Photochemical Derivatization and Fluorimetric Determination of Promethazine in a FIA Assembly
1992
Abstract The flow injection fluorimetric determination of promethazine is carried out by on-line photoderivatization. The PTFE tubing is helically coiled around the lamp. An analytical procedure is proposed by using aqueous solution as carrier stream: the calibration graph is linear over the range 0.05 - 20 ppm. The influence of foreign compounds is studied and the method is applied to promethazine determination in pharmaceutical formulations.
HYDRO-ORGANIC AND MICELLAR-ORGANIC REVERSED-PHASE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHIC PROCEDURES FOR THE EVALUATION OF SULPHONAMIDES IN PHARMACEUTICALS
2001
Two reversed-phase liquid chromatographic procedures were developed for the analysis of ten pharmaceutical formulations used in medicine and veterinary, which contained one of the following sulphonamides: sulphacetamide, sulphadiazine, sulphaguanidine, sulphamethazine, sulphamethizole, sulphamethoxazole, or sulphathiazole. In both chromatographic modes, the same C18 column was utilized and the mobile phase contained a low amount of acetonitrile and citric buffer at pH 3.0. In one of the procedures, the surfactant sodium dodecyl sul phate was added to the mobile phase. The presence of micelles allowed a decrease in the amount of organic solvent from 11% to 6%, and facilitated sample dissolut…
Determination of Caffeine in Analgesic Formulations Using the Apparent Content Curves Method
1994
Abstract The determination of caffeine by UV spectroscopy in pharmaceutical samples, containing different compounds which provide spectral interferences as aspirin, paracetamol, chlorfeniramine or propylphenazone, is carried out. The proposed procedure is based on the apparent content curves method in order to resolve binary, ternary and multicomponent mixtures. Results obtained are, in all cases, in agreement with contents found by a HPLC procedure used as reference method.
Indirect determination of paracetamol in pharmaceutical formulations by inhibition of the system luminol–H2O2–Fe(CN)63− chemiluminescence
1999
After a large drug scanning, the system Luminol-H2O2-Fe(CN)6(3-) is proposed for first time for the indirect determination of paracetamol. The method is based on the oxidation of paracetamol by hexacyanoferrate (III) and the subsequent inhibitory effect on the reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide. The procedure resulted in a linear calibration graph over the range 2.5-12.5 microg ml(-1) of paracetamol with a sample throughput of 87 samples h(-1). The influence of foreign compounds was studied and, the method was applied to determination of the drug in three different pharmaceutical formulations.
Focused microwave-assisted Soxhlet extraction: An expeditive approach for the isolation of lipids from sausage products
2003
A prototype of extractor based on the conventional Soxhlet principles but assisted in the cartridge zone by focused microwaves is proposed for accelerating the extraction of lipids from sausage products. The extraction process has been optimised using a multivariate design involving the main variables influencing the performance of the prototype (namely, irradiation power P, irradiation time T and number of cycles C). Under the optimum working conditions (P=160 W, T=10 s and C=14), the extraction of lipids from different Spanish sausage products is complete in 45 min. The extracts thus obtained have been compared with those provided by conventional Soxhlet extraction for 8 h by development …
Continuous flow-injection-atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of Ondansetron
1995
Abstract A flow-injection procedure for the indirect determination of the new drug Ondansetron is proposed. The method is based on the reaction of the drug in an oxidative solid-phase reactor included in the flow assembly. The reactor was made by lead dioxide physically entrapped by polymerization; the released lead(II) was monitored by atomic absorption spectrometry at 217.0 nm. The procedure gave a linear calibration graph up to 20 μg ml−1 of Ondansetron with a sample throughput of 338 samples h−1.
Liquid chromatographic procedure for the evaluation of β-blockers in pharmaceuticals using hybrid micellar mobile phases
1997
Abstract A reversed-phase chromatographic procedure with a micellar eluent is proposed for the determination of several β-blockers (acebutolol, atenolol, carteolol, celiprolol, labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, oxprenolol, propranolol, and timolol) in pharmaceutical formulations (tablets, capsules, and ophthalamic solutions). A study is shown on the chromatographic behaviour of these drugs with mobile phases containing sodium dodecyl sulphate (0.075–0.15 M ) and propanol (0–15%, v/v), at different pH values (3–7). The excellent correlation between log of the octanol-water partition coefficient and log of capacity factor, for the ten drugs in mobile phases of SDS and propanol, suggested that t…
A new derivatization procedure for the determination of cephalexin with 1,2-naphthoquinone 4-sulphonate in pharmaceutical and urine samples using sol…
1998
Abstract The present report shows how to derivatize cephalexin with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonate (NQS) into solid-phase extraction cartridges (C18) using UV–visible detection. Optimum conditions for this new procedure are: hydrogen carbonate/carbonate buffer pH=10.5, 5 min reaction time at 25°C and NQS concentration of 7.1×10−3 mol l−1. The accuracy and the precision of the method were tested. The procedure was used to measure cephalexin in pharmaceutical and urine samples. The results obtained were contrasted with those reported by UV-spectrophotometric and HPLC methods for pharmaceutical samples and with HPLC method for urine samples. The H-point standard additions method was used to m…
Simultaneous determination of acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine in pharmaceuticals by flow injection with fourier transform infrared detection.
1993
Abstract A fast quality control methodology has been developed for the simultaneous determination of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and caffeine in pharmaceuticals by flow injection—Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry. The method is based on the solubilization of ASA and caffeine in CH2Cl2 and the use of a flow system to introduce samples and standards in the spectrometer. Two solutions, containing 90 and 110% of the reported concentration of the two active principles in the sample, were employed in order to control the extreme tolerance levels accepted by the International Pharmacopeia for the composition of formulations. A 300 μl volume of each solution was injected in turn, into a carrie…
Analysis of pharmaceutical preparations containing local anesthetics by micellar liquid chromatography and spectrophotometric detection
1999
An HPLC procedure for the determination of six local anesthetics, bupivacaine, lidocaine, mepivacaine, procaine, propanocaine and tetracaine, in pharmaceutical silane ODS-2 C18 analytical column and spectrophotometric detection at 230 nm were used. The chromatographic tographic behaviour of local anesthetics with different micellar eluents of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) is described. Selection of the adequate composition of the micellar mobile phase (SDS and 1-propanol concentrations) for the analysis of pharmaceuticals was studied. Adequate retention was achieved with an eluent containing 0.15 M SDS +10% 1-propanol at pH 3. Application of the proposed method to the analysis of eight phar…
