Sixteen capillary electrophoresis applications for viral vaccine analysis

A broad range of CE applications from our organization is reviewed to give a flavor of the use of CE within the field of vaccine analyses. Applicability of CE for viral vaccine characterization, and release and stability testing of seasonal influenza virosomal vaccines, universal subunit influenza vaccines, Sabin inactivated polio vaccines (sIPV), and adenovirus vector vaccines were demonstrated. Diverse CZE, CE-SDS, CGE, and cIEF methods were developed, validated, and applied for virus, protein, posttranslational modifications, DNA, and excipient concentration determinations, as well as for the integrity and composition verifications, and identity testing (e.g., CZE for intact virus particles, CE-SDS application for hemagglutinin quantification and influenza strain identification, chloride or bromide determination in process samples). Results were supported by other methods such as RP-HPLC, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potential measurements. Overall, 16 CE methods are presented that were developed and applied, comprising six adenovirus methods, five viral protein methods, and methods for antibodies determination of glycans, host cell-DNA, excipient chloride, and process impurity bromide. These methods were applied to support in-process control, release, stability, process- and product characterization and development, and critical reagent testing. Thirteen methods were validated. Intact virus particles were analyzed at concentrations as low as 0.8 pmol/L. Overall, CE took viral vaccine testing beyond what was previously possible, improved process and product understanding, and, in total, safety, efficacy, and quality.

Organic heterocyclic-based colorimetric and fluorimetric chemosensors for the detection of different analytes: a review (from 2015 to 2022)

Heterocyclic organic compounds, also called heterocycles, are any major class of organic compounds having at least one atom other than carbon in the ring. Due to their excellent electronic and structural features, these compounds exhibit a wide range of biological and nonbiological applications. Among these, indole, benzimidazole, benzothiazole, and benzoxazole are versatile organic heterocyclic compounds widely used in different fields. They show a wide range of applications in polymer, coordination chemistry, pharmacy, dyes, food packages, medicine, and industries. These compounds contain heteroatoms like S-, N-, and O-, through which they interact with metal ions, anions, and neutral species, giving measurable analytical signals that can be used as fluorimetric and colorimetric chemosensors for detecting different analytes in biological, agricultural and environmental samples. This review summarizes indole, benzimidazole, benzothiazole, and benzoxazole-based fluorimetric and colorimetric chemosensors for detecting metal ions, anions, and neutral species. Furthermore, the recognition mechanisms have been discussed in detail, which could help researchers to design efficient, highly selective, and sensitive chemosensors to recognize and determine heavy metal cations.

Density, viscosity, and surface tension of three binary liquid systems: ethanoic acid+nitrobenzene, propanoic acid+nitrobenzene, and butanoic acid+nitrobenzene have been determined at 25, 35, and 45°C, over the whole composition range. The excess molar volumes, viscosities, Gibbs energies for the activation of flow, and surface tension were evaluated and fitted to a Redlich-Kister type of equation. The Grunberg-Nissan parameter d was also calculated. Binary viscosity data were fitted to the models of McAllister, Heric, Krishnan, and Laddha, Auslander, and Teja and Rice. Surface tension data were fitted to the models of Zihao and Jufu, Rice, and Teja, and an empirical two-constant model.     

Simultaneous determination of caffeine, 8-chlorotheophylline, and chlorphenoxamine hydrochloride in ternary mixtures by ratio-spectra zero-crossing first-derivative spectrophotometric and chemometric methods

