Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The removal of emerging contaminants in traditional AOP (Advanced Oxidation Process) has shown good performance, featuring advanced oxidation technology to produce highly reactive free radicals, such as the hydroxyl radical (·OH), sulfate radical (SO4·), and super oxide free radical (O2·). They can degrade these antibiotics and other refractory organic pollutants into the low toxicity of small molecular products. This technology contains ozone oxidation, photochemical oxidation, catalytic wet oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, Fenton oxidation, Fenton-like oxidation, photocatalytic oxidation, and activated oxidation based on PMS according to the different generation modes of free radicals. ·OH is a strong oxidant with a REDOX potential of 2.8 V, which can destroy the structure of organic compounds. In recent years, advanced oxidation technology based on SO4 has attracted great attention. Compared to ·OH, SO4· have the same or even higher REDOX potential (2.5–3.1 V), and in some cases, sulfate radicals are more selective and have a longer half-life than hydroxyl. Therefore, SO4· is expected to show a better ability to degrade novel pollutants. It is important to note that persulfates (PS), including peroxymonosulfates (PMS) and peroxybisulfates (PDS), are low-cost, easy to store, and very stable. They can be activated to generate sulfate radicals through various methods, such as heating activation, alkali activation, radiation activation, ultrasonic activation, carbon-based material activation, activation of transition metal and its oxides, etc.

The most well-known, effective medicines for acne therapy are clindamycin phosphate and tretinoin. For the first time, we have developed and validated a reversed-phase HPLC stability-indicating technique for the detection of clindamycin phosphate (CLP), tretinoin (TRN), and two preservatives, methylparaben (MP) and imidazolidinyl urea (IU), simultaneously in this work. Most of the chromatographic conditions in the present study were optimized to achieve better separation. The best separation results were obtained using gradient elution on a C-18 (250 × 4.6 mm), 5 µm column, with a mobile phase consisting of solution A (1 mL/L ortho-phosphoric acid in water) and solution B (methanol), at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, with UV detection at wavelengths of 200 nm and 353 nm. Standard parameters such as system suitability, precision, accuracy, specificity, robustness, linearity, range, detection limit, quantification limit, and reagent stability were used to validate the developed technique. According to the standards of the International Council for Harmonization, all of the experimental parameters were found to be within allowable bounds (ICH). The simultaneous concentrations of clindamycin phosphate, tretinoin, methylparaben, and imidazolidinyl urea in pharmaceutical formulations were successfully determined using the suggested approach. The proposed RP-HPLC method detected no interfering peaks in the chromatogram. We may conclude from the data that the new RP-HPLC method can be utilized in pharmaceutical laboratories to simultaneously assess clindamycin phosphate, tretinoin, and two preservatives, methylparaben and imidazolidinyl urea, for both qualitative and quantitative analyses.
