Three simple, sensitive and cost effective Spectrophotometric methods are described for the determination of pitavastatin calcium (PST) in bulk drugs and in pharmaceutical formulations. These methods are based on the oxidation of PST by ferric chloride in presence ofo-phenanthroline (Method A) or 2, 2’ bipyridyl (Method B) or potassium ferricyanide (Method C). The colored complex formed was measured at 510, 530 and 755 nm for method A, B and C respectively against the reagent blank prepared in the same manner. The optimum experimental parameters for the color production are selected. Beer’s law is valid with in a concentration range of 4-20 μg mL-1for method A, 7.5-37.5 μg mL-1for method B and 5 -25 μg mL-1for method C. For more accurate results, ringbom optimum concentration ranges are 5-18 μg mL-1for method A , 8.5-35.5 μg mL-1for method B and 6.0-23.0 μg mL-1for method C. The molar absorptivities are 3.55x104, 2.10x104and 3.10x104L mol-1cm-1. Where as sandell sensitivities are 0.024, 0.041 and 0.028 μg cm-22 for method A, B and C respectively.

Macrolides, one of the most commonly used class of antibiotics, are a group of drugs produced by Streptomyces species. They belong to the polyketide class of natural products. Their activity is due to the presence of a large macrolide lactone ring with deoxy sugar moieties. They are protein synthesis inhibitors and broad-spectrum antibiotics, active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Different analytical techniques have been reported for the determination of macrolides such as chromatographic methods, flow injection methods, spectrofluorometric methods, spectrophotometric methods, and capillary electrophoresis methods. Among these methods, spectrophotometric methods are sensitive and cost effective for the analysis of various antibiotics in pharmaceutical formulations as well as biological samples. This article reviews different spectrophotometric methods for the determination of macrolide antibiotics.

Abstract Background Duloxetine hydrochloride (DUL) is a drug used to treat depression and anxiety. 1-Naphthol is a potential toxic impurity of DUL, as it causes hepatotoxicity in humans, and it is harmful to aquatic life. Objective Three simple, selective, rapid, accurate and precise methods were developed and validated according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision and selectivity for analysis of duloxetine hydrochloride (DUL) in the presence of its potential toxic impurity 1-Naphthol in different laboratory-prepared mixtures and pharmaceutical formulations. Methods Method (A) is the first derivative of the ratio spectra spectrophotometric (1DD) method which allows determination of DUL at 251 nm and 1-Naphthol at 305.2 nm without interference from each other. Method B (dual wavelength) means that two different wavelengths were chosen to each drug, where the absorbance difference at these two wavelengths is equal to zero to the second drug. The chosen two wavelengths for DUL were 221.4 nm and 235.6, where the absorbance difference for 1-naphthol at these two wavelengths was equal to zero. While the chosen wavelengths for 1-naphthol were 247.8 nm and 297 nm, where the absorbance difference for DUL at these two wavelengths was equal to zero. Method (C) is the mean centering of ratio spectra spectrophotometric (MCR) method, which depends on measuring the mean centered values of ratio spectra of both DUL and 1-Naphthol at 226 nm. Results These methods were validated and agreed with the requirements of ICH guidelines with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision and selectivity. Conclusions The results indicate the ability of developed methods to be used for routine quality control analysis of DUL in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations in the presence of its potential impurity 1-Naphthol.

Abstract Accurate, sensitive, and simple spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods were developed for the determination of gliclazide in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids. Both methods are based on a coupling reaction between gliclazide and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole in borate buffer, pH 7.8, in which a yellow reaction product that can be measured spectrophotometrically at 400 nm was developed. The same product exhibited a yellow fluorescence at 470 nm upon excitation at 400 nm. The absorbance–concentration plot was rectilinear over the range of 2–20 μg/mL with minimum detectability [signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio = 2] of 0.2 μg/mL (6.18 × 10−7 M); the fluorescence–concentration plot was rectilinear over the range of 0.2–2.5 μg/mL with minimum detectability (S/N = 2) of 0.02 μg/mL (6.18 × 10−8M). The different experimental parameters affecting the development and stability of the color were carefully studied and optimized. Both methods were successfully applied to the analysis of commercial tablets. The results were in good agreement with those obtained with the official and reference spectrophotometric methods. A proposal of the reaction pathway was presented.

Five simple, accurate, sensitive and economical UV spectrophotometric methods has been developed and subsequently validated for the determination of eletriptan in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations. The methods were based on the formulation of colored complex of eletriptan with different reagents. Absorbance of the formed color complex is measured against the reagent blank at the wavelength of maximum absorbance. In this paper, five spectrophotometric methods were proposed. Method A is based on the formation of oxidative coupling reaction involving the use of iron (III) – MBTH (3-methyl-2-benzo thiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride). The resulting green colored chromogen complex absorbs at λmax = 520 nm. Reaction of eletriptan with ferric chloride and K3 [Fe (CN)6 ] to form a green colored species having absorption maxima at λmax =790 nm is used in Method B. Method C is based on the reaction eletriptan with FeCl3 and 1,10 phenanthroline to form a blood red colored chromogen, exhibiting absorption at λmax = 620 nm. Formation of oxidative coupling of drug with brucine in the presence of sodium meta periodate to form a purple red colored species is used in Method D which exhibits absorption maxima at λmax = 520 nm. Method E is based on the formation of complex with acidic dye WF BBL having absorption maxima at λmax = 610 nm. All these methods have different linearity ranges. Statistical analysis proves that the proposed methods are reproducible and selective for the estimation of eletriptan in bulk drug and in its tablet dosage form.
