Abstract
Background: Rifampicin (RIF) is the main treatment for tuberculous meningitis (TBM), but its limited penetration across the blood-brain barrier significantly reduces its therapeutic efficacy. To address this limitation, smart-pH nanoparticles were designed to release RIF in inflamed area and incorperated into a thermosensitive in situ gel for enhanced drug delivery via the olfactory nerve.
Methods: UV-Vis spectrophotometry and colorimetric methods to quantify RIF in various media and biological matrices, including phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4 and 5.0, plasma, and brain tissue. The main validation parameters assessed were selectivity, specificity, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), accuracy, precision, extraction recovery, and dilution integrity.
Result: Method validation followed International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, demonstrating excellent linearity (r2 = 0.999) and lower limit detection (LOD) of approximately 0,25-0.49 μg/mL were achieved in all media. The method demonstrated high accuracy (%RE -11.62% to 14.88%) and precision (%RSD 2.06% to 13.29%), meeting regulatory requirements.
Conclusion: This validated approach enables reliable RIF quantification in biological samples, supporting its application in in vitro release studies, ex vivo permeability studies, and in vivo pharmacokinetic evaluations. These findings contribute to the advancement of targeted drug delivery systems for TBM treatment.

期刊介绍:
Reliable data obtained from selective, sensitive and reproducible analysis of xenobiotics and biotics in biological samples is a fundamental and crucial part of every successful drug development program. The same principles can also apply to many other areas of research such as forensic science, toxicology and sports doping testing.
The bioanalytical field incorporates sophisticated techniques linking sample preparation and advanced separations with MS and NMR detection systems, automation and robotics. Standards set by regulatory bodies regarding method development and validation increasingly define the boundaries between speed and quality.
Bioanalysis is a progressive discipline for which the future holds many exciting opportunities to further reduce sample volumes, analysis cost and environmental impact, as well as to improve sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, efficiency, assay throughput, data quality, data handling and processing.
The journal Bioanalysis focuses on the techniques and methods used for the detection or quantitative study of analytes in human or animal biological samples. Bioanalysis encourages the submission of articles describing forward-looking applications, including biosensors, microfluidics, miniaturized analytical devices, and new hyphenated and multi-dimensional techniques.
Bioanalysis delivers essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative but accessible forum for the modern bioanalyst.
