An analytical method for simultaneous determination of five quinolones in spicy soup was developed. Spicy soup samples were firstly extracted by EDTA-Mcllvaine buffer at pH 4, then purified and concentrated by a novel Packed fiber solid phase extraction ( PFSPE ) coulumn. The extracted liquid supernatant was loaded onto the column, rinsed with water, and then eluted with 2% ammoniated methanol. The mobile phase was methanol-water-phosphoric acid (25:75:0. 1, V/V, adjusting the pH to 2. 8 with triethylamine) . These analytes were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography-fluorimetric detector( HPLC-FLD) at excitation and emission wavelength of 280 nm and 450 nm respectively. Recoveries of spiked quinolone antibiotics in spicy soup were from 72 . 1% to 110 . 3% with intraday relative standard deviation (RSD) between 1. 6% and 4. 3% and inter-day RSD from 2. 0% to 4. 3%. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation(LOQ) were from 1. 2 to 5. 4 μg/L and from 3. 9 to 18 μg/L, respectively. The method could be applied to determine the quinolones in spicy soup.

In this study, we developed a novel liposome-silica hybrid nano-carrier for tumor combination therapy via oral route, using paclitaxel and cyclosporine as a model drug pair. Optimization of the preparation of the drug-loading formulation and characterization of its physicochemical parameters and drug release profile were performed in vitro. Then in vivo pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics studies were performed. The results showed that the obtained formulation has a small particle size (mean diameter of 100.2 +/- 15.2 nm), a homogeneous distribution [the polydispersity index was (0.251 +/- 0.018)] and high encapsulation efficiency (90.15 +/- 2.47) % and (80.64 +/- 3.52) % for paclitaxel and cyclosporine respectively with a mild and easy preparation process. A sequential drug release trend of cyclosporine prior to palictaxel was observed. The liposome-silica hybrid nano-carrier showed good biocompatibility in vivo and co-delivery of cyclosporine and paclitaxel significantly enhanced the oral absorption of paclitaxel with improved anti-tumor efficacy, suggesting a promising approach for multi-drug therapy against tumor and other serious diseases via oral route.
