Critical method parameters, including organic phase composition, flow rate, and mobile phase pH, were identified through a comprehensive risk assessment and subsequently optimized using a Box-Behnken design. The final chromatographic conditions—50 % organic phase composition, a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min, and a mobile phase pH of 2.6—ensured efficient separation and quantification of all four analytes. The method was validated in accordance with ICH guidelines, demonstrating excellent linearity (r² > 0.999), high accuracy, and precision, with low relative standard deviation values. Stability studies conducted under different stress conditions revealed significant degradation of all four compounds in acidic, alkaline, and oxidative environments. Degradation products were further characterized using LC-MS/MS analysis, confirming their structural identity. In addition to its analytical performance, the method's environmental sustainability was evaluated using multiple green analytical chemistry assessment tools.

Colchicine, known for its pharmacological applications for the treatment of gout and cancer, was extracted using ultrasonic-assisted extraction, a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional methods like Soxhlet and solid-liquid extraction. High-performance liquid chromatography was used for the quantification of colchicine levels in the plant samples. The method was validated in terms of linear dynamic range, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ) and relative standard deviation (RSD). Results showed that LOD, LOQ and RSD values were determined to be 0.210 ppm, 0.799 ppm and 1.420, respectively. <em>C. baytopiorum</em> had a higher colchicine content (206.24 ± 87.48 ppm) compared to <em>C. decaisnei</em> (11.23 ± 23.04 ppm). These findings are consistent with previous studies, which report varying colchicine concentrations across different Colchicum species.

These microemulsions are dispersions of two immiscible liquids, typically oil and water, made compatible by an amphiphilic substance that interacts with both polar and nonpolar fractions. After SFME testing and critical analysis of the results, clear and homogeneous microemulsions were observed regardless of the oil-to-water ratio studied, provided that sufficient quantities of 1-octanol:1-propanol (3:10 v/v) were added. Based on the established robust working range, the 1:2 (oil:ultrapure water) ratio (% w/w) was chosen as the compromise condition, minimizing medicinal oil use while ensuring compatibility with the chromatographic system.

Both antibiotics are commonly used to treat humans separately while their mixture is used in veterinary preparations (SPE-LIN), and the combination of these antibiotics has not yet been used for human treatment. The aim of this study was to search for modulators of human serum albumin (HSA) antioxidant activity among antibacterial drugs, lincomycin (LIN) and spectinomycin (SPE). In order to study the effect of LIN and SPE on HSA antioxidant properties the DPPH and ABTS tests were used. UV-Vis spectrophotometry and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic techniques were used to find the cause of LIN and SPE modulatory activity related to HSA antiradical potential. Both LIN and SPE, as well as their mixture, did not show significant antioxidant activity, while in combination with HSA, they stimulated its antioxidant properties. CD measurements determined that the dominant secondary structure of HSA, regardless of the presence of ligands, was α-helix, and its percentage share slightly increased under the influence of LIN and SPE. The obtained results confirm the viability of further studies on the potential application of the combination of SPE-LIN in the treatment, not only in breeding animals.

While RT-qPCR remains the gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 detection, it is expensive and requires specialized equipment. Antigen-based tests, though faster, lack sufficient sensitivity. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a platform that combines the rapidity of antigen tests with the sensitivity of molecular tests. In this work, we address this problem by developing a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) biosensor for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins. We designed a QCM biosensor with polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based surface functionalization, which significantly improves sensitivity and specificity. The platform achieved a detection limit of 53.3 TCID<sub>50</sub>/mL and a sensitivity of 0.263 Hz/ TCID<sub>50</sub>/mL, with results available in approximately 15 min. Cross-reactivity tests with Influenza A demonstrated its high specificity for SARS-CoV-2. Comprehensive surface characterization using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Digital Holographic Microscopy, and Raman Spectroscopy confirmed the stability and integrity of the functionalized sensor surface. The platform is cost-effective, scalable, and designed for ease of use in resource-limited settings.
