Sensitive, simple and green analytical methodology for simultaneous estimation of bambuterol and montelukast as a combined medication based on their native fluorescence character was developed. The method relies on synchronous spectrofluorimetry to solve the problem of the overlapping emission spectra of the studied drugs. Using second derivative synchronous spectra enabled the simultaneous quantitation of bambuterol and montelukast without interference. The peak amplitudes of the aqueous solutions at Δ λ = 20 nm were estimated at 284 and 304 nm for bambuterol and at 374 and 384 nm for montelukast. A linear relationship was achieved over the concentration range of 0.2–1.00 µg ml –1 for bambuterol and 0.4–2.00 µg ml −1 for montelukast. All factors and parameters were carefully studied to obtain the highest sensitivity and good precision of the proposed method. Additionally, the validation criteria were assessed in accordance with International Council of Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The method was used for the estimation of both drugs in their raw materials, synthetic mixtures as well their combined tablets with good agreement between its results and those from the comparison method.

A new, simple and specific spectrophotometric method was developed and validated in accordance with ICH guidelines for the simultaneous estimation of Amlodipine (AML), Valsartan (VAL), and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) in their ternary mixture. In this method three techniques were used, namely, direct spectrophotometry, ratio subtraction, and isoabsorptive point. Amlodipine (AML) was first determined by direct spectrophotometry and then ratio subtraction was applied to remove the AML spectrum from the mixture spectrum. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) could then be determined directly without interference from Valsartan (VAL) which could be determined using the isoabsorptive point theory. The calibration curve is linear over the concentration ranges of 4–32, 4–44 and 6–20 μg/mL for AML, VAL, and HCT, respectively. This method was tested by analyzing synthetic mixtures of the above drugs and was successfully applied to commercial pharmaceutical preparation of the drugs, where the standard deviation is <2 in the assay of raw materials and tablets. The method was validated according to the ICH guidelines and accuracy, precision, repeatability, and robustness were found to be within the acceptable limits.

The poly prescription and co-administration of more than two drugs to treat patients for the disease conditions are inexorable. Heparin is and anticoagulant often administered with fenofibric acid in cardiac treatments. A reverse phased high-performance liquid chromatography method based on photo diode array detection has been developed for their simultaneous determination from admixture. They were separated using potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate: acetonitrile (20:80, V/V), on C18 column, at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The retention time of Heparin and fenofibric acid was 3.8 and 13.1 min, respectively. The validation parameters were studied as per ICH guidelines to ascertain the validity of the method for the purpose intended. The linearity was observed between 0.5-3 I.U./mL of heparin and 0.25-1.5 µg/mL of fenofibric acid. The method was applied to a synthetically prepared admixture, and found to be satisfactorily resolving two drugs without any interference, with good precision and reproducibility in the established condition.

Abstract Background Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of communicable diseases which are prevalent in the tropics affecting more than one billion people. Treatment and prevention of these infections is very costly to developing economies. Helminthiases are classified among NTDs. The communities afflicted are poor and have limited access to essential resources for their livelihood. Poor-quality drugs for NTDs may lead to death or prolonged treatment without achieving the desired results. The limited resources used in purchasing poor-quality drugs will therefore be wasted instead of being put to good use. Most of the methods available for the analysis of benzimidazole anthelminthics utilize high-performance liquid chromatography. They are therefore time consuming, require sophisticated and expensive equipment, utilize rare and expensive reagents and solvents, and call for skilled personnel. A simple, rapid, and inexpensive ultraviolet spectrophotometric method of analysis would therefore come in handy especially in the analysis of many samples as occurs during post-authorization market surveillance for quality. Results The suitable solvent for the spectroscopic analysis was established as 0.1 M methanolic HCl. The wavelength of analysis was set at 294 nm. Upon validation, the method was found to have good linearity. The range over which linearity was established was way beyond the 80 to 120% of the working concentration specified by the ICH. The method exhibited good precision. Out of 32 commercial samples analyzed, five (15.6%) did not comply with compendial specifications. Intra-brand batch variation was also observed. Out of three batches of product A002T analyzed, one did not comply with compendial specifications. Conclusion A major limitation in the analysis of benzimidazole anthelminthics is the lack of reliable, simple, rapid, and low-cost methods of analysis with high throughput. The developed method serves to fill this gap. It can be used in the analysis of raw materials and finished products. It can also be used in the establishment of the quality of products prior to registration. The method will prove very useful in post-market surveillance of quality of benzimidazole anthelminthics.

Y2O3:Eu3+ thin film was synthesized by sol-gel method with inorganic salt raw materials, and the crystal structure and luminescent properties were investigated. By adding organic additive to the sol, a homogeneous film with high luminescent intensity could be obtained by dip-coating technique on the surface of alumina sheet and quartz glass. Structures of the films were studied by XRD and SEM. The excitation spectra of the films showed a wide excitation peak from 200nm to 260nm, and the emission spectra had a strongest emission peak at 611nm which revealed a close relationship with the calcining temperature.

Two simple, accurate and sensitive spectrophotometric methods were carried out to investigate through charge-transfer reactions of risperidone (RIS) as n-electron donor with various π acceptors: 7, 7, 8, 8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and p-chloranilic acid (pCA). The absorbance of reaction product was measured at 842 and 520 nm for TCNQ and pCA reagents respectively. Different experimental parameters affecting the reactions were carefully studied. The reaction pathway was postulated. The proposed spectrophotometric method was utilized for the analysis of RIS in pure form as well as in its pharmaceutical preparations. Under the optimum reaction conditions, Beer’s law is obeyed over the concentration range of 1-12 µg mL-1 and 10-180 µg mL-1 for TCNQ and pCA respectively. The limit of assays detection (LOD) is 0.114 µg mL-1 and 2.55 µg mL-1 for TCNQ and pCA respectively. The mean recovery percentage was 99.72 ± 1.06 and 100.50 ± 1.07 for TCNQ and pCA respectively. The results were compared favorably with those obtained by comparison method. The proposed method was validated statistically according to ICH guidelines.

Residual solvents in Pharmaceuticals are termed as organic volatile impurities. These are the chemicals that are used in the manufacture of drug substance or excipients or use in the preparation of final formulation. Most of the available methods use liquid chromatography which could be expensive and time consuming. Hence, an analytical methodology was developed for the quantification of residual solvents in Glipizide using a headspace gas chromatography (HSGC) with the help of flame ionization detector (FID). Methanol, acetone and dimethyl formamide as residual solvents were determined in Glipizide. Analysis was performed by headspace GC/FID method on Auto system- HS40. Nitrogen was used as a carrier gas and the separation of residual solvents was achieved by DB-Wax 0.25mm, 0.3mcm column. The thermostat temperature was 115 °C for 40 minutes for each vial. % RSD for nine injections obtained are in acceptance criteria. The correlation coefficient R2 obtained greater than 0.99. The method parameters were validated includes specificity, limit of detection and quantification, accuracy, linearity, precision, and robustness. According to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, a new simple, specific, accurate and precise method was developed and validated.
