Cannabis has regained much attention as a result of updated legislation authorizing many different uses and can be classified on the basis of the content of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychotropic substance for which there are legal limitations in many countries. For this purpose, accurate qualitative and quantitative determination is essential. The relationship between THC and cannabidiol (CBD) is also significant as the latter substance is endowed with many specific and non-psychoactive proprieties. For these reasons, it becomes increasingly important and urgent to utilize fast, easy, validated, and harmonized procedures for determination of cannabinoids. The procedure described herein allows rapid determination of 10 cannabinoids from the inflorescences of L. by extraction with organic solvents. Separation and subsequent detection are by RP-HPLC-UV. Quantification is performed by an external standard method through the construction of calibration curves using pure standard chromatographic reference compounds. The main cannabinoids dosed (g/100 g) in actual samples were cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), CBD, and Δ9-THC (Sample L11 CBDA 0.88 ± 0.04, CBD 0.48 ± 0.02, Δ9-THC 0.06 ± 0.00; Sample L5 CBDA 0.93 ± 0.06, CBD 0.45 ± 0.03, Δ9-THC 0.06 ± 0.00). The present validated RP-HPLC-UV method allows determination of the main cannabinoids in L. inflorescences and appropriate legal classification as hemp or drug-type.

In this research study, a simple, rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography method was developed and validated for determination of Cetirizine and Levocetirizine in human plasma. The drugs were separated on an ACE Generix100-5 C18 RP (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column, using Acetonitrile and Distilled water pH 7 (59:41 v/v) as mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.

The present work describes the extraction of a polyprenylated benzophenone-rich extract from Brazilian red propolis (ERPB), the development and validation of an RP-HPLC-UV method to characterize it, and its evaluation against breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, as well as the normal counterpart MCF-10 A. A mixture of gutifferone E and xanthochymol (1+2), and isolated oblongifolin B (3) were used as chemical standards for ERPB and were also evaluated. The concentrations of 1+2 and 3 corresponded to 16.

Article Synopsis
- Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a harmful toxin associated with pufferfish poisoning, predominantly in East and Southeast Asia, and traditional detection methods have limitations.
- Researchers developed a new analytical method for TTX using pre-column derivatization with a compound called NBD-H-DAB and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP HPLC) for quicker assessments.
- The new method showed effective sensitivity, achieving a detection limit of 0.06 mg/kg in fish samples, demonstrating the potential for improved TTX analysis.
