Objective: The objectives of the present study were to develop and validate a mass compatible ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method to quantify the impurities in fluticasone nasal spray, and to establish a suitable container-closure system for the formulation. Methods: A gradient method was optimized with a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min, detector wavelength-240 nm, run time-25 min and 0.1% Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in water as solvent A and Methanol as solvent B. Results: The developed method was linear over the range of 0.07-1.10 µg/ml for impurity-I, 0.16-2.47 µg/ml for impurity-II, 0.67-10.0 µg/ml for impurity-III, and 1.29-19.3 µg/ml for impurity-IV. The limit of quantification (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) were established as 0.07 and 0.02 µg/ml, 0.14 and 0.05 µg/ml, 0.59 and 0.19 µg/ml, 1.06 and 0.35 µg/ml for impurities I-IV respectively. The percent relative standard deviation (%RSD) of the replicate analysis for impurities I-IV, was within the acceptance criteria (0.4, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.1% respectively) that proved the precision of the method. The accuracy of the method was studied from 50%-150% of test concentration and the results ranged from 100.3% to 109.4%. The container-closure compatibility study revealed that the solution stored in the glass container system did not generate any additional peaks in the chromatogram. Conclusion: Hence, the developed method can be employed by quality testing laboratories to quantify impurities in fluticasone propionate nasal spray. The study also suggests that glass containers could serve as a compatible system for the storage of fluticasone propionate nasal solution.

A simple and sensitive spectrofluorimetric method has been developed for the estimation of mesalamine (MES). Linearity was obeyed in the range of 0.1-2.5 µg/mL in distilled water as solvent at an emission wavelength (λem) of 501 nm after excitation (λex) at 332 nm, with a good correlation coefficient of 0.999. The limit of detection and limit of quantification for this method were 0.05 and 0.1 µg/mL, respectively. The developed method was statistically validated as per ICH guidelines. The percentage relative standard deviation values were found to be less than 2 for accuracy and precision studies. The assay results obtained were in good agreement with the labeled amounts of the marketed formulations. This validated method was extended to study the degradation behavior of mesalamine in various conditions such as acid, alkaline, oxidative, thermal, and UV effects. Although there was no degradation observed in oxidative, thermal, UV effect, 41.9 % and 11.6 % amount was degraded in acid and alkaline media, respectively. The proposed method was effectively applied to routine quality control analysis of mesalamine in bulk and marketed formulations.

Background: Sample preparation is one of the most challenging phases in pharmaceutical analysis, especially in biological matrices, affecting the whole analytical methodology. Objective: In this study, a new Ca(II)/Cu(II)/alginate/CuO nanoparticles hydrogel fiber (CCACHF) was synthesized through a simple, green procedure and applied for fiber micro solid phase extraction (FMSPE) of diazepam (DIZ) and oxazepam (OXZ) as model drugs prior to high-performance liquid chromatography-UV detection (HPLC-UV). Methods: Composition and morphology of the prepared fiber were characterized and the effect of main parameters on the fiber fabrication and extraction efficiency have been studied and optimized. Results: In optimal conditions, calibration curves were linear ranging between 0.1–500 µg L−1 with regression coefficients of 0.9938 and 0.9968. Limit of detection (LOD) (S/N=3) and limit of quantification (LOQ) (S/N=10) of the technique for DIZ and OXZ were 0.03 to 0.1 µg L−1. Within-day and between-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) for DIZ and OXZ were 6.0–12.5% and 3.3–9.4%, respectively. Conclusion: The fabricated adsorbent has been substantially employed to extraction of selected benzo-diazepines (BZDs) from human serum real specimens and the obtained recoveries were also satisfactory (82.1-109.7%).

AbstractA rapid and specific method was developed for simultaneous quantification of hydrocortisone 21 acetate (HCA), dexamethasone (DEX), and fluocinolone acetonide (FCA) in whitening cream formulations using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The effect of the composition of the mobile phase, analysis temperature, and detection wavelength was investigated to optimize the separation of studied components. The analytes were finally well separated using ACE Excel 2, C18 AR column having 150 mm length, 3 mm internal diameter, and 2 µm particle size at 35°C using methanol with 1% formic acid and double-distilled deionized water in the ratio of 60:40 (v/v), respectively, as the mobile phase in isocratic mode. Ten microliters of sample were injected with a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), and robustness were determined to validate the method as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. All the analytes were simultaneously separated within 8 min, and observed retention times of HCA, DEX, and FCA were 4.5, 5.5, and 6.9 min, respectively. The proposed method showed good linearity with the correlation coefficient, R2 = 0.999 over the range of 1–150 µg/mL for all standards. The linear regression equations were y = 12.7x + 118.7 (r = 0.999) for HCA, y = 12.9x + 106.8 (r = 0.999) for DEX, and y = 12.9x + 96.8 (r = 0.999) for FCA. The LOD was 0.25, 0.20, and 0.08 µg/mL for HCA, FCA, and DEX and LOQ was 2.06, 1.83, and 1.55 µg/mL for HCA, FCA, and DEX, respectively. The recovery values of HCA, DEX, and FCA ranged from 100.7–101.3, 102.0–102.6, and 100.2–102.0%, respectively, and the relative standard deviation for precision (intra- and interday) was less than 2, which indicated repeatability and reproducibility. The novelty of the method was described by forced degradation experimentation of all analytes in the combined form under acidic, basic, oxidative, and thermal stress. The proposed method was found to be simple, rapid, and reliable for the simultaneous determination of HCA, DEX, and FCA in cosmetics.

