Apert syndrome (AS) a type of acrocephalosyndactyly is a rare congenital disorder with autosomal dominant mode of transmission that consists of craniofacial synostosis, midfacial hypoplasia and bilateral limb syndactyly. Patients present in early childhood for multiple surgeries which make it imperative to know about various anaesthetic implications like difficult airway ventilation, airway hyper reactivity, associated congenital anomalies, increased airway secretions and deranged temperature thermoregulation associated with this syndrome. The patient should be thoroughly evaluated preoperatively and managed accordingly. We discuss the successful management of a three and a half years old male child two simple, rapid and selective colorimetric methods were developed for the determination of zolmitriptan (ZMT) in pure form and pharmaceutical preparations. These methods are based on the directly formation of charge-transfer complexes between ZMT and m-nitrophenol (MNP) in aqueous medium (ZMT: MNP, 1:1) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) in ethanol:water (80:20). The developed method involves formation of coloured complexes (1:1) of ZMT with MNP and DNP. The yellow formed complexes were quantitatively measured at 400 and 440 nm for ZMT-MNP and ZMT-DNP, respectively. Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration ranges of 3.0–260 μg/mL for MNP and 3.5–120 μg/mL for DNP. Limit of detection and limit of quantitation for MNP were calculated as 0.58 and 1.75 μg/mL, respectively, and for DNP were 0.32 and 0.97 μg/mL, respectively. The method was validated with respect to accuracy, robustness and selectivity. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the determination of ZMT in tablets.

A simple RP-HPLC-PDA method for determination of atenolol (ATN) and trimetazidine (TMZ) in human urine and tablets has been developed. Analytes were separated on a Caltrex BI column (125× 4.0 mm, 5 μm) with 25mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate pH 3.3, methanol, and acetonitrile mobile phases. The PDA detector was operated at 210 nm for TMZ and 225 nm for ATN and the flow rate was 1.0 mL/ min. Linearity was obtained over a concentration range of (1.0-100 μg/mL) for both analytes in standard solutions and the method was successfully applied for determination of target analytes in their pharmaceutical tablets. Excellent linearity was also obtained over concentration ranges of (0.25-25 μg/mL) and (0.5-25 μg/mL) in human urine for TMZ and ATN, respectively. A simple liquid-liquid extraction was applied for urine sample clean-up and a gradient method was used for chromatographic separation. The lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0.99 and 0.60 μg/mL for ATN and TMZ, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.30 and 0.18 μg/mL for ATN and TMZ, respectively. Inter- and intraday precision and accuracy for ATN were within ±1.89% in pure form and within ±2.85% in urine samples. Inter- and intraday precision and accuracy for TMZ were within ± 3.99% in pure form and within ± 3.19% in urine samples.

Abstract A rapid, simple and economical spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of diclofenac potassium in pure form, in pharmaceutical preparations and in human plasma has been developed. The method is based on the enhancement of the fluorescence signal of diclofenac potassium by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulphate in McIvaine buffer with a pH of 5. Different experimental conditions such as buffer type, pH, type and concentration of surfactants were investigated. The fluorescence intensity of the solution was recorded at 361 nm after excitation at 243 nm. The method shows linearity in the concentration range of 0.2 μg mL–1–10 μg mL–1 with a good correlation coefficient of 0.997. The relative standard deviation value was 3.62 (n = 7). The limit of detection and limit of quantification were calculated to be 2.84 × 10–3 μg mL–1 and 9.47 × 10–3 μg mL-1, respectively. The effect of excipients and co-administrated drugs was investigated and no interference was observed. The method was successfully applied for the determination of diclofenac potassium in pure form, in pharmaceutical products and in human plasma. The percentage recoveries obtained ranged from 100.25% to 102.16% for pure form and 97.50% to 102.00% for pharmaceutical products and from 98.50% to 101.67% for human plasma.

The aim of study was to develop and validate two simple, sensitive, and extraction-free spectrophotometric methods for the estimation of risperidone in both pure and pharmaceutical preparations. They are based on the charge transfer complexation reactions between risperidone (RSP) as n-electron donor and p-chloranilic acid (p-CA) in method A and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) in method B as π-acceptors. In method A, RSP reacts with p-CA in methanol to produce a bright pink-colored chromogen measured at 530 nm whereas, in method B, RSP reacts with DDQ in dichloromethane to form orange-colored complex with a maximum absorption at 460 nm. Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration range of 0–25 and 0–50 μg/mL with molar absorptivity of and L/moL/cm for RSP in methods A and B, respectively. The effects of variables such as reagents, time, and stability of the charge transfer complexes were investigated to optimize the procedures. The proposed methods have been successfully applied to the determination of RSP in pharmaceutical formulations. Results indicate that the methods are accurate, precise, and reproducible (relative standard deviation %).

This study presents three simple, rapid, and accurate spectrophotometric methods for the determination of Rasagiline (RSG) in pharmaceutical preparations. The determination procedures depend on the reaction of RSG with chloranilic acid for method A, tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone for method B, and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane for method C. The colored products were quantitated spectrophotometrically at 524, 535, and 843 nm for methods A, B, and C, respectively. Different variables affecting the reaction were optimized. Linearity ranges of the methods with good correlation coefficients (0.9988–0.9996) were observed as 25–300 µg mL−1, 25–350 µg mL−1, and 50–500 µg mL−1for methods A, B, and C, respectively. The formation of products takes place through different mechanisms. The sites of interaction were confirmed by elemental analysis using IR and1H-NMR spectroscopy. The validation of the methods was carried out in terms of specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation. No interference was observed from concomitants usually present in dosage forms. The methods were applied successfully to the determination of RSG in pharmaceutical preparations.

In this study a simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of an antihistaminic drug chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) in pure form, pharmaceutical preparations, spiked humane urine and spiked blood serum. This method was based on the formation of ion-pairs between the basic nitrogen of the CPM drug and four chromogenic reagents namely bromocresol purple (BCP), alizarine Red S (ARS), eriochrome cyanine R (ECR), and cresol red (CR). The extracted colored ion-pairs were measured spectrophotometrically at 390, 425, 503 and 408 nm for BCP, ARS, ECR and CR reagents, respectively. The different parameters that affect the color development between CPM drug and dyestuff reagents were extensively studied to determine the optimal conditions for the assay procedure. The reaction was studied as a function of the volume of reagents, nature of solvent, temperature, reaction time and stoichiometric ratio between the CPM drug and the reagents. Beer’s law was valid over the concentration ranges of 1-30, 1-10, 2-120 and 4-120 μg mL-1 of CPM drug using BCP, ARS, ECR and CR reagents, respectively. The Sandell sensitivity, molar absorptivity, limit of detection and limit of quantification were determined. Applications of the proposed procedure to the analysis of the pharmaceutical preparations, spiked humane urine and spiked blood serum gave reproducible and accurate results without any interference from excipients. The results obtained by the proposed method were in good agreement with those obtained by reported method. The method can be suggested for the routine analysis of the cited drug.
