A new and direct colorimetric method has been established for the determination of catecholamine (methyldopa, MD) in both pure form and in pharmaceutical formulations. The method is based on the oxidative coupling reaction of MD with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride monohydrate (MBTH) and potassium ferricyanide at pH 10.4 in aqueous medium to form an orange product that has a maximum absorption at 460 nm. Beer's law plot showed good correlation in the concentration range of 1.0−56.0 µg mL-1, with detection limit of 0.31 µg mL-1. Molar absorptivity for the above method was found to be 6.56×103 L mol-1 cm-1. All the measurements were carried out at 25 ± 1.0 °C, the formation constant (logKf) value of colored species is 9.48 and the standard free energy (DG‡) is − 54.09 KJ mol-1. This method was applied successfully to determination of MD in tablets and the results were compared with the USP method. Common excipients used as additives in tablets do not interfere in the proposed method. The method is accurate, precise and highly reproducible, while being simple, cheap and less time consuming and hence can be suitably applied for routine analysis of MD in bulk and dosage forms.

Abstract A sensitive, precise and reliable indirect spectrophotometric method for the determination of chlordiazepoxide (CDE) in pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms is described. The method is based on oxidative coupling reaction between amino group resulting from acidic decomposition of CDE with phenothiazine in the presence of sodium periodate to produce an intense green soluble dye that is stable and shows a maximum absorption at 602 nm. The calibration plot indicates that Beer’s law is obeyed over the concentration range of 0.1?50 µg/mL, with a molar absorptivity of 1×104 L/mol cm and correlation coefficient of 0.9994.All the conditions that affecting on the stability and sensitivity of the formed product were studied and optimized and the suggested method was effectively applied for the determination of CDE in commercial dosage forms.

Simple, accurate and reproducible UV spectrophotometric methods were established for the assay of pyrilamine maleate (PYRA) based on the formation of oxidative coupling and precipitation, charge transfer complexation products. Method A includes the oxidative coupling reaction of PYRA with 3-methyl-2-benzathiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH) in presence of Ce(IV). The formation of oxidative coupling product with 4-amino phenazone (4-AP) in presence of K3Fe(CN)6is incorporated in method B. Precipitation/charge transfer complex formation of the PYRA with tannic acid (TA)/Metol-Cr(VI) in method C were proposed. The optical characteristics such as Beers law limits, molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity for the methods (A-C) are given. Regression analysis using the method of least squares was made to evaluate the slope (b), intercept (a) and correlation coefficient (r) and standard error of estimation (Se) for each system. Determination of pyrilamine in bulk form and in pharmaceutical formulations were also incorporated.

Sensitive, simple and a Precise spectrophotometric methods were development for the estimation reduced clonazepam (CZP) in purity form and in the pharmaceutical tablets from through using potassium bromate as oxidizing reagent for the drug and Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride (CPZ.HCL) as new chromogenic reagent. That led to forms colored products with a maximum absorbance of 530 nm. For the conditions reaction have been studied and optimized. The linearity range for Clonazepam was 0.05–3.5 μg/ ml, while the detections limit 0.0061 and the quantification limit 0.020 μg ml-1. The Molar Absorptivity 1.381×104 L/ mol cm with Shandell's sensitivity 0.0228 μg. cm-2. Finally the proposed methods were successfully Appling for estimation CZP in pure form and commercial formulations.

This study includes the development of a new sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of a hydrochlorothaizide in aqueous solution and pharmaceultical preparations. The method is based on the oxidative coupling reaction of hydrochlorothaizide with O-phenylendiamine reagent in a acidic medium pH 1.5 in the presence of potassium ferricyanide  to produce an intense orange color, water soluble and stable product , which exhibits maximum absorption at 450 nm. Beer’s law is obeyed over the concentration arange 6 to 48 µg.ml-1 of hydrochlorothaizide, with a molar absorptivity of  3602.17  L.mo1-1 .cm -1 , Sandell’s sensitivity index of 0.03 µg.cm-2 , relative error range not more than 0.215% , and D.L 0.0835µg.ml-1 . The method has been successfully applied for the determination of hydrochlorothaizide in tablets.   http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.24.2019.030

Phenylephrine is a medication mainly applied as a decongestant to relieve hemorrhoids, increase blood pressure, and dilate the pupil. It is the first-line choice for prevention and treatment of hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. However, many methods were used for the determination of this drug and its properties. This paper proposes a method that uses N, N dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride as a new chromogenic reagent (NNDPH). This method is based on the oxidative coupling reaction of phenylephrine with N, N dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride with ferric chloride in basic media to form green-blue soluble dye product. The outcomes demonstrate that the maximum absorption is at 680 nm, molar absorptivity of 5.54 × 103 mol-1.cm-1, and Sandell’s sensitivity of 0.038 μg.cm-2. The concentration range of 4 to 22 μg.mL-1 of the product is conformable to Beer’s law. Furthermore, it is applied successfully for estimating the drug properties on a simple condition or pharmaceutical preparations.

Easy, the accurate, sensitive spectrophotometric method used to determine Benzocaine in a pure and pharmaceutical preparation. The proposed method depends on using Promethazine hydrochloride as a reagent. Where it depends on oxidative coupling reaction of benzocaine by cerium ammonium sulphate with promethazine hydrochloride in the presence of hydrochloric acid to form green dye product, lmax 615 nm. Beers law is obeyed in the concentration of (5 –300 µg.ml-1). The molar absorptivity is (1.77 * 10 3) L.mol -1.cm-1, a sandal sensitivity of (0.0098) µq.cm-2 and RSD (± 0.56 %). The method gave a successful determination for benzocaine in a pharmaceutical preparation.
