SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 310:123891. [PMID: 38245970 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.123891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
A sensitive and selective spectrophotometric approach comprising of successive ratio subtraction was developed for quantification and resolution of spectrum of mixture containing three components without prior separation. Three components, namely paracetamol, chlorzoxazone and ibuprofen were present in tablet dosage form. The linearity studies were carried out by recording zero order spectra and measuring absorbances at 285.0, 282.0 and 220.0 nm for paracetamol, chlorzoxazone and ibuprofen respectively. The drugs exhibited linear response in the concentration range of 6.0-18.0, 3.0-15.0 and 4.0-20.0 µg / mL for paracetamol, chlorzoxazone and ibuprofen respectively. The spectrum of paracetamol was most extended which was subsequently followed by moderately extended spectrum of chlorzoxazone and unextended spectrum of ibuprofen. The ratio spectra were manipulated successfully for quantification of paracetamol, chlorzoxazone, and ibuprofen. The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines for the parameters of specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy. The percent recoveries for all the three drugs were in the range of 98.0-102.0 % with mean recovery of paracetamol, chlorzoxazone and ibuprofen were 99.72, 99.02 and 100.34 % respectively. Additionally the validity of the method is assured by analyzing marketed formulation.

Abstract
UV spectroscopy is considered the simplest, the most money and time investor technique in analytical research. Besides its lowered solvent and energy consumption leading to greener outcomes, its practicality is wide and suitable for a wide range of applications. Multicomponent mixtures are always representing themselves as a problematic challenge for any analytical technique fortunately UV spectroscopic methods found many ways to tackle these mixtures. Fourier self-deconvolution (FSD) was recently applied in UV spectroscopy as an effective tool for the resolution of binary mixtures unfortunately like any other method may fail to completely resolve severely overlapping mixtures. In this paper, we epitomize the newly developed deconvoluted amplitude factor (DAF) spectrophotometric approach which couples the concepts of both the FSD and the amplitude factor methods for the resolution of tadalafil (TAD) in its binary mixtures with dapoxetine hydrochloride (DAP) or tamsulosin hydrochloride (TAM). The embraced approach was assessed regarding its greenness utilizing different assessing protocols to give evident proof for its sustainability. The innovative approach showed an enhancement in the resolution of binary mixtures and showed high sensitivity as noticed from limits of detection and quantitation which were (0.374, 1.136 μg/mL), (0.269, 0.817 μg/mL), and (0.518, 1.569 μg/mL) for TAD, DAP, and TAM, respectively. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines recommendations and also was statistically compared with recently reported methods which revealed no statistically significant difference. A very handy and reader-friendly data presentation approach was followed for the ease of statistical data interpretation and evaluation.

Abstract
Spectrophotometric resolution of severely overlapped binary mixtures with minor component is challenging. Herein, coupling of mathematical manipulation steps with sample enrichment was conducted on the binary mixture spectrum of Phenylbutazone (PBZ) and Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEX) to resolve, for the first time each component separately. Simultaneous determination of both components in a mixture ratio of 1:0.002 was achieved in their zero or first order spectra by the recent factorized response method along with ratio subtraction and constant multiplication methods; all coupled with spectrum subtraction. In addition, a novel second derivative concentration value and second derivative constant value methods were developed for PBZ determination. The concentration of the minor component DEX was obtained, without preliminary separation steps by derivative ratio after sample enrichment by either spectrum addition or standard addition. Spectrum addition approach showed superior characteristics compared to standard addition technique. All proposed methods were placed through a comparative study. Linear correlation was found to be 1.5-18.0 µg/mL for PBZ, and 4.0-45.0 µg/mL for DEX. The proposed methods were validated in accordance with ICH guidelines. The greenness assessment of the proposed spectrophotometric methods was evaluated by AGREE software. Results obtained from the statistical data were evaluated by comparing to one another as well as the official USP methods. These methods offer a cost and time effective platform to analyze bulk materials and combined veterinary formulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spectrophotometric resolution of a mixture of several drugs is considered a cheaper, simpler, and more versatile alternative compared to costly chromatographic instruments. OBJECTIVE The work aims to resolve the interfering spectra of ephedrine hydrochloride, naphazoline nitrate, and methylparaben in nasal preparations using smart spectrophotometric methods. METHOD In our work, derivative and dual-wavelength methods were combined to eliminate this interference, under the name of derivative dual-wavelength method. Other methods, namely successive derivative subtraction and chemometric analysis, were also able to eliminate this interference. The methods have proven their applicability as they follow the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) requirements regarding repeatability, precision, accuracy, selectivity, and linearity. Eco-scale, GAPI, and AGREE tools were used to estimate the possible environmental effects of the methods. RESULTS Acceptable results for repeatability, precision, accuracy, selectivity, and linearity were obtained. Limit of detection (LOD) values were 2.2 for ephedrine and 0.3 for naphazoline. The correlation coefficients were above 0.999. The methods were proven to be safe for application. CONCLUSIONS The introduced methods are cheap and easily implemented compared to chromatographic techniques. They can be used in purity-checking of raw material and estimation of concentrations in market formulations. The replacement of the published chromatographic techniques with our developed methods is useful when needing to save money, effort, and time. HIGHLIGHTS The three components of a decongestant nasal preparation were determined using cheap, green, and versatile spectrophotometric methods that keep the advantages of chromatographic techniques, including accuracy, reproducibility, and selectivity.

