Targeting TRIP13 in favorable histology Wilms tumor with nuclear export inhibitors synergizes with doxorubicin.

Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common renal malignancy of childhood. Despite improvements in the overall survival, relapse occurs in ~15% of patients with favorable histology WT (FHWT). Half of these patients will succumb to their disease. Identifying novel targeted therapies remains challenging in part due to the lack of faithful preclinical in vitro models. Here we establish twelve patient-derived WT cell lines and demonstrate that these models faithfully recapitulate WT biology using genomic and transcriptomic techniques. We then perform loss-of-function screens to identify the nuclear export gene, XPO1, as a vulnerability. We find that the FDA approved XPO1 inhibitor, KPT-330, suppresses TRIP13 expression, which is required for survival. We further identify synergy between KPT-330 and doxorubicin, a chemotherapy used in high-risk FHWT. Taken together, we identify XPO1 inhibition with KPT-330 as a potential therapeutic option to treat FHWTs and in combination with doxorubicin, leads to durable remissions in vivo.

Crebinostat facilitates memory formation.

Protein modifications importantly contribute to memory formation. Protein acetylation is a post-translational modification of proteins that regulates memory formation. Acetylation level is determined by the relative activities of acetylases and deacetylases. Crebinostat is a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Here we show that in an object recognition task, crebinostat facilitates memory formation by a weak training. Further, this compound enhances acetylation of α-tubulin, and reduces the level of histone deacetylase 6, an α-tubulin deacetylase. The results suggest that enhanced acetylation of α-tubulin by crebinostat contributes to its facilitatory effect on memory formation.

Efficacy and safety of immunosuppressive therapy combined with eltrombopag for severe aplastic anemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Immunosuppressive therapy (IST) is the first choice for severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) limitation, and the main factor limiting its efficacy is too few residual hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC). Eltrombopag (EPAG), as a small molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist, can stimulate the proliferation of residual HSPC and restore the bone marrow hematopoietic function of patients. In recent years, many studies have observed the efficacy and safety of IST combined with EPAG in the treatment of SAA, but the results are still controversial. The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of IST combined with or without EPGA in the treatment of SAA. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of all relevant literature published up to January 19, 2024. Pooled odds ratio (OR) was calculated to compare the rates, along with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and p value to assess whether the results were statistically significant by Review Manager 5.4.1. The p values for the interactions between each subgroup were calculated by Stata 15.1. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the Cochrane bias risk assessment tools were respectively used to evaluate the quality of the literature with cohort studies and randomized controlled trials. The Review Manager 5.4.1 and Stata 15.1 were used to assess bias risk and perform the meta-analysis. RESULTS: A total of 16 studies involving 2148 patients were included. The IST combined with the EPAG group had higher overall response rate (ORR) than the IST group at 3 months (pooled OR = 2.10, 95% CI 1.58-2.79, p < 0.00001) and 6 months (pooled OR = 2.13, 95% CI 1.60-2.83, p < 0.00001), but the difference between the two groups became statistically insignificant at 12 months (pooled OR = 1.13, 95% CI 0.75-1.72, p = 0.55). The results of complete response rate (CRR) (pooled OR at 3 months = 2.73, 95% CI 1.83-4.09, p < 0.00001, 6 months = 2.76, 95% CI 2.08-3.67, p < 0.00001 and 12 months = 1.38, 95% CI 0.85-2.23, p = 0.19) were similar to ORR. Compared with the IST group, the IST combined with the EPAG group had better overall survival rate (OSR) (pooled OR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.15-2.51, p = 0.008), but there were no statistically significant differences in event-free survival rate (EFSR) (pooled OR = 1.40, 95% CI 0.93-2.13, p = 0.11), clonal evolution rate (pooled OR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.46-1.00, p = 0.05) and other adverse events between the two groups. The results of subgroup analysis showed that different ages were a source of heterogeneity, but different study types and different follow-up times were not. Moreover, all p-values for the interactions were greater than 0.05, suggesting that the treatment effect was not influenced by subgroup characteristics. CONCLUSION: EPAG added to IST enables patients to achieve earlier and faster hematologic responses with a higher rate of complete response. Although it had no effect on overall EFSR, it improved OSR and did not increase the incidence of clonal evolution and other adverse events.

