Four sensitive and precise stability-indicating methods for the determination of rebamipide (REB) in the presence of its acid-degradation products and in a pharmaceutical formulation were developed and validated. Method A used the first derivative of the ratio spectra (1DD) spectrophotometric method by measuring the peak amplitude at 249.4 nm (maximum) and at 259 nm (minimum), and at the total peak amplitude (from 249.

The first method was based on thin-layer chromatography (TLC) combined with densitometric determination of the separated bands. Adequate separation was achieved using silica gel 60 F254 TLC plates and ethyl acetate-methanol-toluene-ammonia solution, 33% (6.

Sensor 1 was fabricated using tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate (TpClPB) as an anionic exchanger without incorporation of an ionophore. Sensor 2 used 2-hydroxy propyl β-cyclodextrin as an ionophore while sensor 3 was constructed using 4-sulfocalix-8-arene as an ionophore.

The first method is a first derivative (D(1) ) spectrophotometric one, which allows the determination of DIA in the presence of its degradate at 322 nm (corresponding to zero crossing of the degradate) over a concentration range of 4-40 µg/mL with mean percentage recovery 100.21 ± 0.

The first method is a second derivative (D(2)) spectrophotometric one, which allows the determination of RIV in the presence of its degradate at 262 nm (corresponding to zero crossing of the degradate) over a concentration range of 50-500 microg/ml with mean percentage recovery 100.18 +/- 0.
