As-prepared nanoadsorbent was successfully in magnetic solid phase extraction set-up with no hazardous solvents and extraction performed in 6 min. The structure of nanoadsorbnet is lamellar, providing a wide surface to extract the analytes. The quantification of the analytes was accomplished using the liquid chromatography-tandem mass (LC/MS-MS) technique. Under optimum extraction conditions, the linearity ranged from 4 to 1000 ng/mL (vitamin B1) and 20 to 1000 ng/mL (vitamin B6), and the correlation of coefficients (R2) was obtained better than 0.99. The intra-day (n = 3) and inter-day precisions (n = 3 working days) calculated in the form of percent relative standard deviations (%RSDs) were obtained below 10.20%.

This study aimed to investigate the anti-dementia effects of two drugs alone and in combination by monitoring the distribution patterns of their active components in different biological matrices. A practical analytical method was developed for simultaneously quantifying 38 active compounds in different matrices at trace levels using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple-quadrupole linear ion-trap tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS2). Under optimized conditions, good chromatographic separation of the 38 target compounds was achieved within 14 min, with acceptable linearity, limits of detections and quantifications, precision, stability, and extraction recovery and matrix effects. The developed analytical method quantified the 38 active components in the brain, plasma, intestine, and intestinal contents of AD mice treated with GT alone, donepezil alone, and a combination of the two drugs. The result showed that the combination group had enhanced anti-dementia active compounds and reduced levels of toxic compounds entering the targeted tissues. These findings support the combined use of GT and donepezil for increasing anti-dementia treatment efficiency and reducing toxicity. The proposed UHPLC-MS2 strategy could be used to monitor the levels of active compounds from different biological matrices in future studies.

One way to avoid such a problem is to create an adequate, economical, and competitive analytical system. As a result, the study’s goal is to create a High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HP-TLC) method for determining capecitabine (CAP) and thymoquinone (TQ) simultaneously. To the best of our knowledge, no such method for determining CAP and TQ simultaneously exists today. The method was created by implementing an analytical quality-by-design approach based on the Box–Behnken design (BBD) to optimize the chromatographic conditions and a combination of factors such as toluene volume (A), solvent front (B), and chamber saturation time (C), all of which were likely to affect the R f of CAP and TQ, respectively, later validated using TLC-silica coated plate 60 F254. The validated parameters were within an acceptable range, according to ICH guidelines. BBD design revealed that the volume of toluene and solvent front had a greater effect on all of the responses studied and thus needs to be controlled. The developed method of the analysis was found to be facile, dependable, expeditious, cost-effective, and could be used to quantify CAP and TQ in Nanoformulation. Graphical Abstract RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS To determine both the drugs in nanoformulation, an accelerated and expeditious densiometric HP-TLC method was developed and validated. Particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency (EE), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis were all performed on the prepared nanoformulation. According to ICH guidelines, the developed method has been tested for linearity, range, detection limit, quantification limit, precision, and robustness. A review of the literature reveals that there are several methods for determining CAP and TQ individually but no HP-TLC method has been reported for simultaneous estimation of CAP and TQ in the combined dosage form. Changes in mobile phase volume and changes in chamber saturation duration showed percent RSD-within the 2% criterion, confirming the robustness of the developed method.","PeriodicalId":16295,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Liquid Chromatography & Related Technologies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41770517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aforementioned medications were separated and quantified with the help of experimental design. The Box-Behnken design was used in the experiment to optimize the chromatographic method’s analytical parameters. It employed RP-HPLC with a UV detector. An INERTSIL ODS-3 C18 column (5 µm, 250 × 4.6 mm) with mobile phase composed of acetonitrile: 30 mmoL potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH = 7.5) (50:50, v/v), at room temperature was employed to separate the aforementioned drugs. Paracetamol was linear over the concentration range (1–50 µg/mL), Moxifloxacin (5–70 µg/mL), Apixaban (5–70 µg/mL), Dexamethasone (1–100 µg/mL), and Remdesivir (5–100 µg/mL). According to ICH guidelines, the new approach underwent thorough validation. Between the proposed method’s results and those from the reference or reported methods, there was no significant difference.

Xiaoyao Powder, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine is commonly used to treat depression. However, its therapeutic mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, a rat depression model was established by the application of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). The depressed rats were randomly distributed to four groups: Blank Control, CUMS control, CUMS with Venlafaxine (a positive control) treatment, and CUMS with Xiaoyao Powder treatment, with 12 rats in each group. Depression behavioral and exercise tests were performed weekly during the four-week intervention. Stable isotope tracer metabolomics and molecular biology techniques were utilized to determine the changes in serum metabolites pre and post the intervention period, aiming to elucidate the mechanism of Xiaoyao Powder in improving the depression symptoms and exercise capacity of the depressed rats. The results found that the Xiaoyao Powder treatment significantly improved the performance in the behavioral and exercise tests, as well as affected the levels of metabolites, such as pyruvic acid, lactic acid, and citric acid in serum. It was concluded that Xiaoyao Powder intervention had a significant effect on the pyruvic acid metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and tricarboxylic acid cycle in the serum of the depressed rats, which could contribute to the understanding of the mechanism of the intervention.

The drug showed significant degradation in acidic and alkaline conditions while slight degradation was observed in water and oxidative conditions. The drug was found to be stable in photolytic and thermal conditions. The characterization of four major degradation products (DP1, DP2, DP3, and DP4) was done with LC–Q-TOF-MS/MS in combination with accurate mass measurements.
