Simultaneous Determination of Tinidazole and Furazolidone in Suspension by HPTLC and HPLC

Abstract

High performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) and high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods were developed for the simultaneous determination of Tinidazole and Furazolidone in suspension.

In the HPTLC method the separation of Tinidazole and Furazolidone was carried out on silica gel 60F₂₅₄ HPTLC glass plate using chloroform:methanol:ammonia (9:1:0.1 v/v) as a mobile phase. Rf values obtained were 0.63 and 0.79 for Furazolidone and Tinidazole respectively. Densitometric evaluation was done at 335 nm. Linearity was obtained within the concentration range 10–50 μg/ml and 3.5–17.5 μg/ml for Tinidazole and Furazolidone respectively.

The second method is based on high performance liquid chromatography on a reversed phase column (μ Bondapak C₁₈) using a mobile phase comprised of water: acetonitrile: triethylamine (80:20:0.1 v/v) adjusted to pH = 3.0 with dil. phosphoric acid. Retention times were 5.24 and 7.82 min for Tinidazole and Furazolidone respectively at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min. Detection was done at 335 nm. Linearity was obtained within the concentration range 30–180 μg/ml and 10.5–63 μg/ml for Tinidazole and Furazolidone resp.     

Rapid and Highly Sensitive HPLC and TLC Methods for Quantitation of Amlodipine Besilate and Valsartan in Bulk Powder and in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and in Human Plasma

Two simple, sensitive, and specific high-performance liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography methods were developed for the simultaneous estimation of Amlodipine besilate (AM) and Valsartan (VL). Separation by HPLC was achieved using a xTerra C18 column and methanol /acetonitrile /water/ 0.05% triethylamine in a ratio 40:20:30:10 by volume as mobile phase, pH was adjusted to 3 ± 0.1 with o-phosphoric acid. The flow rate was 1.2 mL min^?1. The linearity range was 0.2 to 2 µg mL^?1 for amlodipine besilate and 0.4 to 4 µg mL^?1 for Valsartan with a mean percentage recovery of 99.59 ± 0.523% and 100.61 ± 0.400% for amlodipine besilate and valsartan, respectively. The TLC method used silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ plates; the optimized mobile phase was ethyl acetate/ methanol / ammonium hydroxide (55:45:5 by volume). Quantitatively, the spots were scanned densitometrically at 237 nm. The range was 0.5–4.0 µg spot^?1 for amlodipine besilate and 2.0–12.0 µg spot^?1 for valsartan. The mean percentages recovery was 99.80 ± 0.451% and 100.61 ± 0.363% for amlodipine besilate and valsartan, respectively. The HPLC method was found to be simple, selective, precise, and reproducible for the estimation of both drugs from spiked human plasma.     

Simultaneous HPLC Analysis of Olmesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide in Combined Tablets and in vitro Dissolution Studies

A simple, rapid and reproducible HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of olmesartan (OLM) medoxomil and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) in combined tablets. Chromatography was carried out on a 4.6 mm I.D × 200 mm, 5 μm cyano column with methanol–10 mM phosphoric acid containing 0.1% triethylamine (pH 2.5, 50:50 v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min⁻¹ and UV detector was set at 260 nm. Valsartan (VAL) was used as internal standard (IS). A linear response was observed in the range of 0.2–6 μg mL⁻¹ (r ² = 0.9998) for OLM and 0.1–4 μg mL⁻¹ (r ² = 0.9999) for HCT, respectively. The method showed good recoveries (99.56% for OLM and 99.48% for HCT) and the relative standard deviation (RSD) values for intra- and inter-day precision were 0.70–1.59 and 0.80–2.00% for OLM and 1.20–1.37 and 1.63–1.93% for HCT, respectively. The developed method was applied successfully for quality control assay of OLM and HCT in combined tablets and in vitro dissolution studies.

A Photoelectrochemical Sensor for Firstly the Detection of Amlodipine Besylate Based on an MnC4Pc Coated ZnO Composite Materials

In this study, tetracarboxylic manganese phthalocyanine coated nano-zinc oxide (MnC₄Pc-ZnO) composite material was prepared by in-situ growth method and modified with indium tin oxide (ITO) glass electrode to construct a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor. A PEC sensor for the determination of amlodipine besylate (AB) was developed for the first time based on the principle of precipitation reaction between heavy metal ions and dihydropyridine and the recombination suppression effect of the material. The morphology and optical properties of the MnC₄Pc-ZnO composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). Chronoamperometry (i-t) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to study the PEC behavior of ITO electrodes modified by MnC₄Pc-ZnO composite material. The study found that the MnC₄Pc-ZnO composite material has a good photocurrent response to AB, and there was a good linear relationship between the concentration range of 75 nM-250 μM, the linear equation was I(μA)=−5.2×10⁻⁸×lgC+3.2×10⁻⁸ (r=0.9947), a limit of detection (LOD) of 20 nM. In addition, MnC₄Pc-ZnO/ITO also has good selectivity and stability. The PEC sensor detects amlodipine besylate tablets, amlodipine besylate dispersible tablets, and biological samples, with standard addition recovery rates of 96.11 % and 103.96 %, respectively. The determination result has good accuracy, and the PEC sensor provides a new method for detecting AB.