New Thiosemicarbazide Derivatives with Multidirectional Biological Action.

Over the years, several new medicinal substances have been introduced for the treatment of diseases caused by bacteria and parasites. Unfortunately, due to the production of numerous defense mechanisms by microorganisms and parasites, they still pose a serious threat to humanity around the world. Therefore, laboratories all over the world are still working on finding new, effective methods of pharmacotherapy. This research work aimed to synthesize new compounds derived from 3-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid hydrazide and to determine their biological activity. The first stage of the research was to obtain seven new compounds, including six linear compounds and one derivative of 1,2,4-triazole. The PASS software was used to estimate the potential probabilities of biological activity of the newly obtained derivatives. Next, studies were carried out to determine the nematocidal potential of the compounds with the use of nematodes of the genus Rhabditis sp. and antibacterial activity using the ACCT standard strains. To determine the lack of cytotoxicity, tests were performed on two cell lines. Additionally, an antioxidant activity test was performed due to the importance of scavenging free radicals in infections with pathogenic microorganisms. The conducted research proved the anthelmintic and antibacterial potential of the newly obtained compounds. The most effective were two compounds with a 3-chlorophenyl substituent, both linear and cyclic derivatives. They demonstrated higher efficacy than the drugs used in treatment.

Pushing Boundaries: What's Next in Metal-Free C-H Functionalization for Sulfenylation?

The synthesis of thioether derivatives has been explored widely due to the potential application of these derivatives in medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical industry and material chemistry. Within this context, there has been an increasing demand for the environmentally benign construction of C-S bonds via C-H functionalization under metal-free conditions. In the present article, we highlight recent developments in metal-free sulfenylation that have occurred in the past three years. The synthesis of organosulfur compounds via a metal-free approach using a variety of sulfur sources, including thiophenols, disulfides, sulfonyl hydrazides, sulfonyl chlorides, elemental sulfur and sulfinates, is discussed. Non-conventional strategies, which refer to the development of thioether derivatives under visible light and electrochemically mediated conditions, are also discussed. The key advantages of the reviewed methodologies include broad substrate scope and high reaction yields under environmentally benign conditions. This comprehensive review will provide chemists with a synthetic tool that will facilitate further development in this field.

[Elesclomol-Cu Induces Cuproptosis in Human Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of elesclomol-Cu (ES-Cu) on the proliferation and cuproptosis of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. METHODS: The effects of ES-Cu on the proliferation of AML cells and the AML cells pre-treated with ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (TTM) were examined by CCK-8 assay. The Calcein/PI kit was used to detected the changes in activity and cytotoxicity of AML cells induced by ES-Cu. Flow cytometry and Cytation3 fully automated cell imaging multifunctional detection system were used to analyze DCFH-DA fluorescence intensity, so as to determine the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The GSH and GSSG detection kits were used to measure the intracellular GSH content. Western blot was used to detected the expression of cuproptosis-related proteins ATP7B, FDX1, DLAT and DPYD. RESULTS: ES-Cu inhibited the proliferation of Kasumi-1 and HL-60 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (r Kasumi-1=-0.99， r HL-60=-0.98). As the concentration of ES-Cu increased, the level of intracellular ROS also increased (P <0.01-0.001). TTM could significantly reverse the inhibitory effect of ES-Cu on cell proliferation and its promoting effect on ROS. With the increase of ES-Cu concentration, the content of GSH was decreased (r =-0.98), and Western blot showed that the protein expressions of ATP7B, FDX1, DLAT and DPYD were significantly reduced (P <0.05). CONCLUSION: ES-Cu can induce cuproptosis in AML cells, which provides a new idea for the treatment of AML.

XPO1 blockade with KPT-330 promotes apoptosis in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma by activating the p53-p21 and p27 pathways.

