Abstract
Stability-indicating methods are awesome tools to ensure the safety and efficacy of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). An accurate comparative study involving the use of potentiometric sensors for the determination of bromazepam (BRZ) in the presence of its main product of degradation and impurity was performed by the fabrication of two membrane electrodes. A screen-printed electrode (SPE) and a solid-contact glassy carbon electrode (SCE) were fabricated and their performance optimized. The fabricated sensors showed a linear electrochemical response in the concentration range 1.0 × 10−6 M to 1.0 × 10−2 M. The electrodes exhibited Nernstian slopes of 59.70 mV/decade and 58.10 mV/decade for the BRZ-SPE and BRZ-SCE membrane electrodes, respectively. The electrochemical performance was greatly affected by the medium pH. They showed an almost ideal electrochemical performance between pH 3.0 and pH 6.0. The fabricated membranes were applied successfully for the quantification of BRZ in the presence of up to 90% of its degradation product. Moreover, a successful application of the fabricated electrodes was performed for the sensitive and selective quantification of BRZ in its tablet form without any pretreatment procedure.

Abstract
Four simple, sensitive and selective stability indicating spectrophotometric methods are presented for quantitative determination of the benzodiazepine drug; bromazepam (BMZ) and one of its reported potential impurities and degradation product; 2-(2-amino-5-bromobenzoyl) pyridine (ABP) in methanol. Method A, is isoabsorptive point coupled with D0 method, where good linearity was obtained by measuring the absorbance of BMZ at 264 nm (Aiso) in the concentration range of 2-25 μg mL-1, and the absorbance of ABP at its λmax 396 nm in concentration range of 0.5-24 μg mL-1. Method B, is ratio subtraction; the absorbance was measured at 233 nm for BMZ using 20 μg mL-1 of ABP, while ABP was determined directly at its λmax 396 nm using methanol as a solvent. Method C, was based on measuring the total peak amplitude of the first derivative of the ratio spectra (DD1) of BMZ from 301 to 326 nm using 10 μg mL-1 of ABP as a divisor and determination of ABP at peak amplitude of 293 nm using 5 μg mL-1 of BMZ as a divisor. In method D, ratio difference method, good linearity was achieved for determination of BMZ and ABP by measuring the differences between the amplitudes of ratio spectra at 312 nm and 274 nm and differences between the amplitudes of ratio spectra at 274 nm and 312 nm, respectively. The stability of BMZ was investigated under different ICH recommended forced degradation conditions. The suggested methods were then successfully applied for determination of BMZ in its pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract
Abstract
Utilizing the batch Diazotization coupling reaction and the cloud point extraction kinetic spectrophotometric method, trace and Ultra trace amounts from reducing Nitrazepam and Clonazepam were evaluated by way of using 2,5-dimethoxyaniline as a new Chromogenic reagent to give colored products (red) in acidic medium which have a maximum absorption at 500 and 502 nm, respectively. In the work, the analytical data of batch and cloud point for Nitrazepam and Clonazepam depended on initial rate and fixation time. This involved concentrations of (0,3-9), (0.05-1.2), (0.5-10) and (0.025-1) µg mL−1, as well as molar absorptivity of (3.8×104), (3.1×105) (3.39×104) and (3.47×105) L mol−1 cm−1. According to our results, Sandall’s sensitivity were (0.0074), (0.0009), (0.0092) and (0.0009) µg cm−2, while detection limits were (0.055) and (0.069) µg mL−1, (8.4) and (8.5) ng mL−1. In addition, the measurements enrichment factors were (33.33) and (50), while preconcentration factors were (8) and (9.9), respectively. The reaction of Nitrazepam and Clonazepam with 2,5-dimethoxyaniline were a pseudo first order according to kinetic studies. The proposed methods are not affected by existence of excipients so the methods can be applied successfully for determination of Nitrazepam and Clonazepam in pharmaceutical preparations.

