Determination of Some Cephalosporins Using Derivative Spectrophotometry

Abstract

A rapid and simple method for the determination of cephalexin, cephalothin sodium and cephradin without prior separation from their alkali-induced degradation products is presented. By measuring the values of the first and second derivative spectra at certain wavelengths, the concentration of the intact drug can be calculated directly without interference of degradation products. The method was proved using synthetic mixtures of the intact drugs with their degradation products, and its suitability to monitor the stability of the drugs was demonstrated.     

Utility of Derivative Spectrophotometry in the Determination of Carbochromen Hydrochloride and Dipyridamole in the Presence of Their Oxidative Degradation Products

Abstract

Direct spectrophotometric methods for the determination of carbochromen hydrochloride and dipyridamole, each in the presence of its oxidative degradation products, are presented. the methods are based on the first derivative (D₁) and second derivative (D₂) spectrophotometric measurement (absolute trough, U) at 336 nm and (Peak-trough, Y) at 309–342 nm for carbochromen hydrochloride and at 240–260 nm(U) and 246–268 nm(Y) for dipyridamole. Plots of D₁ or D₂ versus concentration were linear over the concentration range of 8.00–16.00 μg/ml for carbochromen hydrochloride and 4.00–12.00 μg/ml for dipyridamole. Oxidative degradation of these drugs has been optimized with respect to hydrogen peroxide concentration. Determining the intact in coexistence with its oxidative degradation product, the proposed derivative spectrophotometric methods proved to be of high potential in correcting the systematic error appearing in the results of the A_max method due to the latter. Assaying the commercial tablets, the proposed method gave results of high accuracy and reproducibility.     

The Use of Derivative Spectrophotometry for the Determination of Acyclovir and Diloxanide Furoate in Presence of Impurity or Degradation Product

Abstract

Second (D₂) and third (D₃) derivatives spectrophotometry have been developed for the determination of acyclovir in the presence of guanine (its main impurity) and diloxanide furoate in the presence of diloxanide (its degradation product). The methods depend upon measuring D₂ and D₃ peak amplitudes at 269 and 262 nm for acyclovir and at 260 and 270 nm for diloxanide furoate in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid.

Accuracy of analysis with the proposed derivative spectrophotometric procedure is significantly greater than the classical methods.

Determination of Mefenamic Acid and Paracetamol by First Derivative Spectrophotometry

Abstract

A direct and simple first derivative spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of mefenamic acid and paracetamol in pharmaceutical formulations. A methanolic hydrochloric acid solution was used as solvent for extracting the drugs from the formulations and subsequently the samples were evaluated directly by derivative spectrophotometry. Simultaneous determination of both drugs can be carried out using the zero-crossing and the graphical methods. The methods do not require simultaneous equations to be solved. The calibration graphs were linear in the ranges from 1.8 × 10^?6 to 1.6 × 10^?4 M of mefenamic acid and from 4.1×10^?6 to 1.4 × 10^?4 M of paracetamol. The ingredients commonly found in commercial pharmaceutical formulations do not interfere. The proposed method was applied to the determination of these drugs in tablets.

First-order Derivative Spectrophotometry for the Determination of Vitamin C in Medicament

A novel method for the determination of vitamin C（Vc） is proposed in this article. After the reaction with Folin-Ciocalteau reagent at ambient temperature, Vc solution was scanned at 750--1100 nm, and its first-order derivative spectrum were obtained from the original spectrum. The values of derivative selected at 995 nm were used for determination. It was proved that Vc could quickly react with Folin-Ciocalteau reagent within 5 min and the product was quite stable for a long time. The conditions required for this method is not very complicated, its precision and accuracy are similar to those of the iodometric titration described in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and the limit of detection is 0.312 μg/mL. The determination of the results of vitamin C tablet, pill, and injection demonstrates that this method has wide pharmaceutical applications.     

Simultaneous Quantitation of Minoxidil and Tretinoin in Magistral and Pharmaceutical Preparations by First Derivative Spectrophotometry

Abstract

A first derivative spectrophotometry method has been developed for the simultaneous quantitation of minoxidil and tretinoin. The method is based on measuring the first derivative signals (D₁) of minoxidil and tretinoin at 290 and 351 nm, respectively, without any interference from each other, or any other coexisting materials. Beer's law was valid over the concentration range 2–10 μg/ml of minoxidil and 0.25–1.25 μg/ml of tretinoin. The proposed method has been applied successfully to the determination of some magistral and pharmaceutical preparations. Relative standard deviations for the assay of both drugs were less than 0.95%.

Determination of Candesartan Cilexetil in Tablet Dosage Forms and Dissolution Testing Samples by First Derivative UV Spectrophotometric Method

Abstract

This article describes the development and validation of a first derivative UV quantitative analytical method for determination of candesartan cilexetil in tablet dosage forms. A signal at 270.1 nm of the first derivative spectrum (ID_270.1) was found adequate for quantification. The limit of quantification was 3.06 µg/ml. The linearity between ID_270.1 nm and concentration of candesartan cilexetil in the range of 6.00–32.00 µg/ml presented a correlation coefficient of (r²) = 0.9990. The mean recovery percentage was 100.97 and 99.23% for candesartan cilexetil standard solution and candesartan standard cilexetil solution with excipients, respectively. The intraday and interday accuracy of the assay was 98.60% and 99.10% respectively. The intraday and interday variability was below 2.0%.

The proposed method is accurate, precise, sensitive, and selective and can be used in quality control laboratories for its intended purpose.

A selective and sensitive derivative method has been proposed for the simultaneous determination of trace amounts of Co(II) and Ni(II) with morpholinedithiocarbamate (MDTC) in the presence of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). The molar absorption coefficients of the 1:2 complex of Co(II) and Ni(II) at 326 nm and 322 nm are 2.248 × 10⁴ and 2.505 × 10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?1 for zero order. The analytical sensitivity for the second derivative of Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes are 0.0044 μg mL^?1 and 0.0060 μg mL^?1. The developed derivative procedure, using the zero‐crossing technique, has been successfully applied for the analysis of Co(II) and Ni(II) simultaneously in different alloy samples.