Dysregulated nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking has been shown to play a role in oncogenesis in several types of solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Exportin 1 (XPO1) is responsible for the nuclear export of several proteins and RNA species, mainly tumor suppressors. KPT-330, a small molecule inhibitor of XPO1, is approved for treating relapsed multiple myeloma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is an extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma with an adverse prognosis and limited treatment options in advanced stages. The effect of therapeutically targeting XPO1 with KPT-330 in CTCL has not been established. We report that XPO1 expression is upregulated in CTCL cells. KPT-330 reduces cell proliferation, induces G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. RNA-sequencing was used to explore the underlying mechanisms. Genes associated with the cell cycle and the p53 pathway were significantly enriched with KPT-330 treatment. KPT-330 suppressed XPO1 expression, upregulated p53, p21WAF1/Cip1, and p27Kip1 and their nuclear localization, and downregulated anti-apoptotic protein (Survivin). The in vivo efficacy of KPT-330 was investigated using a bioluminescent xenograft mouse model of CTCL. KPT-330 blocked tumor growth and prolonged survival (p < 0.0002) compared to controls. These findings support investigating the use of KPT-330 and next-generation XPO1 inhibitors in CTCL.

A triphenylamine-based carbohydrazide hydrazone fluorescent probe for selective detection of hypochlorite and sensing acidic gases.

Hypochlorous acid and its hypochlorite are important reactive oxygen species in the body, and are involved in various physiological processes related to immunity; their rapid detection is of great significance. Here, we synthesized a fluorescent probe (TPAS) by condensation of 4-(diphenylamino)benzaldehyde, carbohydrazide, and salicylaldehyde, which can be used for the detection of ClO- in water and sensing of acidic gas in its solid state. The probe showed strong selective recognition of ClO- in acetonitrile and good tolerance to interference ions. There were good linear responses between the intensity of absorbance and fluorescence and the amount of ClO-. The TPAS solid and its paper strips can emit red fluorescence when exposed to volatile acidic vapours. After being treated with NH3, the red fluorescence can be restored to yellow. The response process of TPAS to ClO- and acid gases was characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance, electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, and density functional theory calculations. Furthermore, it can be utilized in analyzing ClO- in commercially available bleaching products; the detection results were basically compatible with the labelled values. In addition, the probe is biocompatible and can be applied for imaging ClO- in zebrafish.

Safety and efficacy of eltrombopag in patients with aplastic anemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

OBJECTIVE: This article conducts a systematic review of eltrombopag combined with immunosuppressive therapy for the treatment of aplastic anemia (AA), to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of eltrombopag. METHODS: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, OVID, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases were searched. Studies that met the inclusion criteria were collected, ranging from the establishment of the database to August 2023. Two reviewers performed meta-analyses using the Cochrane systematic review method and RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS: This meta-analysis enrolled 5 studies with a total of 542 AA patients, including 274 in the experimental group and 268 in the control group. Meta-analyses were performed for efficacy and adverse reactions. The endpoint of effects included 6-month complete response (CR), 6-month partial response (PR), and 6-month overall response (OR). Eltrombopag combined with immunotherapy showed significant improvements in 6-month CR (OR: 2.20; 95% CI;1.54-3.12; P < 0.0001) and 6-month OR (OR = 3.66, 95% CI 2.39-5.61, P < 0.001)compared to immunosuppressive therapy for AA patients. In terms of safety, eltrombopag combined with immunosuppressive therapy showed significantly increased pigment deposition and abnormal liver function compared to immunosuppressive therapy alone. CONCLUSION: Compared to immunosuppressive therapy alone, eltrombopag combined with immunosuppressive therapy showed significant improvements in 6-month CR and 6-month OR. However, it also resulted in increased pigment deposition and abnormal liver function in terms of safety.

A new carbazole based fluorescent probe with AIE characteristic for detecting and imaging hydrazine in living cells, mungbean sprouts, Arabidopsis thaliana, and practical samples.

