Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are commonly used in pharmaceutical applications as excellent solubilizers of active substances. This study investigated the tuning of ibuprofen and ketoprofen solubility utilizing DESs containing choline chloride or betaine as hydrogen bond acceptors and various polyols (ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, glycerol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol) as hydrogen bond donors. Experimental solubility data were collected for all DES systems. A machine learning model was developed using COSMO-RS molecular descriptors to predict solubility. All studied DESs exhibited a cosolvency effect, increasing drug solubility at modest concentrations of water. The model accurately predicted solubility for ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and related analogs (flurbiprofen, felbinac, phenylacetic acid, diphenylacetic acid). A machine learning approach utilizing COSMO-RS descriptors enables the rational design and solubility prediction of DES formulations for improved pharmaceutical applications.

A new sample preparation and determination method, including HPLC-DAD analysis after Magnetic Solid Phase Extraction (MSPE), was developed to monitor the trace amounts of two types of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Ibuprofen (IBP) and Ketoprofen (KP). In the proposed method, IBP and KP analytes were extracted from newly synthesized magnetic-based sorbent in a pH 4.0 buffer medium and enriched by desorbing again with ethanol to a smaller volume before chromatographic determinations.

Investigating the presence, distribution and risk of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in wastewater treatment plants, river sediments and fish.

Unit of Persistent Organic Pollutants and Emerging Pollutants in Environment, Department of Environment, CIEMAT, Avda. Complutense 40, 28040, Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:

The increasing consumption of medicines and the lack of efficient technologies in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can release pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) into any given river with the subsequent risk to the environment and human health. To assess the occurrence and transfer pathways of PhACs through the river ecosystem, 22 PhACs and one metabolite were analyzed in WWTPs, river sediments and fish collected alongside the Tagus River basin between 2020 and 2022. All the matrices presented at least two drugs being azithromycin the only one quantified in all of them.

This review presents a comprehensive analysis of current research on biological treatment processes for removing pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) from wastewater. Unlike previous studies on this topic, our study specifically delves into the effectiveness and drawbacks of various treatment approaches such as traditional wastewater treatment facilities (WWTP), membrane bioreactors (MBRs), constructed wetlands (CW), and moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR). Through the examination and synthesis of information gathered from more than 200 research studies, we have created a comprehensive database that delves into the effectiveness of eliminating 19 particular PhCs, including commonly studied compounds such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen, ketoprofen, indomethacin, salicylic acid, codeine, and fenoprofen, amoxicillin, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, tetracycline, atenolol, propranolol, and metoprolol.

Article Synopsis
  • Constructed wetlands (CWs) are being explored for their ability to treat wastewater by removing both traditional pollutants and emerging ones like pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs).
  • A meta-analysis highlights the link between the biodegradation of these PPCPs and the release of greenhouse gases (GHG), showing that key factors like PPCP concentration, carbon load, and temperature significantly influence both removal efficiency and GHG emissions.
  • The study stresses the importance of optimizing CW design and operations, aiming for a balance that improves PPCP removal while reducing GHG emissions, ultimately promoting more sustainable water management practices.

Ligand-human serum albumin analysis: the near-UV CD and UV-Vis spectroscopic studies.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol

Department of Physical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Sosnowiec, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, 40-055, Katowice, Poland.

Spectroscopic methods offer many new opportunities to study protein-ligand interactions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using near-UV CD as well as UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques to study the interaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and markers of Sudlow's site I (warfarin, phenylbutazone) and II (ketoprofen, ibuprofen), as well as prednisolone and indapamide. In order to perform the planned measurements, near-UV CD spectropolarimetry and UV-Vis spectrophotometry have been used.
