Two methods are described for the simultaneous determination of enalapril maleate and hydrochlorothiazide in combined pharmaceutical tablets. The first method depends on first-derivative ultraviolet spectrophotometry, with zero-crossing and peak-to-base measurement methods. The first-derivative amplitudes at 224 and 260 nm were selected for the assay of enalapril maleate and hydrochlorothiazide, respectively. The second method is based on high-performance liquid chromatography on a reversed-phase column using a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (20:80, v/v) (pH 3.8) with programmable detection at 215 and 275 nm. Both methods showed good linearity, precision and reproducibility. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the determination of these drugs in laboratory-prepared mixtures and in commercial tablets.

Remimazolam (Byfavo, Acacia Pharma), a recent Food and Drug Administration-approved ester-linked benzodiazepine, offers advantages in sedation, such as rapid onset and predictable duration, making it suitable for broad anesthesia applications. Its favorable pharmacological profile is primarily attributed to rapid hydrolysis, the primary metabolism pathway for its deactivation. Thus, understanding remimazolam hydrolysis determinants is essential for optimizing its clinical use.

Background: Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder resulting from variants in genes coding for the alpha-3/4/5 chains of Collagen IV, leading to defective basement membranes in the kidney, cochlea, and eye. The clinical manifestations of AS vary in patients. Cases of childhood AS caused by presenting primarily with nephrotic syndrome (NS) are rarely reported.

The hypertension patient population has doubled since 1990, affecting 1.3 billion globally and >75% live in low-and middle-income countries. Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEI) and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) are the most prescribed drugs (>160 million times in the US), but mortality increased >30% since 1990s globally.

This systematic review provides a comprehensive comparison of beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in the management of chronic heart failure (CHF), with a focus on their long-term efficacy and safety profiles. By synthesizing evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical studies, the review highlights the significant benefits of both drug classes in reducing mortality and hospital readmissions, and improving patient outcomes. Beta-blockers, such as bisoprolol and carvedilol, demonstrated superior efficacy in reducing sudden cardiac death, particularly in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
