Objective: A new, economical, precise, linear, sensitive, accurate, ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometric method for the estimation of new antiviral repurposing drug favipiravir as there is no reported simple UV spectrophotometric method for estimation. The efforts were made for development and validation of favipiravir as per ICH guidelines, because drug has a wide scope for formulations to be developed for treating different viruses. Methods: This method was developed using ethanol and water as a solvent. Favipiravir showed the absorption maxima at 234 nm. A Shimadzu UV–visible spectrophotometer (UV JAPAN 1801) was used to carry out spectral analysis. Results: The developed method was linear for a range of 0–10 μg/ml and displayed a good correlation coefficient of 0.9995. Accuracy of the method was estimated using a recovery study. The amount of drug recovered was found to be in the range of 99.30–99.91%. The % relative standard deviation value of intraday precision was found to be 0.408% and interday precision was found to be in the range of 0.348–0.693%. The % relative standard deviation found to be <2 which are indicative of the precision and reproducibility of the method. Detection limit and quantitation limit were noticed as 0.095 and 0.290, respectively. Conclusion: The developed UV spectrophotometric method was validated statistically for linearity, accuracy, precision, and sensitivity and results proved that the method can be employed for routine analysis of favipiravir.

Simple, accurate and reproducible UV-spectrophotometric method was developed and validated for the estimation of phenylephrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical nasal drops formulations. Phenylephrine hydrochloride was estimated at 291 nm in 1 mol⋅dm-3 sodium hydroxide (pH 13.5). Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 10–100 μg⋅cm−3 (r2 = 0.9990) in the sodium hydroxide medium. The apparent molar absorptivity was found to be 1.63×103 dm3⋅mol−1⋅cm−1. The method was tested and validated for various parameters according to the ICH (International Conference on Harmonization) guidelines. The detection and quantitation limits were found to be 0.892 and 2.969 μg⋅cm−3, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of phenylephrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical nasal drops formulations. The results demonstrated that the procedure is accurate, precise and reproducible (relative standard deviation < 1 %), while being simple, cheap and less time consuming, and hence can be suitably applied for the estimation of phenylephrine hydrochloride in different dosage forms.

Abstract A sensitive spectrophotometric method was developed for determination of paraquat, a widely used herbicide. Paraquat was reduced with glucose in an alkaline medium, and the blue radical ion obtained was measured at 600 nm. Beer’s law was obeyed at 0.1–1.2 ppm paraquat. The molar absorptivity was 1.26 × 105 L mol-1 cm-1. The standard deviation and relative standard deviation were ± 0.007 and 2.0%, respectively, for 5 μg paraquat/10 mL analyzed over 7 days. The method was free from interference by other commonly used pesticides and metal ions. The method may be used to the determine paraquat in plants, fruits, grains, water, blood, and urine.

Abstract A new second-order-derivative spectrophotometric method using zero-crossing technique measures quinapril (QUI) and hydrochlorothiazide (HYD) in 2-component mixtures. The procedure does not require prior separation of components from the sample. QUI was determined at a wavelength of 211.6 nm (zero-crossing wavelength point of HYD). Similarly, HYD was measured at 270.8 nm (zero-crossing wavelength point of QUI). Calibration graphs were constructed over the concentration range of 4.0 to 24.0 μ/mL for QUI and 2.5 to 15.0 μg/mL for HYD. Detection and quantitation limits were 0.85 and 2.5 μg/mL for QUI and 0.12 and 0.4 μg/mL for HYD, respectively. The accuracy (recovery 100.5–102%), precision (relative standard deviation less than 3.5% for QUI and 1.5% for HYD), selectivity, and sensitivity of the elaborated methods were satisfactory. The proposed method was applied successfully for the determination of both drugs in QUI-HYD tablets.

A simple and sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace selenium (IV) is described, based on its catalytic effect on the reduction arsenazo III (AsA III) with sodium hypophosphite (NaH2PO2) in a solution of 0.02 mol/L sulfuric acid and in the presence of cationic micellar media. The reaction rate is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of AsA III at 550 nm with a fixed-time method. The decrease in the absorbance of AsA III is proportional to the concentration of Se(IV) in the range 0.16–1.0 µg/L after a fixed time of 4–10 min from the initiation of the reaction. The limit of detection is 0.049 µg/L Se(IV). The influence of th e factors such as acidity, concentration of reactants, type and concentration of surfactants, reactive time, temperature and co-existing ions on the reaction is discussed. The optimum reaction conditions of reaction are established and some kinetic parameters are determined; the apparent activation energy of catalytic reaction is 59.51 kJ/mol. The relative standard deviation for eleven replicate determination of 0.02, and 0.01µg/25mL Se(IV) was 2.0 % and 2.4 %, respectively. Combined with sulphydryl dextrane gel (SDG) separation and enriching, the method has been successfully applied to the determination of Se (IV) in foodstuff and human hair samples with the relative standard deviation of 2.1 %–5.8 % and the recovery of 97.0 %–103.3 %, the results are in good agreement with those provided by ICP-AES method.

AbstractA new spectrophotometric method, suitable for routine determination of nitrate in tobacco, is described. Quantities as low as 0.05 % of nitrate in tobacco are determinable, the results can be reproduced very well (RSD (relative standard deviation) = 1.43 % for 0.7 % of nitrate in tobacco). 15-20 determinations per day and per person can be performed. The figures obtained by this method are identical with those obtained by other methods. Interferences by other compounds have not been observed. Commercial cigarettes show contents of nitrate in tobacco in the range between 2 % and 0.04 %.
