RESUMO
Atorvastatin-an oral lipid regulating drug is a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase), which is the rate determining enzyme for cholesterol synthesis. Adenine is a purine nucleobase that is found in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) to generate genetic information. The binding mechanism of atorvastatin and adenine was studied for the first time utilizing various techniques, including UV-visible spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SF), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and metal ion complexation. The fluorescence spectra of the complex indicated that atorvastatin is bound to adenine via hydrophobic interaction through a spontaneous binding process, and the fluorescence quenching mechanism was found to be static quenching with a binding constant of 1.4893 × 104 Lmol-1 at 298 K. Various temperature settings were used to investigate thermodynamic characteristics, such as binding forces, binding constants, and the number of binding sites. The interaction parameters, including the standard enthalpy change (ΔHο) and standard entropy change (ΔSο) were calculated using Van't Hoff's equation to be 42.82 kJmol-1 and 208.9 Jmol-1K-1, respectively. The findings demonstrated that the adenine- atorvastatin binding was endothermic. Furthermore, the results of the experiments revealed that some metal ions (K+, Ca+2, Co+2, Cu+2, and Al+3) facilitate the binding interaction between atorvastatin and adenine. Slight changes are observed in the FTIR spectra of adenine, indicating the binding interaction between adenine and atorvastatin.
RESUMO
Favipiravir (FVP) is an oral antiviral drug approved in 2021 for the treatment of COVID-19. It is a pyrazine derivative that can be integrated into anti-viral RNA products to inhibit viral replication. While, adenine is a purine nucleobase that is found in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) to generate genetic information. For the first time, the binding mechanism between FVP and adenine was determined using different techniques, including UV-visible spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, synchronous fluorescence (SF) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and metal ion complexation. The fluorescence spectra indicated that FVP is bound to adenine via Van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding through a spontaneous binding process (ΔGο < 0). The quenching mechanism was found to be static. Various temperature settings were used to investigate thermodynamic characteristics, such as binding forces, binding constants, and the number of binding sites. The reaction parameters, including the enthalpy change (ΔHο) and entropy change (ΔSο), were calculated using Van't Hoff's equation. The findings demonstrated that the adenine-FVP binding was endothermic. Furthermore, the results of the experiments revealed that some metal ions (K+, Ca+2, Co+2, Cu+2, and Al+3) might facilitate the binding interaction between FVP and adenine. Slight changes are observed in the FTIR spectra of adenine, indicating the binding interaction between adenine and FVP. This study may be useful in understanding the pharmacokinetic characteristics of FVP and how the drug binds to adenine to prevent any side effects.

In this work, the binding mechanism between donepezil (DNP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was established using several techniques, including fluorimetry, UV- spectrophotometry, synchronous fluorimetry (SF), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) besides molecular docking study. The fluorescence quenching mechanism of DNP-BSA binding was a combined dynamic and static quenching. The thermodynamic parameters, binding forces, binding constant, and the number of binding sites were determined using a different range of temperature settings. Van't Hoff's equation was used to calculate the reaction parameters, including enthalpy change (ΔHο) and entropy change (ΔSο). The results pointed out that the DNP-BSA binding was endothermic. It was shown that the stability of the drug-protein system was predominantly due to the intermolecular hydrophobic forces. Additionally, the site probing method revealed that subdomain IIA (Site I) is where DNP and BSA's binding occurs. This was validated using a molecular docking study with the most stable DNP configuration. This study might help to understand DNP's pharmacokinetics profile and toxicity as well as provides crucial information for its safe use and avoiding its toxicity.
RESUMO
Simple, direct, rapid, and sensitive HPLC and spectrophotometric methods were established for simultaneous estimation of a novel combination of budesonide and azelastine (BUD/AZL) in their laboratory-prepared mixture and dosage form according to the medicinally recommended ratio 1:4.28. Budesonide is an important inhalation corticosteroid that plays a vital role in the inhibition of COVID-19 replication and cytokine production. The first chromatographic method was created for the simultaneous estimation of BUD epimers in the presence of AZL with excellent efficiency in a relatively short chromatographic run (< 9 min). The separation of BUD epimers with AZL was carried out on a C18 column using acetonitrile: phosphate buffer of pH 3.5 adjusted by 0.2 M orthophosphoric acid (40:60, v/v) as a mobile phase, UV detection at 230 nm and a flow rate of regulated at 2 mL/min. Besides, three spectrophotometric methods were applied for the simultaneous determination of the provided mixture adopting zero order, first order derivative, and ratio first derivative approaches. The Zero-order spectrophotometry was used for the determination of AZL in presence of BUD, where BUD shows no absorbance at 290 nm. The first derivative amplitude at 265 nm (1D265) (zero-crossing of AZL) and the ratio of first derivative amplitudes at 270 nm (1DD270) using 10.0 µg mL-1 AZL as divisor was chosen for the simultaneous determination of BUD in the presence of AZL in the binary mixture. The proposed methods were found to be rectilinear in the concentration range of (0.4-40.0 µg mL-1) and (0.05-40.0 µg mL-1) for BUD and AZL, respectively in the HPLC method. Whereas the concentration range for AZL in the zero-order method was (1.0-35.0 µg mL-1) and for BUD in the first derivative and ratio derivative method was (6.0-20.0 µg mL-1). Validation of the suggested approaches according to the ICH criteria was performed. Furthermore, to ensure the proposed approaches' greenness, The AGREE and GAPI metrics were utilized, and the afforded results revealed an excellent greenness of the proposed approaches.
RESUMO
A rapid and sensitive isocratic ion-pair chromatographic method was developed for the accurate analysis of ternary mixtures of formoterol, tiotropium, and ciclesonide in their novel combined inhalation that is widely used for the symptomatic treatment of patients with chronic obstructive disease. Analytical separation was performed using a C8 column and ion pair mobile phase composed of acetonitrile: acidified deionized water (55: 45% v/v) containing 0.025% sodium dodecyl sulfate. The pH was adjusted to 3.0 using orthophosphoric acid and eluted isocratically at 2.0 mL/min and 40 °C applying UV detection at 237 nm. The calibration ranges were found to be 0.3-9.0 µg/mL for formoterol, 0.45-13.5 µg/mL for tiotropium, and 10.0-300.0 µg/mL concerning ciclesonide. The proposed method exhibited good repeatability, accuracy, and sensitivity (R.S.D. < 2.0%). The approach is rapid (run time does not exceed 15 min) and achieves satisfactory resolution (resolution factors = 7.45 and 5.3 between formoterol and tiotropium and tiotropium and ciclesonide respectively). The sensitivity and the efficiency of the proposed method permit their successful estimation with a recovery percentage ± SD of 99.33% ± 0.43 for formoterol, 99.15% ± 0.60 for tiotropium, and 99.90% ± 0.41 for ciclesonide.

