LC–MS/MS Determination of Antihypertension Drugs in Rat Plasma and Urine: Applications to Pharmacokinetics

A sensitive, rapid and reproducible LC–MS/MS method for the determination of olmesartan (OLM), amlodipine (ALM) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCZ) in rat plasma and urine has been developed and validated. Irbesartan (IRB) was used as an internal standard. The analytes were separated on a Waters XTerra-C₁₈ column using gradient elution with acetonitrile and 10 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 3.5, adjusted with acetic acid) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min^?1. The three analytes were ionized by positive ion electrospray using multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode to monitor precursor?→?product ion transitions m/z 447.31?→?234.97 for OLM, 408.87?→?238.18 for AML and 290.1?→?204.85 for HCZ. The specificity, matrix effect, recovery, sensitivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and stabilities were all validated over the concentration range 0.4–100 ng mL^?1 for AML, 0.2–100 ng mL^?1 for OLM, 0.1–100 ng mL^?1 for HCZ. The mean concentrations (C_max) are 10.32, 587, and 3.4 for OLM, ALM, and HCZ, respectively, by the oral administration of 15 mg kg^?1 of each analyte.     

Production and Optimization of Physicochemical Parameters of Cellulase Using Untreated Orange Waste by Newly Isolated <Emphasis Type="Italic">Emericella variecolor</Emphasis> NS3

Cellulase enzymes have versatile industrial applications. This study was directed towards the isolation, production, and characterization of cellulase enzyme system. Among the five isolated fungal cultures, Emericella variecolor NS3 showed maximum cellulase production using untreated orange peel waste as substrate using solid-state fermentation (SSF). Maximum enzyme production of 31 IU/gds (per gram of dry substrate) was noticed at 6.0 g concentration of orange peel. Further, 50 °C was recorded as the optimum temperature for cellulase activity and the thermal stability for 240 min was observed at this temperature. In addition, the crude enzyme was stable at pH 5.0 and held its complete relative activity in presence of Mn²⁺ and Fe³⁺. This study explored the production of crude enzyme system using biological waste with future potential for research and industrial applications.     

Stability-indicating high-performance column liquid chromatography and high-performance thin-layer chromatography methods for the determination of olopatadine hydrochloride in tablet dosage form

This paper describes two simple, specific, accurate, and precise methods for estimation of olopatadine hydrochloride (OLO) in tablet dosage form. The first method is a stability-indicating isocratic RP-HPLC method. The analysis is performed on an RP-18 column using 0.1% orthophosphoric acid (adjusted to pH 4.5 with triethylamine)-acetonitrile (75 + 25, v/v) mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Paracetamol (PAR) was selected as the internal standard. Retention times of OLO and PAR were 11.30 +/- 0.02 and 4.70 +/- 0.03 min, respectively. For the HPTLC method, precoated silica gel 60 F254 aluminum sheets were used as the stationary phase; the mobile phase was methanol-chloroform-ammonia (8 + 2 + 0.1, v/v/v). The detection of the analyte band was carried out at 301 nm, and its Rf value was 0.46 +/- 0.03. The analytical methods were validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. Linear regression analysis data for the calibration plots showed a good linear relationship between response and concentration in the range of 0.1-1 microg/mL and 0.1-0.9 microg/band for HPLC and HPTLC, respectively.
