Abstract
The rapid and accurate detection of drug molecules in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples is of paramount importance. In this research article, we present a novel colorimetric sensor based on carbon dots decorated silver nanoparticles (CDs/AgNPs) for the rapid detection of ketotifen (KTF), a widely used antihistamine drug. The CDs were synthesized via a facile one-step microwave-assisted method and subsequently conjugated onto AgNPs through a simple adsorption process, forming a stable CDs/AgNPs composite. The resulting composite exhibited unique optical properties, including a strong absorption peak at 410 nm with remarkable intensity reduction and color changes upon the addition of KTF. The developed colorimetric sensor exhibited a wide linear range of 3.0-40.0 µg mL-1 (R2 = 0.9996), with a %RSD of 2.41, and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.981 µg mL-1. Furthermore, the sensor's practical applicability was evaluated by successfully detecting KTF in eye drops and artificial aqueous humor, demonstrating a remarkable percentage recovery exceeding 96.0 %. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation of the greenness and blueness of the method was performed using analytical eco-scale, GAPI, AGREEprep, and BAGI tools. The results of these assessments indicate its exceptional sustainability. Overall, the proposed method holds significant potential for applications in pharmaceutical quality control and therapeutic monitoring, contributing to improved patient care and drug safety in the field of ophthalmology.

Abstract
The widespread use of antibiotics in agricultural and animal husbandry to treat bacterial illnesses has resulted in a rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria. These bacteria can grow when antibiotic residues are present in food items, especially in edible animal products. As a result, it is crucial to monitor and regulate the amounts of antibiotics in food. Magnetic analytical extractions (MAEs) have emerged as a potential approach for extracting antibiotic residues from food using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Recent improvements in MAEs have resulted in the emergence of novel MNPs with better selectivity and sensitivity for the extraction of antibiotic residues from food samples. Consequently, this review paper addresses current developments in MAE for extracting antibiotic residues from edible samples. It also provides a critical analysis of contemporary MAE practices. The current issues and potential future developments in this field are also discussed, thereby providing a framework for future study paths.

Abstract
In this work, resveratrol and curcumin, two natural polyphenols, were simultaneously determined in human plasma samples using a rapid, sensitive, green, and affordable synchronous fluorescence spectroscopic approach. Several factors affecting the performance of the procedure, including Δλ, pH, diluting solvent, and organized medium, were optimized. Based on the findings, the fluorescence of resveratrol and curcumin was measured at 304 and 443 nm, respectively, with Δλ of 80.0 nm and ethanol as the diluting solvent. Excellent linearity was demonstrated by the approach (r = 0.9999) over the concentration range of 5.00-1000.00 and 2.00-400.00 ng/mL for resveratrol and curcumin, respectively. The obtained detection limits for resveratrol and curcumin were 0.027 and 0.042 ng/mL, respectively, indicating the high sensitivity of the proposed method. Moreover, the method exhibited excellent precision (both inter and intra-day), with %RSD < 1 %. The "green analytical process index" and "Analytical GREEnness" metric tools were used to compare the green profiles of the proposed method to those of the published methods. These two greenness evaluation tools verified that the suggested methodology satisfied the greatest number of green criteria, proposing its usage as a green alternative for the routine analysis of the investigated natural anticancer polyphenols in human plasma.

The unique properties of DESs include biodegradability, easy preparation, low cost, and tuneability, rendering them a new and prospective alternative to hazardous solvents. Analytical chemistry is one of the most appealing fields where DESs proved to be applicable in either sample preparation or chromatographic separation. This review summarizes the new horizons dedicated to the application of DESs in microextraction and chromatographic separation. The utilization of DESs in microextraction, in chromatography as mobile phase additives, and in chromatographic material preparation processes is outlined. The enhancements in chromatographic performance achieved using DESs and any potential explanations deduced from the experimental findings were primarily discussed. An additional brief discussion on DESs preparation, characterization, and properties is addressed in this work. Finally, current challenges and future trends are also presented, supplying evidence for distinct possibilities regarding new research approaches involving DESs. This review can represent a guide and stimulate further research in this field.

Abstract
A simple, selective, and eco-friendly synchronous fluorescence approach was introduced for the first time for the concurrent estimation of the anticancer combination therapy of bicalutamide and resveratrol. The method relies on measuring the synchronous fluorescence spectra of bicalutamide and resveratrol at 269 and 320 nm, respectively, using Δλ of 60 nm with ethanol as a green diluting solvent. The procedure was optimized, and the method was then fully validated. Excellent linearity (R2 > 0.999) with very low detection limits (0.044 and 2.001 ng/ml) were obtained for both drugs, allowing for their analysis in human plasma. The green profile of the suggested approach was evaluated using the green solvents selecting tool (GSST), spider diagram for greenness index assessment, green analytical process index (GAPI), and Analytical GREEnness (AGREE) metric tools. These assessment metrics confirmed that the developed approach met the maximum number of green requirements, recommending its application as a green substitute for the regular analysis of the concerned drugs in human plasma. The simplicity of sample measurement enables and substantially accelerates the analysis, resulting in lower costs, enhanced procedure accuracy, and lower environmental effect.

