The reaction occurs in alkaline medium to activate the nucleophilic substitution reaction producing an orange-colored product measured spectrophometrically at λ<sub>max</sub> 472 nm. The variables affecting the reaction were carefully studied and the conditions were optimized. The kinetics of the reaction was investigated and its activation energy was found to be 0.262 cal/mol. Owing to its low activation energy, the reaction proceeded easily and was successfully used for simple and rapid assay of POX. The stoichiometry of the reaction was determined (1:1), and the reaction mechanism was suggested. To develop a high-throughput methodology used in quality control laboratory, a comparative study of the reaction using the conventional spectrophotometric versus microwell assay was applied. Under the optimum reaction conditions, the initial rate and fixed time methods were utilized for constructing the calibration graphs for determination of POX concentrations. The linear range was 10 - 120 μg/ml with good correlation coefficients (0.9987 - 0.9998). The LOD was 2.5 and 3.4 μg/ml for initial rate and fixed time methods, respectively. The intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision of the developed methods were satisfactory, where RSD was ≤3.94%. The present methods have been successfully applied to the determination of POX in its pharmaceutical tablets, and the percentage recovery values were 97.9% - 101.9%. Therefore, we strongly recommend the proposed methods for determination of POX in quality control laboratories.展开更多

At present, biotechnological analysis is a short branch in pharmaceutical analysis;however, bioanalysis is the basis and an important part of medicine. Biotechnological approaches can provide information on biological activity and even clinical efficacy and safety, which are important characteristics of drug quality. Because of their advantages in reflecting the overall biological effects or functions of drugs and providing visual and intuitive results, some biotechnological analysis methods have been gradually applied to pharmaceutical analysis from raw material to manufacturing and final product analysis,including DNA super-barcoding, DNA-based rapid detection, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, hyperspectral imaging combined with artificial intelligence, 3D biologically printed organoids,omics-based artificial intelligence, microfluidic chips, organ-on-a-chip, signal transduction pathwayrelated reporter gene assays, and the zebrafish thrombosis model. The applications of these emerging biotechniques in pharmaceutical analysis have been discussed in this review.展开更多

The variables affecting the reaction were carefully studied and the conditions were optimized. The kinetics of the reaction was investigated and its activation energy was found to be 0.262 cal/mol. Owing to its low activation energy, the reaction proceeded easily and was successfully used for simple and rapid assay of POX. The stoichiometry of the reaction was determined (1:1), and the reaction mechanism was suggested. To develop a high-throughput methodology used in quality control laboratory, a comparative study of the reaction using the conventional spectrophotometric versus microwell assay was applied. Under the optimum reaction conditions, the initial rate and fixed time methods were utilized for constructing the calibration graphs for determination of POX concentrations. The linear range was 10 - 120 μg/ml with good correlation coefficients (0.9987 - 0.9998). The LOD was 2.5 and 3.4 μg/ml for initial rate and fixed time methods, respectively. The intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision of the developed methods were satisfactory, where RSD was ≤3.94%. The present methods have been successfully applied to the determination of POX in its pharmaceutical tablets, and the percentage recovery values were 97.9% - 101.9%. Therefore, we strongly recommend the proposed methods for determination of POX in quality control laboratories.

文摘Antimicrobial resistance(AMR)has become a global health crisis in need of novel solutions.To this end,antibiotic combination therapies,which combine multiple antibiotics for treatment,have at-tracted significant attention as a potential approach for combating AMR.To facilitate advances in anti-biotic combination therapies,most notably in investigating antibiotic interactions and identifying synergistic antibiotic combinations however,there remains a need for automated high-throughput plat-forms that can create and examine antibiotic combinations on-demand,at scale,and with minimal reagent consumption.To address these challenges,we have developed a Robotic-Printed Combinatorial Droplet(RoboDrop)platform by integrating a programmable droplet microfuidic device that generates antibiotic combinations in nanoliter droplets in automation,a robotic arm that arranges the droplets in an array,and a camera that images the array of thousands of droplets in parallel.We further implement a resazurin-based bacterial viability assay to accelerate our antibiotic combination testing.As a demonstration,we use RoboDrop to corroborate two pairs of antibiotics with known interactions and subsequently identify a new synergistic combination of cefsulodin,penicillin,and oxacillin against a model E.coli strain.We therefore envision RoboDrop becoming a useful tool to efficiently identify new synergistic antibiotic combinations toward combating AMR.

