A simple, rapid, and specific spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of paracetamol  in pure form and drug formulations. The method depended on the hydrolysis of paracetamol to p-aminophenol, which, oxidized under the effect of dissolved oxygen to benzoquinoneimine. In the alkaline medium, benzoquinoneimine reacts with Methyldopa to produce a high stabile indophenol dye. The absorbance was measured at 580 nm, and the molar absorptivity was found to be 7.75 x 10-5 L/(mol cm). Paracetamol was determined in pharmaceutical products in the 10–100 μg.mL-1 concentration range with a detection limit of 1.5 μg.mL-1 PAP. The developed method can be applied to the determination of both paracetamol and p-aminophenol in the presence of each other without prior separation. The proposed method is successfully employed for the determination of paracetamol in various synthetic mixtures and pharmaceutical preparations. Our obtained results were statistically compared with those given by the similar methods and the procedures evaluated as regards to both figures of merit and ease of applicability.

A sensitive spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of some 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds namely, nicardipine and isradipine either in pure form or in pharmaceutical preparations. The method is based on the reduction of nicardipine and isradipine with zinc powder and calcium chloride followed by further reduction with sodium pentacyanoaminoferrate (II) to give violet and red products having the absorbance maximum at 546 and 539 nm with nicardipine and isradipine, respectively. Beer's law was obeyed over the concentration range 8.0-180 ?g/ml with the detection limit of 1.67 ?g/ml for nicardipine and 8.0-110 ?g/ml with the detection limit of 1.748 ?g/ml for isradipine. The analytical parameters and their effects on the reported methods were investigated. The molar absorptivity, quantization limit, standard deviation of intercept (Sa), standard deviation of slope (Sb) and standard deviation of the residuals (Sy/x) were calculated. The composition of the result compounds were found 1:1 for nicardipine and 1:2 for isradipine by Job's method and the conditional stability constant (Kf) and the free energy changes (?G) were calculated for compounds formed. The proposed method was applied successfully for the determination of nicardipine and isradipine in their dosage forms. The results obtained were in good agreement with those obtained using the reference or official methods. A proposal of the reaction pathway was presented.

A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination ofN-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) andN-(2-mercaptopropionyl)glycine (MPG) in pharmaceutical preparations was developed, validated, and used. The proposed equilibrium method is based on a coupled two-step redox and complexation reaction. In the first step, Fe(III) is reduced to Fe(II) by NAC or MPG. Subsequently, Fe(II) is complexed with 2,4,6-tripyridyl-s-triazine (TPTZ). Several analytical parameters of the method were optimized for NAC and MPG analysis in the concentration range from 1.0 μM to 100.0 μM. Regression analysis of the calibration data showed a good correlation coefficient (0.9999). The detection limit of the method was 0.14 μM for NAC and 0.13 μM for MPG. The method was successfully applied to quantify NAC and MPG in pharmaceutical preparations. No interferences were observed from common pharmaceutical excipients.

The simple, rapid spectrophotometric method for palladium(II) ions determination using a new analytical reagent is described. The interaction of Pd(II) ions with a reagent, of the class of azolidones, 4-(N′-(4-imino-2-oxo-thiazolidine-5-ylidene)-hydrazino)-benzoic acid, in water medium results in the formation of a complex. The Pd(II)-p-ITYBA complex shows maximum absorbance at a wavelength of 450 nm. The molar absorptivity is 4.30 × 103 L·mol−1·cm−1. The optimal pH for complex formation is 7.0. The developed method has a wide linearity range of 0.64–10.64 µg·mL−1 for Pd(II). The detection limit is 0.23 µg·mL−1. It was found that Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Fe(III), Cu(II), Al(III), and many anions do not interfere with the Pd(II) determination. The proposed method was tested in the analysis of model solutions and successfully applied for the determination of palladium in catalyst. The obtained results show that this method can be used for serial determinations of palladium in various objects.

The influence of various tensides on the sensitivity of the reaction of uranyl with chromatographically pure Eriochromazurol B (2'',6''-dichloro-3,3'-dimethyl-4-hydroxyfuchsone-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid) was studied and considerable bathochromic and hyperchromic effects were observed. The reaction is most sensitive in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium or certylpyridinium bromide. Based on the study of the equlibria and optimization of the conditions, a method is suggested for the determination of uranium traces in waters consisting in the measurement of absorbance at 624 nm at pH 5. With the molar absorptivity value of 136 000, the method ranks among the most sensitive spectrophotometric methods of determination of uranium in general. The uranium traces in waters can conveniently be extracted with tri-n-octylamine and reextracted into an aqueous phase. For 10 ml samples, the detection limit is 0.025 ppm uranium. The results obtained are evaluated statistically.

No interference was observed from common excipients in formulations. The results show a simple, accurate, fast and readily applied method to the determination of methyldopa in pharmaceutical products. The analytical results obtained for these products by the proposed method are in agreement with those of the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia procedure at 95% confidence level.

A simple, sensitive and reproducible method for the determination of ranitidine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations was investigated. This spectrophotometric method was based on the formation of a deep red color product with ninhydrin in basic media and the absorbance measured at λmax = 480 nm. The reaction occurs at 45 °C with pH = 10 having a contact time of 38 minutes. Under the optimum conditions, Beer’s Law is obeyed in the concentration range of 8.98×103 - 9.90×104 µg/L. The coefficient of correlation was found to be 0.999 for the obtained method with molar absorptivity of 3.05×103 L/mol.cm. The calculated Sandell’s sensitivity is 0.108 μg/cm2. The limit of detection and limit of quantification are 0.0997 and 0.3023 µg/mL, respectively. The low values of the percentage relative standard deviation and percentage relative error indicate the high precision and the good accuracy of the proposed method. The stoichiometry of the reaction is determined and found to be 1:4 (Ranitidine hydrochloride:Ninhydrin). The initial rate method confirmed that this reaction is first order one.

By reviewing the literature, there is no indication concerning the use of Leishman’s dye in evaluating drug compounds by dye-color bleaching; hence, it is the first attempt to use Leishman’s dye as a novel reagent in the estimation of chloramphenicol (CAP) by an indirect spectrophotometric method in bulk and in its pharmaceutical preparations. The method includes the use of a great amount of N-bromosuccinamide (NBS) in the acidic medium as an oxidizing agent of the drug under investigation (CAP), and then using the residual of NBS for Leishman’s dye color bleaching. The absorbance has been measured at 622 nm (the maximum absorption of Leishman’s dye). A linear relationship was obtained for the Beer’s law with the concentration ranges from 10 to 250 μg/10 mL with acceptable values of molar absorptivity 0.58 × 104 L.mol-1.cm-1 and 0.055 μg.cm-2 of Sandell’s sensitivity index, which mean a high sensitivity. An approved estimation of CAP in its various pharmaceutical formulations was found.
