Nitroso-R-salt is proposed as a sensitive spectrophotometric reagent for the determination of paracetamol in aqueous solution. The method is based on the reaction of paracetamol with iron(III) and subsequent reaction with nitroso-R-salt to yield a green colored complex with maximum absorption at 720 nm. Optimization of the experimental conditions was described. The calibration graph was linear in the concentration range of 0.1 – 2.0 ?g mL-1 paracetamol with a molar absorptivity of 6.9 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1. The method was successfully applied to the determination of paracetamol in pharmaceutical preparations without any interference from common excipients. The method has been statistically evaluated with British Pharmacopoeia method and no statistical difference between methods was found at the 95% confidence level.

An organophosphorous insecticide monocrotophos is increasingly being utilized in agriculture to control insects on a broad range of crops. In this study a new reaction system using spectrophotometric method for quantitative determination of monocrotophos is proposed. The method is based on the bromination of monocrotophos to form dibromomonocrotophos which react with Potassium iodide-Potassium iodate mixture in the presence of leuco malachite green (LMG) to form a water soluble greenish blue colored complex. The change in absorbance as a criterion of the bromination reaction progress was followed spectrophotometrically. To obtain t he maximum sensitivity the effective reaction variables were optimized. The absorbance maximum was observed at 620 nm. Under optimized experimental conditions calibration graph was linear over the range of 10.0-60.0 µg. The molar absorptivity of the colored system is 3.66×104 L mol-1 cm-1 and sandell’s sensitivity is 0.25×10-2 µg cm-2. The calculated detection limit was 0.44 µg mL-1. The interfering effect of various species was also investigated. The present method was successfully applied to the analysis of monocrotophos in different environmental and water samples.

A new analytical methodology based on the competitive aggregation in a dye–surfactant–drug system is developed for the determination of gemfibrozil. Eriochrome Blue Black R (EBBR) and Didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDABr) were the dye and surfactant used, respectively. In the proposed method, the anions of the dye bind to the cationic surfactant molecules to form dye–surfactant aggregates, which are monitored from changes in UV-Vis absorption features of the dye. In the ternary EBBR–DDABr–drug mixtures, the drug competes with the dye to interact with the surfactant, which results in a decrease in dye–surfactant aggregates formation. This, again, causes a change in absorption properties of the dye. The measurement parameter is the difference between the absorption of the dye in the presence and absence of the drug. In the appropriate experimental conditions the absorbance differences are directly proportional to the drug concentration. The influence of several experimental variables such as pH, concentrations of buffer, EBBR and DDABr on the measurement parameter were studied. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration graph was linear up to 6.0 μg ml−1with the correlation coefficient of 0.998. The limit of detection and quantification were found to be 0.044 and 0.15 μg ml−1, respectively. The method was validated and applied to the determination of gemfibrozil in pharmaceutical preparations.

Four simple, sensitive and reproducible methods were developed for the determination of gabapentin (GPT) in pure form and in pharmaceutical preparations. Methods A and B are based on the reaction of cupric chloride with gabapentin to form stable complex, which could be measured spectrophotometrically at λmax246 nm (method A) or by using conductometric technique (method B). While method C and D depends on the formation of ion pair complex between the studied drug and bromothymol blue, bromocresol green respectively this was extractable with methylene chloride.

The aim of study was to develop and validate two simple, sensitive, and extraction-free spectrophotometric methods for the estimation of risperidone in both pure and pharmaceutical preparations. They are based on the charge transfer complexation reactions between risperidone (RSP) as n-electron donor and p-chloranilic acid (p-CA) in method A and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) in method B as π-acceptors. In method A, RSP reacts with p-CA in methanol to produce a bright pink-colored chromogen measured at 530 nm whereas, in method B, RSP reacts with DDQ in dichloromethane to form orange-colored complex with a maximum absorption at 460 nm. Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration range of 0–25 and 0–50 μg/mL with molar absorptivity of and L/moL/cm for RSP in methods A and B, respectively. The effects of variables such as reagents, time, and stability of the charge transfer complexes were investigated to optimize the procedures. The proposed methods have been successfully applied to the determination of RSP in pharmaceutical formulations. Results indicate that the methods are accurate, precise, and reproducible (relative standard deviation %).

Titrimetric and spectrophotometric assay of pantoprazole sodium (PPS) using permanganate as the oxidimetric reagent is described. In titrimetry, PPS is treated with a measured excess of permanganate in H2SO4 medium followed by the determination of unreacted oxidant by back titrating with a standard iron(II) solution. Spectrophotometry involves addition of a known excess of permanganate to PPS in H2SO4 medium followed by the measurement of absorbance of the residual permanganate at 545 nm. In both the methods, the amount of permanganate reacted corresponds to the PPS content. Experimental conditions that provide wide linear range, maximum sensitivity and selectivity, and accuracy and precisions have been optimized. In titrimetry, the calculations are based on a 1:1 (PPS : KMnO4) reaction stoichiometry and the method is applicable over 1.0-7.0 mg range. In spectrophotometry, Beer’s law is obeyed over the concentration range 15.0-150.0 µg mL-1. The linear regression equation of the calibration graph is A = 0.78 + 0.005 C with a regression coefficient (r) of 0.9982 (n = 11). The apparent molar absorptivity is calculated to be 2.213 × 103 l mol-1cm-1 and the Sandell sensitivity is 0.1954 µg cm-2. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) calculated as per the ICH guidelines are 0.73 and 2.21 µg mL-1, respectively. Accuracy and precision of the assays were determined by computing the intra-day and inter-day variations at three different levels of PPS; the intra-day and inter-day RSD was < 3.09 % and the accuracy was better than 3.5 %. The methods were successfully applied to the determination of PPS in three different brands of tablets with good accuracy and precision, and without detectable interference by excipients. The accuracy was further ascertained by placebo blank and synthetic mixture analyses and also by recovery experiments via standard-addition procedure.

A simple spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of zidovudine(ZDV) in bulk drug and in pharmaceutical preparations. The method is based on the oxidation of ZDV by a known excess of oxidant N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), in buffer medium of pH 1.5, followed by the estimation of unreacted amount of oxidant with metol and sulphanilic acid. The reacted oxidant corresponds to the amount ZDV. The purple-red reaction product absorbs maximally at 530 nm and Beer’s law is obeyed over a range 5 to 75 μg mL-1. The apparent molar absorptivity is calculated to be 5.1×103L mol-1cm-1, and the corresponding Sandell sensitivity value is 0.052 μg cm-2. The limit of detection and quantification are found to be 0.90 and 2.72, respectively. Intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy of the developed methods were evaluated as per the current ICH guidelines. The method was successfully applied to the assay of ZDV in tablet/capsule preparations and the results were statistically compared with those of the reference method by applying the Student’s t-test and F-test. No interference was observed from the common tablet/capsule excipients. The accuracy of the method was further ascertained by performing recovery studies via standard-addition method.
