Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination of Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim in Drugs.

Abstract

Two methods, namely first derivative and classical least squares methods are selected and applied for comparative purposes to analyze uv-spectra of the methanolic solutions of the cited components in synthetic binary mixtures and in a number of antibacterial pharmaceutical preparations, viz. three tablets and two syrups produced by Egyptian companies. The former technique is based on measuring the absorbances at zero-crossing wavelengths, 288 and 240 nm for the two drugs, respectively. Calibration curves are rectilinear in the range 4 –20 μg/ml of both components. The latter method is based on a pure standard full-spectra treatment ranged from 350 to 200 nm at 2 nm intervals to compute the concentration of unknowns. A statistical analysis of the results is reported.     

Simultaneous Determination of Timolol Maleate and Pilocarpine Hydrochloride in Ophthalmic Solutions by First Derivative UV Spectrophotometry and PLS-1 Multivariate Calibration

ABSTRACT

The use of UV spectrophotometry (first-derivative/zero-crossing and zero-order spectra/multivariate calibration) is reported for the analysis of two miotic agents in ophthalmic solutions. The resolution of these mixtures has been accomplished without prior separation or derivatisation by using: 1) first-derivative measurements at two appropriate zero-crossing points: λ₁ = 222 nm, where the absorption corresponding to excipients is negligible, and λ₂ = 307 nm, where the contribution of pilocarpine and excipients to the overall absorption is negligible, and 2) partial least squares (PLS-1) regression analysis of zero-order spectral data. Although the components show an important degree of spectral overlap, they have been simultaneously determined with high accuracy, and with no interference from ophthalmic solution excipients.

Simultaneous Differential Pulse Voltammetric Determination of Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim on a Boron‐Doped Diamond Electrode

The performance of hydrogen‐ (HT) and oxygen‐terminated (OT) boron‐doped diamond (BDD) electrodes (electrochemically pretreated) on the simultaneous differential pulse voltammetric determination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim in pharmaceutical products is presented. Under the optimum analytical experimental conditions, the HT‐BDD electrode presented two well‐defined oxidation peaks at 920 and 1100 mV vs. Ag/AgCl for sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, respectively. On the other hand, when the OT‐BDD electrode was used, the sulfamethoxazole oxidation current peak was decreased twenty fold. The calculated LOD values for sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim using the HT‐BDD electrode were 3.65 μg L^?1 and 3.92 μg L^?1, respectively. The results obtained in the simultaneous determination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim in three different commercial formulations were similar to those obtained using a standard HPLC method at 95% confidence level.

Simultaneous spectrophotometric estimation of nitrobenzene,aniline, and phenol in a ternary mixture using genetic algorithm

In spectrophotometry, mixtures of chemical constituents cannot be determined simultaneously due to spectral interferences as well as the close λ_max wavelength, the wavelength at which a substance absorbs the most photons. Since the spectra of individual components in a ternary mixture overlap, determining the concentration of individual components using the wavelength of maximum absorbance, λ_max, can lead to a significant error. In this paper, the concentrations of individual components in ternary synthetic mixtures of nitrophenol, aniline, and phenol were estimated simultaneously using a model based on a genetic algorithm and partial least squares. The spectrophotometric data of ternary mixtures with almost identical spectra of nitrobenzene, aniline, and phenol were calibrated using partial least squares modeling without losing prediction capability, and a genetic algorithm method was used to select the appropriate wavelengths for partial least square calibration. The experimental calibration matrix of 27 samples containing a ternary mixture of nitrobenzene (1.0–20.0 mg L^?1), aniline (1.0–15.0 mg L^?1), and phenol (4.0–18.0 mg L^?1) was designed by measuring the absorbance between 200 and 340 nm at a 1 nm wavelength intervals. The model was verified by using six different mixtures with varying concentrations of nitrobenzene, aniline, and phenol. The root mean square error in the prediction of nitrobenzene, aniline, and phenol was 0.1411, 0.1670, and 0.2861 with the genetic algorithm, and 0.3666, 0.6149, and 0.6279 without the genetic algorithm, respectively. This method can be successfully applied to estimate the components in synthetic mixtures accurately. Since this method is accurate and robust, it can be applied to actual industrial wastewater that contains a mixture of toxic chemicals. This eliminates the complications and costs related to separation and purification prior to the analysis using costly chromatographic methods.     

A Rapid Spectrophotometric Method to Resolve Ternary Mixtures of Propyphenazone, Caffeine, and Acetaminophen in Tablets

Summary.  A simple and rapid derivative spectrophotometric assay procedure is described for the analysis of caffeine (1), acetaminophen (2), and propyphenazone (3) in tablet formulations. The concentration range of application is 5.0–25.0 μg·cm⁻³ for 2 and 3 and 1.0–5.0 μg·cm⁻³ for 1. The method involves the extraction of the drugs from tablets with 0.1 N H₂SO₄, filtration, appropriate dilution, and measurement of the fourth derivative absorbance values at zero crossing wavelengths of 230.0, 263.2, and 256.6 nm for 1, 2, and 3. As a reference method, a reversed phase HPLC procedure was developed. Commercially available tablets were analyzed; statistical comparison of the results with those obtained from the reference method showed good agreement. The derivative spectrophotometric method has the advantage of being simple, rapid, inexpensive, and easy to perform. Received April 18, 2001. Accepted (revised) June 5, 2001

Spectrophotometric Determination of Trimethoprim in Pure Form and in Pharmaceutical Preparations using Bromothymol Blue,Bromocresol Green and Alizarin Red S

ABSTRACT

Simple, sensitive and selective methods for the determination of trimethoprim (TMP) in pure form and in pharmaceutical formulations are described. The methods are based on the reaction of TMP as a π-electron donor with bromothymol blue (BTB), bromocresol green (BCG) and alizarin red S (ARS) as electron acceptors. The coloured products are quantified spectrophotometrically at their corresponding λ_max.

