    Abstract Background: In this study an approach was made to efficaciously synthesize gold enhanced titania nanorods by electrospinning. This study aims to address effects of gold enhanced titania nanorods on muscle precursor cells. Additionally, implant related microbial infections are prime cause of various disastrous diseases. So, there is predictable demand for synthesis of novel materials with multifunctional adaptability.
    Methods: Herein, gold nanoparticles were attached on titania nanorods and described using many sophisticated procedures such as XRD, SEM, EDX and TEM. Antimicrobial studies were probed against Gram-negative Escherichia coli. C2C12 cell lines were exposed to various doses of as-prepared gold enhanced titania nanorods in order to test in vitro cytotoxicity and proliferation. Cell sustainability was assessed through Cell Counting Kit-8 assay at regular intervals. A phase-contrast microscope was used to examine morphology of exposed C2C12 cells and confocal laser scanning microscope was used to quantify cell viability.
    Results: The findings indicate that titania nanorods enhanced with gold exhibit superior antimicrobial efficacy compared to pure titania. Furthermore, newly synthesized gold-enhanced titania nanorods illustrate that cell viability follows a time and concentration dependent pattern.
    Conclusion: Consequently, our study provides optimistic findings indicating that titania nanorods adorned with gold hold significant potential as foundational resource for developing forthcoming antimicrobial materials, suitable for applications both in medical and biomedical fields. This work also demonstrates that in addition to being extremely biocompatible, titania nanorods with gold embellishments may be used in a range of tissue engineering applications in very near future.

    Abstract Stability testing is essential in the pharmaceutical industry to determine product shelf- life and the conditions under which drug products should be stored. Stability testing involves a complex set of procedures, considerable cost, time, and scientific expertise to build quality, efficacy and safety in a drug formulation. This paper highlights a new complementary approach to stability testing called Broadband Acoustic Resonance Dissolution Spectroscopy (BARDS). BARDS measurements are based on reproducible changes in the compressibility of a solvent during dissolution. It is monitored acoustically via associated changes in the frequency of induced acoustic resonances. This study presents a novel approach to track the change of various drug formulations to determine the formulation's stability. Pellets, tablet and multiple-unit pellet system (MUPS) formulations were investigated to examine the effect of polymer coating and formulation core degradation over time. In combination with minimal usage of Ultra Violet - Visible Spectroscopy, BARDS can effectively track these changes. The technique offers a rapid approach to characterizing pharmaceutical formulations. BARDS can enable rapid development of solid drug formulation dissolution and disintegration testing as an In-Process Control test and drug stability analysis. The data show that a solid oral dose formulation has an intrinsic acoustic signature specific to the method of manufacture, excipient composition and elapsed time since the production of a product. BARDS data are also indicative of which aspect of a formulation may be unstable, whether a coating, sub-coating or core. It is potentially a time-efficient, cost-effective and greener approach to testing coating stability, disintegration and overall formulation stability.

    Abstract The trade in falsified medicine has increased significantly and it is estimated that global falsified sales have reached $100 billion in 2020. The EU Falsified Medicines Directive states that falsified medicines do not only reach patients through illegal routes but also via the legal supply chain. Falsified medicines can contain harmful ingredients. They can also contain too little or too much active ingredient or no active ingredient at all. BARDS (Broadband Acoustic Resonance Dissolution Spectroscopy) harnesses an acoustic phenomenon associated with the dissolution of a sample (tablet or powder). The resulting acoustic spectrum is unique and intrinsic to the sample and can be used as an identifier or signature profile. BARDS was evaluated in this study to determine whether a product is falsified or genuine in a rapid manner and at lower cost than many existing technologies. A range of genuine and falsified medicines, including falsified antimalarial tablets from south-east Asia, were tested, and compared to their counterpart genuine products. Significant differences between genuine and falsified doses were found in their acoustic signatures as they disintegrate and dissolve. Principal component analysis was employed to differentiate between the genuine and falsified medicines. This demonstrates that the tablets and capsules included here have intrinsic acoustic signatures which could be used to screen the quality of medicines.