This article presents the binding interaction between mebendazole (MBZ) and bovine serum albumin. The interaction has been studied using different techniques, such as fluorescence quenching spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer in addition to molecular docking. Results from Stern Volmer equation stated that the quenching for MBZ-BSA binding was static. The fluorescence quenching spectroscopic study was performed at three temperature settings. The binding constant (kq), the number of binding sites (n), thermodynamic parameters (ΔHο, ΔSο and ΔGο), and binding forces were determined. The results exhibited that the interaction was endothermic. It was revealed that intermolecular hydrophobic forces led to the stabilization of the drug-protein system. Using the site marker technique, the binding between MBZ and BSA was found to be located at subdomain IIA (site I). This was furtherly approved using the molecular docking technique with the most stable MBZ configuration. This research may aid in understanding the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of MBZ and give fundamental data for its safe usage to avoid its toxicity.

One of the major causes of mortality all over the world is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recently approved combined inhaler of formoterol fumarate (FF) and glycopyrronium bromide (GLY) has been used in very low concentrations (µg level/actuation) doses in COPD patients. The first spectrophotometric and advanced highly sensitive liquid chromatography has been achieved successfully throughout this study, permitting validated analysis of dual combined inhaler in raw material as well as pharmaceutical inhaled dosage form. Three sensitive analytical methods were carried out for the simultaneous assay of FF and GLY in their novel combined Metered dose inhaler (MDI). The first method depends on measuring the first derivative amplitudes at 208.27 nm for FF and at 213.27 nm and 239.86 nm for GLY, respectively. The second method depends on measurement of the first derivative of the ratio spectra at 214 or 229 nm for FF and 240 or 259 nm for GLY, respectively. For the spectrophotometric methods, the linearity ranges were 0.48-9.6 µg/mL for FF and 0.9-18 µg/mL for GLY. For the third method, valid ion-pairing chromatographic method was carried out applying C18 column and isocratic mobile phase of 60% v/v acetonitrile and 40% v/v deionized waster (pH 3.0) enclosing 0.025% sodium dodecyl sulfate, using UV detection adjusted to 210 nm and flow rate of 1.2 mL/min. For the ion-pairing chromatographic method, the linearity ranges were 0.048-4.8 µg/mL for FF and 0.09-9.0 µg/mL for GLY. The developed methods are reproducible, valid and offer efficient resolution between formoterol and glycopyrronium using spectrophotometric methods and highly sensitive and precise chromatographic method. The percent recoveries of the inhaled drugs in their MDI were good. The method was successfully established for the quantitative analysis of FF and GLY in their combined pharmaceutical inhaler capsules to validate the therapeutic efficiency of the combined drugs in quality control labs.
RESUMO
Two sensitive, rapid, and accurate derivative emission spectrofluorimetric methods applying zero crossing techniques were developed for simultaneous determination of binary mixtures of ibuprofen (IBU) and phenylephrine hydrochloride (PHE) in pure powder, synthetic mixture and combined tablets. The proposed methods were performed via measuring the intersected drug derivative amplitude of one drug at the zero crossing points for the other one and vice versa. The two methods rely on the measurement of the combined drugs native fluorescence after excitation at 270â¯nm in methanol directly, followed by differentiation using first (D1) and second derivative (D2) techniques. Applying the D1, IBU was measured quantitatively at 293.1â¯nm at zero crossing of PHE, on the other side; PHE was measured quantitatively at 300.7â¯nm at zero crossing of IBU. By the same way, applying the D2, the wavelengths selected were 303.5â¯nm for IBU and 312.9â¯nm for PHE. The concentration plots of derivative fluorescence intensity were rectilinear over the range of 0.5-10⯵g/mL and 0.025-0.5⯵g/mL for IBU and PHE, respectively. The results obtained with average % recoveries⯱â¯RSD are 99.73⯱â¯0.72 (IBU, D1), 99.49⯱â¯0.95 (PHE, D1), 99.79⯱â¯0.47 (IBU, D2), and 99.88⯱â¯0.34 (PHE, D2) were in good agreement with the comparison method. The proposed methods offer high sensitivity that enable direct analysis of IBU and PHE in spiked human plasma. The proposed methods were entirely validated in terms of ICH guidelines.