In this study, we report a new carbazole-malononitrile fluorescent probe CBC with an interesting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic. Probe CBC could rapidly and selectively detect hydrazine (N2H4) in ～100% aqueous media, and also exhibit an exceedingly low detection limit of 6.3 nM for sensitively detecting N2H4. The sensing mechanism of CBC towards N2H4 has been well demonstrated through the spectra of 1H NMR, HRMS and FTIR. Interestingly, probe CBC was applied to visualize and detect gaseous and aqueous N2H4 with sensitive color changes. Importantly, probe CBC was applied to effectively detect N2H4 in practical samples such as soil, human serum, human urine, plants, foods and beverages, as well as sensitively sense and image N2H4 in biological systems including living mungbean sprouts, Arabidopsis thaliana, and HeLa cells.

Successful treatment of severe passenger lymphocyte syndrome with efgartigimod synergy.

INTRODUCTION: This case describes passenger lymphocyte syndrome (PLS) generating human platelet antigen 1a (HPA-1a) alloantibodies against the recipient's platelets after liver transplant. Given the rarity of PLS, especially in liver transplant with HPA-1a alloantibodies, disease course and management options are poorly described. METHODS: The patient had cirrhosis secondary to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis complicated by hepatocellular carcinoma, encephalopathy, and severe ascites. The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was 15 at presentation. The patient developed hepatic artery thrombosis after an orthotopic liver transplant and was relisted for transplant with a MELD score of 40. The patient received a hepatitis C virus antibody positive, hepatitis C virus nucleic amplification test positive donor liver on postoperative day (POD) 7 after first transplant. On POD 7 after the second transplant, the patient developed profound thrombocytopenia refractory to platelet infusion. They were found to have serum antibody to HPA-1a based upon serum platelet alloantibody testing. The donor was later found to be negative for HPA-1a by genetic testing. However, the patient's native platelets were HPA-1a positive. The patient was diagnosed with PLS. RESULTS: The patient's treatment course included 57 units of platelets transfused, emergency splenectomy, rituximab, plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), eltrombopag, romiplostim, and efgartigimod. DISCUSSION: The synergistic effect of efgartigimod with eltrombopag and romiplostim most likely resolved the patient's thrombocytopenia. This case represents a novel use of efgartigimod in the treatment of passenger lymphocyte syndrome following liver transplant.

A new copper(II) complex containing long-chain aliphatic hydrazide and 1,10-phenanthroline upregulates ADP hydrolysis in triple-negative breast cancer cells.

Copper can be opportunely complexed to modulate oncogenic pathways, being a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Herein, three new copper(II) complexes containing long-chain aliphatic hydrazides and 1,10-phenanthroline (1,10-phen), namely, [Cu(octh)(1,10-phen)(H2O)](NO3)21, [Cu(dech)(1,10-phen)(H2O)](NO3)22 and [Cu(dodh)(1,10-phen)(H2O)](NO3)2.H2O 3 (where octh = octanoic hydrazide, dech = decanoic hydrazide, dodh = dodecanoic hydrazide) were successfully prepared and characterized by several physical-chemical methods. Furthermore, X-ray structural analysis of complex 2 indicated that the geometry around the copper(II) ion is distorted square-pyramidal, in which hydrazide and 1,10-phenanthroline act as bidentate ligands. A water molecule in the apical position completes the coordination sphere of the metal ion. All new copper(II) complexes were cytotoxic to breast cancer cell lines (MCF7, MDA-MB-453, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-157) and selective when compared to the non tumor lineage MCF-10A. In particular, complex 2 showed half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values ranging between 2.7 and 13.4 µM in MDA-MB231 cells after 24 and 48 h of treatment, respectively. Furthermore, this complex proved to be more selective for tumor cell lines when compared to doxorubicin and docetaxel. Complex 2 inhibited the clonogenicity of MDA-MB231 cells, increasing adenosine diphosphate (ADP) hydrolysis and upregulating ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 (ENTPD1) transcriptional levels. In this sense, we suggest that the inhibitory effect on cell proliferation may be related to the modulation of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) levels. Thus, a novel copper(II) complex with increased cytotoxic effects and selectivity against breast cancer cells was obtained, contributing to medicinal chemistry efforts toward the development of new chemotherapeutic agents.

