Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is a Traditional Chinese Medicine used for the treatment of diseases related to the heart and liver. Owing to the abundance of salvianolic acids and tanshinones, S. miltiorrhiza exhibits various pharmacological activities, such as stimulating blood circulation, eliminating blood stasis, relieving menorrhea and pain, and improving polydipsia. Neocryptotanshinone (NCTS) is one of the tanshinones isolated from S. miltiorrhiza and exhibits anti‐inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and preventive effects against cardiovascular diseases; however, its pharmacokinetic properties have not been reported to date. Therefore, a simple and reliable LC–MS/MS method was developed to determine absorption, distribution, and excretion of NCTS in rat physiological samples. We demonstrated that NCTS had high oral absolute bioavailability of 85.96% ± 25.32%, and it was rapidly distributed in both the heart and brain, and the fecal excretion of NCTS was the highest. This study provides a theoretical basis for further development of NCTS as a potential clinical candidate.

In this study, eight pharmaceuticals belonging to two classes, antihistaminic and antimigraine, were considered. Ultra‐performance liquid chromatography‐diode array detection was set up and gradient elution was used. The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile and trifluoroacetic acid solution. Chromatographic separation was carried out with a run time of 9 min. The preconcentration of eight studied solutes was realized by micro solid‐phase extraction. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide‐titanium dioxide nanotubes, and C‐18 bonded silica solid‐phase extraction (SPE) sorbents were evaluated and compared concerning recoveries. The results of the optimization of factors affecting the extraction efficiency including sample volume, the elution solvent type, and its volume are reported. For validation of the analytical procedure, specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection, and limit of quantification were evaluated. The developed method was successfully applied to the analysis of wastewater treatment samples. The extraction recoveries of pharmaceutical substances were above 81.23% for the three SPE sorbents. The extraction method was selective and the detection and quantification limits were between 0.004–0.02 and 0.01–0.06 μg/L, respectively. All the results indicated the potential application of the three studied SPE sorbents for the extraction of selected pharmaceuticals from wastewater.

Abstract Doxycycline hyclate (DOXH) is very important to treat acne and prevent infections caused by bacteria, so quantifying doxycycline hyclate and its related substances is crucial. In this work, All analytes of doxycycline and its related substances, including methacycline, 4‐epi doxycycline, 6‐epi doxycycline, and 2‐acetyl‐2‐carbamoyl doxycycline, were successfully separated at low concentrations in a single run utilizing the suggested isocratic high‐performance liquid chromatography method with a mobile phase comprising water:acetonitrile:perchloric acid (75:25:0.2, v/v), Phenomenex Luna C18 column (50 × 4.6 mm, 3 μm i.d.) maintained at 30°C with a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min, injection volume of 25 μL, and photodiode array detector at 269 nm. DOXH and its related substances were linear in the range of 0.25–50, 0.1–30, 0.2–35, 0.5–50, and 0.6–20 μg/mL, respectively, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.999 and good accuracy results between 98% and 102%. The method has been successfully used to determine the drug's comparative study in both generic and reference products, demonstrating the similarity between the two products. According to the International Council for Harmonization requirements, the proposed approach was validated. Additionally, the technique has effectively studied in vitro dissolution, Six Sigma, and content uniformity.

Abstract High‐performance thin‐layer chromatography (HPTLC), a top‐notch technique in the field of analysis, is quite irreplaceable when it comes to identifying and standardizing medicinal plants . Marsdenia tenacissima and Leptadenia reticulata have claimed traditional uses like anti‐cancer, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐depressant, hepatoprotection, etc., with few similar phytoconstituents. In this study, a precise and validated HPTLC densitometric method was developed for the identification of α‐amyrin, β‐sitosterol, and betulin in the above‐mentioned plants by static maceration with ethanol and aqueous‐ethanol extracts. The developed method was evaluated by linearity, range, accuracy, precision, limit of detection, limit of quantification, robustness, and specificity. The markers were subjected to ascending development with toluene: ethyl acetate: glacial acetic acid at a ratio of 8:1.5:0.5 v/v/v, air‐dried, and derivatized with anisaldehyde‐sulfuric acid. The retardation factor values of the markers were found to be 0.63 (α‐amyrin), 0.52 (β‐sitosterol), and 0.64 (betulin) for L. reticulata , and 0.55 (α‐amyrin), 0.45 (β‐sitosterol), and 0.57 (betulin) for M. tenacissima . The chromatographic results suggest that the developed method suits all three markers and can be simultaneously identified in both plants.

Abstract Propranolol hydrochloride (PPH) is a medication of beta‐adrenergic receptors. It is used to treat pediatric hemangiomas that are growing and need systemic therapy. A reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was made to separate and estimate the amounts of ten known organic impurities of propranolol in bulk drugs, tablets, and capsule dosage forms. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a C 18 column (100 × 4.6 mm, 2.7 μm) using a binary gradient mixture of pH 2.3 phosphate buffer and organic modifiers of acetonitrile, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol as the mobile phase. The stability‐indicating character of the proposed method was proven using stress testing study. The test method was validated for specificity, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, linearity, precision, accuracy, and robustness. For the propranolol and its ten organic impurities, the limit of quantitation, linearity, and recoveries were found in a range of 0.0123–0.4266 μg/mL ( R 2 > 0.9982) and 89.2–98.9%, respectively. The proposed liquid chromatography method is found to be highly suitable for impurity profiling of propranolol in bulk drugs and pharmaceutical formulations (tablets and capsules).

