A green and sensitive factorial design-assisted reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) approach with fluorimetric detection has been developed for simultaneous determination of cinnarizine and domperidone in pure materials, commercial single and combined tablets. Both drugs are co-formulated in one dosage form and are commonly used for the effective treatment of motion sickness in the ratio of 4 : 3 for cinnarizine and domperidone, respectively. To achieve the developed method's best performance and reliability, a 2 full factorial design was applied during the optimization of chromatographic conditions.

However, most chromatographic methods depend on the usage of relatively large amounts of lethal and un-decaying chemicals and solvents. So, a green approach based on the full factorial design was employed to develop a simple and rapid HPLC technique for concurrent determination of paracetamol and dantrolene sodium in their combined capsules.

A green, novel, simple and sensitive spectrofluorimetric approach was investigated and validated for the analysis of two important cardiovascular drugs namely; sildenafil citrate and xipamide using silver nanoparticles as a fluorescence probe (Ag-NPs). Silver nanoparticles were prepared through chemical reduction of silver nitrate using sodium borohydride in distilled water without using non-green organic stabilizer. These nanoparticles were stable, water soluble and had high fluorescence.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAtomoxetine hydrochloride (ATX) is a potent and non-stimulant drug which was approved for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Owing to its importance, two green, simple and validated spectrofluorimetric methods were developed for its sensitive assay in pure and capsule forms. The first method (Method I) relied on measuring the enhanced fluorescence of ATX by the use of sodium dodecyl sulfate in alkaline medium at 227 nm/ 298 nm.

Recently, Chemometric calibration methods in spectrophotometric analysis are achieving significant attention in the quality control of resolving drug mixtures and pharmaceutical formulations containing two or more drugs with overlapping spectra. The simple univariate methods have been used over the last few decades and has proven to be highly efficient and easy to apply. In this study, a comparative study was performed between some univariate and multivariate methods to determine if chemometric methods can substitute univariate methods in pharmaceutical analysis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLower back pain is a universal dilemma leaving a negative effect on both health and life quality. It was found that a fixed dose combination of chlorzoxazone and ibuprofen gave a higher efficiency than analgesic alone in treatment of acute lower back pain. Based on the significant benefit of that combination, a green, sensitive, rapid, direct, and cost-effective method is created for concurrent determination of ibuprofen and chlorzoxazone in presence of 2-amino para chlorophenol (a synthetic precursor and potential impurity of chlorzoxazone) adopting the synchronous spectrofluorimetric technique.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAn optimization approach based on full factorial design was employed for developing an HPLC-UV method for simultaneous determination of a quaternary mixture used for the treatment of symptoms related to common cold and COVID-19. The quaternary mixture is composed of paracetamol, levocetirizine dihydrochloride, phenylephrine hydrochloride and ambroxol hydrochloride. The developed technique is a green, fast and simple method that uses isocratic elution of mobile phase consisting of 20:5:75 (v/v) of ethanol: acetonitrile: 2.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA green, quick and sensitive spectrofluorimetric technique was investigated and validated for the assay of three different drugs namely, ketoprofen (KPN), paracetamol (PAR), and chlorzoxazone (CLX). The method is based on fluorescence quenching of the fluorescence probe, silver nanoparticles (SNPs). The fluorescence quenching of SNPs may be attributed to the complexation between each of the studied drugs with SNPs.
