Current analytical approaches face limitations including lengthy analysis times, substantial solvent consumption, and high operational costs. This study presents a novel spectrofluorimetric method coupled with genetic algorithm-enhanced partial least squares (GA-PLS) regression for simultaneous quantification of amlodipine and aspirin in pharmaceutical formulations and biological plasma samples. Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy at Δλ = 100 nm in 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate-ethanolic medium enhanced spectral characteristics, while chemometric approaches were essential to address remaining spectral overlap for accurate quantification. The GA-PLS approach demonstrated superior performance over conventional partial least squares regression, achieving relative root mean square errors of prediction (RRMSEP) of 0.93 and 1.24 for amlodipine and aspirin respectively, with limits of detection of 22.05 and 15.15 ng/mL. Genetic algorithm optimization reduced spectral variables to approximately 10% of the original dataset while maintaining optimal model performance with only two latent variables. Method validation according to ICH Q2(R2) guidelines demonstrated excellent accuracy (98.62–101.90% recovery) and precision (RSD < 2%) across the analytical range of 200–800 ng/mL. Statistical comparison with established HPLC reference methods showed no significant differences, while application in human plasma achieved recoveries of 95.58-104.51% with coefficient of variation below 5%. Multi-dimensional sustainability assessment using the MA Tool and RGB12 whiteness evaluation achieved an overall score of 91.2%, demonstrating clear superiority over conventional HPLC-UV (83.0%) and LC-MS/MS (69.2%) methods across environmental, analytical, and practical dimensions.

This study also presented a physicochemical investigation of the adsorption mechanism of reactive orange 16 (RO16) dye and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) ions on chitosan-lignin biocomposite, using both experimental adsorption data and theoretical modeling based on statistical physics theory to elucidate the underlying interactions. An advanced statistical physics adsorption model, namely heterogeneous monolayer model with two functional groups (HMLM2FG), was employed to simulate the adsorption behavior, indicating that RO16 and Cr(VI) interacted with two distinct functional groups on the chitosan + 50% lignin surface. This model enabled detailed stereographic and energetic studies of the tested adsorption systems. Hence, stereographic analysis revealed that the studied adsorbent functional groups preferentially capture the attached species with <i>n</i> > 1 at specific temperatures, suggesting a multi-ionic mechanism with significant aggregation. The total maximum adsorbed quantities of chitosan-lignin adsorbent, determined by the proposed model HMLM2FG, were found to be 59.43–79.76 mg/g for RO16 and 52.06–72.61 mg/g for Cr(VI).

The phosphorylation of nucleosides to generate nucleotides occurs in complex prebiotic environments, where metal ions played a pivotal role, particularly in the metal-rich ancient oceans. Investigating the impact of prebiotic metal ions on nucleotide formation is critical to understanding their contributions to chemical evolution. Herein, we examined adenosine phosphorylation in the presence of various metal ions (Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Mg²⁺) under wet-dry cycling conditions. The results reveal that these systems can produce 5’-AMP, 2’/3’-AMP, 2’,3’-cAMP, ADP, ATP, c-di-AMP, and the oligomeric nucleotide pApA. The yields of these nucleotides varied depending on the metal ions present and were lower than in the metal-free system. The concentrations and combinations of metal ions in a solution markedly impact the levels of nucleotides. Notably, 5’-AMP emerged as the dominant product, exhibiting high 5’-regioselectivity, strongly supporting the RNA world hypothesis. Moreover, Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ enhanced nucleotide cyclization, while iron proved crucial for oligonucleotide formation. Intriguingly, hydrolysis experiments revealed nucleotides interconversion. Furthermore, metal accelerated hydrolysis of nucleotides compared to the metal-free system, directly impacting the efficiency and final yield of nucleoside phosphorylation. These findings underscore the multifaced role of metal ions in regulating phosphorylation, facilitating hydrolysis, and promoting nucleotides interconversion, thereby advancing our understanding of prebiotic chemical evolution and providing empirical support for environments rich in metals, as plausible settings for the emergence of primordial RNA-based life.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":496,"journal":{"name":"BMC Chemistry","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://bmcchem.biomedcentral.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s13065-025-01619-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144923292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
