The proposed method is based on coloured hydrazone formation with 1,4-dihydrazinophthalazine as a reagent. Heating at 85 degrees C for 2 h was found necessary to ensure optimal hydrazone formation in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The yellow hydrazone product has an absorption maximum at 380 nm. A linear relationship between absorbance and concentration was established in the concentration range 3.19 x 10(-6) -3.19 x 10(-5) mol l-1 (the regression equation was y = 0.013 167 3 + 0.019 025 9x; correlation coefficient r = 0.9991; n = 6). The detection limit was 1.2 micrograms ml-1 (molar absorptivity found was 1.97 x 10(4) l mol-1 cm-1). The reliability of the proposed method was checked at three different concentrations; the relative standard deviation (RSD) varied from 1.03 to 2.01%. The described method applied to the determination of desoximetasone in ointment gave precise and reproducible results; the recovery was 98.55% with RSD = 2.40% (n = 10).

Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a prevalent condition in adults, significantly affecting the global elderly population, with a higher incidence in women than in men. The modulation of gene expression through microRNA (miRNA) partly regulated the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Previous research identified a functional analysis of seven genes (CDS2, HDAC5, PPP6R2, PRRC2B, TBC1D22A, WNK1, and PABPC3) as targets of miRNAs related to CVD.

The administration of therapeutic drugs through dermal routes, such as creams and ointments, has emerged as an increasingly popular alternative to traditional delivery methods, such as tablets and injections. In the context of drug development, it is crucial to identify the optimal doses and delivery routes that ensure successful outcomes. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models have been proposed to simulate drug delivery and optimize drug formulations, but the calibration of these models is challenging due to the multitude of variables involved and limited experimental data.

Over the last decade, applications of ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) have exploded due primarily to the widespread commercialization of robust instrumentation from several vendors. Unfortunately, the modest resolving power of many of these platforms (~40-60) has precluded routine separation of constitutional and stereochemical isomers. While instrumentation advances have pushed resolving power to >150 in some cases, chemical approaches offer an alternative for increasing resolution with existing IM-MS instrumentation.

Objectives: Desoximetasone (DMS) is a widely recommended drug for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis. However, low water solubility and short half life of DMS present major obstacles in the development of an effective topical formulation. Thus, there is a demand for the development of a safe and effective topical system to deliver hydrophobic DMS.

Background: SARS-CoV2, the agent responsible for the current pandemic, is also causing respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), hyperinflammation and high mortality. It is critical to dissect the pathogenetic mechanisms in order to reach a targeted therapeutic approach.
Methods: In the present investigation, we evaluated the effects of SARS-CoV on human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC).
