An accurate and precise RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for the determination of carbamazepine and its impurities iminostilbene and iminodibenzyl in a tablet formulation with fluphenazine as an internal standard. Buffer-methanol (50 + 50, v/v) was used as the mobile phase. During validation, specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, LOD, LOQ, and robustness of the method were tested.

The objective of the present study was to report the stability profile of novel antimigrain drug Eletriptan hydrobromide based on the information obtained from forced degradation studies. The drug was subjected to acid (0.1-1 mol L(-1) HCl), neutral and base (0.

Multicriteria optimization methodology was applied for development of isocratic reversed-phased HPLC method for simultaneous determination of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG) in human urine and plasma. In the first stage of method development, pH value of the water phase, percentage of acetonitrile, temperature of the column and flow rate of the mobile phase were investigated using fractional factorial design. Afterwards, the optimal conditions were found employing central composite design and Derringer's desirability function.

Two rapid, accurate and sensitive methods are developed and validated for the quantitative simultaneous determination of cefotaxime (CFX) and its active metabolite desacetylcefotaxime (DCFX) in urine. Based on the previous results which showed the four electron reduction of CFX at approximately -0.5 V, and the new findings that DCFX reduction occurred at more positive potential (-0.

The aim of this study was to develop and optimize a solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure for purification of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and its metabolite mycophenolic acid glucuronide (MPAG) in biological samples. During optimization process chemometric approach was applied. First, in screening experiments fractional factorial design (FFD) was used for selecting the variables which affected the extraction procedure.
