Spectrophotometric estimation of ketotifen fumarate in pharmaceutical formulations

Four simple and sensitive spectrophotometric methods (A–D) for the determination of Ketotifen fumarate in bulk samples and pharmaceutical formulations are described. They are based on the formation of coloured species by the coupling of the diazotised sulphanilamide with the drug (method A, _max 520 nm) or by oxidizing it with excessN-bromo-succinimide and determining the consumed NBS with decrease in colour intensity of celestine blue (method B: _max 540 nm) or by the reduction of Folin-Ciocalteau reagent (method C: _max 720 nm) or by the formation of a chloroform-soluble, coloured ionassociation complex between the drug and Azocarmine G at pH 1.5 (method D: _max 540 nm). Regression analysis of Beer-Lambert plots showed good correlations in the concentration ranges 1–10, 2–12, 4–28 and 2.5–25 g/ml for methods A–D, respectively. The validity of the proposed methods was tested by analysing pharmaceutical formulations containing KTF: the relative standard deviations were within ±1.0%. Recoveries were 98.9–100.2%.     

Sensitive spectrophotometric methods for the determination of pindolol

Two simple, sensitive and reproducible visible spectrophotometric methods for the determination of Pindolol in amounts as low as 1 g are described. The first method is based on the oxidation of Pindolol by sodium nitrite under acidic conditions and the coupling of the oxidised intermediate withN-1-(naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (NED) to the colored product. The spectrum of the colored solution is strongly dependent on the length of the incubation period at room temperature during oxidation (3 min, _max 620 nm; 10 min or above _max 540 nm). Other couplers [diphenylamine (DPA) or 1-naphthylamine (-NA)] or indole derivatives (indole, tryptophan or isatin) when used instead of NED or Pindolol, respectively, also react to give a colored product with same maximum in each case irrespective of the length of the incubation period during oxidation. The second method is based on the coupling reaction involving Pindolol and 1,2-naphthaquinone-4-sulphonic acid sodium salt to form a coloured product (_max 660 nm). Both the methods have been employed to determine Pindolol content in bulk forms and pharmaceutical preparations.     

Assay of cisapride in pharmaceutical formulations by visible spectrophotometry

Three spectrophotometric methods (A-C) for the assay of cisapride (CPD) in pure and dosage forms are described. Method A is based on the oxidative coupling reaction of CPD with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride (MBTH) in the presence of ferric chloride to form a coloured species (_max; 565 nm.) Method B is based on the oxidation of CPD with Fe (III) and subsequent chelation of Fe(II) to form a coloured complex with 1,10-phenanthroline (_max: 520 nm). Method C is based on the formation of a coloured charge-transfer complex between CPD and chloranilic acid (_max; 555 nm). Regression analysis of Beer-Lambert plots showed good correlation in the concentration ranges 2.0–32.0, 0.4–6.4 and 25.0–450.0 g/ml for methods A,B and C, respectively. The validity of the proposed methods was tested by analysing pharmaceutical dosage forms containing CPD and the relative standard deviations were within 1.0%

Osmocene (and decamethylosmocene) is characterized by a lowest-energy ligand field triplet which occurs at _max=372nm (374nm) in absorption and 567nm (572nm) in emission. This orange–yellow phosphorescence is rather intense at 77K but is also visible at r.t.     

Spectrophotometric determination of clozapine in pharmaceuticals

New Spectrophotometric methods for the assay of clozapine (CZP) in pure and dosage forms are described. Method A is based on the oxidative coupling reaction of CZP with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride (MBTH) in the presence of ceric ammonium sulphate to form a coloured species (_max 570 nm). Method B is also based on the oxidative coupling reaction of CZP withP-,N,N-dimethylpheny-lenediamine dihydrochloride (DMPD) in the presence of sodium hypochlorite to form a coloured species (_max 690 nm). Method C is based on the formation of coloured charge-transfer complex between CZP and chloranilic acid (_max 540 nm). Regression analysis of Beer-Lambert plots showed good correlation in the concentration ranges 2–25, 10–120 and 15–300 g/ml for methods A, B and C, respectively. The validity of the proposed methods was tested by analysing pharmaceutical dosage forms containing CZP and the relative standard deviation values were within 1.0%.

