A highly sensitive spectrofluorimetric method is developed for the determination of prucalopride succinate (PRU). The method depends on lanthanide-sensitized luminescence due to complex formation between the drug and terbium chloride (Tb) which is enhanced by the addition of 8 hydroxyquinoline (8HQ) and phosphate buffer (0.02 M, pH 3.

Resolving the spectral bands of the drugs into their discrete constituents is critical for an effective mathematical spectrophotometric method. The spectral resolution is ordinarily affected by the required application. In the current work an innovative, simple and green Relative Absorptivity Distribution (RAD) concept was established for the successful assay and assessing of content uniformity and purity index of tablet co-formulation which is recommended for lowering the blood glucose level and is comprised of Cangliflozin (CGF) and Metformin CGF and MTF.

Highly sensitive and selective liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of the recently approved oral hypoglycemic mixture; metformin (MET) and canagliflozin (CFZ) in human plasma using propranolol HCl (PPL) and tadalafil (TDF) as internal standards (IS), respectively. Analytes were extracted using protein precipitation induced by acetonitrile then liquid-liquid extraction was performed using ethyl acetate. Reversed phase HPLC was carried out using C18 analytical column (50 mm × 4.

Dapagliflozin (DPF) and saxagliptin (SXG) are currently co-formulated in a tablet dosage form which is prescribed to improve glycemic control. The absorption spectra of DPF and SXG were highly overlapped which completely hindered their simultaneous estimation at their λ 224 nm and 209 nm, respectively. Thus, in this work three smart and simple univariate spectrophotometric methods were originally established and validated for the first time in order to quantitatively estimate DPF and SXG in bulk forms and in combined pharmaceutical formulation without the requirement for any initial separation or treatment.

An efficient, selective, sensitive, and rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method was established and validated for the quantification of pramipexole dihydrochloride monohydrate and levodopa simultaneously in human plasma with the aid of diphenhydramine as an internal standard. A simple protein precipitation technique with HPLC grade acetonitrile was efficiently utilized for the cleanup of plasma. The analysis was performed using a Hypersil gold 50 mm × 2.

A facile, fast and specific method based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous quantitation of paracetamol, chlorzoxazone and aceclofenac in human plasma was developed and validated. Sample preparation was achieved by liquid-liquid extraction. The analysis was performed on a reversed-phase C HPLC column (5 μm, 4.

In the presented work several spectrophotometric methods were performed for the quantification of canagliflozin (CGZ) and metformin hydrochloride (MTF) simultaneously in their binary mixture. Two of these methods; response correlation (RC) and advanced balance point-spectrum subtraction (ABP-SS) were developed and introduced for the first time in this work, where the latter method (ABP-SS) was performed on both the zero order and the first derivative spectra of the drugs. Besides, two recently established methods; advanced amplitude modulation (AAM) and advanced absorbance subtraction (AAS) were also accomplished.

In this work, resolution and quantitation of spectral signals are achieved by several univariate and multivariate techniques. The novel pure component contribution algorithm (PCCA) along with mean centering of ratio spectra (MCR) and the factor based partial least squares (PLS) algorithms were developed for simultaneous determination of chlorzoxazone (CXZ), aceclofenac (ACF) and paracetamol (PAR) in their pure form and recently co-formulated tablets. The PCCA method allows the determination of each drug at its λmax.

A novel, fast, sensitive and specific technique using capillary electrophoresis coupled to a diode array detector has been developed for the separation and simultaneous determination of two antimigraine mixtures in tablet formulation. The two combinations are ergotamine tartrate (ERG), caffeine (CAF) and paracetamol (PAR) with either domperidone (DOM), combination (I) or metoclopramide (MET), combination (II). The proposed method utilized a fused silica capillary (55 cm × 75 µm i.
