Article Abstract

Objective: Peroxides in pharmaceutical products and excipients pose risks by oxidizing drug molecules, leading to potential toxicity and reduced efficacy. Accurate peroxide quantification is essential to ensure product safety and potency. This study explores the use of quantitative proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H qNMR) spectroscopy as a sensitive and specific method for quantifying peroxide levels in pharmaceutical excipients.

Methods: H qNMR spectroscopy was employed to measure peroxide levels down to 0.1 ppm in excipients, focusing on poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and polyvinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate (PVPVA). Different grades and vendors were analyzed, and the impact of various manufacturing processes on hydrogen peroxide content was examined.

Results: Peroxide levels varied among different grades of PVP and PVPVA, as well as between vendors. Furthermore, manufacturing processes influenced the hydrogen peroxide content in selected excipients. These variations highlight the importance of controlling peroxide levels in raw materials and during production.

Conclusions: H qNMR spectroscopy is a valuable tool for accurately quantifying peroxide levels in pharmaceutical excipients. The study emphasizes the need for regular monitoring of peroxide content to ensure the stability, quality, and safety of excipients and drug products. Accurate peroxide measurement can prevent oxidative degradation, preserving both the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical formulations.

Dietary n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) balance critically modulates various physiological processes, including inflammation and cell death. This study investigated the effects of different n-6 PUFA ratios (1:1, 5:1, 10:1, 20:1) on ferroptosis in porcine IPEC-J2 intestinal epithelial cells. Cells treated with varying PUFA ratios showed a significant reduction in cell viability, which was alleviated by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (fer-1).

Nitrogen (N) fixation with non-thermal plasmas has been proposed as a sustainable alternative to meet growing N fertilizer demands for agriculture. This technology generates Plasma Activated Water (PAW) with a range of chemical compositions, including different concentrations of nitrate (NO₃⁻) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), among other compounds. Potential use of PAW as an effective crop fertilizer necessitates a robust understanding of the underlying biology of the plant, which is not yet available.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been emerging as versatile reticular materials due to their tunable structures and functionalities, enabled by precise molecular engineering at the atomic level. While the integration of multiple components into COFs has substantially expanded their structural complexity, the strategic engineering of diverse functionalities within a single framework the random distribution of linkers with varying lengths remains largely unexplored. Here, we report a series of highly crystalline mixed-length multivariate COFs synthesized using azobenzene and bipyridine as linkers, where tuning the ratio of linkers and incorporating palladium effectively modulates the balance between near-infrared (NIR) light absorption and catalytic sites for NIR-generation of hydrogen peroxide (HO).

Disinfectant wipes are widely used to reduce microbial contamination on surfaces, yet there is limited information on how viruses are physically removed or chemically inactivated during wiping. This study aimed to address this gap by comparing the contributions of physical removal and chemical inactivation to overall disinfection efficacy. Glass and vinyl coupons were contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 surrogates, bovine coronavirus (BCoV), or human coronavirus OC43, at an initial titer of 5-6 log TCID/surface with 5% soil load.