文摘Objective To investigate the biotransformation of Tongmai formula(TMF) in incubated system of human intestinal flora(HIF). Methods The technique of ultra fast liquid chromatography with diode array detector and coupled with electrospray ionization ion trap time-of-flight multistage mass spectrometry(UFLC-DAD-ESIIT-TOFMSn) was adopted to determine the products of TMF biotransformed by HIF. Results Totally 66 constituents were detected and identified according to the accurate mass measurements(〈 5 ppm) and effective MSn fragment ions. Meanwhile, the potential biotransformational pathways of compounds in TMF transformed by HIF were firstly proposed. Desugarization, hydroxylation, and methylation were the major reactions in the biotransformation mechanism of TMF by HIF. Conclusion This study will be helpful to clarify the material basis of pharmacological activities from TMF in vivo.

文摘Fluorescence characteristics of complex system of rare earth terbium (Tb3+), norfloxacin, 1,10-phenanthroline(1,10-phen) and sur- factant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) had been studied by using fluorescence spectroscopy. In a buffer solution (pH=6.3), the fluorescence intensity of the norfloxacin-Tb3+ (NFLX-Tb3+) system had been remarkably enhanced by SDBS and 1,10-Phen. When excited at 335 nm, a good linear relationship between fluorescence intensity of NFLX-Tb3+ system and NFLX concentration was obtained in the range of 8× 10-8-4× 10-6 mol/L, and the linear equation was F=2× 10^8 CNFLX+22.7 with correlation coefficient of 0.9959. In addition, this method was compared with some previous literatures, the proposed method had relatively higher sensitivity and lower detect limit. The method was sim- ple, rapid, sensitive, practical and suitable for direct analysis of pharmaceutical preparation. It was successfully applied to determine the cap- sules, human serum and urine in real pharmaceutical samples.

文摘Pharmaceutical analysis is a discipline based on chemical, physical, biological, and information technologies. At present, biotechnological analysis is a short branch in pharmaceutical analysis;however, bioanalysis is the basis and an important part of medicine. Biotechnological approaches can provide information on biological activity and even clinical efficacy and safety, which are important characteristics of drug quality. Because of their advantages in reflecting the overall biological effects or functions of drugs and providing visual and intuitive results, some biotechnological analysis methods have been gradually applied to pharmaceutical analysis from raw material to manufacturing and final product analysis,including DNA super-barcoding, DNA-based rapid detection, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, hyperspectral imaging combined with artificial intelligence, 3D biologically printed organoids,omics-based artificial intelligence, microfluidic chips, organ-on-a-chip, signal transduction pathwayrelated reporter gene assays, and the zebrafish thrombosis model. The applications of these emerging biotechniques in pharmaceutical analysis have been discussed in this review.

文摘Accurate localization of central nervous system(CNS)drug distribution in the brain is quite challenging to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization(MALDI)mass spectrometry imaging(MSI),owing to the ionization competition/suppression of highly abundant endogenous biomolecules and MALDI matrix.Herein,we developed a highly efficient sample preparation technique,laser-assisted chemical transfer(LACT),to enhance the detection sensitivity of CNS drugs in brain tissues.A focused diode laser source transilluminated the tissue slide coated with α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid,an optimal matrix to highly absorb the laser radiation at 405 nm,and a very thin-layer chemical film mainly containing drug molecule was transferred to the acceptor glass slide.Subsequently,MALDI MSI was performed on the chemical film without additional sample treatment.One major advantage of LACT is to minimize ionization competition/suppression from the tissue itself by removing abundant endogenous lipid and protein components.The superior performance of LACT led to the successful visualization of regional distribution patterns of 16 CNS drugs in the mouse brain.Furthermore,the dynamic spatial changes of risperidone and its metabolite were visualized over a 24-h period.Also,the brain-to-plasma(B/P)ratio could be obtained according to MALDI MSI results,providing an alternative means to assess brain penetration in drug discovery.

文摘Rifaximin(RFX)is a broad-spectrum oral antibiotic with bactericidal actions against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.In the present work,a sensitive voltammetric assay for the RFX in pharmaceutical formulations is designed using nanostructured working electrodes.Surface functionalization with manganese dioxide(MnO_(2))/fullerene-C_(60) nanocomposite exhibited the highest electrochemical responses with a sharp oxidation peak at about 336 mV that was obtained using the differential pulse voltammetry(DPV).The cyclic voltammetry(CV)and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)were applied,while the electrode matrix composition including types of nanomaterials,electroanalytical parameters,and pH eff ect were optimized.To that end,using the DPV,high sensitivity was obtained from the linear calibration curve ranged from 0.8 to 31.5μg·mL^(-1) with the correlation coe fficient of 0.99,limit of detection of 0.76μg·mL^(-1) and limit of quantification of 2.31μg·mL^(-1) .Accordingly,the designed approach is off ering a potential applicability towards the RFX determination in pharmaceutical preparations and its quality control.
