New simple spectrofluorimetric method with enhanced sensitivity has been developed and validated for the determination of the antidepressant paroxetine (PXT) in its dosage forms and plasma. The method was based on nucleophilic substitution reaction of PXT with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole in an alkaline medium (pH 8) to form a highly fluorescent derivative that was measured at 545 nm after excitation at 490 nm. The factors affecting the reaction was carefully studied and optimized. The kinetics of the reaction was investigated, and the reaction mechanism was presented. Under the optimized conditions, linear relationship with good correlation coefficient (0.9993) was found between the fluorescence intensity and PXT concentration in the range of 80-800 ng ml-1. The limits of detection and quantitation for the method were 25 and 77 ng ml-1, respectively. The precision of the method was satisfactory; the values of relative standard deviations did not exceed 3%. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of PXT in its pharmaceutical tablets with good accuracy; the recovery values were 100.2 ± 1.61%. The results obtained by the proposed method were comparable with those obtained by the official method. The proposed method is superior to the previously reported spectrofluorimetric method for determination of PXT in terms of its higher sensitivity and wider linear range. The high sensitivity of the method allowed its successful application to the analysis of PXT in spiked human plasma. The proposed method is practical and valuable for its routine application in quality control and clinical laboratories for analysis of PXT.

Abstract Three simple and sensitive spectrophotometric methods were developed and validated for determination of the hydrochloride salts of fluoxetine, sertraline, and paroxetine in their pharmaceutical dosage forms. These methods were based on the reaction of the N-alkylvinylamine formed from the interaction of the free secondary amino group in the investigated drugs and acetaldehyde with each of 3 haloquinones, i.e., chloranil, bromanil, and 2,3-dichloronaphthoquinone, to give colored vinylamino-substituted quinones. The colored products obtained with chloranil, bromanil, and 2,3-dichloronaphthoquinone exhibit absorption maxima at 665, 655, and 580 nm, respectively. The factors affecting the reactions were studied and optimized. Under the optimum reaction conditions, linear relationships with good correlation coefficients (0.9986–0.9999) were found between the absorbances and the concentrations of the investigated drugs in the range of 4–120 μg/mL. The limits of detection for the assays ranged from 1.19 to 2.98 μg/mL. The precision values of the methods were satisfactory; the relative standard deviations were 0.56–1.24%. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the determination of the 3 drugs in pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms with good accuracy; the recoveries ranged from 99.1 to 101.3% with standard deviations of 1.15–1.92%. The results compared favorably with those of reported methods.

A Ru(bpy)3 2+-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE) was developed for the determination of atropine sulfate on the basis of an Eu-PB modified platinum electrode as the working electrode. The analyte was injected to separation capillary of 50 cm length (25 μm i.d., 360 μm o.d.) by electrokinetic injection for 10 s at 10 kV. Parameters related to the separation and detection were discussed and optimized. It was proved that 10 mM phosphate buffer at pH 8.0 could achieve the most favorable resolution, and the high sensitivity of detection was obtained by using the detection potential at 1.15 V and 5 mM Ru(bpy)3 2+in 80 mM phosphate buffer at pH 8.0 in the detection reservoir. Under the optimized conditions, the ECL peak area was in proportion to atropine sulfate concentration in the range from 0.08 to 20 μg⋅mL−1with a detection limit of 50 ng⋅mL−1(3σ). The relative standard derivations of migration time and peak area were 0.81 and 3.19%, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied to determine the levels of atropine sulfate in urine samples of patients with recoveries between 90.9 and 98.6%.

Abstract A method has been investigated for the determination of bismuth in pharmaceutical dosage forms by conventional dc polarography. The method is applicable to tablets, emulsions, suspensions, injectables, and bulk powders. A collaborative study has shown the method to be superior in accuracy and precision to the present official colorimetric method, 36.300- 36.304. The results from 16 determinations performed by 8 collaborators were: 100.0±1.5% recovery on a synthetic powder mix, a relative standard deviation of 1.9% on a commercial tablet sample, and a relative standard deviation of 2.1% on a magma sample. By comparison, the collaborative data reported for the present official method gave relative standard deviations of 3.4 and 3.2% on 2 samples of powder mixtures. It is recommended that the polarographic method be adopted as official first action.

The sorption of Hg (II), Cd (II), and As (III) by natural aluminosilicate is studied. It is shown that the mineral absorbs those toxicants in a rather wide pH range, quantitative extraction of analytes being achieved in a neutral or close to neutral medium (pH values range within 7.0 - 8.0; 6.3 - 7.5; 7.4 - 8.5 for Hg (II), As (III), and Cd (II), respectively). The effect of the time of phase contact on the degree of extraction of elements is shown. The sorption capacity of the mineral in optimal conditions of the medium acidity (0.06 mmol/g for mercury, 0.31 mmol/g for cadmium, and 0.52 mmol/g for arsenic) is determined. The distribution coefficients attain values of aboutnX 103-nX 104. A new combined method for determination of Hg (II), Cd (II), and As (III) in natural and waste water is developed and tested. The method consists in a preliminary group sorption concentration of the analytes by aluminosilicate, desorption of the analytes from the surface of the mineral and their subsequent atomic absorption determination. The correctness of the method is verified in analysis of spiked samples. The method is easy to use and exhibits high sensitivity, reproducibility and accuracy of analyte determination. The relative standard deviation does not exceed 0.13. Economic availability and possibility of using domestic sorption materials are the important advantages of the proposed procedure which can be used in the practice of laboratories monitoring the quality and safety of environmental objects.