Abstract
Mathematical filtration is an efficient tool to resolve the overlapping spectra of binary mixtures in zero or first order form. Herein, a comparative study was conducted between six economic, accurate and precise spectrophotometric methods for determination of Triclabendazole (TCB) and Levamisole HCl (LVM). Each component was resolved with minimum mathematical steps in its zero-order absorption spectrum by ratio subtraction, constant multiplication, and the recent factorized response method; coupled with spectrum subtraction. In addition, the mixture was resolved in its first derivative form by derivative subtraction, D1 constant multiplication, and the recent D1 factorized response method; coupled with spectrum subtraction. Results obtained were also compared to those obtained from constant value, concentration value, and derivative ratio methods. The linearity range was found to be either 1.0-10.0 µg/mL or 2.0-20.0 µg/mL for TCB, and 2.0-14.0 µg/mL for LVM with LOD of 0.08 µg/mL and 0.19 µg/mL, respectively. Validation of the proposed methods was performed according to VICH guidelines. Results obtained from the statistical data showed no significant difference regarding accuracy and precision compared to the reported methods. The developed spectrophotometric methods followed the principles of green analytical chemistry, in which the green assessment was done through four tools, called, National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI), Analytical Eco-Scale (AES), Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI) and Analytical greenness metric (AGREE). Also, a white assessment was performed using RGB model. The proposed methods could offer an economic alternative for the routine analysis of bulk materials and combined veterinary dosage form.

Abstract
A sequential spectrophotometric resolution technique (SSRT) was developed in this study without the use of systematic separation procedures to determine drug of a quaternary combination; caffeine (CAF), pseudoephedrine (PSE), doxylamine succinate (DOX), and paracetamol (PAR). Their presence in a tablet with a gap ratio of 3:3:1:150, respectively, and their overlapping spectra with low absorptivities make their resolution and determination impossible without prior separation. successive ratio subtraction technique (SRST) and constant multiplication method were used to solve these problems. Furthermore, an in-lab sample enrichment technique was applied to increase minor components concentration and consequently their absorbanses (CAF, PSE, and DOX). The D0 absorption spectra were generated by successive ratios followed by subtraction and multiplication of the constants. The maximum absorbances of the drugs tested, namely (CAF, PSE, DOX and PAR) were measured at wavelengths of 272.0, 257.0, 260.0, and 248.0 nm, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.021, 0.124, 0.186, 0.137 and 0.070, 0.414, 0.621, 0.456 (µg/mL), respectively. The linearitiy ranges (µg/mL) were 1.0-22.0, 1.0-24.0, 10.0-90.0 and 1.0-15.0 for CAF, PSE, DOX, and PAR, respectively. The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines were applied for method validation, and the results obtained were within the limited parameters. The finding results were compared to official and/or published analytical methods to determine the procedure's reliability. It was noted that there was no actual difference in accuracy and precision between both meyhods. The proposed technique is sensitive, selective and economic;so it can be applied to the simultaneous analysis of these drugs in their commercial tablets and/or in quality-control laboratories.

