In this study, determination of terbinafine and itraconazole down to biological concentration level has been carried out. The determination is based on increasing the selectivity of the spectrofluorimetric technique by combining both derivative and synchronous spectrofluorometric approaches, which permits successful estimation of terbinafine at 257 nm and itraconazole at 319 nm in the presence of each other at Δ λ of 60 nm. International Conference on Harmonization validation guidelines were followed to fully validate the method, and linearity was obtained for the two drugs over the range of 0.1–0.7 µg ml −1 for terbinafine and 0.5–4.0 µg ml −1 for itraconazole. Application of the method was successfully carried out in the commercial tablets with good agreement with the comparison spectrofluorometric methods. As the detection limits were down to 0.013 and 0.1 µg ml −1 and quantitation limits were 0.04 and 0.032 µg ml −1 for terbinafine and itraconazole, respectively; the in vitro determination of terbinafine and itraconazole in spiked plasma samples was applicable. The percentage recoveries in biological samples were 97.17 ± 4.54 and 98.75 ± 2.25 for terbinafine and itraconazole, respectively. Water was used as the optimum diluting solvent in the proposed methodology which adds an eco-friendly merit.

Abstract A highly sensitive and specific method is proposed for the determination of vigabatrin (I) and gabapentin (II) in their dosage forms and spiked human plasma. The method is based on coupling the drugs with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole in borate buffer at pH 7.1 and measuring the resulting fluorescence at 532 nm after excitation at 465 nm. The fluorescence intensity was a linear function of the concentration of the drugs over the ranges of 1.3–6.5 and 1.7–8.5 μg/mL for I and II, respectively. Minimum detectability values were 0.54 μg/mL (4.2 × 10−6M) and 0.97 μg/mL (5.7 × 10−6M) for I and II, respectively, under the described conditions. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of the 2 drugs in their dosage forms, and the percent recoveries ± standard deviation (SD) were 104.53 ± 1.2 and 100.00 ± 1.32 of the label claim for I and II, respectively. The method was further applied to the determination of vigabatrin in spiked plasma samples. The percent recovery ± SD was 101.58 ± 2.68. Interference from endogenous α-amino acids was overcome through selective complexation with freshly prepared Cu(OH)2. The interference likely to be encountered from co-administered drugs, such as carbamazepine, cimetidine, clonazepam, clopazam, phenobarbital, valproic acid, and lamotrigine, was also studied. A reaction pathway is suggested.

A method is presented for the determination in plasma of small (50–150 mg./100 ml.) amounts of dextran. The procedure, which requires between 3 and 4 hours, consists of protein precipitation, glucose removal by dialysis, and the determination of the carbohydrate concentration of the resulting aqueous extract by a modified anthrone technique. Results of in vitro tests show that average dextran recovery is essentially 100% and that standard deviations in recovery range from 1.7 to 2.5% depending upon the dextran concentration. Deviations are reduced to a range of 1.4–1.7% by the use of duplicate plasma samples.

Abstract A spectrofluorimetric method is described for the determination of drugs containing active methylene groups adjacent to carbonyl groups. The method was applied successfully to the determination of warfarin sodium in laboratory-prepared mixtures, in commercial tablets, and in spiked human plasma samples. Finally, the method was applied to the determination of the steady-state concentration of warfarin sodium in the blood of a hospitalized patient. The method involves the reaction of warfarin sodium with 0.2 ml (0.4 × 10−3M) N1-methylnicotinamide chloride reagent in the presence of 3 mL 1.0N NaOH and cooling in ice for 8 min, followed by adjustment of the pH to 2.0, using formic acid and heating for 4 min, whereby a highly fluorescent reaction product is produced. The optimal wavelengths of excitation and emission were determined by using a synchronous wavelength search and found to be 284 and 354 nm, respectively. The standard curves were linear over a concentration range of 50–1500 ng/mL in both aqueous solutions and spiked human plasma samples. The mean recoveries (± standard deviation) were 101.157 (±1.33) and 95.73 (±1.88%) for aqueous solutions and spiked human plasma samples, respectively. The method showed good specificity and precision. The proposed method is simple and economical because of its minimal instrumentation and chemicals requirements. Nevertheless, it is highly sensitive, specific, and reproducible. Accordingly, it is suitable for quality-control applications, drug monitoring, and bioavailability and bioequivalency studies.
