VALIDATED SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHODS FOR THE ESTIMATION OF CINNARIZINE IN BINARY MIXTURE WITH PARACETAMOL IN BULK AND TABLETS

Objectives: The aim of this work was to develop and validate new, simple, accurate, and selective spectrophotometric methods (derivative and derivative ratio spectrophotometric methods) for the determination of these drugs. These methods can be used as analytical tools in routine examination in quality control laboratories. Methods: The first method was derivative method in which the first derivative method (1D) for determination of PCM and the second derivative method (2D) for determination of CIN. The second method was the first derivative ratio spectrophotometric method (1DD) for determination of CIN and PCM. Results: In first method, the first derivative spectrum (1D) of PCM where PCM was determined by measuring the amplitude of the valley at 235 nm while CIN showed zero crossing spectrum, and the second derivative spectrum (2D) of CIN where CIN was determined by measuring the amplitude of the peak at 287.5 nm while PCM showed a zero value. In the second method, the first derivative ratio spectrophotometry (1DD) for CIN and PCM determination, where the amplitude at 290 and 291 nm, was selected for the determination of CIN and PCM, respectively. Conclusions: The developed methods were applied for the determination of the cited drugs in tablets containing binary drug mixture. The methods are simple and precise and can be used for routine analysis of the labeled drugs in combined dosage forms in quality control laboratories.

Determination of phenylephrine hydrochloride and Amoxicillin in binary mixture using Derivative Spectrophotometry methods

A simple, precise and economical procedure for the simultaneous estimation of Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (PHE) and Amoxicillin (AMX) in formulation has been developed. The absorbance values of first derivative spectrum 228,258 nm andm 241 nm and second derivative spectrum 238, 277 nm and 226 nm was used for the estimation of PHE and AMX, respectively without mutual interference. This method obeyed beerand#39;s law in the concentration range mixing of 2-150mgL -1 PHE with 0,20,100 mgL -1 AMX and 2-240 mgL -1 AMX with 0,20,100 mgL -1 PHE and the second derivative depends on first derivative of the ratios spectra. The proposed methods are extensively validated. All the described methods can be readily utilized for analysis of pharmaceutical formulations.

Spectrophotometric determination of Metronidazole and Metronidazole benzoate via first and Second Derivative order spectroscopy

A New Spectrophotometric Methods are improved for determination Metronidazole (MTZ) and Metronidazolebenzoate (MTZB) depending on1STand 2nd derivative spectrum of the two drugs by using ethanol as a solvent. Many techniques were proportionated with concentration (peak high to base line, peak to peak and peak area). The linearity of the methodsranged between(1-25µg.ml-1) is obtained. The results were precise and accurate throw RSD% were between (0.041-0.751%) and (0.0331-0.452%), Rec% values between (97.78, 101.87%) and (98.033-102.39%) while the LOD between (0.051-0.231 µg.ml-1) and (0.074-1.04 µg.ml-1) and LOQ between (0.170-0.770µg.ml-1) and (0.074-0.313 µg.ml-1) of (MTZ) and of (MTZB) respectively. These Methods were successfully applied to determination of (MTZ) and (MTZB) in the pharmaceutical preparatio; ns
