Background: Sartans are mostly used as a part of combination with additional medicines in the therapy of essencial hypertension. Preferred combinations are ARB and thiazide diuretics (Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) and Chlorthalidone (CHL)) or ARB and calcium antagonists. The number of sartans mostly prescribed by specialists is only seven - Candesartan (CDS), Eprosartan (EPS), Irbesartan (IBS), Losartan (LOS), Olmesartan (OMS), Telmisartan (TMS) and Valsartan (VLS). Methods: The widespread use of sartans in the treatment of hypertension requires reliable methods of analysis. Bulk drugs and pharmaceutical preparations should be analyzed to ensure the quality of the medicinal products reaching patients. On the other hand, the analysis of drugs in biological fluids aims to trace and improve patient care by adjusting the therapeutic doses of drugs. According to our knowledge, a review devoted to the analysis of sartans was published in 2014. Results: Spectral methods are widely used in the analysis of bulk drugs and pharmaceutical dosage forms due to their relatively simple procedures, low reagent and sample consumption, speed, precision and accuracy combined with accessibility and comparatively low cost of common apparatus. Many papers for determination of sartans in bulk drugs and pharmaceutical preparations based on liquid chromatographic techniques were published in the available literature. Among these methods, HPLC takes the leading place but UPLC and HPTLC are also present. Conclusion: The widespread use of sartans in the treatment of hypertension requires reliable methods of analysis. Bulk drugs and pharmaceutical preparations should be analyzed to ensure the quality of the medicinal products reaching patients. On the other hand, the analysis of drugs in biological fluids aims to trace and improve patient care by adjusting the therapeutic doses of drugs. Since 2014, many articles have been published on the sartans analysis and this provoked our interest to summarize the latest applications in the analysis of sartans in pharmaceutical formulations and biological media. Articles published from 2014 to 2018 are covered.

AbstractA simple and highly sensitive spectrofluorometric method was developed for the determination of some 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds namely, nicardipine, nifedipine and isradipine in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids. The method is based on the reduction of nicardipine, nifedipine and isradipine with Zn/HCl and measuring the fluorescence intensity obtained (λem/λex) at 460/364, 450/393 and 446/360 nm, respectively. The factors affecting the development of the fluorophore and its stability were studied and optimized. The effect of some surfactants such as β-cyclodextrin (βCD), carboxymethylcelullose (CMC), sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and triton X-100, on the fluorescence intensity was studied. The fluorescence intensity-concentration plots of nicardipine, nifedipine and isradipine were rectilinear over the ranges 0.4–6.0, 0.2–4.0 and 0.1–9.0 μg ml−1 with detection limits of 0.0028, 0.017 and 0.016 μg ml−1, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to commercial tablets containing the compounds; the percentage recovery agreed well with those obtained using the official methods. The method was further extended to the in vitro determination of the compounds in spiked human plasma and urine samples. A proposal of the reduction reaction pathway was postulated.

Abstract A highly sensitive spectrofluorometric method was developed for the determination of verapamil hydrochloride (VP HCl) in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids. The proposed method is based on investigation of the fluorescence spectral behavior of VP HCl in micellar systems, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). In aqueous solutions of borate buffer of pH 9 and 8.5, VP HCl was well incorporated into SDS and β-CD, respectively, with enhancement of its native fluorescence. The fluorescence was measured at 318 nm after excitation at 231 nm. The fluorescence intensity enhancements were 183 and 107% in SDS and in β-CD, respectively. The fluorescence-concentration plots were rectilinear over the range of 0.020.2 and 0.020.25 μg/mL, with lower detection limits of 5.58 × 103 and 3.62 × 103 μg/mL in SDS and β-CD, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of commercial tablets and the results were in good agreement with those obtained with the official method. The method was further applied to the determination of VP HCl in real and spiked human plasma. The mean % recoveries in the case of spiked human plasma (n 4) was 92.59 3.11 and 88.35 2.55 using SDS and β-CD, respectively, while that in real human plasma (n 3) was 90.17 6.93 and 89.17 6.50 using SDS and β-CD, respectively. The application of the method was extended to the stability studies of VP HCl after exposureto ultraviolet radiation and upon oxidation with hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract The construction and electrochemical response characteristics of polyvinylchloride (PVC) membrane sensors for donepezil HCl (DP) are described. The sensing membranes incorporated ion-association complexes of DP cation and sodium tetraphenyl borate (sensor 1), phosphomolybdic acid (sensor 2), or phosphotungstic acid (sensor 3) as electroactive materials. The sensors displayed a fast, stable, and near-Nernstian response over a relatively wide DP concentration range (1 102 to 1 106 M), with cationic slopes of 53.0, 54.0, and 51.0 mV/ concentration decade over a pH range of 4.0 to 8.0. The sensors showed good discrimination of DP from several inorganic and organic compounds. The direct determination of 2.54000.0 g/mL DP showed average recoveries of 99.0, 99.5, and 98.5, and mean RSDs of 1.6, 1.5, and 1.7 at 100.0 g/mL for sensors 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The proposed sensors have been applied for direct determination of DP in two pharmaceutical preparations. The results obtained for determination of DP in tablets using the proposed sensors compared favorably with those obtained using an HPLC method. The sensors have been used as indicator electrodes for potentiometric titration of DP.

Abstract A derivative UV-spectrophotometric analytical procedure was developed for determination of three 4-quinolone antibacterials: norfloxacin (NFX), ciprofloxacin (CFX), and sparfloxacin (SFX). The method depends on the complexation of Cu(II) with the studied compounds in aqueous medium. A third order, measurement was applied for their quantification. A linear correlation was established between the amplitude of the peak and concentration for all the studied drugs in the range of 15–80, 35–120, and 200–700 ng/mL, with minimum detectability (S/N = 2) of 1.0, 1.3, and 5.1 ng/mL for NFX, CFX, and SFX, respectively. The method was successfully applied for accurate, sensitive, and selective determination of the studied drugs in bulk and tablets formulation with average percentage recoveries of 99.22 ± 0.55 to 100.33 ± 1.60. The results obtained were favorably compared with those of the reference method. The method was also used to determine sparfloxacin in spiked human plasma and urine. The results obtained were satisfactory, accurate, and precise.
