In the recent advancements in identification of plant species, phytoliths have found an immense role in the identification of plants at different levels of taxonomic hierarchy. Many plant groups are known to accumulate silica in solid form in and between the cells and tissues and hence create the structures commonly known as phytoliths. These phytoliths create replicas of the structures where they are deposited. The shapes of phytolith replicas, their size dimensions (morphometric parameters), surface features (ornamentation), distribution, and orientation pattern in epidermal layers of vegetative and reproductive structures as well as their frequency are highly important for characterization of species. Monocotyledonous families particularly the family Poaceae (Gramineae) are known to produce diverse phytolith types that can serve as diagnostic markers for characterization of different taxa at different levels of taxonomic hierarchy. The present paper highlights the importance of phytoliths in taxonomic analysis of plants particularly in the family Poaceae.

During drug development, it is important to have a suitable crystalline form of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Mostly, the basic options originate in the form of free base, acid, or salt. Substances that are stable only within a certain pH range are a challenge for the formulation. For the prazoles, which are known to be sensitive to degradation in an acid environment, the formulation is stabilized with alkaline additives or with the application of API formulated as basic salts. Therefore, preparation and characterization of basic salts are needed to monitor any possible salinization of free molecules. We synthesized salts of omeprazole from the group of alkali metals (Li, Na, and K) and alkaline earth metals (Mg, Ca). The purpose of the presented work is to demonstrate the applicability of vibrational spectroscopy to discriminate between the OMP and OMP-salt molecules. For this reason, the physicochemical properties of 5 salts were probed using infrared and Raman spectroscopy, NMR, TG, DSC, and theoretical calculation of vibrational frequencies. We found out that vibrational spectroscopy serves as an applicable spectroscopic tool which enables an accurate, quick, and nondestructive way to determine the characteristic of OMP and its salts.

As the drug safety and efficacy is hampered in the presence of an impurity, the international regulatory agencies laid down stringent limits for the control of impurities in the active pharmaceutical ingredient and pharmaceutical formulations. The conventional approaches lack the characterization of impurities in trace levels, due to sensitivity issues, hyphenated techniques are preferred. Among the modern hyphenated techniques, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has high sensitivity and can analyze large number of organic compounds in a short period of time. In the present study, the impurity profiling of various drug substances and products using LC-MS about past 6 years were retrospect for its importance, instrumentations, and applications.

Indacaterol (IND), 5-[2-[(5,6-Diethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl)amino]-1-hydroxyethyl]-8-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one, is an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) which is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We followed the International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guide lines to study the degradation behavior of IND under various stress conditions. Stressed degradation of the drug was performed under hydrolytic (alkaline, acidic and neutral), photolytic, oxidative and thermal conditions. Identification and characterization of IND and its forced degradation products (DPs) were demonstrated by using LC-HRMS and MS/MS method. A total of three DPs (DP1-DP3) were identified and characterized. The IND was found to be stable under photolytic, oxidative and thermal conditions, whereas it produced three DPs in acidic, basic and neutral hydrolytic stress conditions.
