The combination of the BiPr composite oxide nanowires with polyaniline (PAn) can promote the electro-catalytic performance towards L-cysteine because PAn can facilitate the electro-catalytic process by enhancing the charge transfer. Methods: PAn/BiPr composite oxide nanowires were obtained via low temperature one-step hydrothermal route. The obtained composite oxide nanowires were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and electrochemical methods. Results: Characterization results indicate that amorphous PAn nanoparticles with a size of about 50 nm are homogeneously dispersed at the surface of the BiPr composite oxide nanowires. PAn/BiPr composite oxide nanowire-modified electrode shows an enhanced L-cysteine electro-catalytic activity. PAn promotes electro-catalytic activity of the BiPr composite oxide nanowires. A pair of quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetry (CV) peaks exist at +0.49 V, -0.19 V, respectively. PAn/BiPr composite oxide nanowire modified electrode possesses a linear response in L-cysteine concentration of 0.001-2 mM and detection limit of 0.095 μM, good repeatability, and stability. Conclusion: PAn/BiPr composite oxide nanowires act as effective electro-catalysts for L-cysteine oxidation resulting in the enhancement of the electro-catalytic activity relative to BiPr composite oxide nanowires.","PeriodicalId":10889,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmaceutical Analysis","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142223944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been demonstrated that serotonin (5-HT) has a pharmacological role in a variety of anxiety- and mood-related conditions. Fluvoxamine, citalopram, escitalopram, paroxetine, sertraline, and fluoxetine are the six primary SSRIs now available in the United States for the treatment of depression and anxiety or mood-related disorders. Despite having a different chemical structure, these compounds function in an analogous fashion. The main mechanism by which SSRIs work is by preventing serotonin from being reabsorbed presynaptically at the serotonin transporter, which raises serotonin at the postsynaptic membrane, which is found in the serotonergic synapse. In order to ensure the effectiveness, safety, and quality control of SSRIs in pharmaceutical formulations, it is crucial to quantify them precisely. The present article provides an overview of the main analytical techniques developed to evaluate SSRIs in different matrices. It covers both conventional and hyphenated approaches and concentrates on the analytical methodologies developed to quantify SSRIs. It offers a general overview of the methods that have been developed and standardized for the evaluation of SSRIs in drug formulations and various matrices. It focuses on the major components of SSRI analysis, such as the solvents used for analysis, chromatographic column selections, detection wavelength, and validation parameters. It also discusses various validation parameters, such as accuracy, precision, retention duration, maximum absorbance wavelength (λmax), range, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ).","PeriodicalId":10889,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmaceutical Analysis","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141942542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is well-known that analytical techniques play an imperative role in identifying and characterizing active pharmaceutical ingredients in biological samples and drug formulations. Moreover, precise drug assessment directly influences safety, stability, and efficacy while providing in-depth insight into drug pharmacokinetics. Other than this, analytical techniques also aid in identifying impurities, deteriorated products, and potential pollutants. Thus, reliable analytical methods have become crucial for addressing challenges imposed by complex drug formulations. The most commonly used analytical technique is UV spectrophotometry, which does not have the high sensitivity to detect complex drug formulations. In contrast, Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) merges two analytical techniques, chromatography and mass spectrometry, to accurately quantify biological samples. Furthermore, Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) provides enhanced resolution, faster analysis in short duration, and low solvent consumption in contrast to HPLC. This comprehensive review aims to critically assess each analytical approach's accuracy, applicability, selectivity, and limitation to provide valuable insights for researchers and analysts. Understanding the weaknesses and strengths of these analytical techniques will enable the researchers to select the suitable analytical method based on their needs and requirements for quality assessment, precise drug quantification, and optimal therapeutic efficiency.

Aim: This study aimed to develop a reliable IVRT method using Franz diffusion cells. An environmentally friendly U-HPLC method was created to analyze Desonide in the samples. objective: This includes assessing Linearity, robustness, precision, sensitivity, reproducibility, selectivity, specificity, and recovery. In the context of In-vitro Release Testing (IVRT), the concept of accuracy becomes irrelevant because there isn&#039;t a definitive &quot;actual&quot; release rate. This is due to the variability in API release rates for a specific semisolid formulation under different test conditions Objective: To evaluate the drug release in Desonide products in accordance with SUPAC guidance, quantify the drug concentration using an analytical method, as per bioanalytical method validation guidelines, and ensure that the results meet the acceptance criteria. Linearity was established from 0.50μg/mL to 40μg/mL with acceptable regression values. Precision was confirmed three times, with an average % RSD of below 15% for 3 sets of 6QC level sample preparations. Stability tests demonstrated Desonide stability in receptor fluid (LLOQ and ULOQ) for 72 hours at 2-8°C and 25°C. Autosampler stability at LQC and HQC levels was proven at 25°C for 72 hours. Additionally, the stock solution remained stable at both 25°C and 2-8°C for 72 hours. Methods: The study involved evaluating the dosing regimen, release medium, and membrane while optimizing the U-HPLC method based on three variables including column temperature, mobile phase composition, and flow rate. After experimentation, it was determined that Nylon membrane and 0.9% NaCl: Methanol release media (70:30 v/v) with 1000 mg dose were used to maximize the release profile of desonide. Results: The created explanatory strategy is precise, delicate, and exact for measuring Desonide, with satisfactory Limits of Location LOD and Lower Limits of Measurement LLOQ measured at 0.15 and 0.50 ng /mL, respectively. The Regression coefficient r2 was identified to be 0.9996. The degree of Desonide measurement lessening was considered palatable, basically since the recuperation was underneath 30.00, additionally due to the favourable linear relationship watched within the Desonide discharge rates amid the IVRT study.
