Carboxyterfenadine antacid interaction monitoring by UV spectrophotometry and RP-HPLC techniques

Carboxyterfenadine, a primary metabolite of terfenadine, a second generation antihistaminic compound was introduced in therapy as a successor of terfenadine due to its cardiac arrhythmia. There are number of drug interactions of fexofenadine with erythromycin, ketoconazole and alike reported in the literature. In this paper, fexofenadine antacid interaction has been studied in presence of sodium bicarbonate, megaldrate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium trisilicate, simethicone (dimethylpolysiloxane) and calcium hydroxide by UV–Vis spectrophotometer and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These in vitro fexofenadine–antacid interactions were carried out in simulated gastric and intestinal juices and in buffer of pH 7.4 (simulating blood pH) on BP 2005 dissolution apparatus. The results show non-concordant availability of fexofenadine envisaged due to formation of unstable charge transfer complexes.

Determination of platinum(IV) by UV spectrophotometry

A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of platinum has been elaborated. Pt traces were determined in the form of the PtCl(6)(2-) complex in hydrochloric acid solution whose concentration varies from 0.01 to 2 mol L(-1) by measuring the absorbance at 260 nm. The detection limit is 4.7 x 10(-7) mol L(-1), the linearity range from 2 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) to 7 x 10(-6) mol L(-1), and the correlation coefficient is r=0.9990. No significant interferences were observed from a majority of the investigated ions, such as Zn(II), Pb(II), Mn(II), Cd(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) with the exception of Cu(II), Sb(III), Fe(III), Pd(II), Sn(II) and I(-) ions. The method was successfully applied for the determination of Pt traces in different solid samples and the recovery from inorganic materials was studied.

Determination of Simvastatin in tablet formulations by derivative UV spectrophotometry

An investigation of UV spectroscopic methods, i.e. absorbance, 1st and 2nd derivative spectra for the determination of simvastatin in tablet formulations has been undertaken. This work investigated the possible difficulties that might arise due to the presence of UV absorbing excipients and likely presence of degradation products in such assays. We have demonstrated that the presence of ascorbic acid as an excipient causes interference with simple absorbance measurements leading to a gross over-determination of the simvastatin. 1st and 2nd derivative methods appear to eliminate this problem. We have also shown that the degradation product of simvastatin, i.e. simvastatin β-hydroxy acid, having an almost identical spectrum to the parent drug, may cause problems in the UV spectroscopic determination of the drug in degraded samples.

Design of an on-line monitoring system for radioactive wastewater

An on-line monitoring system for radioactive wastewater was designed to discriminate the type and concentration of the radionuclides discharged from nuclear facilities. An HPGe semiconductor was used as the detector in the system for continuous monitoring by pumping wastewater. The minimum detectable activity for ¹³⁷Cs was 0.4 Bq L⁻¹ after 10 min of measuring wastewater with the system. The system can detect excessive radioactivity in the wastewater and quickly and effectively alert personnel. Based on the experimental measurements and the Monte Carlo simulation, the detection efficiency of the system was calibrated, and an efficiency curve was determined for the energy range from 50 to 2754 keV.

     

Simple UV/UV-visible method for nitrogen and phosphorus measurement in wastewater

A simple UV/UV-visible method is described for the determination of global nitrogen and total phosphorus in wastewater. This method includes two steps: first, the photo-oxidation of nitrogen and phosphorus forms into nitrate and orthophosphate ions, and their quantification by UV-visible spectrophotometry. Potassium peroxodisulfate is used as oxidant. The developed system consists of on-line association of UV photo-oxidation reactor with UV-visible detector. The conversion yields vary between 80 and 100% for both nitrogen compounds (ammonium, urea, amino acids, and other N-containing compounds), and phosphorus compounds (ADP, ATP, and other P-containing compounds). The time requires for nitrogen and phosphorus forms determination is no longer than 20 min.     

Determination of ambroxol hydrochloride in tablets using flow-injection UV spectrophotometry and HPLC

A flow-injection UV spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of ambroxol hydrochloride in tablets. The quantitative determination of ambroxol was performed at 245 nm using distilled water as the carrier solvent. In this study, the flow rate, loop volume, and the number of injections per hour were 15 mL/min, 193 μL, and 100, respectively. The analytical signal of ambroxol was linear in the concentration range of 40–200 μg/mL. The detection limit and limit of quantification were found as 11.55 and 38.49 μg/mL, respectively. The results for the determination of ambroxol in tablets, 29.99 ± 0.23 mg (mean ± SD), were in good agreement with the labeled quantities (30 mg/tablet). A relatively high recovery value (100.4%) shows the accuracy of the proposed method. Furthermore, the results obtained were in accordance with those obtained by the HPLC method, which were used as a comparison method for the determination of ambroxol HCl, as far as the Student’s t-test and Fisher test results were concerned. It was concluded that the proposed flow-injection UV spectrophotometric method was fast, accurate, precise, and suitable for automation in the determination of ambroxol. The text was submitted by the authors in English.

Determination of flurbiprofen in pharmaceutical formulations by UV spectrophotometry and liquid chromatography

In this study, a new and rapid UV spectrophotometric (UV) method and a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (LC) method were developed for quantitative estimation of flurbiprofen, a non-selective, non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), in pure form and in pharmaceutical dosage form. The solvent system, wavelength of detection, chromatographic conditions were optimized in order to maximize the sensitivity of both the proposed methods. The linear regression equations obtained by least square regression method were Abs=7.5906×10⁻² concentration (μg/ml) + (−) 4.6210×10⁻² for the UV method, and peak area=1.2652×10² concentration (ng/ml) + 1.4830×10³ for the LC method. The detection limit as per the error propagation theory was found to be 0.34 μg/ml for UV method and 15 ng/ml for LC method. The developed methods were successfully employed with high degree of precision and accuracy for the estimation of total drug content in two commercial ophthalmic drops of flurbiprofen. The results of analysis were treated statistically, as per USP 2000 and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines for validation of analytical procedures, and by recovery studies. The results obtained from UV method were comparable with those obtained by using LC. It was concluded that both the developed methods are equally accurate, sensitive, precise, reproducible, robust and rugged and could be applied directly and easily to the pharmaceutical preparations of flurbiprofen. However, LC method is useful at very low level (ng/ml), whereas UV method is suitable at μg/ml level.     

Flow injection analysis of nitrite by gas phase molecular absorption UV spectrophotometry

A flow injection method on the basis of gas phase molecular absorption is described for the determination of nitrite in the aqueous solution. 200 mul of nitrite solution is introduced into a carrier stream of distilled water. The carrier stream containing nitrite zone is reacted with a stream of hydrochloric acid (2 M). The stream is then segmented by O(2) gas. The produced gaseous products are purged into the O(2) segments, react with O(2) and are carried toward the gas-liquid separator. The gaseous phase is separated from the liquid stream by the use of home-made gas-liquid separator and then is swept into a home-made flow cell. The absorbance of gaseous phase is measured at 205 nm using a UV/VIS spectrophotometer. Under selected conditions, two linear ranges, up to 1000 mug ml(-1) and 1000-2000 mug ml(-1) of nitrite were obtained. The limit of detection was 7.5 mug ml(-1) NO(2)(-). The relative standard deviations of repeated measurements of 100 and 500 mug ml(-1) NO(2)(-) were 3.7 and 1.0%, respectively. Up to 30 samples h(-1) can be analyzed. Interferences in the proposed method were few and were readily overcome. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of nitrite in the spiked water samples, a number of meat products and urine.