Abstract
Simple accurate and precise validated UV spectrophotometric methods have been described here for the simultaneous determination of Tretinoin (TN) Eusolex (EX) Hydroquinone (HQ) & Hydrocortisone acetate (HC) in their dosage form. Simultaneous determination of these four drugs was a major challenge till now. Each spectrum was filtered alone to its zero-order absorption spectrum (D0) form getting spectra typical to each pure component separately. Four methods were applied depending upon constants obtained from extended regions of partially overlapped spectra in the zero or first derivative forms. The methods applied are constant multiplication coupled with spectrum subtraction method (CM-SS) derivative transformation coupled with spectrum subtraction method (DT-SS) constant value method (CV) and concentration value (conc.value) method. The partially overlapped spectra of TN and EX in the mixture were obtained by CM-SS in their zero-order form allowing direct measurement at their λmax while the resolved binary mixture of HQ and HC obtained by SS; was determined by derivatization and transformed to their zero order by DT-SS. Also Ex and HQ concentrations were determined by the graphical representation of data only without regression equation by concentration value method and the results were compared to the conventional constant value method using a regression equation. The methods applied to the quaternary mixture under study were successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of the four drugs in synthetic mixtures and in their combined dosage form Tritospot® cream. Comparing the acquired results statistically together and to official methods demonstrated no significant difference.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent incorporated spectrophotometer software supporting mathematical methods was considered as an optimum key for the resolution of multicomponent mixtures. OBJECTIVE Several spectrophotometric techniques are introduced for the determination of mixtures of tretinoin (TN), hydroquinone (HQ), and fluocinolone acetonide (FA), in the presence of the preservative methyl paraben (MP), without any separation procedure, taking into consideration the presence of two minor components and the severe overlap of their spectra. METHOD Constant multiplication coupled spectrum subtraction resolved the quaternary mixture into the zero-order absorption spectrum of TN alone and a severely overlapped, ternary mixture of HQ, FA, and MP. Three approaches based on the derivative ratio spectra were applied to resolve this ternary, severely overlapped mixture: derivative ratio-zero-crossing point method, factorized derivative ratio method, and double divisor derivative ratio method. RESULTS The work was conducted over a concentration range of 1-10, 4-38, and 4-35 µg/mL, for TN, HQ, and FA, respectively. The results obtained were compared statistically to each other and to the official methods, showing no significant difference. CONCLUSIONS The proposed methods were successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of the three drugs in the presence of MP in synthetic mixtures and in their combined dosage form (Trimelasma® cream) with very good accuracy and precision. HIGHLIGHTS This was a comparative study between conventional and new methods for resolving ternary, severely overlapped mixtures. Mathematical manipulation steps and enrichment techniques aided accurate quantification of the minor components in mixtures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of mathematical manipulation on the efficiency of smart spectrophotometric approaches was considered for analyzing a veterinary binary mixture of tylosin tartrate (TYT) and doxycycline hydrochloride (DOX). OBJECTIVE Based on subtraction which can be response subtraction via numerical factor calculation between two wavelengths. METHOD Absorbance subtraction (AS) and amplitude summation (A-Sum), or subtraction of constant value or spectrum, was used to eliminate the contribution of the interfering component, as is done in spectrum subtraction (SS), extended ratio subtraction (EXRS), ratio subtraction (RS), and derivative subtraction (DS), or multiplication of a constant value by the divisor to get the spectrum of one component, or division by the normalized spectrum to modulate the original absorption spectrum to concentration as in concentration value and also detected in amplitude modulation (AM). The derivative transformation method (DT) is a form of mathematical manipulation that transforms a derivative to its original absorption form. RESULTS The consumption of these methods will become more significant in quality control departments for the repetitive quantitative analysis of different veterinary products in both research and industry laboratories. Some manipulations may be used for simultaneous analysis of DOX and TYT, such as absorbance subtraction, amplitude modulation, ratio subtraction and derivative subtraction coupled with spectrum subtraction, concentration value, and amplitude summation, while others may be used for DOX only, such as derivative transformation and constant value. CONCLUSIONS The recovery percentages confirmed that the accuracy and the reproducibility were approved by the following ICH guidelines. HIGHLIGHTS 1. Partitioning methods: which perfectly divide the drugs response at the iso-point such as amplitude modulation, absorbance subtraction and amplitude summation. 2. Extracting methods: which easily calculate zero-order of the two cited drugs in such as ratio subtraction were coupled with extended ratio subtraction method (RS-EXRS), spectrum subtraction (SS), constant multiplication method (CM) or extract their derivative spectra such as derivative subtraction. 3. Transforming methods: which able to change the derivatized spectrum to its original zero spectra such as derivative transformation. 4. Graphical methods: which directly measure the concentration of the drugs from the chart.

[PMID: 34215026 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2021] [Revised: 05/03/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been considered to be one of the most promising green alternatives of conventional volatile solvents for liquid-liquid separation. However, acidic hydrophobic DESs have been less studied although they are of great importance for the extraction of compounds which are unstable in alkaline conditions. In this study, a novel family of acidic hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents was designed and prepared from methyl trioctyl ammonium chloride and a series of haloacetic acids. For the first time, the obtained DESs were used for extraction and determination of calcium dobesilate, which is an extensively used medicine for treating vascular diseases, but it can be easily oxidized under alkaline and neutral conditions. The factors influencing extraction process including pH, temperature, extract time, inorganic salts and organic coexistence were systematically investigated. It is found that these DESs exhibited outstanding extraction performance towards calcium dobesilate. The extraction equilibrium time was only 3 min in a wide range of pH (1.2-9.2) at room temperature and the extraction capacity was up to 504 mg/g. The detection limit of calcium dobesilate extracting from water samples was 0.05 μg/L and the limit of quantification was 0.5 μg/L. A variety of inorganic salts with the concentration up to 1.0 mol/L and common coexisting organic compounds, such as glucose and starch, with the concentration more than 1000 times higher than the target analyte had no obvious impact on the extraction efficiency. The relative recovery for real samples ranged from 93.2% to 108.6%. Furthermore, the DESs could be recycled and regenerated through back extraction. After fifteen cycles, the extraction efficiency was still up to 99%. Finally, the extraction and back extraction mechanism was discussed in detail.

Comprehensive comparative study of eco-friendly Univariate and multivariate methodological approaches on processing multi-component formulation quality. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 243:118816.