A ratio-spectra zero-crossing first-derivative spectrophotometric method and 2 chemometric methods have been used for the simultaneous determination of ternary mixtures of caffeine (A), 8-chlorotheophylline (B), and chlorphenoxamine hydrochloride (C) in bulk powder and dosage forms. In the ratio-spectra zero-crossing first-derivative spectrophotometric technique (1DD), calibration curves were linear in the range of 4-20 microg/mL for A, B, and C (r = 0.9992, 0.9994, and 0.9976, respectively). The measurements were carried out at 212, 209.2, and 231.4 nm for A, B, and C, respectively. The detection limits for A, B, and C were calculated to be 0.24, 0.34, and 0.13 microg/mL, and the percentage recoveries were 99.1 +/- 0.89, 100.1 +/- 0.95, and 100.1 +/- 1.0, respectively. Two chemometric methods, namely, the partial least-squares (PLS) model and the principal component regression (PCR) model, were also used for the simultaneous determination of the 3 drugs in the ternary mixture. A training set consisting of 15 mixtures containing different ratios of A, B, and C was used. The concentration used for the construction of the PLS and PCR models varied between 4 and 25 microg/mL for each drug. These models were used after their validation for the prediction of the concentrations of A, B, and C in mixtures. The detection limits for A, B, and C were calculated to be 0.13, 0.15, and 0.14 microg/mL, respectively, and the percent recoveries were found to be 99.8 micro 0.96, 99.9 micro 0.94, and 99.9 micro 1.18, respectively, for both methods. The 3 proposed procedures are rapid, simple, sensitive, and accurate. No preliminary separation steps or resolution equations are required; thus, they can be applied to the simultaneous determination of the 3 drugs in commercial tablets and suppositories or in quality-control laboratories.     

High-performance column liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of buclizine, tryptophan, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin in tablets and oral suspension

An HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of buclizine, tryptophan, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin in pharmaceutical formulations. The chromatographic separation was carried out on an RP-C18 column using a mobile phase gradient of methanol, 0.015 M phosphate buffer (pH 3.0), and 0.03 M phosphoric acid at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and UV detection at 230, 280, and 360 nm, respectively, for buclizine, tryptophan, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin. The method validation yielded good results with respect to linearity (r>0.999), specificity, precision, accuracy, and robustness. The RSD values for intraday and interday precision were below 1.82 and 0.63%, respectively, and recoveries ranged from 98.11 to 101.95%. The method was successfully applied for the QC analysis of buclizine, tryptophan, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin in tablets and oral suspension.     

Polymer-surfactant and protein-surfactant interactions

The phase behavior and some physicochemical properties of homopolymers (HP) and hydrophobically modified (HMP) polymers, as well as of polyelectrolytes (PE) and proteins (PR), in the presence of aqueous surfactants, or their mixtures, are discussed. Mixing the above components gives rise to the formation of organized phases, whose properties are controlled by polymer and/or surfactant content, temperature, pH, and ionic strength. Depending on the nature, concentration, and net charge of both solutes, molecular solutions, polymer-surfactant complexes, adsorption onto micelles and vesicles, gels, liquid crystalline phases, and precipitates are observed. Such rich polymorphic behavior is the result of a complex balance between electrostatic, excluded volume, van der Waals, and other contributions to overall system stability. It is also modulated by the molecular details and architecture of both the polymer and the surfactant. Different experimental methods allow investigation of the above systems and getting information on the nature of polymer-surfactant interactions (PSI). Surface adsorption and thermodynamic methods, together with investigation of the phase diagrams, give information on the forces controlling PSI and on the existence of different phases. Conductivity, QELS and viscosity allow estimating the size and shape of polymer-surfactant (protein-surfactant) complexes. Optical microscopy, cryo-TEM, AFM, NMR, fluorescence, and relaxation methods give more information on the above systems. Use of the above mixtures in controlling gelation, surface covering, preparing dielectric layers, and drug release is suggested.

Changes in Whey Proteome between Mediterranean and Murrah Buffalo Colostrum and Mature Milk Reflect Their Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Value

Milk represents an integrated meal for newborns; its whey protein is rich in many health beneficial components and proteins. The current study aimed to investigate the differences between colostrum and mature milk from Mediterranean and Murrah buffaloes using labeled proteomics and bioinformatics tools. In the current work, LC-MS/MS analysis led to identification of 780 proteins from which 638 were shared among three independent TMT experiments. The significantly changed proteins between the studied types were analyzed using gene ontology enrichment and KEGG pathways, and their interactions were generated using STRING database. Results indicated that immunological, muscular development and function, blood coagulation, heme related, neuronal, translation, metabolic process, and binding proteins were the main terms. Overall, colostrum showed higher levels of immunoglobulins, myosins, actin, neurofascin, syntaxins, thyroglobulins, and RNA-binding proteins, reflecting its importance in the development and activity of immunological, muscular, cardiac, neuronal, and thyroid systems, while lactoferrin and ferritin were increased in mature milk, highlighting its role in iron storage and hemoglobin formation.