Elastizitätsmodul und Dichte von kaltverstrecktem und druckbehandeltem Polyäthylen

Zusammenfassung Proben aus Polyäthylen hoher Dichte wurden bei Raumtemperatur mit verschiedenen Geschwindigkeitenv _ver auf einer Zugprüfmaschine verstreckt. Beiv _ver 10 mm/min beobachtet man eine fast isotherm verlaufende inhomogene Deformation, die zu Verstreckungsgraden=8–13 und mittleren Dichten = 0.80 g/cm³ in den verstreckten Probenbereichen führt. Die bei höherenv _ver bis zu 50 mm/min eintretende adiabatische Erwähnung ergibt höhere Verstreckungsgrade=13–18 und geringere Dichten = 0.64 g/cm³. Es existiert kein natürlicher Verstreckungsgrad. Der Dichteabfall mit zunehmendem kann durch eine Gerade repräsentiert werden; der ElastizitätsmodulE ergibt eine mit zunehmende Kurve.Nach einer Druckbehandlung der Proben mit 5600 bar bei Raumtemperatur erreichte ihre Dichte fast wieder den Anfangswert vor der Verstreckung, wobei keine Abhängigkeit von oder anderen Parametern zeigte. Der ModulE hatte zugenommen, aber nicht proportional zur Dichte. Der Vergleich von undE verstreckter Proben vor und nach der Druckbehandlung weist auf den Netzwerkcharakter von kaltverstrecktem Polyäthylen hin.Herrn Prof. Dr. K. Ueberreiter zum 70. Geburtstag gewidmet.     

Study of colour-developing factors in spectrophotometric determination of cyanide by the pyridine-barbituric acid method

Summary The decomposition of cyanide-pyridine-barbituric acid in the wavelength around _max=583 nm gives rise to formation of a new color species around _max=490nm. Both reactions are first-order reactions with the same K value of 0.066 hr^–1, but with opposite sign. The pH value, the nature and concentration of the buffer solution influence absorption to a considerable extent. A method for estimation of cyanide is suggested.

Simultaneous determination of yohimbine and boldine by first-derivative synchronous spectrofluorimetry

A method for the simultaneous determination of yohimbine and boldine in mixtures by first-derivative synchronous spectrofluorimetry has been developed. The method is based on their native fluorescence in 0.1N sulphuric acid medium. The constant wavelength difference chosen to optimize the determination was =_em -_em=82 nm. Yohimbine was measured at _ex//_em= 285/367 nm, and boldine at _ex/_em=272/354 nm. The range of application is 10–500 g/l for yohimbine and 1–50 g/l for boldine. The method was applied to the determination of yohimbine and boldine in synthetic mixtures and pharmaceuticals, with errors generally 2%. Relative standard deviations were about 2%.Dedicated to Professor Fermin Capitán on his 72th birthday     

Substituent dependence of the d-d transition band in the electronic absorption spectra of arylferrocenes and the corresponding arylferricenium salts

The electronic absorption spectra of 22 arylferrocenes and their arylferricenium salts with pentacyanopropenide (PCNP) were recorded. The attemptedHammett correlation of _max of the d-d transition bands of arylferrocenes revealed that this band is substituent dependent only for strong electron-withdrawing substituents. Excellent correlation of _max of the d-d transition bands with ⁺ constants was found in the case of arylferricenium cations. Good correlations of _max was also found with theE _1/2 oxidation potentials measured by cyclic voltametry.

Substituentenabhängigkeit des d-d-Überganges in den Elektronenabsorptions-Spektren von Arylferrocenen und entsprechenden Arylferricenium-Salzen

Zusammenfassung Elektronenabsorptions-Spektren von 22 Arylferrocenen und ihren Arylferricenium-Pentacyanopropenid-Salzen wurden gemessen. VersuchteHammett-Korrelationen des längstwelligen d-d-Überganges (_max) zeigten, daß diese Bande nur von stark elektronenanziehende Substituenten abhängig ist. Im Fall der Arylferricenium-Kationen wurde eine ausgezeichnete Korrelation zwischen _max der d-d-Bande und den ⁺-Konstanten festgestellt. Eine gute Korrelation der _max-Werte wurde auch mit denE _1/2 Oxidationspotentialen gefunden, die durch cyclische Voltametrie meßbar sind.