Abstract
A simple, rapid, and selective quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic method was evaluated for the determination of the content of fluorinated pharmaceuticals. 19F NMR spectra were either obtained in dimethylsulfoxide-d6 or aqueous buffer, using trifluoroacetic acid as internal standard. Quantification of 13 fluorine-containing pharmaceuticals spanning various pharmacological classes was accomplished using the proposed method. The method was found to be fit for purpose (interday precision 1.2% relative standard deviation) and may thus be applied for routine analysis and quality control of fluorine-containing pharmaceuticals due to its simplicity, nondestructive sample measurement, reliability, and high specificity. Therefore, 19F NMR may serve as a suitable analytical tool for the identification and selective determination of fluorinated pharmaceuticals used as reference materials and bulk samples.

Abstract
Benzodiazepines (BDZs) belong to a group of substances known for their sedative, antidepressive, muscle relaxant, tranquilizer, hypnotic and anticonvulsant properties. Their determination in biological fluids is essential in clinical assays as well as in forensics and toxicological studies. Researchers focus on the development of rapid, accurate, precise and sensitive methods for the determination of BDZs and their metabolites. A large number of analytical methods using different techniques have been reported, but none can be considered as the method of choice. BDZs are usually present at trace levels (microgram or nanogram per milliliter) in a complex biological matrix and the potentially interfering compounds must be isolated by various extraction techniques before analysis. An extended and comprehensive review is presented herein, focusing on sample preparation (pretreatment and extraction) and HPLC conditions applied by different authors. These methods enable bioanalysts to achieve detection limits down to 1-2 ng/ml using UV/diode array detection, readily available in most laboratories, and better than 1 ng/ml using electron capture detection, which is lower than that obtained using a nitrogen phosphorus detector. MS interfaced with electrospray ionization offered a similar sensitivity, while negative chemical ionization MS or sonic spray ionization MS provided sensitivity down to 0.1 ng/ml.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive HPLC method was developed and validated for the determination of four frequently prescribed 1,4-benzodiazepines: alprazolam (ALP), bromazepam (BRZ), diazepam (DZP), and flunitrazepam (FNZ). Separation was achieved on an Inertsil C8 analytical (250 mm x 4 mm, 5 microm) column, after selective extraction of benzodiazepine drugs from biological matrices by means of SPE. Isocratic elution was performed with a mobile phase consisting of CH3COONH4, 0.05 M CH3OH, and CH3CN (33:57:10 by volume). Quantification was performed at 240 nm with mefenamic acid (6 ng/microL) as the internal standard. DSC-18 Supelco cartridges provided high absolute recoveries (81-115%). The developed method was fully validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, stability, and sensitivity. Repeatability (n = 8) and between-day precision (n = 8) revealed RSD <12%. Recoveries from biological samples ranged from 81.2 to 115%. The detection limit of the method was calculated as 3.3-10.2 ng in blood plasma and 2.6-12.6 ng in urine for 20 microL injection volume. The method was applied to spiked biological matrices. Moreover, the method was applied to real samples of urine after an oral administration.

Abstract
The control of degradation products is currently a critical issue to the pharmaceutical industry. A degradation product that appeared in alprazolam tablets during their stability assay, 7-chloro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinolin-4-amine, also named triazolaminoquinoline, was tested as possible candidate in the HPLC method employed for the study. The impurity showed the same retention time and spectra as the degradation product; but as all these compounds are very closely related, a confirmation with an independent technique was necessary, and CE was chosen for that purpose. Problems related to the adsorption of the analytes to the negatively charged silica surface were solved by employing a new polymeric capillary coating consisting of poly(3-aminopropylmethylsiloxane). The polymer provided EOF towards the anode, and the two compounds were separated in less than 8 min in a 60 cm total-length capillary, 75 microm id capillary with a BGE containing 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 2.0 with 20% ACN. When the sample containing the degradation product was injected, the presence of triazolaminoquinoline was confirmed.

Abstract
Emerging systems biology aims at integrating the enormous amount of existing omics data in order to better understand their functional relationships at a whole systems level. These huge datasets can be obtained through advances in high-throughput, sensitive, precise, and accurate analytical instrumentation and technological innovation. Separation sciences play an important role in revealing biological processes at various omic levels. From the perspective of systems biology, CE is a strong candidate for high-throughput, sensitive data generation which is capable of tackling the challenges in acquiring qualitative and quantitative knowledge through a system-level study. This review focuses on the applicability of CE to systems-based analytical data at the genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic levels.

