Abstract
Liposomes are very interesting drug delivery systems for pharmaceutical and therapeutic purposes. However, liposome sterilization as well as their industrial manufacturing remain challenging. Supercritical carbon dioxide is an innovative technology that can potentially overcome these limitations. The aim of this study was to optimize a one-step process for producing and sterilizing liposomes using supercritical CO2. For this purpose, a design of experiment was conducted. The analysis of the experimental design showed that the temperature is the most influential parameter to achieve the sterility assurance level (SAL) required for liposomes (≤10-6). Optimal conditions (80 °C, 240 bar, 30 min) were identified to obtain the fixed critical quality attributes of liposomes. The conditions for preparing and sterilizing empty liposomes of various compositions, as well as liposomes containing the poorly water-soluble drug budesonide, were validated. The results indicate that the liposomes have appropriate physicochemical characteristics for drug delivery, with a size of 200 nm or less and a PdI of 0.35 or less. Additionally, all liposome formulations demonstrated the required SAL and sterility at concentrations of 5 and 45 mM, with high encapsulation efficiency.

Abstract
The effects of four potential supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) sterilization conditions on the chemical stability of 9 phospholipids and on the physicochemical characteristics of liposomes consisting of stable phospholipids, as well as their sterilization efficiency were evaluated. These conditions were : C1 (ScCO2/70 °C/150 bar/240 min), C2 (ScCO2/0.25 % water/ 0.15% H2O2/ 0.5% acetic anhydride/38° C/85 bar/45 min), C3 (ScCO2/0.08 % peracetic acid/35° C/104 bar/180 min) and C4 (ScCO2/200 ppm H2O2/40 °C/270 bar/90 min). The results showed for phospholipids, a significant increase in hydrolysis products of 3.77 to 14.50 % and an increase in oxidation index of 6.10 to 430.50 % with unsaturated phospholipids for all tested conditions while with saturated phospholipids, no significant degradation was observed. Concerning the liposome formulation, no change in dispersion color and no phospholipid degradation were observed. However, a decrease in liposome size from 126.90 nm to 111.80 nm, 96.27 nm, 99.60 nm and 109.13 nm and an increase in the PdI from 0.208 to 0.271, 0.233, 0.285, and 0.298 were found with conditions C1, C2, C3 and C4 respectively. For the sterilization efficiency, conditions C1, C2 and C3 achieved the required sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 for liposomes.

Abstract
Falsified drugs are of serious concern to public health worldwide, particularly for developing countries where quality control of drugs is inefficient. In law enforcement against such fake medicines, there is a need to develop reliable, fast, and inexpensive screening methods. In this work, the ability of an innovative low-cost handheld near-infrared spectrometer to identify falsifications among two antimalarial fixed dose combination tablets, dihydroartemisinin/piperaquine and sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine, has been investigated. Analyzed samples were collected in Burkina Faso mainly in rural transborder areas that could be infiltrated by illicit drugs. A principal component analysis was applied on the acquired near-infrared spectra to identify trends, similarities, and differences between collected samples. This allowed to detect some samples of dihydroartemisinin/piperaquine and sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine which seemed to be falsified. These suspicious samples were semiquantitatively analyzed by thin-layer chromatography using Minalab® kits. Obtained results allowed to confirm the falsifications since the suspected samples did not contain any of the expected active pharmaceutical ingredients. The capacity of the low-cost near-infrared device to identify specifically a brand name of dihydroartemisinin/piperaquine or sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine has been also studied using soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA) in the classical and data driven versions. The built models allowed a clear brand identification with 100% of both sensitivity and specificity in the studied cases. All these results demonstrate the potential of these low-cost near-infrared spectrometers to be used as first line screening tools, particularly in resource limited laboratories, for the detection of falsified antimalarial drugs.

Abstract
Greening analytical methods has become of great interest in the field of pharmaceutical analysis to protect both the operators' health and the environment. In this work, an innovative methodology combining Quality-by-Design (QbD) and Green Chemistry principles was followed to develop a single, green and robust RP-HPLC method for the quantitative analysis of impurities of both artesunate and amodiaquine drugs. Ethanol was selected as the best ecofriendly alternative solvent in substitution to the commonly used organic solvents such as acetonitrile and methanol. To achieve method objectives, resolutions between the 10 peaks were chosen as critical method attributes (CMAs) to be optimized through QbD approach. Based on a quality risk assessment, pH, temperature, and gradient slope were then selected as critical method parameters (CMPs) and a three level full factorial design was used to model the CMAs as function of the CMPs. Response surface methodology associated to Monte Carlo simulations allowed to determine the method operable domain region (MODR), i.e., the multidimensional combination of CMPs where CMAs simultaneously satisfied specifications (Rs ≥ 1.5) with a probability at least equal to 95 %. Inside the MODR, the working point was chosen based on green criteria, involving a mobile phase composed of ethanol and 10 mM acetic acid only as pH modifier. The method was successfully validated for all impurities using accuracy profile methodology, which was fully compliant with the ICH Q2(R1) requirements. Finally, the method was applied to the analysis of amodiaquine and artesunate impurities in raw materials and formulations.

Abstract
A green analytical chemistry strategy is described to develop a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method for amodiaquine and artesunate analysis using ethanol-based mobile phases. This method development was particularly challenging due to the basicity of amodiaquine and low UV absorption of artesunate, leading to peak asymmetry and detection issues, respectively. UV detection concern was even more challenging due to the baseline drift observed with ethanol in gradient mode. Several green pH modifiers were selected for their ecofriendly character and their impact on peak shape and detection was investigated. The screening of various stationary phases (19 columns) appeared as a relevant and necessary approach to reach satisfactory peak shape of basic compounds. To support the results of this study, some additional compounds related to artesunate and amodiaquine structures were included. Methods were optimized and validated using total error approach with a mobile phase composed of ethanol and 10 mM formic acid using three different stationary phases from different manufacturers, providing flexibility of the quality control approach. Method greenness was assessed using the National Environmental Methods Index, the Green Analytical Procedure Index, and the Analytical Eco-Scale. Finally, artesunate and amodiaquine were successfully analyzed in fixed dose combination tablets.

Abstract
Two green analytical approaches have been developed for the analysis of antimalarial fixed dose tablets of artemether and lumefantrine for quality control. The first approach consisted of investigating the qualitative performance of a low-cost handheld near-infrared spectrometer in combination with the principal component analysis as an exploratory tool to identify trends, similarities, and differences between pharmaceutical samples, before applying the data driven soft independent modeling of class analogy (DD-SIMCA) as a one-class classifier for proper drug falsification detection with 100% of both sensitivity and specificity in the studied cases. Despite its limited spectral range and low resolution, the handheld device allowed detecting falsified drugs with no active pharmaceutical ingredient and identifying specifically a pharmaceutical tablet brand name. The second approach was the quantitative analysis based on the green and fast RP-HPLC technique using ethanol as a green organic solvent and acetic acid as a green pH modifier. The optimal separation was achieved in 7 min using a mobile phase composed of ethanol 96% and 10 mM of acetic acid pH 3.35 (63:37, v/v). The developed method was validated according to the total error approach based on an accuracy profile, was applied to the analysis of tablets, and allowed confirming falsified drugs detected by spectroscopy.