AbstractThe development of detecting residual level of abamectin B1 in apples is of great importance to public health. Herein, we synthesized a octopus-like azobenzene fluorescent probe 1,3,5-tris (5′-[(E)-(p-phenoxyazo) diazenyl)] benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid) benzene (TPB) for preliminary detection of abamectin B1 in apples. The TPB molecule has been characterized by ultraviolet–visible absorption spectrometry, 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance, fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS) and fluorescent spectra. A proper determination condition was optimized, with limit of detection and limit of quantification of 1.3 µg L−1 and 4.4 μg L−1, respectively. The mechanism of this probe to identify abamectin B1 was illustrated in terms of undergoing aromatic nucleophilic substitution, by comparing fluorescence changes, FT-IR and ESI-MS. Furthermore, a facile quantitative detection of the residual abamectin B1 in apples was achieved. Good reproducibility was present based on relative standard deviation of 2.2%. Six carboxyl recognition sites, three azo groups and unique fluorescence signal towards abamectin B1 of this fluorescent probe demonstrated reasonable sensitivity, specificity and selectivity. The results indicate that the octopus-like azobenzene fluorescent probe can be expected to be reliable for evaluating abamectin B1 in agricultural foods.

In this work a new enzymatic method for the determination of uric acid in human serum has been developed. The method is based on the oxidative coupling reaction between the N-methyl-N-(4-aminophenyl)-3-methoxyaniline (NCP) reagent and the hydrogen ? donor reagent N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3-methylaniline (TOOS), in the system involving three enzymes: uricase, peroxidase and ascorbate oxidase. Using this method uric acid could be determined in concentrations up to 1.428 mmol/L, with a relative standard deviation of up to 1.8 %. The effect of the medium pH and the NCP concentration on the linearity of the chromogen absorbance versus the uric acid concentration curve was investigated. The influence of the uricase activity on the maximum rate of uric acid oxidation was also examined. The use of the NCP reagent demonstrated a more precise and more sensitive determination of the uric acid compared to the determination with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AA) as the coupling regent. The sensitivity of the method determined from the calibration curve was 0.71 absorbance units per mmol/L of uric acid; the limit of detection was LOD = 0.0035 mmol/L and the limit of quantification was LOQ = 0.015 mmol/L of uric acid.

A spectrophotometric method has been proposed for the determination of two drugs containing phenol group [phenylephrine hydrochloride (PHP) and salbutamol sulphate (SLB)] in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The method is based on the diazotization reaction of metoclopramide hydrochloride (MCP) and coupling of the diazotized reagent with drugs in alkaline medium to give intense orange colored product (?max at 470 nm for each of PHP and SLB). Variable parameters such as temperature, reaction time and concentration of the reactants have been analyzed and optimized. Under the proposed optimum condition, Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 1-32 and 1-14 ?g mL-1 for PHP and SLB, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for each of PHP and SLB were 0.60, 0.52 ?g mL-1 and 2.02, 1.72 ?g mL-1, respectively. No interference was observed from common excipients present in pharmaceutical preparations. The good correlation coefficients and low relative standard deviation assert the applicability of this method. The suggested method was further applied for the determinations of drugs in commercial pharmaceutical preparations, which was compared statistically with reference methods by means of t- test and F- test and were found not to differ significantly at 95% confidence level. The procedure was characterized by its simplicity with accuracy and precision.

An attempt was made to develop a simple, selective, rapid and precise high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for simultaneous estimation of thymol and eugenol. Analysis was performed on a C18 column with the mobile phase consisting of solvent %A (water) and solvent %B (acetonitrile) with the following gradient: 0–1 min, 80 % A, 20 % B; 1–7 min, 40 % A and 60 % B; 7–12 min, 10 % A and 90 % B; and 12–15min, 80 % A and 20 % B at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. The compounds were well separated on a Thermo Scientific Hypersil BDS RP C18 column (4.6 mm × 150 mm, dp = 5 µm) and ultraviolet detection at 280 nm. The retention times of eugenol and thymol were 10.5 min and 11.6 min, respectively. Validation of the proposed method was carried out according to the guidelines of the International Council on Harmonization (ICH). The linearity of the method is good for thymol and eugenol over the concentration range of 1–50 ppm, and the r 2 values were 0.9996 for both thymol and eugenol. The calculated limit of detection (LOD) value was 0.5ppm and the limit of quantification (LOQ) value was 1ppm for both the analytes. The intra and interday relative standard deviation (RSD) of the retention time and peak areas was less than 3 %.The established method was appropriate, and the two markers were well resolved, enabling efficient quantitative analysis of thymol and eugenol.