Validated HPTLC and HPLC methods for determination of fluorometholone and sodium cromoglycate in presence of their impurities and degradation products; application to kinetic study and on rabbit aqueous humor

Fluorometholone (FLM) and Sodium Cromoglycate (CMG) are co-formulated in ophthalmic preparation and showed marked instability under different conditions. Two specific, sensitive and precise stability-indicating chromatographic methods have been developed and validated for their determination in the presence of their degradation products and FLM impurity. Ten components were efficiently separated by them. The first method was HPTLC-spectrodensitometry, where the separation was achieved using silica gel 60?F₂₅₄ HPTLC plates and developing system of ethyl acetate: methanol (9:1, v/v). The second method was a reversed phase HPLC associated with kinetic study of the degradation process and was successfully applied for determination of the studied compounds in spiked rabbit aqueous humor. The mobile phase was acetonitrile: methanol: 0.05?M potassium dihydrogenphosphate (0.1% trimethylamine); pH 2.5, adjusted with orthophosphoric acid (20: 30: 50, by volume). In both methods, the separated components were detected at 240?nm and system suitability was checked. Good correlation was obtained in the range of 0.10–24.00 and 0.20–48.00?µg band^?1, for FLM and CMG by HPTLC. While for HPLC, the linearity ranges from 0.01–50.00 and 0.05–50.00?µg?mL^?1 for both drugs. The methods were applied in pharmaceutical formulation, where they were compared to the reported method with no significant difference.     

Determination and Quantification of Pitavastatin Calcium in Tablet Dosage Formulation by HPTLC Method

Abstract

A simple, sensitive, reliable, and rapid HPTLC method has been developed for the determination of pitavastatin calcium in tablet dosage form. Identification and determination were performed on aluminum backed silica gel 60F₂₅₄ washed with methanol. The mobile phase of ethyl acetate‐methanol‐ammonia‐1 drop formic acid (7:2:0.8) calibration plots were established showing the dependence of response (peak area) on the amount chromatographed. The spot were scanned at 245 nm. The method has a linear range of 50–250 ng/spot. The method was validated for selectivity, repeatability, and accuracy. The method was used for determination of the compound in commercial pharmaceutical dosage forms. It is a more effective option than other chromatographic techniques in routine quality control.     

Simultaneous HPTLC and RP-HPLC methods for determination of bumadizone in the presence of its alkaline-induced degradation product

Accurate, selective, sensitive and precise HPTLC‐densitometric and RP‐HPLC methods were developed and validated for determination of bumadizone calcium semi‐hydrate in the presence of its alkaline‐induced degradation product and in pharmaceutical formulation. Method A uses HPTLC‐densitometry, depending on separation and quantitation of bumadizone and its alkaline‐induced degradation product on TLC silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ plates, using hexane–ethyl acetate–glacial acetic acid (8:2:0.2, v/v/v) as a mobile phase followed by densitometric measurement of the bands at 240 nm. Method B comprises RP‐HPLC separation of bumadizone and its alkaline‐induced degradation product using a mobile phase consisting of methanol–water–acetonitrile (20:30:50, v/v/v) on a Phenomenex C₁₈ column at a flow‐rate of 2 mL/min and UV detection at 235 nm. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the analysis of bumadizone either in bulk powder or in pharmaceutical formulation without interference from other dosage form additives, and the results were statistically compared with the established method.

Comparison between HPLC and HPTLC densitometry for the determination of icariin from Epimedium koreanum extracts

Dry extracts of the aerial parts of Epimedium koreanum were quantified by HPLC and high performance TLC (HPTLC). A gradient HPLC method was used for the quantification of the prenylflavone glycoside icariin at 270 nm. A direct HPTLC assay was developed for the determination of icariin at 270 nm. The UV detection of both analytical assays were used to examine the purity of icariin peaks and compared with the standards. The assays provide good accuracy, reproducibility, and selectivity for the quantitative analysis of icariin. The icariin contents of five different dry extracts were compared by HPLC and HPTLC densitometry. The quantitative results of both analytical methods did not show any statistically significant differences between them, although a trend to slightly lower mean values could be found for the HPLC method.     