Abstract
This study presents comprehensive comparative study of different eco-friendly spectrophotometric approaches without any sample treatment on processing quaternary mixture of sulphadimidine sodium (SDS), sulphaquinoxaline sodium (SQS), diaveridine (DVD) and vitamin K3 (VTK3). The different univariate complementary resolutions according to the response used for the assay of the cited drugs after applying the processing steps were implemented using successive ratio subtraction coupled with constant multiplication (SRS-CM), absorbance subtraction (AS) and amplitude modulation (AM). On the other hand, multivariate spectrophotometric models were developed and validated for simultaneous determination of the cited mixture. Resolution was accomplished by using two multivariate calibration greener models, including principal component regression (PCR) and partial least-squares (PLS). The proposed approaches are considered environmentally friendly since they use only water as reagent, which is cheap and safe for the operator. The calibration graphs are linear over the range of (4.0-13.0) μg/mL for (SDS), (1.0-10.0) μg/mL for (SQS), (1.0-11.0) μg/mL for (DVD) and (1.0-8.0) μg/mL for (VTK3). Specificity of the applied procedures was assessed by analyzing the laboratory-prepared mixtures and their combined dosage form. The outcomes of the developed methods were statistically compared with those of the official and reported methods; using Student's t-test and F-test, showing no significant difference. The proposed methodologies can be used for the routine analysis of the cited drugs in quality control laboratories.

Abstract
Quadriderm cream was a combination of four components; Clioquinol (CLIO), Betamethasone (BETA), Tolnaftate (TOL), Gentamicin (GEN) in addition to the preservative Chlorocresol (CC). Four components CLIO, TOL, BETA, and CC were extracted in methanol and determined by mathematic filtration spectrophotometric techniques. The partially overlapped spectrum of CLIO was determined by constant value, constant multiplication, and concentration value methods then eliminated via spectrum subtraction (SS) to get the resolved ternary mixture of TOL, BETA, and CC with severely overlapping spectra. TOL was determined by derivative ratio at zero crossing point of BETA using CC as a divisor. While, BETA could be determined using TOL as a divisor at zero crossing of CC. BETA and CC were obtained using novel (DD1FS) followed by SS. By applying these novel procedures, the DD1 spectrum of each component alone was recovered where Pmax-min was directly proportional to its concentration. Liquid-liquid extraction technique was used for the semisolid dosage form where GEN was extracted with a mixture of chloroform: water (50:50, v/v); and the induced fluorescence obtained by derivatization with o-phthalaldehyde was measured at 419 nm after excitation at 359 nm. Accuracy and precision testing of the developed methods showed good results. Specificity of the methods was ensured and was successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulation of the five components in combination. ICH guidelines were used for validation of the proposed methods. Statistical data were calculated, and the results were satisfactory revealing no significant difference regarding accuracy and precision.

Abstract
A simple, specific, accurate and precise spectrophotometric method was established for simultaneous determination of acetaminophen and caffeine in pure form and in their pharmaceutical formulation commercially known as Panadol Extra®. Spectrum subtraction has been used in simultaneous determination of both drugs without prior separation. Spectrum subtraction method parameters were validated according to ICH guidelines in which accuracy, precision, repeatability and robustness were found in accepted limits (98-102%). The linearity range was 7.5-45 µg/mL for caffeine and 4-22 µg/mL for acetaminophen with correlation coefficients ≥0.9990 for both drugs. Advantages and disadvantages of spectrum subtraction were discussed and statistical comparison between the proposed method and the reference one was performed.

Abstract
Background:
Smart different stability-indicating spectrophotometric methods have been
established for the assay of chlordiazepoxide and clidinium bromide without the intervention of alkaline
degradate of clidinium via various and different manipulating pathways without previous separation
steps.
Objective:
The specificity of the established methods was inspected by analysing mixtures of cited
drugs in the existence of the alkali-induced degradation product.
Methods:
These methods were employed either on scanned zero-order absorption spectra using absorbance
subtraction, dual wavelength and Q-absorbance ratio or the amplitudes of the ratio spectra of
zero-order absorption spectra like amplitude modulation and by derivative techniques to the ratio spectra
as a derivative ratio method. In addition, the absorbance of the recovered zero-order absorption spectra
was applied by successive ratio subtraction coupled with constant multiplication. Finally, the pathway
depends on the amplitudes of the derivative spectra, successive derivative subtraction coupled with
constant multiplication. The ranges of linearity were (1-12µg/mL) for chlordiazepoxide and (3-
12µg/mL) for clidinium bromide.
Results:
The outcomes achieved by the prospective methods were in consent with those of the official
and reported methods when statistically compared using student’s t test, F-test and one-way ANOVA
where no significant difference was detected with suitable precision, proving the absence of any important
difference in accuracy and precision between them. They were confirmed in accordance with International
Conference on Harmonization guidelines.
Conclusion:
The established methods can be considered as alternative methods for the routine determination
of this fixed dose combination with minimum sample preparation.

