Abstract A rapid and simple continuous method for the extraction of nifedipine from tablets was developed by using pressurized hot water at 150C. This is the first time that subcritical water was applied to the extraction of low-polarity compounds in pharmaceutical analysis. The method is based on the increment in solubility of nifedipine in subcritical water. Extraction temperature and static and dynamic extraction time were optimized in order to reach quantitative extraction of the drug from the tablets. After extraction, the drug was determined by spectrophotometry by measuring absorbance at 338 nm. Accuracy and precision of themethodwere determined by analysis of 10 synthetic samples of pharmaceutical formulations preparedwith common tablet excipients. Recoverywas found to be 99.2with a relative standard deviation of 1.9, which indicates that the excipients of the formulation do not interfere in the determination. The method was applied to the determination of the drug content uniformity in tablets.

Subcritical water extraction (SWE) of Inonotus Obliquus polysaccharides (IOP) was investigated using response surface methodology (RSM) with a design by Box–Behnken design (BBD). Results showed that the optimum SWE conditions for IOP production were as follows: extraction temperature 194°C, residence time 5.36 min and liquid-solid ratio 53 mL/g, yielding 168.80 ± 0.59 mg/g of IOP, which was in close agreement with the values predicted by the mathematical model. FT-IR spectra of the polysaccharides extracted by SWE and hot water extraction (HWE) were compared as well. Moreover, in vitro antioxidant assays revealed that SWE-IOP exhibited stronger scavenging activity that HWE-IOP. This investigation suggests that polysaccharides of Inonotus Obliquus extracted by SWE could be further developed as a potential antioxidant resource for dietary supplements of functional food.

A stability-indicating LC assay method was developed for the quantitative determination of fenofibrate (FFB) in pharmaceutical dosage form in the presence of its degradation products and kinetic determinations were evaluated in acidic, alkaline and peroxide degradation conditions. Chromatographic separation was achieved by use of Zorbax C18 column (250 × 4.0 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was established by mixing phosphate buffer (pH adjusted 3 with phosphoric acid) and acetonitrile (30:70 v/v). FFB degraded in acidic, alkaline and hydrogen peroxide conditions, while it was more stable in thermal and photolytic conditions. The described method was linear over a range of 1.0-500 μg/ml for determination of FFB (r= 0.9999). The precision was demonstrated by relative standard deviation (RSD) of intra-day (RSD= 0.56– 0.91) and inter-day studies (RSD= 1.47). The mean recovery was found to be 100.01%. The acid and alkaline degradations of FFB in 1M HCl and 1M NaOH solutions showed an apparent zero-order kinetics with rate constants 0.0736 and 0.0698  min−1 respectively and the peroxide degradation with 5% H2O2 demonstrated an apparent first-order kinetics with rate constant k = 0.0202 per min. The t1/2, t90   values are also determined for all the kinetic studies. The developed method was found to be simple, specific, robust, linear, precise, and accurate for the determination of FFB in pharmaceutical formulations.

A sensitive and precise HPLC procedure has been developed for the assay of amphotericin B in bulk samples and pharmaceutical formulations by using a C18 column [Kromosil, C18, (5 µm, 4.6mm x 250 mm; Make. Waters)], and mobile phase combination is 1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile in ratio of 45:55 V/V. The procedure has been validated as per the ICH guidelines. The λmax of detection was fixed at 407 nm, so that there was less interference from mobile phase with highest sensitivity according to UV analysis. Calibration plots were linear in the range of 10-100 µg/mL and the LOD and LOQ were 0.02 µg/mL and 0.06 µg/mL respectively. The high recovery and low relative standard deviation confirm the suitability of the method for routine quality control determination of amphotericin B in different formulations.

A spectrophotometric flow injection method for the determination of paracetamol in pharmaceutical formulations is proposed. The procedure was based on the oxidation of paracetamol by sodium hypochloride and the determination of the excess of this oxidant using o-tolidine dichloride as chromogenic reagent at 430 nm. The analytical curve was linear in the paracetamol concentration range from 8.50 x 10-6 to 2.51 x 10-4 mol L-1 with a detection limit of 5.0 x 10-6 mol L-1. The relative standard deviation was smaller than 1.2% for 1.20 x 10-4 mol L-1 paracetamol solution (n = 10). The results obtained for paracetamol in pharmaceutical formulations using the proposed flow injection method and those obtained using a USP Pharmacopoeia method are in agreement at the 95% confidence level.

ABSTRACT In this study, a novel method using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry coupled with ethanol and K2HPO4 aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was established for the quantitative determination of trace ethyl carbamate (EC) in red wine. The parameters that influence EC extraction in an aqueous two-phase system, including extraction temperature, time, pH, and ethanol concentration, were optimized. Method validation results indicated that the regression coefficient of the proposed method was 0.9979 in the linear range of 10 to 100 μg/L, and the limits of detection and quantification were 2.8 and 9.2 μg/L, respectively. Four red wine samples made from different grape varieties were processed by the proposed method for the repeatability verification, and EC concentrations were between 15.8 and 37.3 μg/L, with the relative standard deviations ranging from 3.5 to 6.6%. Results of the precision assay showed the average recovery of EC in red wine at 95.4 to 107.1%, with the relative standard deviations ranging from 1.4 to 6.2%. This method proved to be simple and reliable for quantitative determination of trace EC in red wine and would give guidance for quality monitoring of various red wines in the production process.

A chiral analytical methodology was developed by nano-liquid chromatography (nano-LC) enabling the enantiomeric separation of two chiral drugs, lacosamide (novel antiepileptic drug) and colchicine (antiuremic drug), commercialized as pure enantiomers. A capillary column lab-packed with an amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase was used in a lab-assembled nano-LC system. Lacosamide and colchicine enantiomers were separated in less than 8.0 and 9.0 min, respectively, with resolution values of 1.6 and 2.3, using 20 nL of sample and 1.8 µL of mobile phase per analysis. The analytical characteristics of the proposed methodology were evaluated according to the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines, showing good analytical performance with good recoveries (97–98% and 100–103%) and precision values (relative standard deviation (RSD) <10.5 and <3.0%) for lacosamide and colchicine enantiomers, respectively. LODs were 1.7 and 2.0 µg/mL for (S)- and (R)-lacosamide, respectively, and 1.0 µg/mL for both colchicine enantiomers. Additionally, the developed methodology enabled to detect a 0.1% of the enantiomeric impurities, fulfilling the ICH regulation requirements. The method was applied to the determination of lacosamide and colchicine enantiomers in different pharmaceutical formulations to ensure their quality control. The content of the enantiomeric impurities was below a 0.1% and the amount of (R)-lacosamide and (S)-colchicine agreed with their labeled contents.

Abstract A first-derivative spectroscopic method for the simultaneous determination of acetaminophen and sodium salicylate in tablets was developed. Solutions of this drug combination in acidic ethanol were analyzed using their respective spectral responses at 258.5 and 317.0 nm. The method, which can be used for tablet composite assay and content uniformity analysis, is linear for acetaminophen concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 21.6 μ/mL, and for sodium salicylate concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 36.0 μ/mL. Relative standard deviations for the assay of both drugs in commercial tablets were &lt;2%, and recoveries of acetaminophen and sodium salicylate from spiked samples were 99.7 and 100.1%, respectively. The results obtained by first-derivative spectroscopy were in agreement with the results of a liquid chromatographic procedure for acetaminophen and a fluorometric method for sodium salicylate. The technique used for the selection of wavelengths for analysis is also described.
