Abstract Proton pump inhibitors are the most effective agents used in gastric hyper-acidity-related disorders. Omeprazole is a benzimidazole-derivative compound with an asymmetric sulphur in its structure, which generates its chiral character. Esomeprazole (S-omeprazole) was the first proton pump inhibitor introduced as an enantiomerically pure compound in therapy, after the successful chiral switch of the racemic omeprazole. This work is aimed at performing a complementary study to an already published chiral separation method of omeprazole. As preliminary analysis, the electrophoretic behavior of omeprazole enantiomers and the possible mechanism of the chiral resolution was studied using different background electrolytes containing different β-cyclodextrin derivatives, as chiral selectors. The robustness of the chiral separation method was tested by applying a Plackett-Burman design. The method was validated according to current ICH guidelines and proved to be reliable, linear, precise and accurate for the determination of 0.2% R-omeprazole as chiral impurity in esomeprazole samples. The validated method was successfully used for the analysis of esomeprazole-containing gastro-resistant tablets. According to our results, valuable information on the mechanism of chiral separation of omeprazole was gained and the application area of the previously developed method was successfully enlarged. The presented rapid and cost-effective capillary electrophoresis method proved to be suitable for the determination of enantiomeric purity of esomeprazole from pharmaceutical preparations and could represent an alternative for the available compendial methods.

A simple, efficient and reliable analytical method was developed and used for the determination of the fluvoxamine drug (FLV) in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids. The method is based on the cost-effective screen-printed platform for the potential transduction of the drug. Host-tailored molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) was integrated with the potentiometric platform as a recognition receptor, in which FLV, acrylamide (AAm), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and acetonitrile were used as a template, functional monomer, cross-linker, and solvent, respectively. MIP particles were dispersed in plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) and the membrane was drop-casted on carbon screen-printed electrode. The MIP, in addition to non-imprinted polymers (NIP), was characterized and the binding experiment revealed high affinity and adsorption capacity of MIP towards FLV. The proposed sensor displayed near-Nernstian cationic slope of 55.0 ± 0.8 mV/decade (r2 = 0.999) with a low detection limit of 4.8 × 10−6 mol/L over a wide pH range (3.0–8.5). The electrochemical features of the proposed sensors including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronopotentiometry measurements (CP) in the presence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a solid contact transducer were also investigated. The applications of the proposed sensor for the determination of FLV in different dosage forms with recovery values (98.8%–101.9%) and (97.4%–101.1%), respectively compared with the reference HPLC method with acceptedFandt-student tests values at the 95% confidence level.

In the present study a rapid, accurate and precise chiral HPLC method was developed and validated for enantiomeric separation of racemate citalopram and escitalopram according to the guidelines of United States of Pharmacopeia (USP) and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). The chiral chromatographic separation was achieved with ammonium acetate/ ethanol/ 2-propanol/ methylene dichloride (100 : 150 : 70 : 30, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min using a chiral CD-PH column. The HPLC analyses were monitored at 254 nm. The method showed a good linearity with regression coefficient (r2) of 0.998 in the range of 20.0-70.0 μg/ml for escitalopram. The detection limit (LOD), quantitation limit (LOQ) and average percentage of recovery for escitalopram were found to be 2.54, 7.68 μg/ml and 100.28% to 102.86%, respectively. The percentage of relative standard deviation (%RSD) for intra- and inter- day precision were found as 0.16% and 0.09%, respectively. The established method proved as reproducible with a %RSD value of less than 2 and having the robustness within specified limit. The present study also showed the enantiomeric purity or excess (%ee) of seven pharmaceutical preparations of escitalopram. Thus the proposed chiral method can be applied for the enantiomeric purity determination of escitalopram formulations.Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 16(2): 165-172, 2017 (December)
