Objective: The development of four spectrophotometric methods for quantification of REB and its impurity and degradation product: the debenzoylated isomer of REB (DER).

Methods: Method A is ratio difference spectrophotometry where 254 and 291 nm were selected for REB and 320 and 355 nm were selected for DER, allowing spectral discrimination for both.

The introduced research presents a novel in vivo quantitative method for assay of mixtures of pregabalin and tramadol as a common combinations approved for treatment of neuropathic pain. Green analytical chemistry is a recently emerging science concerned with control of the use of chemicals harmful to the environment in various analytical methods. Consequently, a green high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was achieved for determination of the mixture in human plasma and urine satisfying both analytical and environmental standards.

Mixtures of gabapentin, tramadol and/or amitriptyline are usually recommended for treatment of neuropathic pain. A novel GC-MS/MS method was developed to assess the studied mixture whether in pure forms or human biological fluids (plasma/urine). The chromatographic detection was performed using MS detector applying the selected ion-monitoring mode.

Four simple, sensitive and selective stability indicating spectrophotometric methods are presented for quantitative determination of the benzodiazepine drug; bromazepam (BMZ) and one of its reported potential impurities and degradation product; 2-(2-amino-5-bromobenzoyl) pyridine (ABP) in methanol. Method A, is isoabsorptive point coupled with D method, where good linearity was obtained by measuring the absorbance of BMZ at 264 nm (A) in the concentration range of 2-25 μg mL, and the absorbance of ABP at its λ 396 nm in concentration range of 0.5-24 μg mL.

A stressed study on the stability and degradation behavior under ICH forced degradation conditions of most widely used antiepileptic drug; carbamazepine (CMZ) is presented in this work. The research also includes studying spectrophotometric nature of CMZ and assaying it with mostly used spectrophotometric techniques. Six simple and sensitive spectrophotometric methods are introduced as stability indicating methods for quantitative determination of CMZ and its degradation product, one of its reported potential impurities; iminostilbene (IMS).

Validated simple, sensitive, and highly selective methods are applied for the quantitative determination of dexamethasone and chlorpheniramine maleate in the presence of their reported preservatives (methylparaben and propylparaben), whether in pure forms or in pharmaceutical formulation. TLC is the first method, in which dexamethasone, chlorpheniramine maleate, methylparaben, and propylparaben are separated on silica gel TLC F254 plates using hexane-acetone-ammonia (5.5 + 4.

Sofosbuvir and ledipasvir are the first drugs in a combination pill to treat chronic hepatitis C virus. Simple, sensitive, and rapid spectrophotometric methods are presented for the determination of sofosbuvir and ledipasvir in their combined dosage form. These methods were based on direct measurement of ledipasvir at 333 nm (due to the lack of interference of sofosbuvir) over a concentration range of 4.

Two accurate, sensitive, and selective stability-indicating methods are developed and validated for simultaneous quantitative determination of agomelatine (AGM) and its forced degradation products (Deg I and Deg II), whether in pure forms or in pharmaceutical formulations. Partial least-squares regression (PLSR) and spectral residual augmented classical least-squares (SRACLS) are two chemometric models that are being subjected to a comparative study through handling UV spectral data in range (215-350 nm). For proper analysis, a three-factor, four-level experimental design was established, resulting in a training set consisting of 16 mixtures containing different ratios of interfering species.

Different methods have been introduced to enhance selectivity of UV-spectrophotometry thus enabling accurate determination of co-formulated components, however mixtures whose components exhibit wide variation in absorptivities has been an obstacle against application of UV-spectrophotometry. The developed ratio difference at coabsorptive point method (RDC) represents a simple effective solution for the mentioned problem, where the additive property of light absorbance enabled the consideration of the two components as multiples of the lower absorptivity component at certain wavelength (coabsorptive point), at which their total concentration multiples could be determined, whereas the other component was selectively determined by applying the ratio difference method in a single step. Mixture of perindopril arginine (PA) and amlodipine besylate (AM) figures that problem, where the low absorptivity of PA relative to AM hinders selective spectrophotometric determination of PA.

This study was designed to establish, optimize and validate a sensitive, selective and accurate high-performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method for determination of zopiclone (ZPC) and its main impurity, 2-amino-5-chloropyridine, one of its degradation products, in raw material and pharmaceutical formulation. The proposed method was applied for analysis of ZPC and its impurity over the concentration range of 0.3-1.

Four simple, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric methods are presented for determination of Zopiclone (ZPC) and its impurity, one of its degradation products, namely; 2-amino-5-chloropyridine (ACP). Method A is a dual wavelength spectrophotometry; where two wavelengths (252 and 301 nm for ZPC, and 238 and 261 nm for ACP) were selected for each component in such a way that difference in absorbance is zero for the second one. Method B is isoabsorptive ratio method by combining the isoabsorptive point (259.

In this work two well known oral hypoglycemic drugs that are administered in combination for patients with type-II diabetes were simultaneously determined. Several spectrophotometric methods were developed and validated for the determination of metformin hydrochloride (MET), pioglitazone hydrochloride (PIO) and pioglitazone acid degradate (PIO Deg). Derivative, ratio derivative, isosbestic and chemometric-assisted spectrophotometric methods were developed.
