So, the two drugs are co-administered together in the treatment protocol for psoriasis. No chromatographic analytical method was developed in the literature for the quantitative determination of SUL and PTN in their binary mixture and spiked human plasma. So, this work's goal is to establish an environmentally friendly and selective TLC method for quantitative assay of sulfasalazine and pentoxifylline in their common mixture and spiked human plasma samples. The separation was successfully obtained using a developing system consisting of ethanol: ethyl acetate (7: 3, v/v) and 270 nm as UV scanning wavelength. Paracetamol was chosen as an internal standard to correct sampling minute variations. The obtained retardation factor values were 0.02, 0.43, 0.68 and 0.8 for plasma, pentoxifylline, sulfasalazine and paracetamol, in the same order. The resulting LLOQ for SUL and PTN were 0.3 and 0.2 µg/band, respectively. Three environmental friendliness assessment tools including analytical greenness metric approach (AGREE), eco-scale assessments, and green analytical procedure index (GAPI) were applied to evaluate the environmental safety characters of the suggested method.

The methanol extract exhibited strong activity on DPPH radical scavenging, FRAP and CUPRAC assays, (0.023 mg/mL, 1.02 µmol trolox/mg dry ext, and 5.53 µmol trolox/mg dry ext, respectively). The antidiabetic activity was evaluated on α-glucosidase and α-amylase. The extract showed considerable activity on α-glucosidase (98.64% inhibition at 100 µg/mL). The anticancer potential of extract was evaluated using MCF-7 (ER + breast) cell line. The extract significantly decreased cell viability in MCF-7 cell line at a concentration of 3.2 µg/mL. In parallel to the biological activity tests, phytochemical composition of the extract was also studied. In addition to the qualitative chromatographic analysis, quantification of eight individual compounds was also determined in the extract.

Pyrazine-pyridone analogues 5a-d were obtained by reacting compound 3 with substituted 2-(arylidene)malononitriles (4a-d). Substituted pyrazine-thiazoles (8 and 9) were synthesized by condensation with phenyl isothiocyanate, followed by cyclization using ethyl bromoacetate or chloroacetone. Pyrazine-chromenes (14, 15) and pyrazine-naphthoxazines (16, 17) were prepared by reacting salicylaldehyde and naphthol derivatives.
