Four simple, sensitive, accurate and rapid visible spectrophotometric methods (A, B, C and D) have been developed for the estimation of sulfadoxine in pharmaceutical preparations. They are based on the diazotization of sulfadoxine with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid followed by coupling withN-(1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (Method A) to form pink coloured chromogen, diphenylamine (Method B) to form light pink coloured chromogen, chromotropic acid (in alkaline medium) (Method C) to form orange coloured chromogen, Resorcinol (in alkaline medium) (Method D) to form light orange coloured chromogen and exhibiting absorption maxima (λmax) at 536 nm, 524 nm, 520 nm and 496 nm respectively. The coloured chromogens formed are stable for more than 2 h. Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 1.0 - 5.0 μg/mL in Method A , 5.0 - 25.0 μg/mL in Method B, 5.0 - 25.0 μg/mL in Method C and 4.0 - 8.0 μg/mL in Method D respectively. The results of the three analysis have been validated statistically and by recovery studies. The results obtained in the proposed methods are in good agreements with labeled amounts, when marketed pharmaceutical preparations are analyzed.

Three simple, selective and rapid spectrophotometric methods have been established for the determination of cinitapride hydrogen tartrate (CHT) in pharmaceutical tablets. The proposed methods are based on the diazotization of CHT with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid, followed by coupling with resorcinol, 1-benzoylacetone and 8-hydroxyquinoline in alkaline medium for methods A, B and C respectively. The formed azo dyes are measured at 442, 465 and 552 nm for methods A, B and C respectively. The parameters that affect the reaction were carefully optimized. Under optimum conditions, Beer?s law is obeyed over the ranges 2.0-32.0, 1.0-24.0 and 1.0-20.0 ?g. mL-1 for methods A, B, and C, respectively. The calculated molar absorptivity values are 1.2853 x104, 1.9624 x104 and 3.92 x104 L.mol-1.cm-1 for methods A, B and C, respectively. The results of the proposed procedures were validated statistically according to ICH guidelines. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the determination of CHT in Cintapro tablets without interference from common excipients encountered.

New, simple, cost effective, accurate and reproducible UV-spectrophotometric methods were developed and validated for the estimation of sodium usnate in pharmaceutical preparations. Sodium usnate was estimated at 290 nm in water and phosphate buffer (pH 3):methanol (11:20 V/V). Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 0.1–5 μg·cm−3 (r = 0.997) in water and 1–12 μg·cm−3 (r = 0.999) in the phosphate buffer:methanol. The apparent molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity coefficient were found to be 3.16×104 dm3·mol−1·cm−1 and 11.58 ng·cm–2/0.001 A in water and 3.72×104 dm3·mol−1·cm−1 and 9.83 ng·cm–2/0.001 A in phosphate buffer:methanol, respectively, indicating the high sensitivity of the proposed methods. These methods were tested and validated for various parameters according to ICH guidelines. The detection and quantitation limits were found to be 0.0721 and 0.2163 μg·cm–3 in water and 0.163, 0.489 μg·cm−3 in phosphate buffer:methanol, respectively. The proposed methods were successfully applied for the determination of sodium usnate in pharmaceutical preparations. The results demonstrated that the procedure is accurate, precise and reproducible (R.S.D. < 2 %).

Two simple, sensitive and reproducible spectrophotometric methods (Method A and Method B) were developed for the determination of sulfamethaxazole in bulk and in dosage forms. Method A is based reduction of phosphomolybdic acid present in Folin Ciocalteau reagent by the drug sulfamethaxazole in the presence of sodium carbonate to form a blue colored chromogen having maximum absorption at 760 nm. Method B is based on the diazotization of the drug by sodium nitrite in acidic medium at 5°C followed by coupling with orcinol to form yellow colored species (λmax390 nm). Beer’s law is obeyed in the range of 5-25 μg/mL for method A and 2-10 μg/mL for method B. Results of analysis were validated statistically and by recovery studies. These methods are successfully employed for the determination of sulfamethaxazole in various pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids.

Two simple, rapid and green spectrophotometric methods are described for the determination of lisinopril medicines. The determination is based on the reaction of the primary amino group of the lisinopril with ninhydrin in aqueous medium (Method I) and reaction on the carboxylic group of the lisinopril with copper (II) sulfate (Method II). For both methods, optimal spectrophotometric conditions were established. The linear relationship was found between absorbance at λmax and concentration of drug in the range 40–60 µg/mL (Method I) and 0.592–2.072 mg/mL (Method II). Regression analysis of Beer’s law plot at 400 nm yielded the regression equation, y = 7.4929x – 0.0545 (Method I) and at 730 nm y = 0.0443x – 0.0832 (Method II). High values of correlations coefficient (R2 = 0.9917 (Method I) and R2 = 0.999 (Method II)) and small values of intercept validated the linearity of calibration curve and obedience to Beer’s law. The LOD and LOQ values were calculated to be 6.91 µg/mL and 23.01 µg/mL respectively (Method I) and 0.11 mg/mL and 0.36 mg/mL respectively (Method II). Intra-day and inter-day accuracy and precision were in acceptable limits. The proposed methods were applied for the quantification of lisinopril in tablets pertaining to three commercial formulations. Analytical eco-scale for greenness assessment of the proposed spectrophotometric methods showed that both methods correspond to excellent green analysis.

