Colistimethate (CMS), the prodrug of polymyxin E (colistin), is an antibiotic widely used as a last-line therapy against multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria, but little is known about its pharmacokinetics as its administration has stopped as a result of high neuro- and nephro-toxicity. The measurement of CMS levels in patients' biological fluids is of great importance in order to find the optimal dose regimen reducing the drug toxicity. Until now, CMS assay methods are based on the indirect determination after its hydrolysis to colistin (CS). Herein, the aim is to find the optimal conditions for the complete hydrolysis of CMS to CS. The reaction was studied at accelerated conditions: 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C, and the results were evaluated by assessing the Arrhenius equation and computation employing the Tenua software. A validated analytical methodology based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled to a hybrid quadrupole time of flight (QToF) instrument is developed for the simultaneous measurement of CMS and CS. The current methodology resulted in complete hydrolysis, in contrast with the previously reported one.

The development of copper-based materials with a high efficiency and low cost is desirable for use in iodine (I) remediation. Herein, Cu-nanoparticles-functionalized, ZIF-8 (Zeolite Imidazole Framework-8)-derived, nitrogen-doped carbon composites (Cu@Zn-NC) were synthesized by ball milling and pyrolysis processes. The as-prepared composites were characterized using SEM, BET, XRD, XPS, and FT-IR analyses.

A novel, sustainable time-temperature indicator (TTI) ink based on natural pigments is introduced for food freshness monitoring. The ink, composed of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), Clitoria ternatea anthocyanin, and N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI), was applied to art paper using screen printing. The inks were characterized through FT-IR, particle size analysis, and rheological measurements, with optimal performance achieved at Clitoria ternatea anthocyanin to NHPI ratios of 9:1 and 7:1.

The behavior of supercooled glass-forming metals depends on the cooperative atomic fluctuations caused by dynamic heterogeneities in the melt. These spatial and temporal heterogeneities form dynamic clusters, which are regions of cooperative rearrangement (CRR). In this study, the macroscopic kinetics and the correlation length , of the CRR, are derived for PtCuNiP and PdCuNiP metallic glass-formers by fast differential scanning calorimetry near the glass transition.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate capillary gel electrophoresis (SDS-CGE) is a frequently used analytical technique in size-based separation of proteins, playing a vital role in the biopharmaceutical industry for the analysis and characterization of therapeutic proteins, employing both UV and fluorescent detection. Understanding the effect of the operational parameters using easily applicable in migratio fluorescent labeling is increasingly critical, especially because multicapillary electrophoresis systems with fluorescent detection have recently gained prominence in high-throughput biopolymer analysis. In this study, the effects of the three most important user-adjustable operational parameters (temperature, gel concentration, and electric field strength) were investigated on the electrophoretic mobility and resolution of SDS-protein complexes in the presence of propidium iodide in the gel-buffer system.

The steady-state creep rate increases with working temperature according to the Arrhenius law and with applied stress according to the power law. The dependence on both the variables is usually expressed as the product of the Arrhenius law and the power law, where a constant value of the apparent activation energy is assumed. As the exponent of the power law, called the stress sensitivity parameter and dependent on the deformation micromechanism, a specific integer is taken.