Abstract
The purpose of the present investigation was to develop a test for related substances in the benzodiazepine drug substance bromazepam based on capillary electrophoresis (CE). A final method for the determination of impurities in bromazepam is based on non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE). Five modes of capillary electrophoresis were investigated and compared for the said purpose. All the CE systems investigated make use of running buffers at low pH in order to protonate the analytes. A low pH of the running buffers was needed as the pK(a) values of benzodiazepines in general are in the range from 1.3 to 4.6. Dynamically coated capillaries were used to overcome the low electro-osmotic flow at low pH in the aqueous buffers investigated. CZE with and without dynamical coating of the internal surface of the fused capillaries was compared and also micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) as well as microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC) performed in dynamically coated capillaries were investigated. The NACE was chosen as the best technique as the low solubility of the benzodiazepines in water is easily overcome. The NACE system showed good selectivity and detectability for the substances investigated and the limit of quantitation for the impurities corresponded to 0.05% of the drug substance. Linearity was good.

Abstract
Two novel analytical methodologies using capillary electrophoresis (CE) and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) for the determination of diazepam in commercial and simulated tablet formulations were developed and compared. The CE analysis was carried out in a bare fused-silica capillary with 75 microm i.d. and total length of 50 cm (28 cm to the detector) with a buffer solution containing 20 mmol L(-1) sodium tetraborate and 20 mmolL(-1) sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), pH 9.23. The applied voltage was 20 kV and bromazepam was used as internal standard (IS). The RP-HPLC analysis was carried out in a LiChrospher((R)) 100 RP-18 (5 microm) column with a mobile phase constituted of methanol, acetonitrile and water (45:25:30) with a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min, using acetaminophen as IS. In both cases, detection was carried out by ultraviolet (UV) absorption at 242 nm. Under the optimized conditions, the CE retention times for the standard diazepam and bromazepam (IS) were 4.08 and 3.43 min, respectively, and the retention times of the RP-HPLC analysis for the standard diazepam and acetaminophen (IS) were 4.86 and 1.58 min, respectively. The resolution and efficiency for CE were 7.4 and 1.18 x 10(5)plates/m and for RP-HPLC, 7.5 and 1.76 x 10(4) plates/m. Analytical curves of peak area versus concentration presented correlation coefficients of 0.9996 for CE and 0.9994 for RP-HPLC. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) were 4.24 and 12.85 microg/mL for CE and 1.44 and 4.36 microg/mL for RP-HPLC. Relative standard deviations (R.S.D.) were 1.62 and 0.98% for CE and RP-HPLC, respectively. The percentage recovery determined with CE was 100.27+/-1.25 and with RP-HPLC was 101.12+/-2.48. Although both methodologies were shown to be suitable for the determination of diazepam in tablets, performing in a similar manner with regards to several aspects (linearity, recovery and specificity), CE provided a faster analysis and column efficiency whereas RP-HPLC presented a superior repeatability and sensitivity.

Abstract
An overview of the electrokinetic chromatographic methods for the analysis of antiepileptic drug levels in biological samples is presented. In particular, micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography is a very suitable method for the determination of these drugs, because it allows a rapid, selective, and accurate analysis. In addition to the electrokinetic chromatographic studies on the determination of antiepileptic drugs, some information regarding sample pretreatment will also be reported: this is a critical step when the analysis of biological fluids is concerned. The electrokinetic chromatographic methods for the determination of recent antiepileptic drugs (e.g., lamotrigine, levetiracetam) and classical anticonvulsants (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin, ethosuximide, valproic acid) will be discussed in depth, and their pharmacological profiles will be briefly described as well.

