Quantification of Arbutin and its degradation products, hydroquinone and p-Benzoquinone, in hyperpigmentation topical formulation: Effect of extraction procedure and interference assessment

The utilization of Hydroquinone (HQ) in over-the-counter skincare items is subject to restrictions. Consequently, Arbutin (AR) serves as a reliable alternative for addressing hyperpigmentation in non-prescription topical formulations. Nevertheless, AR undergoes decomposition into HQ and p-Benzoquinone (BZ) when exposed to temperature stress, ultraviolet light, or dilution in an acidic environment, all of which can induce skin toxicity. The intention of this paper is to investigate the effect of extraction procedure on the conversion of AR to HQ and or BZ and to evaluate kinetics of AR hydrolysis to HQ. Meanwhile this study aims to evaluate AR and BZ interference with the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) identification and assessment method for HQ Hydrolytic stress during extraction conditions underwent optimization through systematic screening tests. Subsequent assessment of the residual drug and its degradation products were achieved by HPLC method. The resulting data were meticulously fitted to various kinetic models. To analyze the potential interference of AR in HQ measurement using USP method, the standard concentrations of AR and HQ were analyzed through UV–VIS spectrophotometry. For enhanced certainty, a validated HPLC method analysis was also conducted. Notably, the acid hydrolysis of AR exhibited independence from its initial concentration. So, the hydrolytic degradation of AR exhibited a Zero-order kinetic profile. Furthermore, the proven interference of AR in the UV–VIS spectrophotometry method was identified within the context of the USP method. This study successfully utilized an adopted HPLC method for the concurrent quantification of AR, HQ, and BZ. The potential interference of AR in the UV–VIS spectrophotometric assay for HQ may lead to false results especially for regulatory purposes.

An indicator color chart for quick detection of Pigment Red 53 in cosmetic products in Indonesia.

Pigment Red 53 is a dangerous synthetic dye that is often added to cosmetics, even though its use in cosmetic products has been prohibited because of possible impacts on health. Faster and more sensitive detection of Pigment Red 53 is needed for onsite analysis to protect the community from illegal cosmetics that contain the dye. Indicator color charts are a kind of analytical method that can be used to detect Pigment Red 53 in cosmetic products, including lipstick, rouge, and eyeshadow. Such charts are practical, fast, and can be used for onsite analysis. In this study, an indicator for Pigment Red 53 detection was obtained through a reagent reaction that caused a specific color change. An indicator color chart was then produced by setting out in paper form the series of colors which resulted from the reaction of specific chemical reagents and Pigment Red 53 solutions at concentrations of 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 ppm. The testing results showed that the indicator color chart may be used as an initial screening method for the detection of Pigment Red 53 in cosmetic products with a detectable minimum concentration of 10 ppm. Out of nine samples, only one (Eyeshadow 3) tested positive for Pigment Red 53. Further analysis was carried out on the indicator color chart and the results showed good agreement with TLC and UV-Vis spectrophotometry methods. The results reported in this paper demonstrate that the indicator color chart is a good prospective method for onsite analysis to detect Pigment Red 53 in cosmetic samples, with a lower detection limit compared to polymer-based indicators.

Atomically-dispersed manganese anchored on B,N co-doped carbon for the sensitive electrochemical detection of levodopa

Metal single-atom catalysts offer the dual advantages of high electrochemical activity and near 100 % metal atom utilization, leading to their potential use in low-cost electrochemical sensor development. Herein, a novel electrocatalyst comprising atomically-dispersed Mn on B,N co-doped bamboo-derived carbon (MnSAs-BN-BC) was synthesized via a facile pyrolysis procedure. A high dispersion of Mn single atoms in MnSAs-BN-BC was confirmed by aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy and elemental mapping. The Mn loading in the MnSAs-BN-BC determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was 255 mg kg−1. MnSAs-BN-BC displayed outstanding electrocatalytic performance for levodopa (LD) oxidation, allowing a robust electrochemical sensing platform for LD detection to be established. The MnSAs-BN-BC/GCE sensing platform offered a wide LD detection range (concentrations from 2 to 683 µM) and a very low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.45 µM, outperforming almost all electrochemical sensors reported to date for LD sensing. The MnSAs-BN-BC/GCE platform also featured outstanding repeatability, reproducibility, selectivity, and stability. The as-developed sensing platform was successfully applied to LD quantification in commercial tablets with satisfactory recoveries (85.2–102.4 %), with the analytical precision of method validated against a traditional UV–vis spectrophotometry method. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that Mn single atom sites lowered the reaction energy barrier for LD oxidation, with the favorable d-band center position of Mn single atom sites in MnSAs-BN-BC contributing to the enhanced LD sensing performance. This work encourages the use of single-atom metal catalysts in design of high-performance electrochemical sensors for the rapid detection of LD.

Validation of spectrophotometric and colorimetric methods to quantify clindamycin in skin tissue: application to in vitro release and ex vivo dermatokinetic studies from separable effervescent microarray patch loaded bacterially sensitive microparticle.

Diabetes mellitus can cause diabetic foot infection (DFI) complications. DFI is generally caused by infection from bacteria and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which is resistant to several antibiotics. Application therapy of clindamycin (CLY) administration with the oral route has low bioavailability and non-selective distribution of antibiotics towards bacteria intravenously. In this research, CLY was developed into bacterially sensitive microparticles (MPs) which were further incorporated into a separable effervescent microarray patch (SEMAP) system to increase the selective and responsive to DFI-causing bacteria of CLY. To support this formulation, we explore the potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) towards the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method. The analytical method was validated in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), tryptic soy broth (TSB), and skin tissue to quantify CLY, CLY loaded in microparticle, and SEMAP system. The developed analytical method was suitable for the acceptance criteria of ICH guidelines. The results showed that the correlation coefficients were linear ≥ 0.999. The values of LLOQ towards PBS, TSB, and skin tissue were 2.02µg/mL, 4.29µg/mL, and 2.31µg/mL, respectively. These approaching methods were also found to be accurate and precise without being affected by dilution integrity. The presence of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria culture can produce lipase enzymes that can lysing the microparticle matrix. Drug release studies showed that bacterial infection in the high drug release microparticle sensitive bacteria and high drug retention in ex vivo dermatokinetic in rat skin tissue media. In addition, in vivo studies were required to quantify the CLY inside in further analytical validation methods.