Abstract
An eco-friendly dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction mediated with a reverse micelle and coupled to an HPLC-DAD was developed for the simultaneous determination of venlafaxine and agomelatine in dosage forms and human plasma. All the parameters affecting the extraction efficiencies of both drugs were investigated and optimized. Under the optimal conditions, an effective analytes' preconcentration with enrichment factors (EFs) up to 72 was achieved. The linearity of the method was established over the concentration range of 0.50-70.0 and 3.0-100.0 ng/mL for venlafaxine and agomelatine, respectively with good correlation coefficients > 0.998. The method exhibited low detection limits in the range of 0.15-0.89 ng/mL and excellent precisions expressed in %RSD < 3% with average recoveries between 95.0 to 101.0%. The proposed method was employed to analyze the targeted analytes in dosage forms and human plasma samples with favorable characteristics like excellent enrichment, high sensitivity, great accuracy, and high precision. Finally, the greenness of the developed method was assessed using three distinct metric tools, confirming the greenness of the proposed method. The findings of this research could have more general implications for the extraction of other analytes from various matrices.

Abstract
New ternary deep eutectic solvents were prepared and applied as efficient green dispersing solvents in miniaturized matrix solid-phase dispersion to extract chlorophenols from river sediments for the first time. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array detector was used to analyze the target analytes. The significant factors affecting the extraction were optimized as follows: dispersant (100 mg), sample (100 mg), ternary eutectic solvents (150 μl), grinding for 1 min, 450 μl of acetonitrile as the elution solvent, and vortex mixing for 20 s. Under the optimal conditions, the method exhibited excellent linearity (correlation coefficient > 0.9980), low limits of detection between 1.039-2.478 μg/g, and extraction recoveries between 93.9% and 99.2%. Furthermore, the method demonstrated excellent precision in the intra- and inter-day analysis with a relative standard deviation below 6%. When compared to conventional extraction techniques, the miniaturized matrix solid-phase dispersion considerably reduced samples and solvent usag, offering important environmental benefits. The green profile of the method was assessed using the complementary green analytical procedure index tool confirming its eco-friendship. The technique was finally employed to evaluate sediment samples from three distinct locations along the Zuibaiji River, indicating its applicability for monitoring environmental samples.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have recently attracted attention as a promising green alternative to conventional hazardous solvents by virtue of their simple preparation, low cost, and biodegradability. Even though the application of DESs in analytical chemistry is still in its early stages, the number of publications on this topic is growing. Analytical procedures applying dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on the solidification of floating organic droplets (DLLME-SFOD) are among the more appealing approaches where DESs have been found to be applicable. Herein, we provide a summary of the articles that are concerned with the application of DESs in the DLLME-SFOD of target analytes from diverse samples to provide up-to-date knowledge in this area. In addition, the major variables influencing enrichment efficiency and the microextraction mechanism are fully investigated and explained. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of applying DESs in DLLME-SFOD are thoroughly discussed and are critically analyzed.

Abstract
A fast, sensitive and eco-friendly method was developed for the determination of fifteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in different environmental matrices through gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The method utilizes a modified and miniaturized quick easy cheap effective rugged and safe (QuEChERS) clean up procedure coupled to an air-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (AA-DLLME) for the enrichment of the concerned compounds. The AA-DLLME uses diethyl carbonate (DEC) as a green bio-based solvent for the microextraction. DEC is considered as biodegradable (with octanol/water coefficient < 3, resulting in low potential of bioaccumulation), classified as a green solvent and considered as one of the recommended solvent alternatives based on SSG results. The AA-DLLME procedure was optimized by One-Variable-at-A-Time (OVAT) succeeded by experimental design applying Central Composite Face-centered (CCF) design. The method linear calibration was found in the range of 10-120 µg/Kg for Benzo[a]pyrene and 5-100 µg/Kg for all other PAHs with low detection limits ranging from 0.01 to 2.10 µg/Kg. It could enrich the PAHs up to 166-folds. The combination of modified μ-QuEChERS with the green AA-DLLME could sharply decrease the caffeine amount on the final extract injected to the GC-MS instrument. The method was successfully applied to coffee, tea, and water samples with acceptable % recovery (>90%). Finally, the impact of our procedure to the environment from green analytical chemistry view was assessed by a novel metric system called AGREE, proving the greenness of our procedure.