Abstract
The applicability of a low pH volatile electrolyte for fast analysis of benzodiazepines with CE-MS was investigated. The electrolyte is based on a commercially available CEofix buffer system that produces a substantial and highly reproducible electroosmotic flow through a dynamic double coating principle. The system was first evaluated with a mixture of benzodiazepine standards in CE-DAD and the electrolyte composition was further optimized for CE-MS. The LOD for the six selected benzodiazepines with CE-MS was ca. 100 ppb, except for diazepam, for which the LOD was lower than 50 ppb. RSDs varied from 0.51 to 1.02% (n = 7) for migration times and from 4.75 to 11.80% (n = 7) for peak areas. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of a spiked urine sample after solid-phase extraction (SPE). CE-MS2 was performed on a standard mixture.

Abstract
The use of micellar electrokinetic chromatography for the determination of lormetazepam and its metabolite, lorazepam, in serum samples at a concentration range of therapeutic interest was investigated. The separation was carried out at 30 degrees C and 25 kV, using a 15 mM borate-phosphate buffer (pH 8) with 30 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate as the separation electrolyte and 15% methanol as organic modifier. The analyses were carried out in 20 min under these conditions. Detection limits of 0.5 mg l(-1) were achieved for both benzodiazepines in serum. This method was employed for the quantitative resolution of both drugs (at different concentration ratios) in serum with very good recoveries.

Abstract
One of the weak points of capillary electrophoresis is the need to implement rigorously sample pretreatment because its great impact on the quality of the qualitative and quantitative results provided. One of the approaches to solve this problem is through the symbiosis of automatic continuous flow systems (CFSs) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). In this review a systematic approach to CFS-CE coupling is presented and discussed. The design of the corresponding interface depends on three factors, namely: (a) the characteristics of the CFS involved which can be non-chromatographic and chromatographic; (b) the type of CE equipment: laboratory-made or commercially available; and (c) the type of connection which can be in-line (on-capillary), on-line or mixed off/on-line. These are the basic criteria to qualify the hyphenation of CFS (solid-phase extraction, dialysis, gas diffusion, evaporation, direct leaching) with CE described so far and applied to determine a variety of analytes in many different types of samples. A critical discussion allows one to demonstrate that this symbiosis is an important topic in research and development, besides separation and detection, to consolidate CE as a routine analytical tool.

Abstract
This review is in support of the development of selective, reproducible and validated capillary electrophoretis (CE) methods. Focusing on pharmaceutical and biological applications, the successful use of CE is demonstrated by more than 800 references, mainly from 1994 until 1998. Approximately 80 recent reviews have been catalogued. These articles sum up the existing strategies for method development in CE, especially in the search for generally accepted concepts, but also looking for new, promising reagents and ideas. General strategies for method development were derived not only with regard to selectivity and efficiency, but also with regard to precision, short analysis time, limit of detection, sample pretreatment requirements and validation. Standard buffer recipes, surfactants used in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC), chiral selectors, useful buffer additives, polymeric separation media, electroosmotic flow (EOF) modifiers, dynamic and permanent coatings, actions to deal with complex matrices and aspects of validation are collected in 20 tables. Detailed schemes for the development of MEKC methods and chiral separations, for optimizing separation efficiency, means of troubleshooting, and other important information for key decisions during method development are given in 19 diagrams. Method development for peptide and protein separations, possibilities to influence the EOF and how to stabilize it, as well as indirect detection are considered in special sections.

Abstract
A literature survey on published reports of the determination of drugs in biological fluids shows that all methods of sample pretreatment have been used and that the limits of detection achieved vary widely, ranging from low ngcm(-3) to microgcm(-3). The most widely used injection method was hydrodynamic and, in the majority of cases, whenever low detection limits were achieved, this was a result of preconcentration during the sample pretreatment. Only a small proportion of the reported methods employed electrokinetic injection and utilised the field amplified sample injection (FASI) techniques. An experimental investigation of the alternative hydrodynamic and electrokinetic injection methods for a small set of antimalarial drugs is reported. It was found that electrokinetic injection with FASI from an acetonitrile-water matrix produced dramatic improvements in detection limits. This improvement could not, however, be achieved when the drugs were in plasma using protein precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction or solid phase extraction pretreatment methods. This highlights the importance of sample pretreatment in utilising the potential sensitivity of capillary electrophoresis with electrokinetic injection.

