The open-access and code-free KNIME platform was used to develop a workflow to train the model on 80% of data (N ~ 12k). The hyperparameter values were optimized to achieve the highest predictive accuracy with nine different molecular fingerprints (MFPs), among which Avalon MFPs (referred to as RF-1) provided the best results. RF-1 displayed 91.7% accuracy, 93.5% precision, 88.4% sensitivity and 97.3% area under the Receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) for the remaining 20% test set. The predictive performance of RF-1 was comparable to that of the malaria inhibitor prediction platform (MAIP), a recently reported consensus model based on a large proprietary dataset. However, hits obtained from RF-1 and MAIP from a commercial library did not overlap, suggesting that these two models are complementary. Finally, RF-1 was used to screen small molecules under clinical investigations for repurposing. Six molecules were purchased, out of which two human kinase inhibitors were identified to have single-digit micromolar antiplasmodial activity.

Here an original ecofriendly and high pace method is introduced using 96- microwell spectrophotometric assay (MW-SPA) to measure SEL content in bulk and commercial pharmaceutical formulation (Koselugo^® capsules). This assay was relied on in-microwell formation of a coloured charge transfer complex (CTC) upon interaction of SEL with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ). The complex was fully characterized by spectrophotometric and computational studies. The CTC exhibited an absorbance maximum (λ_max) at 440 nm. The ease of reaction occurrence, complex stability and its high absorptivity were proved by measuring its association constant (0.63 × 10² L/ mol), standard free energy change (-10.31 KJ/mol), molar absorptivity (ε) (3.78 × 10³ L/mol/cm), and the SEL: DDQ stoichiometric ratio (1:1). Establishments of the optimum values of the applied conditions in 96-well assay plate were refined regarding DDQ concentration, reaction time, temperature, and solvents. Validation of the assay was according to the ICH guidelines. The assay was linear in SEL' concentrations ranged from 10 to 200 µg/well, with limits of detection and quantitation of 4.1 and 12.5 µg/well, respectively. Then, the assay was efficaciously adapted to accurately and precisely determine SEL content in bulk form and Koselugo^® capsules. The assay environmental safety was documented by three different comprehensive metric tools.

In this study, we present two methodologies for environmentally friendly chromatography that enable simultaneous and specific determination of Saxagliptin (SAX), metformin (MET), and a pharmacopoeial impurity of MET known as melamine (MEL). The initial method employed in this study is High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), which utilized 60 F 254 silica gel-coated Mark HPTLC plates on aluminum sheets as the stationary phase. The developing system was made up of a mix of ethyl acetate: methanol: ammonia: glacial acetic acid in a ratio of 6:4:1:0.3 (v/v/v/v). The analysis was performed at a wavelength of 215 nm. The second method employed in this study is ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). In this method, a C18 column was utilized for the separation process. The mobile phase was made up of a mix of methanol and 0.01 M sodium dodecyl sulfate, with a pH of 3.3 achieved by adding orthophosphoric acid. The ratio of methanol to sodium dodecyl sulfate in the mobile phase was 70:30 (v/v). The flow rate of the mobile phase was established at a rate of 1.5 mL/min. The peaks found and recorded are resolved at a wavelength of 215 nm. The three analytes under investigation were successfully separated and assessed using the recommended protocols.

It also poses significant environmental challenges as a primary pollutant in Mn-containing wastewater and hazardous materials. Effective monitoring and control of Mn²⁺ in these processes are vital for improving resource conversion efficiency and minimizing pollutant production. However, the direct determination of high concentrations of Mn²⁺ remains challenging due to rapid reactions, which impede improvements in cleaner industrial production. Traditional detection method like potassium periodate spectrophotometry (PPS) method is limited to low concentrations and involve complex processes that contribute to secondary pollution. In this study, we evaluated the performance of four alternative methods—External Standard Calibration (EC), Area Under the Curve (AUC), Standard Addition (SA), and Multi-Energy Calibration (MEC)—for determining high-concentration Mn²⁺. The study found that the weak absorption characteristic of aqueous Mn²⁺ due to spin-forbidden transitions is advantageous for direct determination at high concentrations in its original valence state. By optimizing the optical path and wavelength, concentrations up to 50 g/L were detected, surpassing the PPS upper limit by 5000 times. Among the methods, EC demonstrated superior accuracy and precision, with a performance rate of 98.07% and a relative standard deviation of less than 1%. The EC method’s minimal time consumption and cost-effectiveness make it suitable for automation and integration into industrial systems for continuous, real-time monitoring. This research offers valuable insights into high-concentration Mn²⁺ determination using spectrophotometry, highlighting the EC method’s potential for real-time monitoring and its adaptability for large-scale industrial operations.