Based on investigating the relative fluorescence intensity of vancomycin hydrochloride (VCM) in methanol, a simple, highly sensitive, time-saving and specific spectrofluorimetric method was developed and validated. VCM fluorescence was measured at 335 nm when excited at 268 nm. Excellent linearity is obeyed in the concentration range 1–100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 5.94 pg/mL, a quantitation limit of 18.03 pg/mL and a very good correlation coefficient (r = 0.9999). Our method was applied to analyze VCM in pharmaceuticals as well as spiked human plasma. Moreover, VCM stability was studied when exposed to various degradation conditions such as oxidative, alkaline as well as acidic stress. Acidic and alkaline degradation kinetics of VCM was studied for the first time. The degradation follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. The apparent rate constants and half-life times were calculated. The Arrhenius equation was assessed and the activation energies of the degradation were also calculated. The developed method can be easily applied in quality control laboratories due to its sensitivity, specificity, simplicity and low cost.

Abstract
Three spectrofluorimetric methods were developed for agomelatine (AGM) determination in commercial tablets. Method A is based on measuring the native fluorescence of AGM aqueous solution at 230/360 nm. Methods B and C are based on the formation of a charge transfer complex between AGM and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) with measurement of the formed fluorophore at 365/475 nm and 250/304 nm, respectively. The relative fluorescence intensity (RFI) of AGM-DDQ complex was greatly enhanced in the presence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD). The methods were linear over the concentration ranges of 0.015-0.5, 0.5-8.0, 0.09-6.0 and 0.05-0.2 μg/ml for AGM-native fluorescence, AGM-DDQ, AGM-DDQ-CD and AGM-TCNQ complexes, respectively with excellent correlation coefficients (r = 0.9999). The methods were validated as per the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines and all validation requirements were satisfied. The developed methods were extended to the analysis of AGM in commercial tablets. Furthermore, the stability of AGM was studied under different stress conditions (alkaline, acidic, oxidative and photolytic). The potential alkaline and acidic degradation products were identified by LC-MS/TOF.

Abstract
A new green micellar liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the quantitative estimation of nicotinamide (NICO) and clindamycin phosphate (CLD) in bulk and pharmaceutical gel formulation. The analytes are well resolved in less than 6.0 minutes using micellar mobile phase consisting of 0.10M sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 0.3% triethylamine, and 10% 2-propanol in 0.02M orthophosphoric acid at pH 3.0, running through an Eclipse XDB-C8 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm particle size) with flow rate 1.0 mL/min. The effluent was monitored with diode array detection at 210 nm. The retention times of NICO and CLD were 3.8 minutes and 5.6 minutes, respectively. The method was validated according to the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines in terms of linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy, precision, robustness, and specificity to prove its reliability. Linear correlation was achieved by plotting the peak area of each drug against its concentration. It was found to be rectilinear in the ranges of 1.0–40.0 μg/mL and 0.5–15.0 μg/mL with limits of detection of 0.06 μg/mL and 0.03 μg/mL and limits of quantification of 0.19 μg/mL and 0.09 μg/mL for NICO and CLD, respectively. The method was successfully implemented for the simultaneous determination of the analytes in their bulk powder and combined gel formulation with high % recoveries. The ease of sample treatment facilitates and greatly expedites the treatment with reduced cost and improved accuracy of the procedure.

Abstract
An eco-friendly sensitive, rapid and less hazardous micellar liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of ethamsylate (ETM) and mefenamic acid (MFA) in the presence of hydroquinone (HQ) and 2,3-dimethylaniline (DMA) the main impurities of ETM and MFA, respectively. Good chromatographic separation was attained using Eclipse XDB-C8 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm particle size) adopting UV detection at 300 nm with micellar mobile phase consisting of 0.12 M sodium dodecyl sulfate, 0.3% triethylamine and 15% 2-propanol in 0.02 M orthophosphoric acid (pH 7.0) at 1.0 mL/min. The analytes were well resolved in <6.0 min, ETM (tR = 1.55 min), HQ (tR = 1.95 min), MFA (tR = 4.55 min) and DMA (tR = 5.80 min). Different validation parameters were examined as recommended by international conference on harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The method was linear over the concentration ranges of 0.5-18.0, 0.5-20.0, 0.01-0.5 and 0.02-0.2 µg/mL with limits of detection of 0.118, 0.159, 0.005 and 0.005 µg/mL and limits of quantification of 0.358, 0.482, 0.014 and 0.015 µg/mL for ETM, MFA, HQ and DMA, respectively. The suggested method was successfully applied for the determination of the two drugs in their bulk powder, laboratory-prepared mixtures, single-ingredient and co-formulated tablets. The obtained results were in accordance with those of the comparison method. The method can also detect trace amounts of HQ and DMA as the main impurities of ETM and MFA, respectively, within the BP limit (0.1%) for both impurities. Furthermore, it is a stability-indicating one for the determination of ETM in its pure form, single-component tablet and co-formulated tablets with other drugs.
