The development of two eco-friendly analytical methods for the simultaneous determination of eight cardiovascular drugs; hydrochlorothiazide (HCT), captopril (CPL), lisinopril (LSP), valsartan (VAL), atorvastatin (ATR), bisoprolol (BSL), amlodipine (AML) and carvedilol (CVL); alongside with the nutraceutical vincamine (VIC) is essential for sustainable pharmaceutical analysis. This study explores the application of Micellar Electro Kinetic Chromatography (MEKC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for this purpose. In MEKC method, the separation was done using fused silica capillary (41.

First, a novel LC-MS method was developed; second, a Phase IV, open-label, cross-over study was performed. Volunteers took single 20-mg TDL dose on day 1 followed by wash out period of 2 weeks then multiple oral dosing of 5-mg/day LNG for 13 days.

Methodology: A simple, sensitive and highly specific reversed-phase HPLC method was developed for simultaneous determination of four antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), levetiracetam, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine and carbamazepine, in real human plasma without interference from endogenous components of plasma.
Conclusion: The method was proved to be linear in the range of 0.
This work aims to develop HPLC-DAD method for linagliptin (LNG) quantitation in the presence of its degradation products in tablets and to study its degradation kinetics. LNG samples were extracted from tablets and diluted. Various ICH degradation conditions were applied to study LNG degradation kinetics.

A single, simple, selective and validated high performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method was developed for the determination of either linagliptin (LGP), saxagliptin (SGP) or vildagliptin (VGP) in their binary mixtures with metformin (MET) in pharmaceutical preparations using environmentally preferable green mobile phase system. Separation was carried out on Merck HPTLC aluminum sheets of silica gel 60 F254 using methanol-0.5% w/v aqueous ammonium sulfate (8 : 2, v/v) as mobile phase.

The first method was based on HPTLC separation of the three drugs followed by densitometric measurements of their bands at 274 nm. The separation was carried out on Merck HPTLC silica gel 60F254 aluminum sheets using chloroform-methanol-ammonia 27%, w/w (9 + 2 + 0.

For the derivative spectrophotometric measurement, NF was determined by measuring the peak to peak amplitude of (1)D263-299 and (2)D282-311 or the absolute peak height of (1)D237 and (2)D241, while its reaction product with concentrated sulfuric acid was determined by measuring the peak to peak amplitude of (2)D248-263 or the absolute peak height of (1)D275. For the spectrofluorimetric measurement, native NF fluorescence was measured in Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 5) at λem = 331 nm (λex = 277 nm), while the reaction product was measured in aqueous solution at λem = 385 nm (λex = 258 nm).

These are recording (i) A (1cm) versus log wavelength or (ii) A (1cm) versus wavenumber. The computer program was tested by calculating the ratios of the first derivative optima for a Gaussian band, and proved that changing wavelength into log wavelength or wavenumber is effective to squeeze an absorption curve non-linearly.