Abstract
Six spectrophotometric methods were developed to determine a new single-dose otic solution known as "Otovel®," which consists of two components: the major one is ciprofloxacin (CIP) and the minor is fluocinolone acetonide (FLU). The ratio of (CIP) and (FLU) in Otovel® is 12 : 1, which is considered a challengeable ratio for UV determination. Thus, spectrum addition as a sample enrichment technique was required for the analysis of (FLU) low concentration. All these methods were capable of resolving the spectra for each component in D 0 belonging to the fingerprint resolution technique. The former absorptivity centering (a-centering) method was recently developed in 2018; it was effectively applied for its solution of both binary components in Otovel®, while another method, ratio subtraction (RS), is considered as an original resolution method that could be applied to determine only one component in mixtures. However, the other four methods that are related to their original method (RS) were extended ratio subtraction (EXRS), constant multiplication (CM), unified constant subtraction (UCS), and spectrum subtraction (SS). They were also easily applied for completing the quantification of binary mixture drugs present in Otovel®. The linearity ranges were found to be 3.0-15.0 μg/mL for (CIP) and (FLU), respectively. All results acquired from the proposed methods were successfully estimated according to ICH criteria and were statistically compared with official ones where no differences were noticed.

Abstract
Six simple, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric methods based on mathematical filtration technique are presented for concurrent determination of aceclofenac (ACE) and paracetamol (PAR) in presence of their degradation products, namely; diclofenac sodium (DIC) and 4-aminophenol (4-AP), respectively without preliminary physical separation procedures. This technique consists of several consecutive steps applied on built-in spectrophotometer software utilizing zero and/or derivative and/or ratio spectra of the studied components. These methods, namely, dual wavelength (DW), induced dual wavelength (IDW), derivative subtraction (DS) coupled with constant multiplication (CM), ratio difference method (RD), constant center method (CC) and the novel introduced unlimited derivative ratio method (UDD). This novel method has a very powerful competence for the analysis of the challengeable mixtures lacking zero crossing point. The linearity, accuracy and precision ranges of these methods were determined and validated as per ICH guidelines. Moreover, the specificity was checked by analyzing synthetic mixtures of both drugs. These methods were applied for the determination of the cited drugs in pharmaceutical formulation and a statistical comparison of the obtained results was made with each other and with those of reported spectrophotometric method. The comparison of the results of pure powder form showed that there is no significant difference between the proposed methods and the reported method regarding both accuracy and precision.

Abstract
Corticosteroids are a class of hormones released by the adrenal cortex, which includes glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Glucocorticoids have an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and calcium and effective anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity. Due to their intense immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity, glucocorticoids are used in the treatment of various inflammatory, malignant, allergic conditions such as rhinitis, asthma, dermatological, rheumatic, ophthalmic and neurological diseases, as well as after organ transplants. They are the most widely prescribed drugs in the world. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the analytical methods in pharmaceutical matrices for determination of corticosteroids. In this study, the predominance of liquid chromatography methods for the analysis of corticosteroids from pharmaceutical products is evident for both liquid and semisolid dosage forms as well as for solids. The same can be said for topical, oral and parenteral formulations. Methods such as spectrophotometry are also used, but given the advantages of chromatographic methods such as better selectivity and sensitivity, they have become the choice for analysis of these drugs, however, most methods still do not meet the credentials of "green chemistry."

Abstract
Trandolapril has no sharp peak in its zero-order spectrum and therefore, it is difficult to be measured by direct spectrophotometry. In this manuscript, several univariate and multivariate spectrophotometric methods were developed and validated for determination of Trandolapril (TR) and Verapamil (VR) combination. The first method for measuring Trandolapril is Constant Multiplication-Spectrum Subtraction (CM-SS), where Trandolapril was measured at 210 nm in its zero-order curve after elimination of Verapamil spectrum. Second and third methods are two Base Points (2BP) and area under the curve (AUC) to measure Trandolapril concentration without depending on the shoulder peak. The fourth method for Trandolapril is Derivative Subtraction (DS) that utilizes the sharp peak appeared in the first order spectrum of Trandolapril. Verapamil was determined by two methods, Constant Multiplication (CM) and Derivative Subtraction-Constant Multiplication (DS-CM). Also, two multivariate methods were developed for measurement of the mixture, Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Principal Component Regression (PCR). All the developed methods were validated as per ICH guidelines and the results proved that the developed methods are accurate and selective. Moreover, a statistical comparison between the developed methods and a reference method was done. Also, One-way ANOVA statistical test was done between all the proposed univariate and multivariate spectrophotometric methods.

Abstract
The application of spectrophotometric techniques has shown a tremendous development over the past few years, where it is possible to determine the concentrations of several components in complex matrix. A new feature will be introduced in this work where the application of spectrophotometric techniques will be enhanced to resolution and checking the purity of signals. The finger-print resolution "ratio subtraction method" (RSM) was coupled with the novel complementary method "unified constant subtraction" (UCS); in addition to the methods: extended ratio subtraction method (EXRSM), constant multiplication (CM) or "spectrum subtraction" (SS). These techniques were applied for the determination of the complex matrix of the binary mixture of chloramphenicol and dexamethasone. By applying official spectrophotometric methods, direct determination of the components was allowed with no need for validation procedures. The spectrophotometric techniques were successfully applied to the laboratory prepared mixtures and the combined dosage form where the purity of the extracted signals were tested by calculating the spectral contrast angle (θ) and the spectral ratio factor (SRF) where the results were compared to show the capability to recover pure spectral profiles and detect the presence of impurities. The proposed methods proved that spectrophotometric techniques can be used for identification and separation of signals, similar to chromatographic techniques.

