In this study, a sustainable HPLC-UV-DAD method was developed and validated for the determination of allopurinol in tablets and optimization of the dissolution test using factorial design. The separation of the analyte from the sample matrix was achieved in 3.01 minutes in a C8 column (4.6 mm X 150 mm X 5 μm), using mobile phase 0.1 mol L-1 HCl (25%) + ethanol (50%) + ultrapure water (25%) by UV detection at 249 nm. The method presented satisfactory analytical parameters of validation (specificity, selectivity, linearity, stability, precision, accuracy, and robustness), showing no matrix effects. The dissolution test was optimized by complete factorial design 23 and, the optimal conditions were: HCl 0.001 mol L-1, apparatus II (paddle) and 75 rpm. The analytical procedures and dissolution tests were applied to allopurinol tablets marketed in Bahia, Brazil, to evaluate the dissolution studies. The pharmaceuticals had similar dissolution profiles and first-order dissolution kinetics. This new and sustainable HPLC-UV-DAD method is friendly to the environment and can be used for the routine pharmaceutical analysis of allopurinol in fixed dosage forms.

The aim of this work was to develop and validate a simple, efficient, sensitive and selective method for the analysis of dissolution samples of mexiletine hydrochloride capsules by HPLC without the necessity of any time-consuming extraction, dilution or evaporation steps prior to drug assay. Separation was performed isocratically on a 5 ?m LiChrospher 60, RP-Select B column (250 x 4 mm ID) using the mobile phase buffer-acetonitrile (60:42, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.2 mL min-1 and UV detection at 262 nm. The elution occurred in less than 10 minutes. The assay was linear in the concentration range 50-300 ?g mL-1 (r2 = 0.9998). The validation characteristics included accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, limits of detection and quantification, stability, and robustness. Validation acceptance criteria were met in all cases (the percent recoveries ranged between 100.01 and 101.68 %, RSD < 0.44 %). The method could be used for the determination of mexiletine hydrochloride and for monitoring its concentration in in vitro dissolution studies.

In the present research, a zone fluidics-based automated sensor for the analysis of captopril in in vitro dissolution samples is reported. Captopril is reacted under flow conditions with Ni(II) (10 mmol L−1) in alkaline medium (0.15% v/v NH3) to form a stable derivate, which is monitored spectrophotometrically at 340 nm. The chemical and instrumental parameters were carefully investigated and optimized. The validation of the developed method was performed in the range of 5 to 120% of the expected maximum concentration using the accuracy profiles as a graphical decision-making tool. The β-expectation tolerance intervals did not exceed the acceptance criteria of ±10%, which means that 95% of future results will be encompassed in the defined bias limits. The variation of the relative bias ranged between −2.3% and 3.5% and the RSD values for repeatability and intermediate precision were lower than 2.3% in all cases. The limit of detection (LOD), and the lower and the upper limit of quantification (LLOQ, ULOQ) were satisfactory and found to be 1%, 5% and 120% (corresponding to 0.6, 2.78 and 66.67 μg mL−1 in dissolution medium). The developed method was successfully applied for the analysis of captopril in dissolution tests of two commercially available batches.

A dissolution test for mianserin hydrochloride in coated tablets containing 30 mg was developed and validated using a fast ultraviolet spectrophotometric method. The appropriate conditions were determinate after testing sink conditions, agitation spped and dissolution medium. The sink conditions tested showed that mianserin hydrochloride was soluble in 0.01 and 0.1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl), acetate buffer pH 4.1 and 5.0 and phosphate buffer pH 6.8. Then, dissolution tests were performed to investigate the drug release in each medium. Optimal conditions to carry out the dissolution test were 900 mL 0.1 M HCl and USP apparatus 2 (paddle) at 50 rpm stirring speed. The quantification method was also adapted and validated. The UV method showed specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy. The in vitro dissolution test can be used to evaluate the drug release profile and the data was used as an aid to establish a possible correlation with in vivo data.
