Development and validation of a repharsed phase- HPLC method for simultaneous determination of rosiglitazone and glimepiride in combined dosage forms and human plasma.

Background: Rosiglitazone (ROZ) and glimepiride (GLM) are antidiabetic agents used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A survey of the literature reveals that only one spectrophotometric method has been reported for the simultaneous determination of ROS and GLM in pharmaceutical preparations. However the reported method suffers from the low sensitivity, for this reason, our target was to develop a simple sensitive HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of ROZ and GLM in their combined dosage forms and plasma.

Spectrofluorimetric determination of sertraline in dosage forms and human plasma through derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate.

Background: Sertraline is primarily used to treat major depression in adult outpatients as well as obsessive-compulsive, panic and social anxiety disorders in both adults and children. A survey of the literature reveals that most of the reported methods are either insufficiently sensitive or tedious and require highly sophisticated and dedicated instrumentation. The proposed method is considered to be specific for determination of SER in presence of its metabolite (deaminated form).

Validated spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of lamotrigine in tablets and human plasma through derivatization with o-phthalaldehyde.

A sensitive, simple and selective spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of Lamotrigine (LMT) in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids. The method is based on reaction of LMT with o-phthalaldehyde in presence of 2-mercaptoethanol in borate buffer of pH 9.8 to yield a highly fluorescent derivative that is measured at 448 nm after excitation at 337 nm.

Simultaneous determination of sulpiride and its alkaline degradation product by second derivative synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy.

Simple and sensitive synchronous fluorimetric, and second derivative synchronous fluorometric methods were developed for the validated and simultaneous determination of sulpiride (SLP) and its alkaline degradation product (DSLP). The method is based on measuring the synchronous fluorescence of both the drug and its degradation product in borate buffer of pH 8 at Deltalambda of 45 nm. The peak amplitude ((2)D) was measured at 295.

Second-derivative synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy for the simultaneous determination of cinnarizine and nicergoline in pharmaceutical preparations.

A rapid, simple, and highly sensitive second-derivative synchronous fluorometric method has been developed for the simultaneous analysis of binary mixtures of cinnarizine (CN) and nicergoline (NIC). The method is based upon measurement of the native fluorescence of these drugs at constant wavelength difference (Deltalambda) = 80 nm in aqueous methanol (50%, v/v). The different experimental parameters affecting the native fluorescence of the studied drugs were carefully studied and optimized.
