: Bioanalytical method development for Tenofovir (TFR) as an antiretroviral drug by LCMS Technique. A developed Bioanalytical analysis method for TFR can be used routinely in a commercial laboratory. All the solvents used were of HPLC grade. 4000 QTrap along with the Shimadzu LC 20AD LC System used to develop and validate the method. The LLOQ and LOQ for Tenofovir was found were 5ng/mL and 15ng/mL. The method was accurate (within ±15% of control) and precise (coefficient of variation ≤ 15%). Analytes were stable for five freeze/thaw cycles and up to 6 days at room temperature, whereas long-term at − 20°C or at − 80°C. For Precision study using QCs of the drug-85%, 100% and 115% concentration of drug chosen and the levels M1QC (75ng/mL), MQC (300ng/mL) and HQC (600ng/mL) where the % CV were observed of ≤ 15%. In a Precision and Accuracy study (inter day and intraday), the % CV obtained for Tenofovir was observed ≤ 15%. Recovery studies for extracted samples with LQC (15ng/mL), MQC (300ng/mL) and HQC (600ng/mL) were 94.51%, 91.83% and 90.91% respectively. Stability was within 15% deviation. The results of System Suitability Test for TFR and Acyclovir (ACR) are an internal standard with observed %CV ≤ 2.0%. The aim of the study was to develop a method that could be used as an alternative to the existing Tenofovir indirect method. The existing method observes separating the parent drug from the metabolite in LCMS/MS. This method is a good alternative to the indirect methods currently in use.

: The aim of this study was to evaluate phytochemical composition of Ajuga reptans L. (Lamiaceae) aerial parts (separately flower and leaf) methanol, aqueous-methanolic extracts, and their cytotoxic activities. The phytochemical analysis was performed high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Caffeic acid, p -coumaric, gallic, chlorogenic, ferulic acids, kaempferol, rutin, quercetin, quercetin-3-O-galactoside, and quercitrin were used as reference substances by HPLC in all samples. The major compounds in the extract were found as ferulic acid, caffeic acid, rutin, and quercetin-3-O-galactoside. Cytotoxicity was investigated using methyl thiazole tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Cytotoxic evaluation of the extracts against cancer (MCF7, PC3, and A549) and healthy human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK293) cell lines by MTT. Compared to other cells, the methanol extract of A. reptans demonstrated high selectivity against PC3 cells (IC 50 : 95 ± 0.99 µg/mL) and selectivity index was four times higher than reference drug colchicine. (IC 50 : 95 ± 0.99 µg/mL, SI: 6.10). A. reptans demonstrated antiproliferative potential against prostate and lung cancer cells. Therefore, additional investigations are needed to study the mechanism of the cytotoxicity for A. reptans .

: Anti-cancer agents derived from dietary medicinal plants are of great interest among people. The fruits of the Goji berry ( Lycium barbarum L., Fam. Solanaceae), also known as the ‘King of the Berries’, have valuable health benefits and pharmacological properties thanks to their rich content of phytochemicals. Considering the wide range of biological and pharmacological properties of goji berries, it was aimed to investigate the anticancer, antiproliferative and apoptotic cell death activities against human breast adenocarcinoma and carcinoma cells, MCF-7 and T47D, respectively. In the present study, the anticancer activities of the extracts were evaluated using MTT assay, the antiproliferative effects were investigated using bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) cell proliferation assay, and the apoptotic cell death activities of the extracts were analyzed by immunological-based ELISA. As the main result of this research, it was found that extracts of goji berries significantly decreased the cell viability of breast cancer cells and caused these cells to undergo apoptosis-mediated cell death in a dose-and time-dependent manner. Among the tested extracts, methanol extracts showed the highest anticancer activity against MCF-7 and T47D cells (IC 50 =54.06±0.05 µ g/mL and 76.14±0.38 µ g/mL, p<0.01, respectively), while the lowest activity was observed in goji berry extracts prepared with dichloromethane (IC 50 =101.05±0.14 µ g/mL, p<0.05 and 124.10±0.86 µ g/mL, p<0.01, respectively). Moreover, the methanol extracts caused the strongest antiproliferative activity in MCF-7 cells (p<0.05). Regarding the apoptotic cell death potential of the extracts, increased apoptotic cell death was observed in both breast cancer cells, however, apoptotic cell death occurred more strongly in MCF-7 cells than in T47D cells. Consequently, this study suggests that goji berries could be valuable natural sources for the development of herbal formulations against breast cancer. Accordingly, further detailed studies should be conducted to elucidate the molecular signaling pathways and mechanisms of action.
