Objective: The objective of the present study is to develop ultraviolet (UV)-spectroscopic method using pure drug and tablet dosage form that consistently produces a drug with a minimal variation that adheres to quality criteria of purity, identity, and potency. Methods: UV-spectrophotometric method has been developed using a solvent composed of methanol:water (30:70) as a diluent to determine the dalfampridine (DFP) content in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form at predetermined λmax of 262 nm. Results: It was proved linear in the range of 02–12 μg/ml and exhibited a good correlation coefficient (r2 = 0.9915) and excellent mean recovery (0.004136347%). This method was successfully applied to the determination of DFP content of marketed tablet Dalstep 10 mg (Sun Pharmaceutical Pvt. Ltd.,) from India; the results were in good agreement with the label claims. Conclusion: The method proved to be simple, accurate, precise, specific, robust, and less time consuming and can be applied for the determination of DFP in bulk and marketed formulation.

A combination of simvastatin and ezetimibe with complementary mechanisms of action is used for treating high levels of cholesterol in the blood. The aim of this study was to develop a rapid and sensitive derivative spectrophotometric method for analysis of these drugs in combined dosage forms. A first order derivative spectrophotometric method was developed for simultaneous determination of simvastatin and ezetimibe using zero-crossing technique. The measurements were carried out at 219 and 265 nm for simvastatin and ezetimibe respectively. The described method was found to be linear (r2>0.999) over the range of 2-40 μg/mL for simvastatin in the presence of 10 μg/mL ezetimibe at 219 nm and in the range of 1-20 μg/mL of ezetimibe in the presence of 20 μg/mL of simvastatin at 265 nm. The within-day and between-day precision values for both drugs were less than 3% (CV). Also, good recoveries were obtained with both synthetic mixtures and commercial tablets. The proposed method was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of simvastatin and ezetimibe in a pharmaceutical dosage form without any interference from excipients.

Famotidine (FAM), Diclofenac (DCF) and Paracetamol (PCM) are used in combination for musculoskeletal disorders. A simple, sensitive, rapid, precise, reproducible and accurate spectrophotometric method for simultaneous determination of FAM, DCF and PCM was developed. The method was based on UV spectrophotometric determination of three drugs using simultaneous equation method. The stock solutions were prepared in methanol AR. Absorbance measurement was carried out at 288.4 nm, 281.2nm and 248.2 nm for FAM, DCF and PCM respectively. Beer Lambert law was obeyed in the concentration range of 1-30μg/mL for FAM, 2-40μg/mL for DCF and 1-20μg/mL for PCM. The results of the analysis were tested and validated for various validation parameters statistically and by recovery studies according to the International Conference on Harmonization Q2B guidelines. The utility of the developed method has been demonstrated by analysis of commercially available tablet dosage form.
