Abstract A derivative spectrophotometric procedure was established for simultaneous determination of propranolol HCI (PP) with hydrochlorothiazide (HTZ) and metoprolol tartrate (MTP) with HTZ in tablet preparations. The method uses first- and second-derivative spectra of tablet extract in 0.01 N NaOH solution. Ratios of analyte concentrations in the mixture were determined by the compensation technique. The zero-crossing point (ZCP) was also used to estimate the amounts of PP and HTZ in the formulations, and results were compared with those from the compensation technique. The results were found to be precise and free from interferences.

In this paper, a second-derivative spectrophotometric method of assaying Septalen ? pellets (Krka, Novo Mesto, Slovenia), which contain lidocaine 1 mg, and cetrimoniumbromide 2mg, is described. Lidocaine, 2-(diethylamino)-N-(2,6-dimethyl- phenyl)-acetamide, is a local anesthetic with pronounced antiarhythmic and anticonvulsant properties. Cetrimoniumbromide, N,N,N-trimethyl-l-hexadecanaminium bromide, is a topical antiseptic and cleansing agent. Lidocaine was determined at 250 nm using the "zero crossing" technique because the signals of centrimonium bromide and the colour ingredient are zero at this wavelength. Cetrimonium bromide was determined by correction of the peak amplitude at 215 nm according to lidocaine. In choosing the optimal magnitudes for the simultaneous determination of both drugs, the following criteria were considered: (1) the linearity of the calibration graphs as given by the correlation coefficients, (2) the intercept, (3) the sensitivity as given by the regression coefficient, (4) the degree of interference in the derivative measurement by the presence of the other compound, as given by the relative percent error and by the relative recovery, and (5) the reproducibility, as given by the coefficient of variation, calculated by recording the second-derivative spectra.

The present study describes employing second derivative spectrophotometry for simultaneous determination of atenolol and amlodipine in pure form and in commercial formulations. The method is simple, accurate, precise and economic. Zero crossing point technique was used for analysis of the drugs in the combined formulation. The method was found to be linear in the concentration range 5.0-50.0µg/ml of atenolol at 251nm and 5.0-45.0µg/ml of amlodipine at 264nm. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine atenolol and amlodipine in combined dosage as well as in a separate dosage. The obtained results were in good agreement with standard method.

Abstract A new method for the sequential determination of attapulgite and nifuroxazide in pharmaceutical formulations by first-and second-derivative spectrophotometry, respectively, has been developed. In order to obtain the optimal conditions for nifuroxazide stability, studies of solvent, light, and temperature effects were performed. The results show that a previous hydrolysis of 2 h in 1.0 × 10–1M NaOH solution is necessary in order to obtain stable compounds for analytical purposes. Subsequently, the first-and second-derivative spectra were evaluated directly in the same samples. The sequential determination of the drugs can be performed using the zero-crossing method; the attapulgite determination was carried out using the first derivative at 278.0 nm and the nifuroxazide determination, using the second derivative at 282.0 nm. The determination ranges were 5.7 × 10–6–1.0 × 10–4 and 3.7 × 10–8 –1.2 × 10–4M for attapulgite and nifuroxazide, respectively. Repeatability (relative standard deviation) values of 1.2 and 3.0% were observed for attapulgite and nifuroxazide, respectively. The ingredients commonly found in commercial pharmaceutical formulations do not interfere. The proposed method was applied to the determination of these drugs in tablets. Further, infrared spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry studies were carried out in order to obtain knowledge of the decomposition products of nifuroxazide.

A novel, simple, accurate, sensitive, precise and economical derivative spectroscopic method was developed and validated for the determination of cefadroxil and probenecid in synthetic mixture. First order derivative spectroscopy method was adopted to eliminate spectral interference. The method obeys Beer’s Law in concentration ranges of 4-36 μg/ml for cefadroxil and of 5-25 μg/ml of probenecid. The zero crossing point for cefadroxil and probenecid was 260 nm and 237.8 nm respectively in 0.1N HCl. The method was validated in terms of accuracy, precision, linearity, limits of detection, limits of quantitation. This method has been successively applied to synthetic mixture and no interference from the synthetic mixture’s excipients was found.

Abstract Measurement of acetaminophen by analysis of the second derivative of its spectrum is specific and sensitive. The method of extraction and the use of just one phosphate buffer as reagent makes this method very convenient. Readings are reliable from 10 to 1500 mg/L. A turnaround time of 20 min makes this method well suited for emergency cases. Precision and accuracy of the method are presented. Results are not biased by interferences, not even from N-acetylcysteine.

Abstract This paper reports a simple and fast method for the simultaneous determination of estradiol (ED) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MP) in pharmaceutical formulations by second-derivative spectrophotometry. Methanol was used to extract the drugs from formulations, and subsequently the extracts were evaluated directly by derivative spectrophotometry. The drugs were determined simultaneously by using the graphic method at 297.4 nm for ED and the zero-crossing method at 273.4 nm for MP. If both compounds are present together in a sample, it is possible to quantitate one in the presence of the other. The best signal-to-noise ratio was found when the second derivative of the spectrum was used. The linear ranges for determination of the drugs were 4.7 × 10−6 to 1.6 × 10−4 and 7.2 × 10−6 to 2.0 × 10−4 mol/L for ED and MP, respectively. The ingredients commonly found in commercial pharmaceutical formulations do not interfere with the determination. Chemical and spectral variables were optimized for the determination of both analytes. Good levels of repeatability (relative standard deviation), 1.4 and 1.9%, were obtained for ED and MP, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of these drugs in pharmaceutical formulations.

Two chemometrics-assisted UV spectrophotometric methods were proposed for the resolution of ternary mixtures without any chemical pretreatment. The first method is based on modification of H-point standard addition method which permits simultaneous analysis of three species from a unique calibration set by making the simultaneous addition of the three analytes. Quotient between the spectra of aspirin, atorvastatin, and clopidogrel was obtained and the results showed that simultaneous determination of aspirin, atorvastatin, and clopidogrel can be obeyed in the linear range 2.5–20 μg mL−1 of aspirin, 2.5–17.5 μg mL−1 of atorvastatin, and 2.5–20 μg mL−1 of clopidogrel in ternary mixture. The second method is based on the combination of the first derivative spectra and Cramer's matrix rule. In the matrix calculation, clopidogrel has zero crossing point at 316.8 and 212 nm, while for atorvastatin the zero crossing point at 250 nm where the matrix is greatly simplified and easily solved. The linear concentration ranges were 2.5–20 μg mL−1 aspirin, 2.5–17.5 μg mL−1 atorvastatin and 2.5–20 μg mL−1 clopidogrel in ternary mixtures. The results proved that the simultaneous determination of aspirin, atorvastatin, and clopidogrel could be obeyed. Both methods were applied for capsules containing the three ingredients and results were in good concordance with alternative liquid chromatography.