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the anti‐aging mechanism of raw and various processed Schisandrae chinensis fructus (SF) products by examining differences in serum metabolites in D‐galactose (D‐gal)‐induced aging rats. The study provides a metabolomic basis for SF as a tonic. The ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography‐Q‐time of flight‐tandem mass spectrometry technique was employed for serum metabolomic analysis of the anti‐aging effects of differently processed SF products. Multivariate statistical analysis, MetaboAnalyst, and Human Metabolome Database were utilized for pattern recognition and identification of characteristic metabolites. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay results revealed significant differences between the aging model group and the blank group ( p < 0.01). Treatment with various processed SF products significantly improved related indicators in aging rats ( p < 0.05, p < 0.01). Arginine and seven other metabolites exhibited direct effects on aging. Wine‐processed Schisandrae (WS) treatment adjusted these biomarkers in aging rats to normal levels. WS significantly delayed D‐gal‐induced aging in rats by modulating endogenous biomarkers in relevant metabolic pathways, providing a scientific basis for its enhanced suitability as a tonic from a metabolomic perspective.

Abstract A highly effective high‐performance thin‐layer chromatographic methodology has been developed and validated for the concurrent measurement of teneligliptin hydrobromide hydrate and pioglitazone hydrochloride in tablet offering excellent sensitivity, precision, accuracy, and robustness. The methodology involved using aluminum plates layered with silica gel 60F 254 were used, and the solvent system consisted of a mixture of chloroform, methanol, and ammonia (8:1:0.5 v/v/v). The analysis involved scanning of the plate at a wavelength of 229 nm and analyzing the resulting densitograms. The linear correlation was established over a range of concentrations 250–3000 ng/band for teneligliptin hydrobromide hydrate and 187.5–2250 ng/band for pioglitazone hydrochloride. The method displayed detection limits of 21.29 ng/band for teneligliptin hydrobromide hydrate and 25.97 ng/band for pioglitazone hydrochloride. The quantification limits were 64.52 ng/band for teneligliptin hydrobromide hydrate and 78.71 ng/band for pioglitazone hydrochloride. The results of precision parameters showed that the % relative standard deviation of peak area was consistently below 2%, indicating high precision. The accuracy of the method was demonstrated to be between 96% and 103%. Proposed method was found to be superior and capable of overcoming the shortcomings of previously reported methods for the assessment of both the drugs.

Abstract An L‐tetrahydropalmatine (L‐THP) imprinted silica gel polymer functionalized with aminated groups was prepared with surface imprinting technique by using L‐THP as template, grafted silica gel as support, methacrylic acid as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethyl acrylate as cross‐linker by solution polymerization. The optimum ratio of template, functional monomer, and cross‐linker were found to be 1:4:20 and the conditions of synthesis were 50°C for 18 h. The surface imprinting silica gel polymer of L‐THP was used as a sorbent for L‐THP adsorption and showed better adsorption capacity of L‐THP than that of non‐imprinted polymers. Then the surface imprinting silica gel polymer of L‐THP was filled into the cartridges as the adsorbents of solid‐phase extraction, and the mean recoveries of L‐THP and D‐tetrahydropalmatine were 70.1% and 17.1% with 2.8% and 3.0% of relative standard deviation, respectively.

Abstract Formaldehyde (FA) is commonly used in detergents and cosmetics as an antimicrobial and preservative. This substance is toxic to humans and dangerous to health as it causes eye and skin irritation. FA determination is, therefore, a very important quality control parameter. This study developed gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and solid‐phase microextraction (SPME) with on‐fiber derivatization to determine FA in cosmetic cream skin. FA was derivated using 2,4‐dinitrophenylhydrazine in an aqueous solution. FA in cosmetic cream samples was extracted through SPME fibers in the headspace and rapidly derivated with 2,4‐dinitrophenylhydrazine on SPME fibers. The average detection and quantification limits were at least 0.036 and 0.12, respectively. The results showed that GC/MS and SPME with on‐fiber derivatization are simple, fast, sensitive, and solvent‐free methods for aldehydes determination in cosmetic cream.

Abstract In an ongoing project on the Iranian Helichrysum Mill. species (Asteraceae), the phytochemical profiles of the extracts obtained from the flower and leaves of Helichrysum oligocephalum were investigated utilizing ultra‐performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (MS) coupled with quadrupole time of flight. In addition, the cytotoxic activity of the extracts was evaluated against different cancerous cell lines by AlamarBlue assay. The apoptotic effects of the fractions were measured by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. HPLC‐based activity profiling was used to track the cytotoxic constituents. The MS and MS n data were analyzed by MZmine3. Clustering and visualization of the MS data were established by an online platform FreeClust. Concentration‐dependent cytotoxicity was observed for dichloromethane fractions. The active constituents were annotated as pyrone and phloroglucinol derivatives by comparing their MS and MS n profiles to an in‐house library, available databases, Dictionary of Natural Products, and literature. Additionally, plausible MS fragmentation pathways were suggested for the compounds; this can help in the dereplication process of similar compounds from the genus. In conclusion, this plant is rich in valuable phloroglucinol and pyrone compounds and can be used as a source of active phytochemicals. However, further phytochemical and pharmacological studies are necessary.
