Chemical preservation has become an increasingly important practice in modern food technology. Sodium benzoate is a permitted food additive in restrictive amounts by international laws, but their content must be declared and must not exceed the established limits by legislation. An experimental study for the level of sodium benzoate in different brands of mango juices available in the markets, stores and shops in Tangail region of Bangladesh was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. A Luna 5 ? C18 (2) 100A column (250 × 4.6 mm) was used for the chromatographic analysis. Chromatographic separation was achieved with isocratic solvent system comprising of sodium acetate and acetic acid buffer (pH =4.0)/acetonitrile in the ratio of 80:20 (1 ml/min) at 37oC and the chromatograms were recorded at 254 nm. The limit of detection and quantification for sodium benzoate was 0.00076 mg/100 ml and 0.00231 mg/100 ml, respectively. Quantification of the selected brand juices revealed that the level of the used sodium benzoate was within the FDA standard range. But by comparing with the Bangladesh Standard and Testing Institute (BSTI), brand-1 and brand-3 of the analyzed juice samples was found to deviate the current legal limits. The percentage recovery was found to be 92.04 ± 1.98 to 98.01 ± 1.91. It was found that some of the brands used excess amount of sodium benzoate which may be harmful for our health.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 20(1): 20-26, 2017

A rapid, simple and highly sensitive reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method has been developed for the quantitative determination of Rabeprazole sodium and Aceclofenac in a combined dosage form. Rabeprazole sodium and Aceclofenac were chromatographed using C-18 column as stationary phase and methanol: acetonitrile: water (60 : 10 : 30 v/v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min at ambient temperature and detected at 280 nm. The retention time (RT) of Rabeprazole sodium and Aceclofenac were found to be 5.611 min and 2.102 minute, respectively. The linearities of Rabeprazole sodium and Aceclofenac were in the range of 1-10 µg/ml and 3-15 µg/ml, respectively. The limit of detection was found to be 0.091 µg/ml for Rabeprazole sodium and 0.043 µg/ml for Aceclofenac. The proposed method was applied for the determination of Rabeprazole sodium and Aceclofenac in a combined dosage form and result was found satisfactory.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/icpj.v1i12.12450 International Current Pharmaceutical Journal 2012, 1(12): 410-413

A simple, sensitive, precise, specific and stability indicating high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method for the determination of emtricitabine both in bulk drug and pharmaceutical dosage form was developed and validated. The method employed aluminium plates precoated with silica gel G60 F254 as the stationary phase. The solvent system consisted of toluene : ethyl acetate : methanol (2 : 8 : 1, v/v/v). This solvent system was found to give compact spots for emtricitabine with value . Densitometric analysis of emtricitabine was carried out in the absorbance mode at 284 nm. Linear regression analysis showed good linearity with respect to peak area in the concentration range of 30–110 ng spot−1. The method was validated for precision, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), robustness, accuracy and specificity. Emtricitabine was subjected to acid and alkali hydrolysis, oxidation, neutral hydrolysis, photodegradation and dry heat treatment. Also the degraded products peaks were well resolved from the pure drug with significantly different values. Statistical analysis proved that the method is repeatable and specific for the estimation of the said drug. As the method could effectively separate the drugs from their degradation products, it can be employed as a stability indicating method.

Datura metel (Solanaceae) from south Lebanon. The different parts of this plant contain the tropane alkaloids atropine (AT) and scopolamine (SC), which are naturally muscarinic receptor antagonists. A method has been developed for the extraction and HPLC-UV analysis of the AT and SC in different parts of D. metel, namely seeds, capsule, leaf, and stem. This analytical method was validated and gave a good detection response with linearity over a dynamic range of 0.03‑0.17 mg mL−1 and recovery in the range of 93.9–108.76%. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values were 32 and 98 µg.mL-1 for atropine and 31 and 93 µg.mL-1 for scopolamine, allowing a reliable quantitation of the target alkaloids. The solvent system Methanol/acetonitrile was the better choice for extracting tropane alkaloids from different Datura parts. Capsule parts of the plant accumulate the highest amount of scopolamine, while seeds accumulate the higher amount of atropine. Briefly, the order of scopolamine concentrations in Datura metel parts, from Lebanon, was in capsules ˃ seeds ˃ leaves ˃ stems and for atropine, the concentrations were in seeds ˃ capsules ˃ stems ˃ leaves.
