Background: Due to solubility issues of curcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin, there is a need for the development of a UV-Visible spectrophotometric method that can estimate the drug release precisely and accurately. The addition of surfactant in the dissolution medium in low concentration achieved bio-comparable surface activity and can be used to estimate the drug release from formulations by avoiding sink conditions. Objective: The purpose of the present investigation was to develop a simple and précise UV-Visible spectrophotometric method for the determination of curcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin after oral administration. Method: A UV-Visible spectrophotometric method was developed using an appropriate solvent system for the estimation of curcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin. The solvent system having simulated intestinal fluid and particular concentration of surfactant was selected and further validated according to guidelines of the international conference on harmonization (ICH), the analytical parameter like linearity, precision and accuracy, etc. were studied. Results: Simulated intestinal fluid pH 7.4 with tween 80 at 1 % concentration satisfied all the conditions relative to peak quality at the stated wavelength for curcumin and intestinal fluid pH 7.4 with tween 80 at 0.5% concentration satisfied all the conditions relative to Peak quality at the stated wavelength for tetrahydrocurcumin. The developed methods were found within the range of all the validation parameters. Conclusion: The proposed method was found to be very simple and precise and can be used for routine quantitative analysis of curcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin.

A simple, rapid, accurate, and less expensive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the quantitation of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) levels in canned malt drinks and fruit juice drinks sampled in the Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana. The quantitation is based on the selective maximum absorption of ultraviolet radiation by 5-HMF at the wavelength (λmax) of 284 nm using acetonitrile : water (50 : 50 v/v) as the solvent system. The method was established to be specific, precise, and accurate over a concentration range of 0.001 mg/ml–0.02 mg/ml. 5-HMF levels in fruit juice samples (A1–A10) were between 0.132 mg/ml and 0.438 mg/ml, and these levels were shown to be comparable (t = 2.200;p=0.0553) to the contents in the canned malt samples (M1–M10) which were between 0.3140 mg/ml and 0.7170 mg/ml. The study failed to show any dependence of 5-HMF levels on the composition of the product as well as the manufacturing process adopted. The length of storage did also not significantly affect the 5-HMF levels in the products.

The thorough literature study uncovered that none of the most perceived pharmacopeias or any journals includes a method for simultaneous estimation of Doxycycline and Levofloxacin in combination by UV/Visible spectroscopy. So, it was felt fundamental to build up a system that will serve as a solid, precise UV technique for the simultaneous estimation of Doxycycline and Levofloxacin. DOXH and LVXH showed λmax at 273nm and 287nm respectively, and iso-absorptive point at 280nm in Phosphate buffer pH 6.8 prepared in Water: Methanol (80:20) dissolvable solvent system. Beer Lambert's law obeyed by both drugs within the concentration range of 2-20 μg/ml & r2 values of 0.9999 and 0.9998, which shows the good linearity. The method has been validated statistically and quantitatively regarding linearity, precision, LOD, LOQ, accuracy, and specificity according to the ICH guidelines. LOD for DOXH and LVXH were found to be 1.41 and 0.63 μg/ml, the LOQ was 4.30 and 1.92 μg/ml, respectively. Percent recovery at recovery level of 80%, 100% & 120% for DOXH was found to be 99.7, 99.66 & 99.69 & for LVXH 99.58, 99.66 & 99.63 respectively. Intra-day, Inter-day & precision analysis by different analyst was found to be 0.767, 0.563, 0.440 %RSD for DOXH & 0.507, 0.532, 0.708 % RSD for LVXH. Sandell's sensitivity was discovered to be adequate, and this shows that extremely less measure of the two medications can be successfully recognized by this technique. Finally, it was concluded, the developed & validated method was helpful and appropriate for regular quality analysis and simultaneous determination of drug products containing DOXH and LVXH in combination.