Abstract
Simultaneous determination of miconazole (MIC), mometasone furaoate (MF), and gentamicin (GEN) in their pharmaceutical combination. Gentamicin determination is based on derivatization with of o-phthalaldehyde reagent (OPA) without any interference of other cited drugs, while the spectra of MIC and MF are resolved using both successive and progressive resolution techniques. The first derivative spectrum of MF is measured using constant multiplication or spectrum subtraction, while its recovered zero order spectrum is obtained using derivative transformation. Beside the application of constant value method. Zero order spectrum of MIC is obtained by derivative transformation after getting its first derivative spectrum by derivative subtraction method. The novel method namely, differential amplitude modulation is used to get the concentration of MF and MIC, while the novel graphical method namely, concentration value is used to get the concentration of MIC, MF, and GEN. Accuracy and precision testing of the developed methods show good results. Specificity of the methods is ensured and is successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulation of the three drugs in combination. ICH guidelines are used for validation of the proposed methods. Statistical data are calculated, and the results are satisfactory revealing no significant difference regarding accuracy and precision.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2016; 164:52-60. [PMID: 27078209 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2016.03.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2015] [Revised: 03/05/2016] [Accepted: 03/27/2016] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
Three simple, selective, and accurate spectrophotometric methods have been developed and then validated for the analysis of Benazepril (BENZ) and Amlodipine (AML) in bulk powder and pharmaceutical dosage form. The first method is the absorption factor (AF) for zero order and amplitude factor (P-F) for first order spectrum, where both BENZ and AML can be measured from their resolved zero order spectra at 238nm or from their first order spectra at 253nm. The second method is the constant multiplication coupled with constant subtraction (CM-CS) for zero order and successive derivative subtraction-constant multiplication (SDS-CM) for first order spectrum, where both BENZ and AML can be measured from their resolved zero order spectra at 240nm and 238nm, respectively, or from their first order spectra at 214nm and 253nm for Benazepril and Amlodipine respectively. The third method is the novel constant multiplication coupled with derivative zero crossing (CM-DZC) which is a stability indicating assay method for determination of Benazepril and Amlodipine in presence of the main degradation product of Benazepril which is Benazeprilate (BENZT). The three methods were validated as per the ICH guidelines and the standard curves were found to be linear in the range of 5-60μg/mL for Benazepril and 5-30 for Amlodipine, with well accepted mean correlation coefficient for each analyte. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy results were well within the acceptable limits.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective stability-indicating successive ratio subtraction coupled with constant multiplication (SRS-CM) spectrophotometric method was studied and developed for the spectrum resolution of five component mixture without prior separation. The components were hydroquinone in combination with tretinoin, the polymer formed from hydroquinone alkali degradation, 1,4 benzoquinone and the preservative methyl paraben. The proposed method was used for their determination in their pure form and in pharmaceutical formulation. The zero order absorption spectra of hydroquinone, tretinoin, 1,4 benzoquinone and methyl paraben were determined at 293, 357.5, 245 and 255.2 nm, respectively. The calibration curves were linear over the concentration ranges of 4.00-46.00, 1.00-7.00, 0.60-5.20, and 1.00-7.00 μg mL(-1) for hydroquinone, tretinoin, 1,4 benzoquinone and methyl paraben, respectively. The pharmaceutical formulation was subjected to mild alkali condition and measured by this method resulting in the polymerization of hydroquinone and the formation of toxic 1,4 benzoquinone. The proposed method was validated according to ICH guidelines. The results obtained were statistically analyzed and compared with those obtained by applying the reported method.

Abstract
Smart, sensitive, simple and accurate spectrophotometric methods were developed and validated for the quantitative determination of a binary mixture of mebeverine hydrochloride (MVH) and chlordiazepoxide (CDZ) without prior separation steps via different manipulating pathways. These pathways were applied either on zero order absorption spectra namely, absorbance subtraction (AS) or based on the recovered zero order absorption spectra via a decoding technique namely, derivative transformation (DT) or via ratio spectra namely, ratio subtraction (RS) coupled with extended ratio subtraction (EXRS), spectrum subtraction (SS), constant multiplication (CM) and constant value (CV) methods. The manipulation steps applied on the ratio spectra are namely, ratio difference (RD) and amplitude modulation (AM) methods or applying a derivative to these ratio spectra namely, derivative ratio (DD(1)) or second derivative (D(2)). Finally, the pathway based on the ratio spectra of derivative spectra is namely, derivative subtraction (DS). The specificity of the developed methods was investigated by analyzing the laboratory mixtures and was successfully applied for their combined dosage form. The proposed methods were validated according to ICH guidelines. These methods exhibited linearity in the range of 2-28μg/mL for mebeverine hydrochloride and 1-12μg/mL for chlordiazepoxide. The obtained results were statistically compared with those of the official methods using Student t-test, F-test, and one way ANOVA, showing no significant difference with respect to accuracy and precision.

