Abstract A previously reported visible spectrophotometric method for the analysis of aminacrine hydrochloride in creams, jellies, and suppositories was studied collaboratively by 8 laboratories. Aminacrine hydrochloride was extracted into acidic ethanol and its visible spectrum recorded. The amount present was calculated by determining the net absorbance between the absorbance maximum at about 402 nm and one-half the sum of the absorbance of the minima at about 389 and 412 nm. Each collaborator received 4 creams (0.2%), 1 jel (0.2%), 1 molded suppository (6 mg/3.198 g), and 2 gelatin-encapsulated suppository samples (12 mg/6.661 g and 14 mg/6.863 g). The cream samples included blind duplicates prepared to contain 0.212% aminacrine hydrochloride, 15% sulfanilamide, and 2% allantoin. Mean recovery for the authentic cream was 104.7% with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 9.22%. The commercial products contained these respective amounts (CVs): creams, 100.0% (2.48%) and 101.5% (2.16%); jel, 118.0% (9.58%); molded suppository, 102.7% (1.88%); and gelatin encapsulated suppositories, 93.1% (1.0%) and 94.3% (1.60%). Standard aminacrine hydrochloride provided for the study was 99.6% pure by nonaqueous titration. Thin layer chromatographic identification of aminacrine hydrochloride was also tested collaboratively. The method was not adopted by AOAC.

Abstract A visible spectrophotometric method has been developed for the quantitation of aminacrine hydrochloride in creams, jellies, and suppositories. Aminacrine hydrochloride was extracted into acidic ethanol and its visible spectrum was recorded. The amount present was calculated by determining the net absorbance between the absorbance maximum at about 402 nm and one-half the sum of the absorbances of the minima at about 389 and 412 nm. Aminacrine and a trace contaminant, 9(10H)-acridone, were independently identified by different thin layer chromatographic systems.

Precise and accurate knowledge of peroxydisulfate ion concentration is critical in industrial polymer production, where it is extensively used as an activator. Its ability to oxidize in either acidic, neutral, or alkali media also makes it widely applicable in many other areas of chemistry.In this paper we present an optimized spectrophotometric flow injection method for determination of peroxydisulfate. The analyte oxidizes o-dianisidine to form a stable product which has a convenient absorbance maximum at 450 nm. This provides a simple and sensitive alternative to present methods which are more costly, tedious, or complex. Keywords: spectrophotometric method, peroxydisulphate.

Abstract A simple, sensitive, and rapid atomic absorption spectrophotometric method for aluminum in pharmaceutical preparations is described. No interference from other ingredients has been experienced in utilizing this technique. The reproducibility of the method has been reported for a lotion containing lipid base. The results of the determination of aluminum in 3 different commercial products are presented. This method, because of its simplicity and sensitivity, provides a distinct advantage over methods previously reported in the literature.

Abstract A spectrophotometric method for determining Fe2+, Fe3+, and total Fe in drugs has been developed, using α, α′-dipyridyl as the colorimetric reagent. The method is applicable to tablets, elixirs, injectables, and bulk powders. Eight collaborators analyzed a synthetic iron preparation and 7 commercial samples. For the synthetic iron preparation, the average recovery was 100.3% and the coefficient of variation was 1.02%. For 7 commercial samples, the average coefficient of variation was 1.44%. The method has been adopted as official first action.

Abstract A UV spectrophotometric method for the determination of caffeine in leaf tea has been studied collaboratively by 13 laboratories on four different types of leaf tea. The chromatographic cleanup procedures are those of the official AOAC chromatographic methods for caffeine in APC and in coffee. The coefficient of variation for all samples studied collaboratively ranged from 3.74 to 5.78%. The method is recommended for adoption as official first action.

Adsorption thin layer chromatography (NP-TLC) with densitometry has been established for the identification and the quantification of acetaminophen in three leading commercial products of pharmaceutical tablets coded as brand: P1 (Productno. 1), P2 (Productno. 2), and P3 (Productno. 3). Applied chromatographic conditions have separated acetaminophen from its related substances, namely, 4-aminophenol and and 4′-chloroacetanilide. UV densitometry was performed in absorbance mode at 248 nm. The presented method was validated by specificity, range, linearity, accuracy, precision, detection limit, quantitative limit, and robustness. The TLC-densitometric method was also compared with a pharmacopeial UV-spectrophotometric method for the assay of acetaminophen, and the results confirmed statistically that the NP-TLC-densitometric method can be used as a substitute method. It could be said that the validated NP-TLC-densitometric method is suitable for the routine analysis of acetaminophen in quantity control laboratories.

Abstract The USP analysis for procainamide HCl is titrimetric and relatively nonspecific, capsule and tablet dyes may interfere, and the method is not applicable to coated tablets. In the spectrophotofluorometric method the sample deteriorates when exposed to a xenon source. In the ultraviolet spectrophotometric method reported here, the sample is dispersed in acid medium, possible interferences are extracted in chloroform, base is added, procainamide is extracted in chloroform, the residue is dissolved in sodium hydroxide, and the compound is measured by absorption at 272 nm and comparison with a standard. Recoveries of standards added to capsule, tablet, and injection composites ranged from 99.3 to 102%. Twelve collaborators reported duplicate assay results for all 3 dosage forms with per cent standard deviations for 5 samples ranging from 1.01 to 1.27%. The method has been adopted as official first action.

A study of extraction-spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace nitrite as 4-(4-nitrobenzenazo)-1-aminonaphthalene complex using n-amylalcohol and chloroform as organic solvents has been done. Results of the study showed that extraction-spectrophotometric determination of nitrite using n-amylalcohol or chloroform was very sensitive and had low limit of detection. Extraction-spectrophotometric method of nitrite using n-amylalcohol gave range of linear concentration 0.000-0.054 mg/L NO2--N, detection limit of 2.09x10-4 mg/L NO2--N, and sensitivity of 34.514 ± 0.398 absorbance unit per mg/L of NO2--N. Meanwhile, extraction-spectrophotometric of nitrite using chloroform had range of linear concentration of 0.000-0.100 mg/L NO2--N, detection limit of 8.99x10-4 mg/L NO2--N, and sensitivity of 18.353 ± 0.456 absorbance unit per mg/L NO2--N.   Keywords: Nitrite Trace, 4-(4-Nitrobenzenazo)-1-Aminonaphthalene, Extraction-Spectrophotometry

The oxidative derivatization method using potassium hydrogenperoxomonosulfate for the indirect spectrophotometric determination of Fluphenazine hydrochloride is presented. Potassium hydrogenperoxomonosulfate is introduced as a derivatizing agent for Fluphenazine hydrochloride, yielding the sulfoxide. This reaction product was successfully used for the spectrophotometric determination of the Fluphenazine hydrochloride. The UV spectroscopic detection of the sulfoxide proved to be a more robust and sensitive method. The elaborated method allowed the determination of Fluphenazine hydrochloride in the concentration range of 0.2-30 µg mL-1. The molar absorptivity at 349 nm is 5.6×103 (dm3cm-1mol-1). The limit of quantification, LOQ (10S) is 0.24 µg/mL. A new spectrophotometric technique was developed and the possibility of quantitative determination of Fluphenazine hydrochloride in tablets 5.0 mg was demonstrated. The present method is precise, accurate and excipients did not interfere. RSD for Fluphenazine Hydrochloride 5.0 mg tablets was 1.37 %.
