Micro extraction techniques represent the current state of the art in analytical sample preparation characterized with solvent-free/solventminimized extraction, miniaturization and automation to treat samples with pharmaceutical, food, forensic, and environmental significance for instrumental analysis. To be consistent with today’s challenges of sustainability and environmental issues, Green An...

Near-infrared spectroscopy as a rapid and non-destructive analytical technique offers great advantages for pharmaceutical raw material identification (RMID) to fulfill the quality and safety requirements in pharmaceutical industry. In this study, we demonstrated the use of portable miniature near-infrared (MicroNIR) spectrometers for NIR-based pharmaceutical RMID and solved two challenges in th...

For a long time, chromatographic techniques and techniques related to them have stimulated the development of new procedures in the field of pharmaceutical analysis. The newly developed methods, characterized by improved metrological parameters, allow for more accurate testing of, among others, the composition of raw materials, intermediates and final products. The chromatographic techniques al...

Biological and pharmaceutical samples represent formidable challenges in sample preparation that hold important consequences for bioanalysis and genotoxic impurity quantification. This Feature will emphasize significant advances toward the development of rapid, sensitive, and selective sample preparation methods.

Most businesses have benefited from utilizing advanced analytics for marketing and other decision making. However, to apply analytical techniques for pharmaceutical marketing is challenging and emerging as it is critical to ensure the analysis makes sense from the medical side. Whether the drug for a specific disease finally consumed is directly and indirectly influenced by many factors includi...

OBJECTIVE To assess pharmaceutical advertisements in prescribing software, their adherence to code standards, and the opinions of general practitioners regarding the advertisements. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Content analysis of advertisements displayed by Medical Director version 2.81 (Health Communication Network, Sydney, NSW) in early 2005; thematic analysis of a debate on this topic...

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant widely used in the treatment of epilepsy. No peculiar chromophore is available on the gabapentin moiety for direct analysis by absorption spectrophotometry. A sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of gabapentin in bulk, pharmaceutical formulations and human plasma has been developed. In this method, gabapentin directly derivatized with vanilli...

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a fast and non-destructive analytical technique that offers many advantages for a broad range of industrial applications. In this work, we reviewed recent developments in the pharmaceutical domain where it can be applied from raw material identification to final product release. The characteristics of NIR allow the technique to be implemented as a process ana...

PURPOSE Thermal behavior of some antidiabetic drugs such as pioglitazone hydrochloride (PTZ), rosiglitazone maleate (RGZ), glibenclamide (GBD) and glimepiride (GMP) has been studied. METHODS Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques were used to study the thermal behavior of the drugs under investigation. RESULTS T...
