In the present study, fast disintegrating tablets of Lercanidipine Hydrochloride (LFDT) were tested in vivo in the buccal cavity of the rabbits. Various pharmacokinetic parameters were analysed in the study, including maximum measured plasma concentration (Cmax), time of maximum measured plasma concentration (tmax) and area under the plasma concentration vs time curve (AUC). Also, the comparative study of the Lercanidipine Hydrochloride fast disintegrating tablets (LFDT) was performed with the marketed conventional tablets of the drug (LMKT). The technique selected for the bioanalytical analysis of the blood samples of the rabbits for pharmacokinetic data computation was High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. An already well-established and validated method was used to analyse the blood samples of the rabbits. The results revealed that the rate of absorption was improved for fast disintegrating tablets of Lercanidipine Hydrochloride (LFDT) as compared to the marketed conventional tablets of the drug (LMKT). This indicated that drug was rapidly absorbed from the fast disintegrating tablet and attained elevated plasma concentration in a short interval after dosing than the marketed formulation. However, the value of tmax was drastically shorter for LFDT than the LMKT. The average peak plasma concentration also designated a rise in the extent of absorption (AUC). From the present study, it was concluded that the fast disintegrating tablet batch (LFDT) had much more improved pharmacokinetic parameters as compared to its conventional marketed counterpart (LMKT).

An ever-increasing need exists within the forensic laboratories to develop analytical processes for the qualitative and quantitative determination of a broad spectrum of new psychoactive substances. Phenylethylamine derivatives are among the major classes of psychoactive substances available on the global market and include both amphetamine analogues and synthetic cathinones. In this work, an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-positive ion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric method (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) has been developed and fully validated for the determination of 19 psychoactive substances, including nine amphetamine-type stimulants and 10 synthetic cathinone derivatives, in premortem and postmortem whole blood. The assay was based on the use of 1 mL premortem or postmortem whole blood, following solid phase extraction prior to the analysis. The separation was achieved on a Poroshell 120 EC-C18 analytical column with a gradient mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water in 9 min. The dynamic multiple reaction monitoring used in this work allowed for limit of detection (LOD) and lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) values of 0.5 and 2 ng mL−1, respectively, for all analytes both in premortem and postmortem whole blood samples. A quadratic calibration model was used for the 12 quantitative analytes over the concentration range of 20–2000 ng mL−1, and the method was shown to be precise and accurate both in premortem and postmortem whole blood. The method was applied to the analysis of real cases and proved to be a valuable tool in forensic and clinical toxicology.

Abstract A simple high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the determination of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid analogues (C3AA) in rat plasma and a preliminary study on pharmacokinetics. Ferulic acid (FA) was used as the internal standard substance, and coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (C3A) was used as a substitute for quantitative C3AA. After protein precipitation with methanol, the satisfactory separation was achieved on an ODS2 column when the temperature was maintained at 30 ± 2°C. The correlation coefficient r in the C3A linear equation is equal to 0.9990. Pharmacokinetic parameters for t1/2, Tmax, Cmax, area under the curve (AUC)0-t, average residence time (MRT), apparent volume of distribution (V z/F) and clearance (Cl/F) were 1.89 ± 0.03 h, 0.39 ± 0.14 h, 1.81 ± 0.10 g· mL−1 ·h, 7.88 ± 0.24 g·mL−1·h, 3.23 ± 0.14 h, 0.43 ± 0.03 (mg·kg−1)·(g·mL−1)−1·h−1, respectively. The high performance liquid chromatography-photo diode array detector (HPLC-PDA) method established in this study can be used to separate and determine the content of C3AA in plasma of rats after 60% ethanol extraction by gavage. The plasma concentration-time curve and pharmacokinetic parameters reflect the absorption of C3AA in rat blood after oral administration to some extent.

Testing of cord blood or newborn blood samples for hemoglobin abnormalities should include clinically important hemoglobinopathies other than sickle cell anemia (SS), such as SC, SD, SO, S-β- thalassemia (thal), EE, SE, and α-thal, and should place the quality of the testing procedures (ie, accuracy of diagnosis) above quantity (ie, number of samples tested over a given period). There is no single method available that is suitable for the identification of each of the numerous abnormalities; thus, at least two, and often more than two, procedures must be used to reach a definitive diagnosis. For this reason, blood samples collected in vacutainers with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as anticoagulant are preferred to those collected on filter papers. The latter approach also has the disadvantage that, under a less than optimal transport system, hemoglobin is readily modified (oxidation, glycosylation, protein-protein interaction), producting extra bands or peaks in electrophoretic or chromatographic separations that interfere with an appropriate identification of various genetically determined hemoglobin variants. In our laboratories, in which hemoglobin identification has been routine for more than 25 years, we consider the following procedures acceptable primary testing methods: starch gel electrophoresis at pH 8.9, cellulose acetate electrophoresis at pH 8.5 to 8.9, isoelectric focusing, and fast cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The following five methods are excellent confirmatory testing procedures: citrate agar electrophoresis at pH 6.1, cation or anion exchange macrochromatography, isoelectric focusing, cation exchange HPLC, and immunologic procedures. Combinations of these techniques will often lead to acceptable data, and the general approach followed in our institute is given in Fig 1. Cellulose acetate electrophoresis at alkaline pH is still the primary testing procedure, and citrate agar electrophoresis at pH 6.1 and micro-HPLC procedures are the main confirmatory methods.

Aim: to study features of pharmacokinetics of ofloxacin as a part of anion PEGylated niosomes on a basis of sorbitan monostearate (Span 60) to experimental white mice per os. Materials and methods: ofloxacin was entrapped in niosomes consisting of Span 60, cholesterol, PEG 4000 and dicetylphosphate. Sizes of niosomes estimated by means of probe microscopy. Efficiency of inclusion of an antibiotic in niosomes defined after removal of free drug by a centrifugation. The analysis of the quantitative contents of ofloxacin in samples carried out a method of a high performance liquid chromatography. Results: we studied the main pharmacokinetic parameters of ofloxacin when used free and niosomal forms of antibiotic to experimental white mice per os. It is shown that use of oral niosomal forms leads to decrease of maximal concentration in serum and increase of ofloxacin half-life by 7,4 times in average compared to the free form. It is determined that bioavailability of ofloxacin in the niosomal form is 154% relative to the free form of the antibiotic. Conclusions: niosomal microcontainers are perspective technology of encapsulation and the directed transport of antibacterial preparations through biological barriers. Using of niosomal formulation of ofloxacin is able to afford to increase considerably efficiency of treatment in comparison with a free form and significantly decrease negative effects of antibiotic therapy.