Trimellitimides 6-21 were prepared and investigated in vivo for anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic effects and in vitro for cytotoxicity. They were subjected to in vitro cyclooxygenase (COX-1/2) and carbonic anhydrase inhibition protocols. Compounds 6-11 and 18 exhibited anti-inflammatory activities and had median effective doses (ED50) of 34.3-49.8â¯mgâ¯kg-1 and 63.6-86.6% edema inhibition relative to the reference drug celecoxib (ED50: 33.9â¯mgâ¯kg-1 and 85.2% edema inhibition). Compounds 6-11 and 18 were weakly cytotoxic at 10⯵M against 59 cell lines compared with the reference standard 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Compounds 6-11 had optimal selectivity against COX-2. The selectivity index (SI) range was >200-490 and was comparable to that for celecoxib [COX-2 (SI)â¯>â¯416.7]. In contrast, compounds 12, 13, and 16-18 were nonselective COX inhibitors with a selectivity index range of 0.92-0.25. The carbonic anhydrase inhibition assay showed that sulfonamide incorporating trimellitimides 6-11 inhibited the cytosolic isoforms hCA I and hCA II, and tumor-associated isoform hCA IX. They were relatively more susceptible to inhibition by compounds 8, 9, and 11. The KI ranges were 54.1-81.9â¯nM for hCA I, 25.9-55.1â¯nM for hCA II, and 46.0-348.3â¯nM for hCA IX. © 2018 Elsevier Science. All rights reserved.

Two simple, sensitive, rapid, validated and cost effective spectroscopic methods were established for quantification of antihistaminic drug azelastine (AZL) in bulk powder as well as in pharmaceutical dosage forms. In the first method (A) the absorbance difference between acidic and basic solutions was measured at 228nm, whereas in the second investigated method (B) the binary complex formed between AZL and Eosin Y in acetate buffer solution (pH3) was measured at 550nm. Different criteria that have critical influence on the intensity of absorption were deeply studied and optimized so as to achieve the highest absorption. The proposed methods obeyed Beer's low in the concentration range of (2.0-20.0µg·mL-1) and (0.5-15.0µg·mL-1) with % recovery±S.D. of (99.84±0.87), (100.02±0.78) for methods (A) and (B), respectively. Furthermore, the proposed methods were easily applied for quality control of pharmaceutical preparations without any conflict with its co-formulated additives, and the analytical results were compatible with those obtained by the comparison one with no significant difference as insured by student's t-test and the variance ratio F-test. Validation of the proposed methods was performed according the ICH guidelines in terms of linearity, limit of quantification, limit of detection, accuracy, precision and specificity, where the analytical results were persuasive.

A highly sensitive, simple and rapid spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of azelastine HCl (AZL) in either its pure state or pharmaceutical dosage form. The proposed method was based on measuring the native fluorescence of the studied drug in 0.2 M H2 SO4 at λem = 364 nm after excitation at λex = 275 nm. Different experimental parameters were studied and optimized carefully to obtain the highest fluorescence intensity. The proposed method showed a linear dependence of the fluorescence intensity on drug concentration over a concentration range of 10-250 ng/mL, with a limit of detection of 1.52 ng/mL and limit of quantitation of 4.61 ng/mL. Moreover, the method was successfully applied to pharmaceutical preparations, with percent recovery values (± SD) of 99.96 (± 0.4) and 100.1 (± 0.52) for nasal spray and eye drops, respectively. The results were in good agreement with those obtained by the comparison method, as revealed by Student's t-test and the variance ratio F-test. The method was extended to study the stability of AZL under stress conditions, where the drug was exposed to neutral, acidic, alkaline, oxidative and photolytic degradation according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines.