Abstract
A novel spectrophotometric method was developed for determination of ternary mixtures without previous separation, showing significant advantages over conventional methods. The new method is based on mean centering of double divisor ratio spectra. The mathematical explanation of the procedure is illustrated. The method was evaluated by determination of model ternary mixture and by the determination of Amlodipine (AML), Aliskiren (ALI) and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) in laboratory prepared mixtures and in a commercial pharmaceutical preparation. For proper presentation of the advantages and applicability of the new method, a comparative study was established between the new mean centering of double divisor ratio spectra (MCDD) and two similar methods used for analysis of ternary mixtures, namely mean centering (MC) and double divisor of ratio spectra-derivative spectrophotometry (DDRS-DS). The method was also compared with a reported one for analysis of the pharmaceutical preparation. The method was validated according to the ICH guidelines and accuracy, precision, repeatability and robustness were found to be within the acceptable limits.

Abstract
A novel, simple and accurate algorithm capable of extracting the contribution of each component from a mixture signal where the components are completely overlapped was developed. It is based on the development of a coded function which eliminates the signal of interfering components using mean centering as a processing tool; finally the pure contribution of each component is extracted. The algorithm allows the determination of each component as a single one. It was validated by the use of simulated data set of three overlapped signals and tested against simulated random noise. Two fit values were developed and calculated for optimization, one to test that that the absorptivity values of the extracted spectra are within the confidence limits of the slope and the other is the correlation between the pure and extracted spectra. It has been successfully applied to real UV data of binary mixture of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol and ternary mixture of Amiloride hydrochloride, Atenolol and Hydrochlorothiazide in tablets and capsules, respectively. The results were compared to previously reported separation method and no significant difference was found regarding both accuracy and precision.

Abstract
This work represents a comparative study of two smart spectrophotometric techniques namely; successive resolution and progressive resolution for the simultaneous determination of ternary mixtures of Amlodipine (AML), Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) and Valsartan (VAL) without prior separation steps. These techniques consist of several consecutive steps utilizing zero and/or ratio and/or derivative spectra. By applying successive spectrum subtraction coupled with constant multiplication method, the proposed drugs were obtained in their zero order absorption spectra and determined at their maxima 237.6 nm, 270.5 nm and 250 nm for AML, HCT and VAL, respectively; while by applying successive derivative subtraction they were obtained in their first derivative spectra and determined at P230.8-246, P261.4-278.2, P233.7-246.8 for AML, HCT and VAL respectively. While in the progressive resolution, the concentrations of the components were determined progressively from the same zero order absorption spectrum using absorbance subtraction coupled with absorptivity factor methods or from the same ratio spectrum using only one divisor via amplitude modulation method can be used for the determination of ternary mixtures using only one divisor where the concentrations of the components are determined progressively. The proposed methods were checked using laboratory-prepared mixtures and were successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulation containing the cited drugs. Moreover comparative study between spectrum addition technique as a novel enrichment technique and a well established one namely spiking technique was adopted for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations containing low concentration of AML. The methods were validated as per ICH guidelines where accuracy, precision and specificity were found to be within their acceptable limits. The results obtained from the proposed methods were statistically compared with the reported one where no significant difference was observed.

Abstract
Smart and novel spectrophotometric and chemometric methods have been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of a binary mixture of chloramphenicol (CPL) and dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) in presence of interfering substances without prior separation. The first method depends upon derivative subtraction coupled with constant multiplication. The second one is ratio difference method at optimum wavelengths which were selected after applying derivative transformation method via multiplying by a decoding spectrum in order to cancel the contribution of non labeled interfering substances. The third method relies on partial least squares with regression model updating. They are so simple that they do not require any preliminary separation steps. Accuracy, precision and linearity ranges of these methods were determined. Moreover, specificity was assessed by analyzing synthetic mixtures of both drugs. The proposed methods were successfully applied for analysis of both drugs in their pharmaceutical formulation. The obtained results have been statistically compared to that of an official spectrophotometric method to give a conclusion that there is no significant difference between the proposed methods and the official ones with respect to accuracy and precision.

Abstract
Five, accurate, precise, and sensitive univariate and multivariate spectrophotometric methods were developed for the simultaneous determination of a ternary mixture containing Trimethoprim (TMP), Sulphamethoxazole (SMZ) and Oxytetracycline (OTC) in waste water samples collected from different cites either production wastewater or livestock wastewater after their solid phase extraction using OASIS HLB cartridges. In univariate methods OTC was determined at its λmax 355.7 nm (0D), while (TMP) and (SMZ) were determined by three different univariate methods. Method (A) is based on successive spectrophotometric resolution technique (SSRT). The technique starts with the ratio subtraction method followed by ratio difference method for determination of TMP and SMZ. Method (B) is successive derivative ratio technique (SDR). Method (C) is mean centering of the ratio spectra (MCR). The developed multivariate methods are principle component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS). The specificity of the developed methods is investigated by analyzing laboratory prepared mixtures containing different ratios of the three drugs. The obtained results are statistically compared with those obtained by the official methods, showing no significant difference with respect to accuracy and precision at p=0.05.