Herombopag for the treatment of persistent thrombocytopenia following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) stands as a pivotal treatment for hematologic malignancies, often considered the sole effective treatment option. A frequent complication following allo-HSCT is poor graft function (PGF), with one of its primary manifestations being persistent thrombocytopenia (PT), comprising prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia (PIT) and secondary failure of platelet recovery (SFPR). Conventional treatment methods have had poor efficacy and a high transplantation-associated mortality rate. In recent years, the efficacy of eltrombopag has been reported in the treatment of post-transplantation PT, and additional thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA) have been developed. Herombopag is a next-generation TPO-RA which has strong proliferation-promoting effects on human TPO-R-expressing cells (32D-MPL) and hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro. We reviewed eighteen patients with transplantation-associated thrombocytopenia who received herombopag when eltrombopag was ineffective or poorly tolerated and evaluated its efficacy including effects on survival. Herombopag was administered at a median time of 197 days post-transplantation. Six patients achieved complete response (CR), with a median time to CR of 56 days. Five patients achieved partial response (PR), and the median time to PR was 43 days. Seven patients were considered to have no response (NR). The overall response (OR) rate was 61.1%, and the cumulative incidence (CI) of OR was 90.2%. No patients developed herombopag-associated grade 3-4 toxicity. The median follow-up period was 6.5 months. Twelve patients survived and six patients died, with an overall survival rate of 66.7%. This is the first study to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of herombopag in transplantation-associated thrombocytopenia after failing eltrombopag, introducing a new approach in the treatment of PT following allo-HSCT.

Near-infrared dual-response fluorescent probe for detection of N2H4 and intracellular viscosity changes in biological samples and various water samples.

N2H4 is a common raw material used in the production of pesticides and has good water solubility, so it may contaminate water sources and eventually enter living organisms, causing serious health problems. Viscosity is an important indicator of the cellular microenvironment and an early warning signal for many diseases. The high reactivity of hydrazine depletes glutathione (GSH) in hepatocytes, causing oxidative stress ultimately leading to significant changes in intracellular viscosity and even death. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an effective method to detect N2H4 and viscosity in environmental and biological systems. On this basis, we developed two fluorescent probes, BDD and BHD, based on xanthene and 2-benzothiazole acetonitrile. The experimental results show that BHD and BDD have good imaging capabilities for N2H4 in cells, zebrafish and Arabidopsis. BHD and BDD also showed sensitive detection and fluorescence enhancement in the near-infrared region when the intracellular viscosity was changed. Notably, the probe BDD has also successfully imaged N2H4 in a variety of real water samples.

Impurity assessment, development and validation of an RP-HPLC method for the determination of eleven potential impurities of eltrombopag precursor.

Eltrombopag is an oral non-peptide thrombopoietin receptor (TPO-R) agonist indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in patients with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, ITP) or chronic hepatitis C infection and the treatment of severe aplastic anemia. The purpose of this research was to assess the possible impurities that may carry over to eltrombopag from its precursor Eltro-1 (3'-amino-2'-hydroxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid) and to develop a specific analytical method for the determination of these impurities. Eltro-1 samples synthesized by two different synthesis routes were investigated during the evaluation and method development studies. Besides the expected process-related impurities (Eltro-1A - Eltro-1J), e.g., starting materials, intermediates, and/or compounds formed from their further reactions, an unknown impurity detected above 0.10% was identified by LC-MS, synthesized and fully characterized by NMR, MS and FTIR (Eltro-1K). Accordingly, an HPLC-RP method for the determination of eleven impurities (Eltro-1A - Eltro-1K) in Eltro-1 was developed and validated according to ICH Q2. The control limits for impurities in Eltro-1 were set at ≤ 0.15% for Eltro-1A - Eltro-1J and ≤ 1.0% for Eltro-1K based on fate, spike-purge and carryover studies and in accordance with the ICH M7 classification for impurities in drug substance. Eltro-1 and eleven impurities at the specification limit were separated from each other and the diluent peaks with sufficient resolution without interference. Separation was performed on a Waters XBridge C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 µm) at 40 °C with a 10 µL injection volume at a detection wavelength of 220 nm and 15 °C sample temperature. The gradient elution is performed at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min for 40 min with mobile phase A (0.1% orthophosphoric acid in water) and B (acetonitrile) according to the following program: Time (min) / Acetonitrile (%): 0/0, 35/70, 36/0, 40/0. Test and standard solutions were prepared at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL and 1.0 µg/mL, respectively, using a mixture of mobile phase A and acetonitrile (75/25) as diluent. This is the first specific, selective, sensitive, linear, precise, accurate, and robust HPLC method for the determination of Eltro-1A - Eltro-1K in Eltro-1, which showed no significant degradation under thermal stress, photostability (UV and VIS), and standard accelerated and long-term stability conditions.

