Simple, rapid and sensitive methods are described for the spectrophotometric determination of citalopram hydrobromide (CIT) in pharmaceuticals. The method A is based on the oxidation of citalopram by a known excess of bromate-bromide mixture in hydrochloric acid medium, reduction of the residual oxidant by a fixed amount of iron(II) and the formation of iron(III)-thiocyanate-complex which is measured at 480 nm. In the method B, 1,10-phenanthroline is used as a complexing agent and the formation of iron(II)-1,10-phenanthroline, which is measured at 510 nm. The system obeys Beer’s law in the concentration range of 1.0-7.0 μg mL-1 of CIT for method A and 0.6-6.2 μg mL-1 of CIT for method B. No interference observed from common pharmaceutical adjuvants. Both methods are equally precise as shown by the relative standard deviation values less than 2%. The apparent molar absorptivities and Sandell’s sensitivity for method A and B are found to be 2.10x104 L mol-1 cm-1, 0.019 μg cm-2 , 7.30x104 L mol-1 cm-1 and 5.5x10-3 μg cm-2, respectively. The methods have been successfully applied to the determination of citalopram hydrobromide in pure and dosage forms.

A spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of low concentrations of sulfoxide in water, relying on the formation of a leuco-compound from the reaction of L-tryptophan with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and its oxidation by sulfoxide in hydrochloric acid medium. The optimum conditions for the determination were found by using the simplex method. The calibration curve, measured at 620 nm, is linear up to the sulfoxide concentration 7.5 . 10-5 mol l-1 (i.e. 17.3 ppm), the limit of determination is 0.1 ppm, the reproducibility, expressed as the relative standard deviation (for n = 6) is 3-4%. Oxidants interfere with the determination. Nitrates can be removed by means of a strongly basic anion exchanger in the chloride form. Mixture water-acetone (6 + 1) passing with a low flow rate should be applied to the elution of the partly sorbed sulfoxide.

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 The formation of a red complex between boron and the quinalizarin reagent was investigated and used as the basis for a simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method for boron in date cultivars. At 620 nm, the absorbance was linear (r= 0.999) over the 0.25-2.5 μg/mL concentration range. The molar absorptivity was found to be 2.23 x 103mol-1cm-1 and the relative standard deviation for 10 replicates (1.0 μg/mL) was 0.97%.

The article presents the studies on the development of a method for the quantitative determination of lornoxime in suppositories using UV spectrophotometry. The optical densities of the test solutions were recorded at a wavelength of 375 nm. The absorption spectra of standard solutions of lornoxicam, as well as of tested solutions of suppositories were obtained. The relative standard deviation was 2.31%.

The proposed method is based on flotation–dissolution an easy, impressible, extractive spectrophotometric determination, explained for easy investigation of the organophosphate pesticide phorate (O,O-diethyl S-[ethylthiomethyl] phosphorodithioate) on trace levels. A molybdophospho complex is generated when prorate is treated with ammonium molybdate in acidic medium. As an ion associate complex with methylene blue the complex is present in between of the water and organic layers which is extracted and then dissolved with acetone. The greenish blue complex produced show absorption maxima at 660 nm. Beer’s law range is found to be 0.5 to 16 µg per 10 ml for phorate. The molar absorptivity is 0.989×103 L mol-1 cm-1 and sandell’s sensitivity is 1.00×10-5 µg cm-2. Also calculated the standard deviation and relative standard deviation for the above method were ±0.006 and 1.95% respectively. The method has been applied and checked for the determination of phorate in water, soil and vegetables.

A spectrophotometric method has been proposed for the determination of four phenolic drugs; salbutamol, ritodrine, amoxicillin and isoxsuprine. The method is based on the oxidation of 2, 4- dinitrophenyl-hydrazine and coupling of the oxidized product with drugs to give intensely colored chromogen. Under the proposed optimum condition, beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 2.5-17, 2-29, 4-33 and 5-30 μg/mL for salbutamol, ritodrine, amoxicillin and isoxsuprine respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.2, 0.83, 0.09, 0.84 μg/mL and 0.66, 2.79, 0.3 and 2.81 μg/mL in the same order. No interference was observed from common pharmaceutical adjuvants. The ringbom plots 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 dosage forms, which was compared statistically with reference methods by means oft- test andF- test and were found not to differ significantly at 95% confidence level. The procedure is characterized by its simplicity with accuracy and precision.

Abstract A method has been investigated for the determination of bismuth in pharmaceutical dosage forms by conventional dc polarography. The method is applicable to tablets, emulsions, suspensions, injectables, and bulk powders. A collaborative study has shown the method to be superior in accuracy and precision to the present official colorimetric method, 36.300- 36.304. The results from 16 determinations performed by 8 collaborators were: 100.0±1.5% recovery on a synthetic powder mix, a relative standard deviation of 1.9% on a commercial tablet sample, and a relative standard deviation of 2.1% on a magma sample. By comparison, the collaborative data reported for the present official method gave relative standard deviations of 3.4 and 3.2% on 2 samples of powder mixtures. It is recommended that the polarographic method be adopted as official first action.

Two new simple, precise, rapid and extraction-free spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the determination of gatifloxacin(GTF) using bromate-bromide mixture and two dyes, methylene blue and rhodamine B, as reagents. Spectrophotometric methods entail the addition of a known excess of bromate-bromide mixture to GTF in hydrochloric acid medium followed by determination of residual bromine by reacting with a fixed amount of either methylene blue and measuring the absorbance at 665 nm (Method A) or rhodamine B and measuring the absorbance at 555 nm (Method B). Beer᾽s law is obeyed in the ranges, 0.5-5.0 and 0.2-1.5 μg mL-1for method A and method B, respectively. The apparent molar absorptivities are calculated to be 5.6×104and 9.6×104L mol-1cm-1for method A and method B, respectively, and the corresponding Sandell sensitivity values are 0.0071 and 0.0042 μg cm-2. The methods were successfully applied to the assay of GTF in pharmaceutical formulations with satisfactory results.

Abstract A rapid method is presented for determining strychnine and brucine in liquid galenicals. At pH 5.0, both strychnine and brucine are complexed with methyl orange. After treatment with 0.1N NaOH, the liberated alkaloids are determined spectrophotometrically, using the 2-wavelength method of analysis. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of 4 batches of nux vomica tincture, nux vomica acid, and nux vomica alkaline mixtures. The method has a relative standard deviation of 0.52%.

Abstract Using 0.1N hydrochloric acid as solvent, mixtures of amodiaquine and primaquine have been measured at 282 and 342 nm. The concentration of each can then be calculated by solving 2 simultaneous equations. Excellent recoveries from authentic samples were obtained and the method proved suitable for routine analysis.