Beer's law is obeyed in case of BTB in the range 2.9-23.2 μg/ml (CHCl₃), 2.9-20.0 μg/ml (CH₂Cl₂) and 5.0-29.0 μg/ml (ClC₆H₅), in the case of BCG 2.9-27.5 μg/ml (H₂O/alc.), 2.9-18.3 μg/ml (CHCl₃) and 2.9-20.3 μg/ml (CH₂Cl₂) and for ARS in the range 3.0-12.0 μg/ml in H₂O/alc medium.

The specific absorptivities, molar absorptivities, Sandell sensitivities, standard deviations and percent recoveries are evaluated. Application of the suggested methods to dosage forms is presented and compared with the pharmacopoeial method. The interference from additives and sulfa compounds, especially sulfamethoxazole, has been overcome by extraction into chloroform or methylene chloride.     

Simultaneuus Spectrophotometric Deermination of Phenazo-Pyridine and Nitrofurantoin in Tablets

Abstract

Two spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of phenaaopyridine and nitrofurantoin in tablets. No preliminary separation step is required. The first method involves the use of the modified Vierardt equation as developed by Glenn. The second method is based on the spectral changes induced bg reduction using Zn/HCl; the absorption spectrum of nitrofurantoin completely disappears, Phenazopyridine on the other hand develops a new absorption spectra at 320 nm, the absorbance ratio of the peak at 380 nm to that at 320 nm could be adopted to develop a spectrophotometric method for the determination of both compounds in admixture. The suggested methods were applied to the determination of the two compounds in tablets, and the results obtained were accurate and precise.     

Application of Multivariate Calibration Techniques to HPLC Data for Quantitative Analysis of a Binary Mixture of Hydrochlorathiazide and Losartan in Tablets

New multivariate approaches have been applied to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with multiwavelength photodiode-array (PDA) detection. Multivariate calibration techniques such as partial least squares (PLS), principal component regression (PCR), classical least squares (CLS), and inverse least squares (ILS) was subjected to HPLC data for simultaneous quantitative analysis of synthetic binary mixtures and a commercial tablet formulation containing hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) and losartan potassium (LST). The combined use of HPLC and multivariate calibrations has been denoted HPLC–CLS, HPLC–ILS, HPLC–PCR, and HPLC–PLS. Successful chromatographic separation of the two active compounds and enalapril maleate, used as internal standard (IS), was accomplished by means of a 4.6 mm i.d. × 250 mm, 5 m particle, Waters Symmetry C₁₈ reversed-phase column and a mobile phase consisting of 60:40 acetate buffer (0.2 M, pH 4.8)–acetonitrile (v/v, 60:40). HPLC data based on the ratio of analyte peak areas to IS peak area were obtained by PDA detection at five-wavelengths (250, 255, 260, 265, and 270 nm). The HPLC–CLS, HPLC–ILS, HPLC–PCR, and HPLC–PLS calibration plots for hydrochlorothiazide and losartan potassium were constructed separately by using the peak-area ratios corresponding to the concentrations of each active compound. The HPLC multivariate calibrations obtained were tested for different synthetic mixtures containing HCT and LST in the presence of the IS. These multivariate chromatographic methods were also applied to a commercial pharmaceutical dosage form containing HCT and LST. The results obtained from the multivariate calibrations were compared with those obtained by use of another, classical HPLC method using single-wavelength detection.Revised: 29 September 2004 and 4 January 2005

Application of Multivariate Calibration Methods for the Simultaneous Multiwavelength Spectrophotometric Determination of Fe(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Mn(II) in Mixtures

Abstract

A sensitive method for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of Fe(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Mn(II) in mixtures has been developed with the aid of multivariate calibration methods, such as classical least squares (CLS), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS). The method is based on the spectral differences of the analytes in their complexation reaction with 4‐(2‐pyridylazo)‐resorcinol (PAR) and the use of full spectra with wavelengths in the range of 300–600 nm. It was found that both the spectral positive and negative bands obtained against the PAR blank, are proportional to the concentration for each metal complex. The obtained linear calibration concentration ranges are 0.025–0.6, 0.05–0.8, 0.025–0.8, and 0.05–0.8 µg ml^?1 for Fe(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Mn(II), respectively, and the LODs for the four metal ions were found to be approximately 1–3×10^?2 µg ml^?1. The proposed method was applied to a verification set of synthetic mixtures of these four metal ions, with models built in three different wavelength ranges, i.e., 300–450, 450–600, and 300–600 nm, corresponding to the positive, negative bands and their combinations, respectively. It was shown that the PLS model for the 300–600 nm range gave the best results (RPE_T=6.9% and average recovery ～100%; cf. PCR: RPE_T=9.5% and average Recovery ～110%). This method was also successfully applied for the determination of the four metal ions in pharmaceutical preparations, chicken feedstuff, and water samples.
