Diverse Modes of Solvent Inclusion in Crystalline Pseudopolymorphs of the Anthelmintic Drug Niclosamide

Single crystal X-ray structures of solvated forms of theanthelmintic drug Niclosamide reveal distinctly differentmodes of inclusion for different solvents. These modes are,respectively, cavity occupation by water molecules in 1 : 1niclosamide.H₂O, channel occupation by tetrahydrofuranmolecules in 1 : 1 niclosamide.THF, and intercalation bytetraethylene glycol molecules in 2 : 1 niclosamide.TEG. Inall three compounds the host drug molecule adopts the same,nearly planar conformation, which is maintained by anintramolecular N-H.O hydrogen bond. Host-guest recognitioninvariably involves hydrogen bonding between the drughydroxyl group and an oxygen acceptor atom of the solventmolecule. The observed modes of solvent inclusion can bereconciled with the behaviour of the crystals on heating.

Chemistry of Phosphorus Ylides. Part 22 [1]. Effect of Newly Synthesized Niclosamide Mannich Bases,Phosphopyranones, Phosphoranylidenes,and Oxaphosphinin on Some Metabolic Aspects of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Biomphalaria Alexandrina</Emphasis>

Summary. Niclosamide reacts with secondary amines and formaldehyde under the condition of Mannich reaction, to give new Mannich bases. The reaction of these niclosamide Mannich bases with active phosphacumulene ylides affords the corresponding phenyliminopyranone, pyranone, and pyranthione, respectively. When Wittig reaction was carried out on the pyranone, using p-nitrobenzaldehyde, a new arylidene and triphenylphosphine oxide were obtained. On the other hand, stabilized phosphonium ylides affect the transylidation of niclosamide Mannich bases to the corresponding phosphoranylidenes. When diphenylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane reacts with a niclosamide Mannich base, an oxaphosphinin was obtained. The molluscicidal potency of the newly synthesized derivatives against Biomphalaria alexandrina was studied, too.     

Development and validation of stability indicating RP-HPLC and HPTLC for determination of Niclosamide in bulk and in synthetic mixture

Two simple, specific, sensitive, accurate and precise stability indicating methods were described for quantitative determination of the anthelmintics drug Niclosamide. The first method was high performance liquid chromatographic with the use of a reversed phase hibar^R C-18 column (250 mm × 4.66 mm, 5 μm) and mobile phase of methanol: 1 mM ammonium phosphate buffer (85:15 v/v) at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min. The retention time of drug was found to be 6.45 ± 0.02 min. Quantification of drug was achieved with diode array detection (DAD) at 332 nm. Linear calibration curve was obtained in concentration range 0.01–100 μg/mL with r² value of 0.999. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were found to be 0.048 μg/mL and 0.01 μg/ml respectively. The second method involved a high performance thin layer liquid chromatographic. Chromatographic separation was carried out with precoated silica gel G60 F254 aluminum sheets using toluene:ethyl acetate (7:3% v/v) as a mobile phase. Linearity of proposed method was found to be 200–700 ng/band at 332 nm with retention factor of 0.59 and r² value of 0.998. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were found to be 36.21 ng/band and 109.7 ng/band respectively. Both the developed methods were successfully validated as per International Conference on Harmonization guideline (ICH). Niclosamide was subjected to different stress conditions. The degraded product peaks were well resolved from the pure drug peak with significant difference in their retention time. Stress samples were successfully assayed by developed high performance liquid chromatographic and high performance thin layer liquid chromatographic method. Statistically analysis proves that there were no statistical significant differences between two developed methods.     

Niclosamide & challenges in chemical modifications: A broad review on enhancement of solubility

Niclosamide is classified under World Health Organization's crucial medicines and it is categorized as an anthelmintic drug to target tapeworm infections. In recent findings it is successfully repurposed as a multifunctional drug effective against many diseases. The approach for synthesis of niclosamide is very crisp, simple and affordable. Besides these outstanding activities and easy method of synthesis, the poor solubility which down regulate the bioavailability of niclosamide has prevented its advance development for clinical therapy. This article reviews various methods studied by vast researchers to enhance the solubility which lead to increased efficacy and potential in targeting the diseases. The review also focuses on the application of niclosamide derivatives in different therapeutic uses which proves its broad and vast activity to treat many diseases.

Selective Differential Spectrophotometric Methods for Determination of Niclosamide and Drotaverine Hydrochloride

ABSTRACT

Differential (ΔA), second derivative (ΔD²) and third derivative (ΔD³) differential ultraviolet spectrophotometric methods have been presented for the quantitation of niclosamide and drotaverine hydrochloride in pure forms and in their pharmaceutical formulations. For niclosamide, the method is based on measuring ΔΔ A, Δ ΔD², A ΔD³ of niclosamide in alkaline solutions against their neutral ethanolic solutions as blanks. For drotaverine hydrochloride, the acidic solutions of the drug are measured against their alkaline solutions as blanks. The proposed methods are sensitive, highly specific and advangageous over the conventional UV assays, since the interference of the excipients, impurities, degradation products or other accompanying drugs is nullified. Accuracy of the analysis with the proposed procedures is significantly greater than the classical spectrophotometric methods.
