, mainstream methods for PHA quantification involve hemagglutination assays and immunodetection, but these methods often require fresh animal blood and lack specificity and accuracy.

Background: Intranasal administration is a convenient route for drug delivery that can be applied for procedural sedation. However, there is currently limited exploration into fixed dosing regimens. This study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), bioavailability (BA) and safety of dexmedetomidine after fixed doses of intranasal and intravenous administration in healthy male and female subjects.

Background: Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) has been demonstrated as an effective treatment for graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). The inline system was developed by Therakos in 1987. Recently, Fresenius Kabi implemented an integration of cell separator Amicus and a UVA photoactivation device (Phelix), realizing an inline photopheresis system.

A synthesis of new enantiomerically enriched derivatives of (S)-α-aminopropionic acid, containing in the β-position 1,2,3-triazole groups coupled with a o-, m- and p-substituted phenyl residue, was developed based on Cu(I) catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of azides with alkynes. As the starting materials was used the square-planar Ni(II)complex of the Schiff base of propargylglycine with the chiral auxiliary BPB (Benzylprolylbenzophenone) and 1,4-substituted phenyl azides. The assignment of the (S)-absolute configuration of the α-carbon atom of the amino acid residue of the main diastereomeric complexes of the cycloaddition products was carried out on the basis of positive Cotton effects in the region of 480-580 nm of the circular dichroism spectra.