A novel dual-responsive colorimetric/fluorescent probe for the detection of N2H4 and ClO- and its application in environmental analysis and bioimaging.

Hydrazine (N2H4) and hypochlorite (ClO-) are both reactive chemical substances extensively utilized across various industrial domains. Excessive hydrazine (N2H4) and hypochlorite (ClO-) can pose significant risks to the environment, ecosystems, and human health. In order to assess and control the environmental hazard caused by N2H4 and ClO-, there is an imperative need for efficient methods capable of rapid and precise detection of these contaminants. This paper introduces a novel dual-responsive colorimetric/fluorescent probe (MDT) for the detection of N2H4 and ClO- in environmental and biological samples. The probe exhibits turn-on fluorescent responses to N2H4 or ClO- with low detection limits (N2H4: 8 nM; ClO-: 15 nM), large Stokes shifts (N2H4: 175 nm; ClO-: 203 nm), short response time (N2H4: 4 min; ClO-: 5 s) and broad pH range (5-10). In practical applications, MDT has been successfully employed in detecting N2H4 and ClO- in water and soil samples from diverse locations. Test strips loaded with MDT offer a visual and convenient means to track N2H4 vapor and quantify N2H4 and ClO- concentrations in solutions. Finally, MDT has been utilized for sensing N2H4 and ClO- in Arabidopsis thaliana roots and living zebrafish. This study presents a promising tool for monitoring N2H4 and ClO- in the environment and living organisms.

Green infant formula analysis: Optimizing headspace solid-phase microextraction of carbonyl compounds associated with lipid peroxidation using GC-MS and pentafluorophenylhydrazine derivatization.

The refinement and optimization of a method combining headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was successfully performed for the first time to determine seven carbonyl and dicarbonyl compounds, including glyoxal, methylglyoxal, dimethylglyoxal, and malondialdehyde in infant formulae, related to lipid peroxidation. HS-SPME was utilized for simultaneous extraction and derivatization with pentafluorophenylhydrazine (PFPH). Critical parameters such as temperature, pH, extractive phase, and salting-out were meticulously investigated and fine-tuned by an asymmetrical 2232//9 screening design to ensure the method's efficacy and reliability. Optimal conditions included a PFPH concentration of 5 g/L, pH 5.0, head-space extraction at 60 °C within 10 min, utilizing a DVB/CAR/PDMS coating, and a 20% w/w salting-out. The analytical validation of this method, compliant with FDA guidelines, demonstrated exceptional linearity, sensitivity, specificity, precision (RSD ≤13.8%), and accuracy (84.8% ≤ recovery ≤111.5%). The metric approach AGREEprep confirms its eco-friendliness, marking a significant step towards an environmentally conscious approach in infant formula analysis. An occurrence study conducted on 25 infant formula samples revealed widespread carbonyl and dicarbonyl compounds in both powdered and liquid variants. ANOVA results exhibited variations in compound concentrations among different sample groups. Clustering analyses delineated distinct groups based on carbonyl content, indicating the potential of these compounds as markers for lipid peroxidation and food quality assessment. This method serves as a valuable tool for evaluating infant formula quality, stability towards oxidation, and safety.