Abstract
Studies of the capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) behaviour of 1,4-benzodiazepines have seen application in subject areas such as the development of pharmaceuticals, therapeutic drug monitoring and forensic toxicology. In the development of pharmaceuticals, pKa determinations by CZE can be used in preclinical studies whereas analytical data on the detection and determination of 1,4-benzodiazepines is of value primarily in raw material/formulation assay and in the analysis of body fluids in clinical studies. The capillary electrophoresis (CE) techniques, which generally have inferior limits of detection (LOD) to rival techniques such as gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), are particularly applicable in forensic toxicology where reasonably high concentrations of these drugs can be encountered. It is anticipated that, with the interfacing of CZE and capillary electrochromatography (CEC) with mass spectrometry (MS) techniques, the excellent selectivity of CZE and particularly CEC will be effectively combined with the sensitivity of MS and the identification capabilities of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and MS hyphenated (MSn) techniques.

Abstract
Ninety eight urine samples were analysed with an immunoassay benzodiazepine kit. A total of 68 urine specimens that were presumptively positive for benzodiazepines were evaluated by the REMEDi HS urine benzodiazepine assay (BIO-RAD, Munich, Germany). Of this number, 53 (78%) specimens were found by REMEDi to contain one or more benzodiazepines or their metabolites, and 15 (22%) were found to be negative. From the discordant group of 15 samples, eight were found to be negative using conventional chromatographic procedures (HPLC or GC/MS), while seven contained one or more benzodiazepines or metabolites, each of which were below the individual cut-off level specified by the manufacturer. Additionally 30 urine specimens that were negative for benzodiazepines using immunoassay were also tested by REMEDi. Two samples were found to be positive. These results could not be confirmed by other chromatographic techniques. The REMEDi HS benzodiazepine assay can be a very useful complementary technique in the clinical/forensic toxicology laboratory, especially for the identification of the parent benzodiazepines administered. The assay provides a rapid result in emergency situations and is useful in confirmation of preliminary positive immunoassay results.

Abstract
Since its introduction, capillary electrophoresis has diversified, spreading out into different specialized fields covering solutions for almost any analytical questions arising in research laboratories. In the context of clinical chemistry, results must be provided at low costs and in a clinically relevant time frame; however, the attributes which have made capillary electrophoresis such a successful tool in basic research are identical to those attracting clinical laboratories: speed (more efficient, less labor-intensive), low costs (minimal buffer consumption), small sample volume (reduced blood collection volume from patient), increased selectivity (determination of multiple solutes in one run), and versatility (detection of analytes over the wide range of molecular masses and chemical composition). Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that there are still some drawbacks at this stage to be solved in the near future, such as lack of sensitivity for many clinical applications or the constraint to measure in a sequential mode. The aim of this survey is to familiarize clinical chemists, as well as chemists, with a short introduction to capillary electrophoresis, followed by chapters reviewing prominent fields of applications and the latest developments in clinical chemistry.

Abstract
A fast and reliable method for the MEKC separation and determination of benzodiazepine antipileptics and their active metabolites in serum has been developed, using a separation buffer composed of borate (pH 9.5), SDS (18 mM), and acetonitrile (14%) as an organic modifier. The method is sensitive enough to be used clinically with a precision of less than 3% for the analysis of nitrazepam, clonazepam, clobazam, diazepam and their desmethyl metabolites in serum.

Abstract
Toxic drugs, including barbiturates and benzodiazepines, were analyzed using polyacrylamide-coated columns in capillary electrophoresis (CE). The separations were carried out in absence of electroosmotic flow. Seven kinds of barbiturates were successfully separated with the coated columns in free solution without further additives. Benzodiazepines, the electrically neutral solutes were introduced onto the coated column, and separated in presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate above its critical micelle concentration in the running buffer. This CE method offered fast and efficient separation of more hydrophobic solutes, such as benzodiazepines. The separation of seven barbiturates was studied in linear (noncross-linked) polyacrylamide solutions and in acrylamide/N-isopropylacrylamide (AA/IPAA) copolymer solutions to explore the effect of isopropyl groups in the AA/IPAA copolymer chain.
