Azithromycin (AZI) is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic drug, effective against a wide variety of bacteria. The present study describes a simple, accurate, reproducible and precise UV Spectrophotometric method for the estimation of AZI (pH 6.8 Phosphate buffer). The absorbance maximum (λmax) for AZI was found to be 208nm. The method reveals high sensitivity, with linearity in the 10 µg/ml to 50 µg/ml range. The lower limit of detection was found to be 1.6µg/ml and the limit of quantification was found to be 5µg/ml. All the calibration curves demonstrated a linear relationship between the absorbance and concentration, with the correlation coefficient higher than 0.99. The % recovery was found to be 99.72%. AZI was also subjected to stress degradation under different conditions recommended by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH).

Fosfomycin-based combination therapy has emerged as an attractive option in our armamentarium due to its synergistic activity against carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CRGNB). The ability to simultaneously measure fosfomycin and other antibiotic drug levels will support in vitro and clinical investigations to develop rational antibiotic combination dosing regimens against CRGNB infections. We developed an analytical assay to measure fosfomycin with nine important antibiotics in human plasma and cation-adjusted Mueller–Hinton II broth (CAMHB). We employed a liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method and validated the method based on accuracy, precision, matrix effect, limit-of-detection, limit-of-quantification, specificity, carryover, and short-term and long-term stability on U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. Assay feasibility was assessed in a pilot clinical study in four patients on antibiotic combination therapy. Simultaneous quantification of fosfomycin, levofloxacin, meropenem, doripenem, aztreonam, piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, ceftazidime/avibactam, cefepime, and tigecycline in plasma and CAMHB were achieved within 4.5 min. Precision, accuracy, specificity, and carryover were within FDA guidelines. Fosfomycin combined with any of the nine antibiotics were stable in plasma and CAMHB up to 4 weeks at −80 °C. The assay identified and quantified the respective antibiotics administered in the four subjects. Our assay can be a valuable tool for in vitro and clinical applications.

Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) has been recognized as a marker for the detection of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In this work, a novel monolithic solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent based on graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO) in starch-based cryogel composite (GO-Cry) was successfully prepared for BaP analysis. Rice flour and tapioca starch (gel precursors) were gelatinized in limewater (cross-linker) under alkaline conditions before addition of GO (filler) that can increase the ability to extract BaP up to 2.6-fold. BaP analysis had a linear range of 10 to 1000 µgL−1 with good linearity (R2 = 0.9971) and high sensitivity (4.1 ± 0.1 a.u./(µgL−1)). The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 4.21 ± 0.06 and 14.04 ± 0.19 µgL−1, respectively, with excellent precision (0.17 to 2.45%RSD). The accuracy in terms of recovery from spiked samples was in the range of 84 to 110% with no significant difference to a C18 cartridge. GO-Cry can be reproducibly prepared with 2.8%RSD from 4 lots and can be reused at least 10 times, which not only helps reduce the analysis costs (~0.41USD per analysis), but also reduces the resultant waste to the environment.

A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of methyldopa in pharmaceutical formulations. The method is based on the reaction between tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone (p-chloranil) and methyldopa, accelerated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), producing a violet-red compound (λmax = 535 nm) at ambient temperature (25.0 ± 0.2 ºC). Experimental design methodologies were used to optimize the measurement conditions. Beer's law is obeyed in a concentration range from 2.10 x 10-4 to 2.48 x 10-3 mol L-1 (r = 0.9997). The limit of detection was 7.55 x 10-6 mol L-1 and the limit of quantification was 2.52 x 10-5 mol L-1. The intraday precision and interday precision were studied for 10 replicate analyses of 1.59 x 10-3 mol L-1 methyldopa solution and the respective coefficients of variation were 0.7 and 1.1 %. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of methyldopa in commercial brands of pharmaceuticals. No interferences were observed from the common excipients in the formulations. The results obtained by the proposed method were favorably compared with those given by the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia procedure at 95 % confidence level.

Dispersive Raman spectroscopy with excitation by a red diode laser is suitable for quantitative crystallinity measurements in powders for pulmonary drug delivery. In spray-dried mixtures of salmon calcitonin and mannitol, all three crystalline polymorphs of mannitol and amorphous mannitol were unambiguously identified and their mass fractions were measured with a limit of quantification of about 5%. The instrument design offered high sensitivity and adequate background suppression, resulting in a low limit of detection in the range of 0.01% to 1%. This spectroscopy method has significant advantages over established techniques regarding specificity, sensitivity, and sample requirements.

A simple and sensitive ultraviolet spectrophotometric method for quantitative estimation of glipizide in presence of lipid turbidity is described to avoid false estimation due to diffraction by turbidity. UV detection was performed at 230 nm, 225 nm, and 235 nm, and the calibration curve was plotted between resultant of absorbance of [230 nm − (225 nm + 235 nm)/2] and concentration of analyte. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range tested (1–20 μg/mL) with limit of detection of 0.27 μg/mL and limit of quantification of 0.82 μg/mL. Percent relative standard deviations and percent relative mean error, representing precision and accuracy, respectively, for clear as well as turbid solutions, were found to be within acceptable limits, that is, always less than 0.69 and 0.41, respectively, for clear solution and 0.65 and 0.47, respectively, for turbid solution. Conclusively, our method was successfully applied for the determination of glipizide in clear as well as turbid solutions, and it was found that the drug analyte in both types of solutions can be detected from the same calibration curve accurately and precisely and glipizide entrapped in the liposomes or in proliposomal matrix was not detected.

Research on the diabetes mellitus (DM) treatment has recently been carried out, especially on discovering antidiabetic agents derived from plants. This study aims to determine the fabrication of microzone plastic-based biosensors, determine the optimal sensor conditions, analysis characteristics, and compare the biosensor with the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method. The results showed that the response time was 15 minutes, the linear range was 500-40000 µg / mL (R = 0.9989). The limit of detection (LOD) was 1109.6 µg / mL, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 3698.8 µg / mL. Biosensor filled up the precision parameters with an RSD value of less than 3.7% and an accuracy with recovery in the range of 95-105%. The biosensor is stable in storage at 25 ° C for 270 minutes and at chiller temperature for three days. The antidiabetic activity of the biosensor was compared with the UV-Vis spectrophotometer using the Independent Sample T-test and showed insignificant differences between the two methods.

A reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for determination of Thimerosal (TMS) in topical creams was optimized and validated according to the ICH guidelines which include accuracy, precision, selectivity, robustness, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), linearity and range. For topical creams, sample treatment is often an overwhelming step essentially due to its oily nature. For the first time a simple and robust extraction procedure for TMS using phosphate buffer (pH 5.5, 0.2M) was successfully developed. This method describes the TMS quantitation by HPLC in a topical product containing 0.01% fluocinolone acetonide (FLA) as the active molecule. The HPLC separation was achieved on a Column Symmetry® and a methanol: phosphate buffer (pH 2.5, 0.05M) 70:30 v/v mobile phase and wavelength 218 nm. Results from both standards and samples showed adequate validation parameters. Noteworthy, linearity was within the range 1.2 - 2.8 μg/mL. Additionally, robustness and TMS stability were established after sample extraction. The method provides an efficient and safe quality control tool for determination of TMS in topical creams.