Abstract A sensitive spectrophotometric method for determining trace amounts of chromium(VI) is described. In the presence of acetate buffer, chromium(VI) oxidizes hydroxylamine quantitatively to nitrite at pH 4.0 ± 0.5. The nitrite diazotizes p-nitroaniline to form a diazonium salt that, in acidic medium, couples with N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride to form an azo dye with a molar absorptivity of 4.1 x 104 L/mol-cm at 545 nm. The color is stable for 5 h, and the system obeys Beer's law in the range 0-8 μg chromium(VI) in a final volume of 10 mL. The detection limit of chromium(VI) is 0.6 μg. Chromium(lll) can be determined after it is oxidized with bromine water in alkaline medium to chromium(VT). Extraction of the azo dye in alkaline medium with methyl isobutyl ketone followed by addition of methanolic hydrochloric acid permitted determination of chromium(VI) down to 10 ng/mL. The method has been used to determine chromium in alloy steels, pharmaceutical preparations, and industrial effluents.

Abstract Two simple, sensitive, and accurate spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the determination of levodopa (LD), methyldopa (MD), dopamine hydrochloride (DP), and pyrocatechol (PC) in pure and pharmaceutical preparations. The methods are based on measurement of the absorbances of tris( o-phenanthroline)iron(II) (method A) and tris(bipyridyl)iron(II) (method B) obtained by the oxidation of the catecholamines by iron(III) in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2′-bipyridyl at 510 and 522 nm, respectively. The absorbances were found to increase linearly with increases in the concentrations of the catecholamines, results which were corroborated by the calculated correlation coefficients (0.9990–0.9996). Beer's law was valid over the concentration ranges of 0.04–0.6, 0.06–0.75, 0.06–0.65, and 0.05–0.70 μg/mL in method A and 0.02–1.0, 0.04–1.3, 0.05–1.0, and 0.06–1.1 μg/mL in method B for PC, MD, LD, and DP, respectively. The common excipients and additives did not interfere in their determinations. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the assay of LD, MD, and DP in various dosage forms. The results were validated by statistical analysis.

We developed two fast, simple and sensitive spectrophotometric methods for the determination of ceftazidime in drugs by using phenolic reagents resorcinol and 2-methylphenol. The methods are based on a previous antibiotic diazotization in the medium of hydrochloric acid (CHCl=12 M) and its following azo coupling with reagents in an alkaline medium with the formation of effective analytical forms that allow determining ceftazidime and have maximum absorbance at 519 nm and 516 nm for resorcinol and 2- methylphenol, respectively. The azo coupling products of diazotized ceftazidime exhibit effective molar absorptivity in the range of (6.31–6.84)103 M–1 cm–1. Stoichiometric ratios of the azo compounds components were established using continuous variations methods and they were the same in both cases (1:1). The developed methods allow determining from 2.75 to 185.5 g mL–1 of ceftazidime with resorcinol (LOQ=2.54 g mL–1) and 0.32191.3 g mL–1 of ceftazidime with 2-methylphenol (LOQ=0.28 g mL–1). The developed methods have been successfully tested in the analyses of one-component preparations (powders for injection solutions).

We proposed two simple, rapid, and convenient spectrophotometric methods are described for the determination of Amoxicillin in bulk and its pharmaceutical preparations. They are based on the measurement of the flame atomic emission of potassium ion (in first method) and colorimetric determination of the green colored solution for manganite ion at 610 nm formed after reaction of Amoxicillin with potassium permanganate as oxidant agent (in the second method) in basic medium. The working conditions of the methods were investigated and optimized. Beer's law plot showed a good correlation in the concentration range of 5-45 μg/ml. The detection limits and relative standared deviations were (2.573, 2.814 μg/ml) (2.137, 2.498) for the flame emission photometric method and (1.844, 2.016 μg/ml) (1.645,1.932) for colorimetric methods for capsules and suspensions respectively. The methods were successfully applied to the determination of Amoxicillin in capsules and suspensions, and the obtained results were in good agreement with the label claim. No interference was observed from the commonly encountered additives and expectancies.