Validated HPTLC method for the simultaneous quantification of diterpenoids in Vitex trifolia L.

Vitex trifolia L. is an important Indian medicinal plant with diverse pharmacological properties. In a recent study, we reported the isolation and antitubercular activity evaluation of three new diterpenoids from its leaves; here we have developed a validated rapid, simple, precise, and accurate high‐performance TLC method for the simultaneous quantification of isolated diterpenoids in V. trifolia. Diterpenoids, 6α,7α‐diacetoxy‐13‐hydroxy‐8(9),14‐labdadien ( A ), 13‐hydroxy‐5(10),14‐halimadien‐6‐one ( B ), and 9‐hydroxy‐13(14)‐labden‐16,15‐olide ( C ) were separated on silica gel 60F₂₅₄ high‐performance TLC plates using chloroform/acetone (98:2, v/v) as mobile phase. The quantitation of diterpenoids was carried out using densitometric reflection/absorption mode at 610 nm after postchromatographic derivatization using a vanillin/sulfuric acid reagent. A precise and accurate quantification can be performed for compounds A and B in the linear working concentration range of 333–1000 ng/band and for C in the range of 670–2000 ng/band with good correlations (r = 0.9984, 0.9991, and 0.9994, respectively). The method was validated for peak purity, precision, accuracy, robustness, LOD, and LOQ, as per the ICH guidelines. The method reported here is simple, reproducible and may be applied for the quantitative analysis of the above diterpenoids in the leaves of V. trifolia.     

Catalytic degradation of Amlodipine Besylate using ZnO,Cu doped ZnO,and Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles from an aqueous solution: Investigating the effect of different parameters on degradation efficiency

Some common nanoparticles, such as Zinc Oxide have been used as nanocatalysts in many processes, but they also have an important application in water purification processes. In this research, ZnO based nanoparticles were used for the degradation of Amlodipine Besylate (AMB) and the effect of some main parameters, e.g. initial concentration of AMB, nanocatalysts dose, pH of the solution, temperature of the solution, H₂O₂ dose, and the time of visible light irradiation, were investigated. The destruction amount was determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by FE-SEM, XRD, FT-IR, BET, BJH, EDS, XRF and UV-Vis techniques. The maximum degradation of AMB was about 90% in 60 min of visible light irradiation with 100 μL of H₂O₂.     

Stability-Indicating HPTLC Method for Simultaneous Determination of Ezetimibe and Simvastatin

Simvastatin and ezetimibe are used to treat hyperlipidemia. A simple, selective and stability-indicating HPTLC method has been established for analysis of simvastatin and ezetimibe. The method has been validated so that both drugs can routinely be analyzed simultaneously. The method uses aluminum-backed silica gel 60F₂₅₄ TLC plates as stationary phase with n-hexane–acetone 6:4 (v/v) as mobile phase. Densitometric analysis of both drugs was carried out in absorbance mode at 234 nm. This system was found to give compact bands for simvastatin and ezetimibe (R _F 0.39 ± 0.05 and 0.50 ± 0.05, respectively). Linear relationships were obtained between response and amount of drug in the range 200–1,600 ng per band with high correlation coefficients (r ² = 0.9917 ± 0.0018 for simvastatin and r ² = 0.9927 ± 0.0021 for ezetimibe). The method was validated for precision, robustness, and recovery. The limits of detection and quantitation were 25 and 150 ng per band, respectively. Simvastatin and ezetimibe were subjected degradation by acid, pH 6.8 phosphate buffer, oxidation, dry heat, and wet heat. The degradation products were well resolved from the pure drug with significantly different R _F values. Because the method could effectively separate the drug from its degradation products, it can be used for stability-indicating analysis.

Electroanalytical Studies and Simultaneous Determination of Amlodipine Besylate and Atorvastatine Calcium in Binary Mixtures Using First Derivative of the Ratio‐Voltammetric Methods

The electrochemical behavior of atorvastatin and amlodipine at a glassy carbon electrode has been studied using different voltammetric techniques. First derivative of the ratio voltammetric methods for determination of amlodipine and atorvastatin in tablets in the presence of the other compound has been described. This technique depends on the measuring of first derivative of the ratio voltammograms of each concentration as a function of the increased concentrations. DP and SW voltammetric methods depend on first derivative of the ratio‐voltammetry by measurements of the selected potentials for amlodipine and atorvastatin. The linear response was within the range of 4×10^?6–1×10^?4 M for amlodipine and 2×10^?6–1×10^?4 M for atorvastatin. The proposed methods have been extensively validated.
