A new accurate, precise thin layer chromatographic (TLC densitometric) approach was developed for the simultaneous analysis of ergotamine tartrate (ERG), phenobarbital sodium (PHEN), caffeine anhydrous (CAF), dipyrone sodium (DIP) and meprobamate (MEP) in their pure form and in their combined formulation; (MIGRANIL tablets). TLC separation depended on using a stationary phase of TLC plates F (20 × 10 cm) and using a developing system of ethyl acetate: methanol: n- hexane (8:2:3, by volume) with UV scanning at 254 nm for ERG, PHEN, CAF and DIP. For MEP, detection was done at 560 nm after spraying with 0.

These methods provide a cost-effective alternative to chromatographic techniques by utilizing spectrophotometry in pharmaceutical quality control. The proposed approaches, partial least squares-1 (PLS-1) and artificial neural network (ANN), were optimized using genetic algorithm (GA) to select the most influential wavelengths, enhancing model performance.

They are used to make coughing more productive and easier. A crucial element and a major issue in the pharmaceutical industry is the control of organic related impurities to obtain safe and effective treatment.

Sorafenib (SOR), a nonselective multi-kinase inhibitor, is used as a chemotherapeutic agent in different types of cancers including NSCLC in preclinical studies. Co-administration of GEM and SOR was found to be effective and well-tolerated in the treatment of NSCLC.

Combination of bendamustine (BEN), gemcitabine (GEM), and vinorelbine (VIB), (BEGEV) regimen, has been proved to be a tolerable, safe and effective regimen in relapsed/refractory classical hodgkin lymphoma (R/R cHL). Two chemometric models named principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) were established for determination and quantification of BEN, GEM and VIB simultaneously in the ranges of 5-25 µg/mL for each of BEN and VIB, while in the range of 10 -30 µg/mL for GEM in pure and spiked plasma using their UV absorbance. The updated methods have been proven their ability to predict the concentrations of the studied drugs and validated according to FDA guidelines showing good results.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTo date no analytical method has been developed for the determination of the BEGEV regimen and no study has investigated the kinetic interaction between the drugs, to give us priorities for further clinical study, so two rapid, accurate, sensitive and ecofriendly chromatographic methods were developed for the simultaneous determination of bendamustine (BEN), gemcitabine (GEM) and vinorelbine (VIB) using sildenafil (SIL) as an internal standard (IS) for the purpose of an pharmacokinetics study in rats. Firstly, the LC-MS/MS method was performed using a mixture of methanol and a 0.1% aqueous solution of formic acid as the mobile phase on a ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C (4.

Five simple, selective and accurate spectrophotometric methods have been applied and developed for first time for simultaneous determination of amlodipine besylate (AML) and celecoxib (CEL) in presence of one harmful impurity, 4-methylacetophenone (MAP), in their ternary mixture without prior separation. Those spectrophotometric methods were developed and called: dual wave length in ratio spectra (DWRS), successive ratio-derivative spectra (SDR), modified absorption factor method (MAFM), modified amplitude center method (MACM) and first derivative -zero crossing coupled with amplitude factor method (FDAF). These methods include various steps using zero /or ratio /or derivative spectra and some mathematical techniques.
