The key focus of the pharmaceutical or chemical industries is to reduce the cost involved in the development of new drugs and to improve the selectivity, sensitivity, and resolution for their detection. The purpose can now be solved by the separation method called UPLC which is the modified HPLC method comprising high pressure and small sized particles (less than 2 µm) used in the column, so the length of the column decreases leading to time saving and reduction in the consumption of solvent. The underlying principle of UPLC is based on van Deemter statement which describes the connection between linear velocity with plate height. UPLC contributes to the improvement of the three areas: speed, resolution, and sensitivity. This is a new advanced category of the HPLC which has the same basic principle and methodology with improved chromatographic performance. This review is an effort to compile the principle, instrumentation, and applications of UPLC.
1,3,4-Oxadiazole derivatives are found to have a wide range of pharmacological activities and attracting the researchers to work on this nucleus. Literature survey indicates that many 1,3,4- oxadiazoles have been synthesized with the aim to get compounds of significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities with reduced adverse effects. The purpose of this review is to compile the reports on 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives possessing anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. The review also includes the reports on 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives of existing NSAIDs in the last ten years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
