Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) is used as diagnostic biomarker for inflammation/infection. In this work, 10 ionic liquids (ILs) and 11 ionic liquids active pharmaceutical ingredients (ILs-APIs) were tested to evaluate the inhibition effect on the activity of porcine pancreatic elastase enzyme, frequently employed as a model for HNE. The insertion of ionic liquids in some drugs is useful, as the insertion of ILs with inhibitory capacity will also slow down all processes in which this enzyme is involved. Therefore, a spectrophotometric method was performed to the determination of EC50 values of the compounds tested. EC50 values of 124 ± 4 mM to 289 ± 11 mM were obtained, with the most toxic IL for elastase being tetrabutylammonium acetate and the least toxic 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate. Moreover, sodium salicylate (raw material) presented the lower and benzethonium bistriflimide the higher EC50 when compared with all the IL-APIs tested. This work provides significant information about the effect of the studied IL and IL-APIs in elastase enzyme activity.

A simple, rapid and accurate high performance liquid chromatography method is described for simultaneous determination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate from active pharmaceutical ingredients. The separation of drug was achieved on Hypersil BDS C18 (150 x 4.6 mm i.d.) with 5 µ particle size column showed most favorable chromatographic pattern over the other columns. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of buffer and methanol (85:15 % v/v). The buffer was mixtures of 0.1 % (v/v) ortho-phosphoric acid solution adjusted the pH 3.5 with tri-ethyl amine. The detection was carried out at wavelength 260 nm. The mixture of buffer of pH 3.5 and methanol (85:15% v/v) was used as a diluent. The method was validated for system suitability, linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, stability of sample solution. The method has been successfully used to analyze emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate from active pharmaceutical ingredients.
