    <jats:p>The aim of this work was to develop a single, generally applicable high performance liquid chromatography/diode array detector (HPLC/DAD) method for simultaneous determination of the most frequently used cough and cold active substances and their impurities that would be applicable for a number of possible formulation compositions of cough and cold medicines. The compounds that are separated by the method include eleven active substances: paracetamol, phenylephrine HCl, caffeine, ibuprofen, ascorbic acid, propiphenazone, pheniramine maleate, chlorphenamine maleate, pseudoephedrine HCl, dextromethorphan HBr and cetylpyridinium Cl; five of their impurities: 4-aminophenol, 4-nitrophenol, 4`-chloroacetanilide, chlorphenamine impurity C and ephedrine HCl; and two preservatives: sodium benzoate and propyl parahydroxybenzoate. All 18 compounds were successfully separated on a reversed phase (RP)-HPLC column with superficially porous particles using gradient elution with a very simple mobile phase in 14 minutes with excellent sensitivity and resolution. Method optimization was performed by the design of experiments approach. The proposed method has been validated according to ICH guidelines and proved to be suitable for the simultaneous qualitative and quantitative determination of the selected compounds in different cough and cold dosage forms. Keywords: cough and cold active substances and impurities, HPLC/DAD, superficially porous particles, core-shell particles, chemometrics, design of experiments</jats:p>

    Effect of prebiotic content on functional and physicochemical properties of Lactobacillus casei loaded chitosan-Ca-alginate microparticles

    <jats:p>This study aims to evaluate the influence of different concentrations of fructooligosaccharide (FOS) as prebiotic on functional and physicochemical properties of Lactobacillus casei loaded chitosan-Ca-alginate microparticles prepared by spray-drying method, after preparation and 6-month storage at 4 °C. Prebiotic compound positively influenced the viability of L. casei during preparation of the microparticles and in storage conditions, while no significant difference of the probiotic viability was observed when different concentrations of FOS in a range of 1.5 - 5% w/w were applied. Having in regard that non-significant improvement in the functional and physicochemical properties of the microparticles with increased content of the FOS was observed, the concentration of 1.5% w/w was recommended as an optimal for preparation of synbiotic loaded microparticles.</jats:p>

    Synthesis, physicochemical characterization and antibacterial activity of novel (benzoylamino)methyl derivatives of quinolones

    <jats:p>Herein we report the synthesis of different derivatives of (fluoro)quinolones norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin and pipemidic acid, by incorporating (benzoylamino)methyl on the free nitrogen of the pyperazinyl moiety. The compounds were structurally characterized by 1D and 2D NMR, FTIR and high-resolution mass spectroscopy. In addition, their physicochemical properties were a matter of interest to be correlated with their structure and antimicrobial activity<em> in vitro</em>. Their antimicrobial activities were screened against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and <em>C. albicans</em>. Higher distribution coefficients and consequently lower water solubility were determined for all synthesized compounds than the ones of the corresponding leading compounds. Inconsequential correlations between the lipophilicity of the compounds and MIC were observed, suggesting that passive diffusion is not the only mechanism for their penetration into bacterial cells. Further studies are needed to determine how substitutions in the (fluoro)quinolone moiety affect the primary target(s), substrate behavior in respect to bacterial transporters and overall bioavailability.</jats:p>
