    <jats:p>Increased awareness of nature preservation has encouraged the introduction of the green analytical chemistry (GAC) practice concepts concerning several important aspects, including sustainable development, environmental impact, and minimum waste. The aim of this research was to contribute to the implementation of this approach for the pharmaceutical industry while retaining the crucial aspects and strict requirements of quality control of medicines. Therefore, an ethanolbased, green and robust high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of related substances of amlodipine (AML) in film-coated tablets was developed and optimized using the Design of Experiments (DoE). The chromatographic separation was performed on an RP-select B column (250 x 4.0 mm, 5 mm), using a mixture of 0.04 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate (pH 4.0) and ethanol (60:40 % v/v) as a mobile phase. The optimized conditions provided the separation of two specified impurities (impurity D and impurity F). The selectivity of the method was confirmed using forced degradation studies. The Analytical Eco-scale approach and AGREE metrics confirmed that the method conforms to the GAC principles. The validated method was successfully applied for the determination of related substances in three samples from the market, demonstrating the applicability of the method in routine analysis.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>The complex structure of medicines containing polypeptide active substances requires the implementation of challenging analytical approaches, based on physicochemical methods, and, where necessary, biological assays for quality control, as well as for the detection of substandard and falsified products. Vibrational spectroscopic techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, are fast, powerful, and non-destructive techniques which, when combined with multivariate chemometric modelling, can provide specific identification, quantitative determination, and insight into the secondary structure of proteins and peptides. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of using Raman spectroscopy as a screening method for quantification of pharmaceutical products containing active substances with polypeptide structures. For that purpose, a model based on partial least square (PLS) analysis for quantitative determination of insulin aspart in solution was developed using Raman spectroscopy. The proposed model enables the establishment of a rapid approach for screening of the quality of formulations containing active substances with polypeptide structure, providing the selection of suspected samples that should be further analysed using routine techniques, which are time-consuming and costly.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>A series of 21 novel coumarin–triazole–isatin hybrids was synthesized and evaluated for their potential as multitarget agents in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The compounds featured variations in alkyl linker length that connects coumarin and triazole and substitution at the 5-position of the isatin ring. Several derivatives showed potent butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition with selectivity over acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The lead compound, 6c1, exhibited strong BChE inhibition (IC50 = 1.74 μM), surpassing donepezil. Enzyme kinetics revealed a mixed-type mechanism, while molecular docking studies confirmed dual binding at catalytic and peripheral sites. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis highlighted the influence of linker flexibility and steric/electronic effects of substituents. The observed BChE selectivity, combined with favorable in vitro profiles, identifies these hybrids as promising leads for AD drug development.</jats:p>
