In this study a spectrofluorimetric method was developed to determine drug active compound in the tablets for albendazole (ABZ). For this aim, fluorescence spectra of albendazolee drug active compound in various solvents were taken, it was determined that the most suitable solvent was chloroform and excitation (λ_ex) and emission (λ_em) wavelength in a row was 360 nm and 440 nm in this solvent. Calibration graphics were drawn and shown linear at 0–2.5 mg/l concentration range (R²=0.9993). Albendazole quantity in the andazol tablets was determined from directly calibration graphs and with standard addition method. Results obtained with developed spectrofluorimetric method were compared with standard USP method and it was found no difference between two methods within 95% confidence limits. It was determined that proposed method was easy and highly accuracy method to be able to use in routine albendazole analyze for the quality control.

The fluorescence properties of piroxicam in various micellar media were investigated. It was found that the presence of 0.05M sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant (pH 1.5–2, nitric acid) causes an approximately 5-fold enhancement in the fluorescence of this drug. An experimental design approach based on central composite design was used to investigate the influence of the main variables (pH, SDS concentration and temperature) on the fluorescence signal. Based on the obtained results, a micelle-enhanced fluorescence method was developed for the determination of piroxicam in pharmaceuticals and also in spiked human serum (after extraction with diethyl ether).

Spectrophotometric Determination of Cephalosporins in Pure Form and in Pharmaceutical Preparations

Abstract

A spectrophotometric determination is described for cephalosporins, offering adequate sensitivity and good precision. The procedure applies successfully to a wide variety of cephalosporins, also in pharmaceutical preparations: cephalothin, cefacetrile, cephapirin, cefotaxime, ceftizoxime, cephaloridine, cefazolin, cefamandole nafate, cephalexin, cefadroxil, cefoxitin and cefuroxime. The method employs a reaction with ammonium molybdate in sulphuric acid medium. The antibiotic is heated at 91.5°C for 15 min and the absorbance of the coloured product is measured at 670 nm against a reagent blank treated similarly. Beer's law is obeyed up to 125 to 150 μg of cephalosporin in the 5-ml final solution. The effect of reagent concentration and reaction conditions are discussed.

LC Method with Precolumn Derivatization for Analysis of Mexiletine in Pharmaceutical Preparations

A isocratic, selective and accurate LC method of analysis of mexiletine in pharmaceutical preparations has been developed and validated. The method is based on derivatization of mexiletine with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan in pH 9.0 borate buffer to yield a yellow product. Chromatography was performed on a C₁₈ column (150 × 4.6 mm i.d.) with acetonitrile–water 80:20 (v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min^?1. UV–visible absorbance detection was performed at 458 nm. The retention time of the mexiletine derivative was 4.10 min, and response was a linear function of concentration in the range 0.5–4.0 μg mL^?1 (r = 0.9998). The limits of detection and quantification were 0.05 and 0.15 μg mL^?1, respectively. Method validation revealed precision, sensitivity, and robustness were acceptable. Low RSD values are indicative of high precision, and high recovery values are indicative of the accuracy of the method. Results obtained by use of the proposed method for analysis of the mexiletine content of pharmaceutical a preparation were compared with those obtained by use of the official method. The method has been used for analysis of pharmaceutical preparations.
