Objective: The objective of the present study is to develop ultraviolet (UV)-spectroscopic method using pure drug and tablet dosage form that consistently produces a drug with a minimal variation that adheres to quality criteria of purity, identity, and potency. Methods: UV-spectrophotometric method has been developed using a solvent composed of methanol:water (30:70) as a diluent to determine the dalfampridine (DFP) content in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form at predetermined λmax of 262 nm. Results: It was proved linear in the range of 02–12 μg/ml and exhibited a good correlation coefficient (r2 = 0.9915) and excellent mean recovery (0.004136347%). This method was successfully applied to the determination of DFP content of marketed tablet Dalstep 10 mg (Sun Pharmaceutical Pvt. Ltd.,) from India; the results were in good agreement with the label claims. Conclusion: The method proved to be simple, accurate, precise, specific, robust, and less time consuming and can be applied for the determination of DFP in bulk and marketed formulation.

A combination of simvastatin and ezetimibe with complementary mechanisms of action is used for treating high levels of cholesterol in the blood. The aim of this study was to develop a rapid and sensitive derivative spectrophotometric method for analysis of these drugs in combined dosage forms. A first order derivative spectrophotometric method was developed for simultaneous determination of simvastatin and ezetimibe using zero-crossing technique. The measurements were carried out at 219 and 265 nm for simvastatin and ezetimibe respectively. The described method was found to be linear (r2>0.999) over the range of 2-40 μg/mL for simvastatin in the presence of 10 μg/mL ezetimibe at 219 nm and in the range of 1-20 μg/mL of ezetimibe in the presence of 20 μg/mL of simvastatin at 265 nm. The within-day and between-day precision values for both drugs were less than 3% (CV). Also, good recoveries were obtained with both synthetic mixtures and commercial tablets. The proposed method was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of simvastatin and ezetimibe in a pharmaceutical dosage form without any interference from excipients.