“Blue silver”: transformation of clusters and metal coagulation

The formation and transformations of blue silver ( _max 700 nm) during -irradiation of a weakly alkaline (pH 9) aqueous solution containing AgClO₄, polyacrylic acid (PAA), and isopropanol were studied. We believe that blue silver is a linear silver cluster stabilized on a polymeric molecule. During radiation-chemical reduction the cluster is transformed into new clusters ( _max = 365 and 460 nm). When all of the Ag⁺ ions present in the solution have been reduced, clusters coalesce and a new phase,i.e., colloidal silver particles, forms. The mechanism of the radiation-chemical transformations is discussed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 35–37, January, 1995.

Separation of food-related biogenic amines by ion-interaction reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Tyramine,histamine, 2-phenylethylamine,tryptamine and precursor aminoacids. Application to red wine

Summary Methods for the separation of food-related biogenic amines (histamine, tyramine, 2-phenylethylamine and tryptamine) have been developed based on ion-interaction reversed-phase liquid chromatography.Two different interaction reagents have been comparatively used, namely octylamine ortho-phosphate (at wave-lengths of 230, 254 and 280 nm) and octylamine salicylate (at a wavelength of 254 nm). The different elution sequence orders shown by the investigated amines for the two reagents are discussed and compared.The detection limits obtained were 20 ppb for tryptamine ( =280 nm), 500 ppb for 2-phenylethylamine (=254 nm), 400 ppb for tyramine (=230 or 280 nm) and 900 ppb for histamine (=230 nm).The method was applied to the analysis of a five years old Italian red wine, in which 2-phenylethylamine (at a concentration of 72±3 ppm) and tryptamine (at a concentration of 4.0±0.3 ppm) were found to be present.     

Determination of metoprolol in human plasma by column switching high-performance liquid chromatography

Summary Retention characteristics of metoprolol have been studied in reversed phase mode on RP2, RP8 and CN columns. The plots of retention time as a function of the acetonitrile content and of the ionic strength of the mobile phase permitted the choice of the best conditions to separate metoprolol from plasma components by switching of these three types of columns.Human plasma (0.5–1 ml) diluted with water is first injected on a RP2 column (25–40 m particle diameter, prepared by dry packing) and rinsed with water. The sample is then back eluted with acetonitrile-0.022 M acetate buffer (7525, v:v) and switched to a CN column (10 cm long, 5 m particle diameter). The heart cut of the eluate is selected and loaded on a RP8 analytical column (25 cm long, 5 m particle diameter) with acetonitrile-0.088 M acetate buffer (7525, v:v) as mobile phase.Auto-sampler and switching valves are actuated automatically by a computing integrator based on a fixed time schedule. The duration of one cycle is about 30 min, but the last analytical step is about 15 min and represents the time interval between two injections. Metoprolol, its alpha-hydroxy metabolite and the internal standard are detected by fluorescence (_ex= 225 nm; _em > 320 nm).Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982     

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) Heterogeneity: A Differential Cyclic Voltabsorptometry Study

A voltabsorptometry study of the redox behavior of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) films in tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate solutions in acetonitrile shows the polymer to exhibit heterogeneous properties when both reduced and oxidized. The measurements are taken at characteristic wavelengths selected on the basis of stationary absorption spectra. The reduced polymer's heterogeneity is explained under the assumption that the polymer contains simultaneously linear ( = 530 nm) and spiral ( = 660 nm) structures. The formation of two oxidized polymer states is proved experimentally. Both states presumably result from strong ( = 880 nm) and weak ( = 1050 nm) interactions between the anion and the positively charged polymer chain. The oxidized 880-nm state is shown to arise from the 660-nm state, whereas the 1050-nm state forms of the 530-nm state.