Abstract
Simultaneous determination of mixtures of lidocaine hydrochloride (LH), flucortolone pivalate (FCP), in presence of chlorquinaldol (CQ) without prior separation steps was applied using either successive or progressive resolution techniques. According to the concentration of CQ the extent of overlapping changed so it can be eliminated from the mixture to get the binary mixture of LH and FCP using ratio subtraction method for partially overlapped spectra or constant value via amplitude difference followed by ratio subtraction or constant center followed by spectrum subtraction spectrum subtraction for severely overlapped spectra. Successive ratio subtraction was coupled with extended ratio subtraction, constant multiplication, derivative subtraction coupled constant multiplication, and spectrum subtraction can be applied for the analysis of partially overlapped spectra. On the other hand severely overlapped spectra can be analyzed by constant center and the novel methods namely differential dual wavelength (D(1) DWL) for CQ, ratio difference and differential derivative ratio (D(1) DR) for FCP, while LH was determined by applying constant value via amplitude difference followed by successive ratio subtraction, and successive derivative subtraction. The spectra of the cited drugs can be resolved and their concentrations are determined progressively from the same ratio spectrum using amplitude modulation method. The specificity of the developed methods was investigated by analyzing laboratory prepared mixtures and were successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations containing the cited drugs with no interference from additives. The proposed methods were validated according to the ICH guidelines. The obtained results were statistically compared with those of the official or reported methods; using student t-test, F-test, and one way ANOVA, showing no significant difference with respect to accuracy and precision.

The proposed methods represent different aspects of manipulating ratio spectra of the ternary mixture of Ofloxacin (OFX), Prednisolone acetate (PA) and Tetryzoline HCl (TZH) combined in eye drops in the presence of benzalkonium chloride as a preservative. The proposed methods were checked using laboratory-prepared mixtures and were successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulation containing the cited drugs. The proposed methods were validated according to the ICH guidelines. A comparative study was conducted between those methods regarding simplicity, limitation and sensitivity. The obtained results were statistically compared with those obtained from the reported HPLC method, showing no significant difference with respect to accuracy and precision.

Abstract
This work represents a comparative study of a novel progressive spectrophotometric resolution technique namely, amplitude center method (ACM), versus the well-established successive spectrophotometric resolution techniques namely; successive derivative subtraction (SDS); successive derivative of ratio spectra (SDR) and mean centering of ratio spectra (MCR). All the proposed spectrophotometric techniques consist of several consecutive steps utilizing ratio and/or derivative spectra. The novel amplitude center method (ACM) can be used for the determination of ternary mixtures using single divisor where the concentrations of the components are determined through progressive manipulation performed on the same ratio spectrum. Those methods were applied for the analysis of the ternary mixture of chloramphenicol (CHL), dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DXM) and tetryzoline hydrochloride (TZH) in eye drops in the presence of benzalkonium chloride as a preservative. The proposed methods were checked using laboratory-prepared mixtures and were successfully applied for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulation containing the cited drugs. The proposed methods were validated according to the ICH guidelines. A comparative study was conducted between those methods regarding simplicity, limitation and sensitivity. The obtained results were statistically compared with those obtained from the official BP methods, showing no significant difference with respect to accuracy and precision.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2014; 125:138-146. [PMID: 24534425 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2014.01.095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2013] [Revised: 12/28/2013] [Accepted: 01/19/2014] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
Four, accurate, precise, and sensitive spectrophotometric methods are developed for the simultaneous determination of a ternary mixture containing amlodipine besylate (AM), olmesartan medoxomil (OL) and hydrochlorothiazide (HZ), where AM is determined at its λ(max) 364.6 nm ((0)D), while (OL) and (HZ) are determined by different methods. Method (A) depends on determining OL and HZ by measuring the second derivative of the ratio spectra ((2)DD) at 254.4 and 338.6 nm, respectively. Method (B) is first derivative of the double divisor ratio spectra (D-(1)DD) at 260.4 and 273.0 nm for OL and HZ, respectively. Method (C) based on successive spectrophotometric resolution technique (SSRT). The technique starts with the ratio subtraction method then measuring OL and HZ at their isoabsorptive point at 260.0 nm, while HZ is measured using the amplitude of first derivative at 335.2 nm. Method (D) is mean centering of the ratio spectra (MCR) at 252.0 nm and 220.0 nm for OL and HZ, respectively. The specificity of the developed methods is investigated by analyzing laboratory prepared mixtures containing different ratios of the three drugs and their combined dosage form. The obtained results are statistically compared with those obtained by the official or reported methods, showing no significant difference with respect to accuracy and precision at p=0.05.
