In this work, a magnetic adsorption material based on metal-organic framework (Fe3O4@ZnAl-LDH@MIL-53(Al)) was synthesized and used as an adsorbent in the process of magnetic solid phase extraction. Then, a high-performance liquid chromatograph was used to quantitatively detect triazole fungicides in samples. In order to verify the successful preparation of the material, a series of characterization analyses were carried out. Besides, the key parameters that may affect the extraction efficiency have been optimized, and under optimal conditions the three triazole fungicides showed good linearity in the range of 10-1000 μg/L (R2 ≥ 0.9796); Limit of detections were ranged from 0.013 to 0.030 μg/mL. Finally, the established method was applied to the detection of triazole fungicides in four fresh juice samples. The results showed that the target analyte was not detected in all the test samples. By detecting the recoveries (73.3-104.3%) and coefficient variation (RSD ≤ 6.8%) of triazole fungicides in fortified samples, it proved that this established method meets the requirements of pesticide residue analysis and showed excellent application potential.

A direct and precise isocratic RP-HPLC method for simultaneous determination of silver sulfadiazine (SSD) and sodium hyaluronate (SH) in the presence of methyl (MP) and propyl parabens (PP) was developed and validated. Agilent chromatograph with X-Select C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm2, 5 μm) was used. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.05 M phosphate buffer (pH 5.0 to which added triethyl amine 0.5 ml/L), at a ratio 35: 65 v/v. Elution was used at flow rate of 1.0 mL/min at ambient temperature with UV detection at 205 nm. The retention times for SH, SSD, MP and PP were 1.49, 3.3, 6.7 and 19.5 min, respectively. The presented chromatographic method was fully validated in accordance with ICH requirements, it was valid over linearity ranges of (0.80-100.00 μg/mL) and (3.20-100.00 μg/mL) for SSD and SH, respectively. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve ranges and the sensitivity of the method, as the limits of detection and quantification for each active ingredient was also determined. The validated method was successfully applied for the quantification of SSD and SH in pharmaceutical cream formulation and the mean recovery % ± SD were 100.93 ± 0.985 and 100.05 ± 0.668 for SSD and SH; respectively, indicating satisfactory accuracy of the method.

A new stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of ibuprofen and famotidine degradation products in combined pharmaceutical products was developed and validated. The current aim of this study is to develop a rapid, accurate and robust analytical stability indicating impurity method that can separate ibuprofen, famotidine and their related impurities by using a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. A Zorbax SB-Phenyl column (4.6 × 150 mm2, 5-μm particle size) with mobile phase containing phosphate buffer solution with a pH value of 3.0 and acetonitrile was used. The flow rate was 0.8 mL/min and the analytes were detected by UV detector at 265 nm. The retention times of ibuprofen and famotidine were 18.43 and 5.14 min, respectively. This method was validated to confirm specificity, linearity, sensitivity (limit of detection and limit of quantitation), precision, accuracy, robustness and sample stability according to the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. Studies have been completed and reported with two active substances in the combined dosage form and seven impurities in total. There is no method in the literature that simultaneously distinguishes and quantitatively analyzes both active substances and degradation products.

The current treatment protocol for drug-sensitive tuberculosis involves all four first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs: rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol hydrochloride in a single tablet, known as fixed-dose combination tablets. However, the analytical methods are scanty to test all these drugs simultaneously in a single run without any pre-sample process or using a simple method suitable for resource-limited settings. In this method, 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer containing 0.2% triethylamine (without pH adjustment) added with acetonitrile (98:2, v/v) was served as mobile phase A, while mobile phase B was 100% acetonitrile. All four drugs were separated within 10.3 min using a gradient mobile phase program in a C18 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm; 5 μm) and detected at two ultraviolet wavelengths (238 nm for rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide, and 210 nm for ethambutol hydrochloride). The method was selective, sensitive and linear with a correlation coefficient >0.999 with the acceptable precision and accuracy (<2% relative standard deviation) for all four drugs. In conclusion, the method is simple and it does not require any pH adjustment of the buffer/mobile phase, and within 11 min, the separation of all four drugs can be achieved. Overall, the method is suitable for quality testing of fixed-dose combination tablets in limited-resource settings.

Ayurveda emphasizes the propagation of nature in maintaining health. In the present scenario, we have seen the faith of people in herbal drugs during the Covid 19 outbreak. The raises in the number of peoples have been using herbal drugs to boost immunity against infectious diseases shows the popularity of this ancient system of medicine. The standardization of Ayush Kvatha Churna (AKC), work set out to establish a straightforward, accurate and sensitive HPTLC method for the identification and quantification of marker compounds. The Rosmarinic acid, trans-Cinnamaldehyde and Piperine were used for the estimation of markers in Ayush Kvatha Churna by using HPTLC with a solvent system, consisting of Toluene: Ethyl acetate: Ethyl alcohol: Formic acid (5.6:2.4:2: 0.3 v/v/v/v). The Rf value 0.33 for Rosmarinic Acid, 0.69 for Piperine and 0.77 for trans-Cinnamaldehyde was observed and it is exactly complying with the corresponding bands in Ayush Kvatha Churna. The technique has been effectively verified and validated, enabling it to be used for the standardization or quantitative analysis of Rosmarinic acid, trans-Cinnamaldehyde and piperine in Ayush Kvatha Churna.

Glycyrrhiza glabra is commonly known as licorice. Licorice is the major source of glycyrrhizin. There is no reported stability indicating method for glycyrrhizin in the literature so far. Therefore, it was proposed to develop a stability indicating method and validate the method for glycyrrhizin and its application in G. glabra root extract. Method validation parameters were performed as per the International Council for Harmonization guidelines. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Zorbax Extended C-18 (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column. The separation achieved using the mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile in gradient elution. The flow rate was kept at 1 mL/min, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy detection was at 250 nm. The average retention time of glycyrrhizin was found to be 7.30 min. Stress degradation studies were performed and confirmed that only acidic degradation has shown a degradation profile of glycyrrhizin up to 40%. The percentage of glycyrrhizin was found to be 0.40% in the G. glabra extract. This may be further explored for commercial applications.
