A comparative Study of Different Electrodeposited NiCo2O4 microspheres anchored on a Reduced Graphene Oxide Platform: Electrochemical Sensor for Anti-Depressant Drug Venlafaxine

Research Abstract
Two different fabrication methods were performed and compared for preparation of binary metallic oxide microstructures supported on a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) modified graphite electrode. Nickel–Cobalt oxide microspheres (NiCo2O4 MSs) were prepared by two different deposition methods: wet chemical and in situ-electrical deposited methods. Different characterization methods were conducted, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning emission microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Raman spectroscopy. The deposition methods of NiCo2O4 MSs were found to affect the electrochemical behavior of the modified electrodes towards the oxidation of venlafaxine (VEN), an antidepressant drug. The fabricated electrode showed linearity over the range 5–500 nmol L_1 and an excellent sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 3.4 and 10.3 nmol L_1, respectively. It was revealed that the wet-NiCo2O4@rGO modified electrode prepared by the wet chemical method showed an improved electrochemical behavior for determination of VEN in pharmaceuticals and human plasma with high recovery results in the range of 96.7–98.6% and 96.0–100.7%, respectively without any interference from the co-existing components.

Hantzsch Reaction Approach for Determination of Teicoplanin and Vancomycin in Real Human Plasma: Application to Pharmaceutical Preparations and to Synthetic Mixture with Rifampicin for Drug-Resistant Strain of Staphylococcus aureus

Research Abstract
Teicoplanin (TEIC) and vancomycin hydrochloride (VAN) are glycopeptide antimicrobial drugs against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-positive organisms. So, simple, quick, cost-effective and ultrasensitive spectrofluorimetric method was developed and bio-analytically validated for assay of TEIC and VAN. The proposed method is based on the reaction of acetylacetone with primary amine moiety in the presence of formaldehyde producing highly fluorogenic product measured at 485 nm (λex at 420 nm). The calibration range was constructed from (50–400 ng mL−1) and (70–800 ng mL−1) for TEIC and VAN, respectively. The presented method exhibited low LOD (7.04 and 3.55 ng mL−1) and LOQ (21.33 and 10.77 ng mL−1) values for TEIC and VAN, respectively. The presented method was effectively applied to determine TEIC and VAN in real human plasma with percentage of recovery ranged from 95.57 ± 2.06% to 97.43 ± 1.66% for the studied drugs. Also, the developed method was applied for the first time to study synthetic mixtures of the studied drugs with rifampicin (RIF), as a combination therapy to treat drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus without interferences from RIF. The synthetic mixtures of TEIC or VAN with RIF were prepared in three different ratios in order to measure the stability of the studied drugs TEIC or VAN in presence of RIF in pure forms and human plasma.

Synthesis, anti-inflammatory and molecular docking of some new 1,2,4-triazolobenzimidazol-3-yl acetone thiosemicarbazone cyclized derivatives as PLA-2 inhibitors

Research Abstract
The present work is carried out for the synthesis and evaluation of some new 1,3,4-thiadiazolines, 1,3-thiazolines and 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones linked to 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]benzimidazole as anti-inflammatory agents. Structure elucidation of these compounds was confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, and mass spectrometry along with elemental microanalyses. All new compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory activity in comparison to indomethacin (INM) where some of them showed promising results comparable to INM at 4 hours interval. The most active anti-inflammatory compounds (4b, 8c and 9a) were examined on gastric mucosa and didn’t show any gastric ulcerogenic effect compared with the reference INM. Moreover, LD50 of compounds (4b and 9a) were determined in mice; they were found non toxic up to 400 mg Kg–1 (i.p.). Also, docking simulation of some compounds into PLA2 active sites was studied.
