During COVID-19 pandemic, Favipiravir (FPV) showed a great efficacy against COVID-19 virus, it produced noticeable improvements in recovery of the patients. The aim of this study was to develop a new, green and simple method for the simultaneous determination of FPV and its acid-induced degradation product (ADP) in its pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms. This method will be key for the inevitable development of FPV solution and inhaler formulations.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFavipiravir (FAV) has been approved as an antiviral drug used in pandemic corona virus to treat covid-19. It has an amide moiety susceptible to hydrolysis and degradation in acid medium. Therefore, four simple, sensitive, and accurate stability indicating spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the determination of FAV in presence of its acid induced degradation product.

Objective: A highly sensitive and eco-friendly electroanalytical method was developed to quantify favipiravir.
Method: The voltammetric method optimized a sensor composed of reduced graphene oxide / modified carbon paste electrode in the presence of an anionic surfactant, improving the favipiravir detection limit.
Background: Safinamide, a highly specific inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B, is a new approved prodigious therapy used to cure Parkinson's disease (PD).
Objective: Before marketing and selling a medicine, manufacturers must guarantee that the manufacturing process is consistent by monitoring levels of process-related chemicals and drug contaminants. Therefore, five precise, fast, and accurate spectrophotometric techniques were employed and evaluated for the simultaneous measurement of safinamide and its synthetic precursor, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde.
Pharmaceutical quality control products (QC) demand quick, sensitive, and cost-effective methods to ensure high production at a low cost. Green analytical methods are also becoming more common in pharmaceutical research to cut down on the amount of waste that goes into the environment. Meclizine hydrochloride (MZH) and pyridoxine hydrochloride (PYH) are reported to be excellent for calming down COVID-19.

Fractional factorial design was used for screening of four independent factors: pH, flow rate, detection wavelength, and % of MeOH. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirmed that flow rate and % of MeOH were only significant.

D-α-Tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) is approved as a safe pharmaceutical adjuvant with marked antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In the current study, several QU-loaded self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) were investigated to improve QU bioavailability.

Charge-transfer complex (CTC) formation between tioconazole (TCZ) as an n-electron donor and 7, 7, 8, 8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) as a π-acceptor was studied spectrophotometrically with an accompanying kinetic and thermodynamic investigation. Multivariate data analysis via a set of experimental designs was executed for this purpose. A 2 - two-level full factorial design (FFD) was used for inspecting the proposed variables while a face-centered central composite design (FCCCD) was used to adjust the levels of variables proved to be significant.

Simple and sensitive spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods are described for analysis of acyclovir and acebutolol hydrochloride. The proposed methods are based on oxidation of the selected drugs with cerium(IV) ion in acidic medium with subsequent measurement of either the decrease in absorbance at 320nm or the fluorescence intensity of the produced cerous(III) ion at 361-363nm (excitation at 250nm). Beer's law obeyed from 2 to 8, 0.

Sensitive spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods are described for the determination of tramadol, acebutolol and dothiepin (dosulepin) hydrochlorides. The two methods are based on the condensation of the cited drugs with the mixed anhydrides of malonic and acetic acids at 60 degrees C for 25-40 min. The coloured condensation products are suitable for the spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric determination at 329-333 and 431-434 nm (excitation at 389 nm), respectively.
