Spectrophotometric Determination of Some Phenolic Antibiotics in Dosage Forms

 A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of some phenolic antibiotics namely: cefadroxil, amoxicillin and vancomycin. The method is based on the measurement of the orange yellow species produced when the drugs are coupled with diazotized benzocaine in triethylamine medium. The method is applicable over the range of 0.8–12 μg/ml for cefadroxil, 2–16 μg/ml for amoxicillin and 2–18 μg/ml for vancomycin. The formed compounds absorb at 455 nm for both cefadroxil and amoxicillin and at 442 nm for vancomycin. The proposed method has detection limits of 0.018 μg for cefadroxil, 0.0034 μg for amoxicillin and 0.0156 μg for vancomycin. The stoichiometric ratio for the studied compounds was found to be 1:1 and a proposal of the reaction pathway was made. The proposed method was applied for the analysis of the cited drugs in their pharmaceutical preparations. The results are in good agreement with those obtained by the official methods.

研究了头孢羟氨苄和头孢拉定对荧光素的荧光猝灭反应及相互作用机理。因形成荷移络合物,头孢羟氨苄和头孢拉定对荧光素的荧光强度有很强的猝灭作用。采用紫外-可见光谱、红外光谱结合量子化学计算分析了荷移反应过程,揭示了头孢菌素类药物的成键规律和反应机理。在此基础上建立了测定头孢羟氨苄和头孢拉定含量的荧光光谱法。络合物的激发波长和发射波长分别为483, 517和519 nm,头孢羟氨苄和头孢拉定浓度分别在0.3～13.5 mg·L-1和0.1～1.2 mg·L-1范围内为线性关系,相关系数分别是r=0.999 7和r=0.999 3。应用该方法测定了头孢羟氨苄和头孢拉定药物制剂含量, 回收率分别在99.63%～99.91%和99.71%～100.08%之间。测定结果与文献值基本吻合。     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Cefadroxil in Drug Formulations using flow Injection Analysis

ABSTRACT

A flow injection analysis method for the determination of cefadroxil is proposed. The method is based on the hydrolysis of cefadroxil in sodium hydroxide solution followed by treatment with 1,4-phenylenediamine and Fe(III) in sulphuric acid solution to produce a violet color which has a maximum absorption at 600 nm. Variables such as acidity, reagent concentrations, flow rate of reagents and other FI parameters were optimized to produce the most sensitive and reproducible results. The calibration graph is linear between 80 - 320 mg/l. The detection limit is 40 mg/l with a relative standard deviation, RSD (n=6) of 1.8%. The proposed method, combining the advantages of speed and accuracy was applied to the determination of cefadroxil in pharmaceutical preparations. The results have been compared with those obtained using HPLC method (USP-procedure). Excellent agreement between the results of the proposed method and the HPLC method was observed.

Selective spectrophotometric determination of phenolic β-lactam antibiotics in pure forms and in their pharmaceutical formulations

Four simple and selective spectrophotometric methods were developed for the quantitative determination of some phenolic β-lactam antibiotics (amoxicillin trihydrate, cefoperazone sodium, cefadroxil monohydrate, and cefprozil anhydrous) in pure forms as well as in their pharmaceutical formulations through their nitration and subsequent complexation with an nucleophilic reagent (method I), nitrosation and subsequent metal chelation (method II), coupling with diazo reagent (method III), and reaction with copper and extraction of the resulting chelate into chloroform (method IV). The reaction conditions were studied and optimized. Beer’s plots were obeyed in a general concentration range of 5-30 ug ml⁻¹ with correlation coefficients not less than 0.9997 for the four drugs. The methods are successfully applied to the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations containing amoxicillin, either alone or in combination with potassium clavulanate. They were also applied to the analysis of the other three studied drugs in vials, capsules, tablets, and suspensions with good recovery; percentage ranged from 99.0 (±1.42) to 100.2 (±1.25) in method I, 99.0 (±0.82) to 100.5 (±0.92) in method II, 99.5 (±0.09) to 100.8 (±0.98) in method III, and 99.3 (±0.01) to 100.2 (±0.05) in method IV. Interferences from other antibiotics and additives were investigated.

Spectrophotometric Studies On Determination of Some Cephalosporins and Amoxycillin With Chlorobenzotriazole and Sodium Hypochlorite

Abstract

Two simple colorimetric methods for the determination of certain cephalosporins (cefaclor and cefadroxil) and amoxycillin sodium are described. The suggested methods depend upon the oxidation of these compounds using sodium hypochlorite (SHC) and 1-chlorobenzotriazole (1-CBT) in alkaline medium and colorimetric measurment of the chromophore formed. The different experimental parameters are studied and incorporated into the procedures. The mean percentages found range from 100.0 ± 0.4 to 100.5 ± 0.9. The proposed methods have been successfully applied to the analysis of some pharmaceutical formulations and the results obtained have been statistically compared with those obtaind using the official methods. The proposed methods are convenient, rapid within the concentration range 15-123 μg. ml^?1.     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Cefadroxil and Metyrosine in Dosage Forms

Abstract

A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of cefadroxil and metyrosine in pure form and in pharmaceutical formulations. The method is based on reacting these drugs with 4-aminoantipyrine (AAP) in the presence of an alkaline oxidising agent. The coloured products were measured spectrophotometrically at 500 nm and 470 nm for cefadroxil and metyrosine, respectively. Beer's law was obeyed over the concentration range 1-28 and 2-44 μg ml^-1 for cefadroxil monohydrate and metyrosine, respectively. The molar ratio in both cases was established and a proposal for the reaction pathway was suggested. The percentage recoveries obtained were in accordance with those given by the reference methods.