Background: Axitinib (AXT) is a member of the new generation of the kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Its therapeutic benefits depend on assuring the good-quality of its dosage forms in terms of content and stability of the pharmaceutically active ingredient. Objective: This study was devoted to the development of a simple, sensitive and accurate stabilityindicating high-performance liquid chromatographic method with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) for the determination of AXT in its bulk and dosage forms. Methods: Waters HPLC system was used. The chromatographic separation of AXT, internal standard (olaparib), and degradation products were performed on the Nucleosil CN column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase consisted of water:acetonitrile:methanol (40:40:20, v/v/v) with a flow rate of 1 ml/min, and the UV detector was set at 225 nm. AXT was subjected to different accelerated stress conditions and the degradation products, when any, were completely resolved from the intact AXT. Results: The method was linear (r = 0.9998) in the concentration range of 5-50 μg/ml. The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.85 and 2.57 μg/ml, respectively. The accuracy of the method, measured as recovery, was in the range of 98.0-103.6% with relative standard deviations in the range of 0.06-3.43%. The results of stability testing revealed that AXT was mostly stable in neutral and oxidative conditions; however, it was unstable in alkaline and acidic conditions. The kinetics of degradation were studied, and the kinetic rate constants were determined. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of AXT in bulk drug and dosage forms. Conclusions: A stability-indicating HPLC-UV method was developed and validated for assessing AXT stability in its bulk and dosage forms. The method met the regulatory requirements of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The results demonstrated that the method would have great value when applied in quality control and stability studies for AXT.

: A spectrophotometry was investigated for the determination of epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) with p-nitrophenol (PNP). The method was based on a charge transfer (CT) complexation of this drug as n-electron donor with π-acceptor PNP. Experiment indicated that the CT complexation was carried out at room temperature for 10 minutes in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. The spectrum obtained for EACA/PNP system showed the maximum absorption band at wavelength of 425 nm. The stoichiometry of the CT complex was found to be 1:1 ratio by Job’s method between the donor and the acceptor. Different variables affecting the complexation were carefully studied and optimized. At the optimum reaction conditions, Beer’s law was obeyed in a concentration limit of 1~6 µg mL-1. The relative standard deviation was less than 2.9%. The apparent molar absoptivity was determined to be 1.86×104 L mol-1cm-1 at 425 nm. The CT complexation was also confirmed by both FTIR and 1H NMR measurements. The thermodynamic properties and reaction mechanism of the CT complexation have been discussed. The developed method could be applied successfully for the determination of the studied compound in its pharmaceutical dosage forms with a good precision and accuracy compared to official method as revealed by t- and F-tests.

AbstractIn this study, an extremely effective electromembrane extraction (EME) method was developed for the selective extraction of Cu(II) followed by Red-Green-Blue (RGB) detection. The effective parameters optimized for the extraction efficiency of EME include applied voltage, extraction time, supported liquid membrane (SLM) composition, pH of acceptor/donor phases, and stirring rate. Under optimized conditions, Cu(II) was extracted from a 3 mL aqueous donor phase to 8 µL of 100 mM HCl acceptor solution through 1-octanol SLM using an applied voltage of 50 V for 15 min. The proposed method provides a working range of 0.1–0.75 µg·mL−1 with 0.03 µg·mL−1 limit for detection. Finally, the developed technique was applied to different environmental water samples for monitoring environmental pollution. Obtained relative recoveries were within the range of 93–106%. The relative standard deviation (RSD) and enhancement factor (EF) were found to be ≤4.8% and 100 respectively. We hope that this method can be introduced for quantitative determination of Cu(II) as a fast, simple, portable, inexpensive, effective, and precise procedure.

Simple, accurate and reproducible UV-spectrophotometric method was developed and validated for the estimation of phenylephrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical nasal drops formulations. Phenylephrine hydrochloride was estimated at 291 nm in 1 mol⋅dm-3 sodium hydroxide (pH 13.5). Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 10–100 μg⋅cm−3 (r2 = 0.9990) in the sodium hydroxide medium. The apparent molar absorptivity was found to be 1.63×103 dm3⋅mol−1⋅cm−1. The method was tested and validated for various parameters according to the ICH (International Conference on Harmonization) guidelines. The detection and quantitation limits were found to be 0.892 and 2.969 μg⋅cm−3, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of phenylephrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical nasal drops formulations. The results demonstrated that the procedure is accurate, precise and reproducible (relative standard deviation < 1 %), while being simple, cheap and less time consuming, and hence can be suitably applied for the estimation of phenylephrine hydrochloride in different dosage forms.
