Oxcarbazepine (OXC) is an important anticonvulsant and mood stabilizing drug. A pharmacopoeial monograph for OXC is not yet available and therefore the development and validation of a new analytical method for quantification of this drug is essential. In the present study, a UV spectrophotometric method for the determination of OXC was developed. The various parameters, such as linearity, precision, accuracy and specificity, were studied according to International Conference on Harmonization Guidelines. Batches of 150 mg OXC capsules were prepared and analyzed using the validated UV method. The formulations were also evaluated for parameters including drug-excipient compatibility, flowability, uniformity of weight, disintegration time, assay, uniformity of content and the amount of drug dissolved during the first hour.

The present study was undertaken to develop and validate a simple, sensitive, accurate, precise and reproducible UV spectrophotometric method for cefuroxime axetil using methanol as solvent. In this method the simple UV spectrum of cefuroxime axetil in methanol was obtained which exhibits absorption maxima (?max) at 278 nm. The quantitative determination of the drug was carried out at 278 nm and Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of (0.80-3.60) µg/ml. The proposed method was applied to pharmaceutical formulation and percent amount of drug estimated (95.6% and 96%) was found in good agreement with the label claim. The developed method was successfully validated with respect to linearity, specificity, accuracy and precision. The method was shown linear in the mentioned concentrations having line equation y = 0.05x + 0.048 with correlation coefficient of 0.995. The recovery values for cefuroxime axetil ranged from 99.85-100.05. The relative standard deviation of six replicates of assay was less than 2%. The percent relative standard deviations of inter-day precision ranged between 1.45-1.92% and intra-day precision of cefuroxime axetil was 0.96-1.51%. Hence, proposed method was precise, accurate and cost effective.  Keywords: UV-Vis spectrophotometer; Method validation; Cefuroxime axetil; Recovery studies.  © 2013 JSR Publications.

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.

Objective: The aim of the present work was to develop a simple, rapid, accurate and economical UV-visible spectrophotometric method for the determination of hydroquinone (HQ) in its pure form, marketed formulation as well as in the prepared nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) systems and to validate the developed method.Methods: HQ was estimated at UV maxima of 289.6 nm in pH 5.5 phosphate buffer using UV-Visible double beam spectrophotometer. Following the guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), the method was validated for various analytical parameters like linearity, precision, and accuracy robustness, ruggedness, limit of detection, quantification limit, and formulation analysis.Results: The obtained results of the analysis were validated statistically. Recovery studies were performed to confirm the accuracy of the proposed method. In the developed method, linearity over the concentration range of 5-40 μg/ml of HQ was observed with the correlation coefficient of 0.998 and found in good agreement with Beer Lambert’s law. The precision (intra-day and inter-day) of the method was found within official RCD limits (RSD<2%).Conclusion: The sensitivity of the method was assessed by determining the limit of detection and limit of quantification. It could be concluded from the results obtained that the purposed method for estimation of HQ in pure form, in the marketed ointment and in the prepared NLC-formulation was simple, rapid, accurate, precise and economical. It can be used successfully in the quality control of pharmaceutical formulations and for the routine laboratory analysis.
