Buprenorphine is a partial mu agonist and kappa antagonist which is used for the treatment of pain and opioid addiction. A mixture of buprenorphine hydrochloride and naloxone hydrochloride has been approved for the treatment of opioid dependence.In this study a third order derivative spectrophotometric method based on zero-crossing technique has been used for the simultaneous determination of b...

The objective of this study was to develop simple, precise, accurate and sensitive UV spectrophotometric methods for the simultaneous determination of ofloxacin (OFX) and flavoxate HCl (FLX) in pharmaceutical formulations. The first method is based on absorption ratio method, by formation of Q absorbance equation at 289 nm (λmax of OFX) and 322.4 nm (isoabsorptive point). The linearity range wa...

A first-order derivative spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of three textile dyes, Procion Yellow HE4R, Procion Red HE7B and Remazol Black 5 (RB5), has been developed. The effects of pH, heating and ionic strength of the solution on the absorption spectra of the dyes were investigated. The wavelengths selected for the measures of the derivative signals of HE4R (395 nm)...

First (DI) and second (D2) order derivative spectrophotometric method with an application of base line to peak technique was used for determination of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) at two wavelengths: fluphenazine (D1 at lambda = 251 nm and lambda = 265 nm, D2 at lambda = 246 nm and lambda = 269 nm), pernazine (D1 at lambda = 246 nm and lambda = 258 nm, D2 at lambda = 254 nm and lambd...

Saccharin, a synthetic sweetener constituent of several pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations, is analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively in the presence of interferences like active ingredients and excipients. A derivative ultraviolet spectrophotometric method employing the second and the fourth orders was used. The calibration data obtained were satisfactory, with a relative precision ra...

A simple, selective and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the individual and simultaneous determination of Ti(IV) and Mo(VI) using salicylaldehyde p-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone (SAPHBH) in presence of Triton X100, without any prior separation. Beer’s law is obeyed between 0.15-2.0 and 0.20-2.51 μgmL concentration of Ti(IV) and Mo(VI) at 470 and 410 nm, respectively. The mol...

A first-derivative spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of piroxicam (PX) and its major metabolite 5'-hydroxypiroxicam (OH PX) in human plasma is described. The method consists of direct extraction of the two drugs from the plasma samples with hydrochloric and trichloroacetic acid prior to their determination by measuring the first-derivative signals at 337.0 nm for PX a...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The new combination of moxifloxacin HCl and cefixime trihydrate is approved for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infections in adults. At initial formulation development and screening stage a fast and reliable method for the dissolution and release testing of moxifloxacin and cefixime were highly desirable. The zero order overlaid UV spectra of moxifloxacin and ...

A simple spectrophotometric method is described for resolving binary mixtures of some food dyes: Amaranth, Brilliant Blue, Sunset Yellow and Tartrazine, using the first-derivative spectra with measurements at zero-crossing wavelengths. Analytical curves are linear up to 20 mg L(-1). Standard deviations of 1.30, 2.22, 1.93 and 0.81% were obtained for synthetic binary mixtures of 2 mg L(-1) of Am...

A new simple and sensitive ratio-spectra first derivative spectrophotometric method was developed for the simultaneous determination of tapentadol hydrochloride (TPH) and paracetamol (PCM) in binary mixtures. The method depends on the use of the first derivative of the ratio-spectra obtained by dividing the absorption spectrum of binary mixture by a standard spectrum of one of the compounds. TP...
