STUDIES OF THE CRYSTALLINE FORM OF CEFUROXIME AXETIL: IMPLICATIONS FOR ITS COMPATIBILITY WITH EXCIPIENTS.

Amorphous and crystalline forms of cefuroxime axetil were identified and characterized using DSC, XRPD, SEM, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. Based on the results of chromatographic studies, changes in the kinetic mechanism and rate of degradation of the crystalline form of cefuroxime axetil in binary systems with excipients were also evaluated. The findings suggest that the mechanism of degradation of cefuroxime axetil in such systems depends on two factors: the applied excipient and storage conditions.

UHPLC: The Greening Face of Liquid Chromatography.

Pharmaceutical analysis based on chromatographic separation is an important part of studies aimed at developing routine quality analysis of drugs. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is one of the main analytical techniques recommended for drug analysis. Although it meets many criteria vital for analysis, it is time-consuming and uses a relatively high amount of organic solvents compared to other analytical techniques.

Solid-state stability study of meropenem - solutions based on spectrophotometric analysis.

Background: B-Lactam antibiotics are still the most common group of chemotherapeutic drugs that are used in the treatment of bacterial infections. However, due to their chemical instability the potential to apply them as oral pharmacotherapeutics is often limited and so it is vital to employ suitable non-destructive analytical methods. Hence, in order to analyze such labile drugs as β-lactam analogs, the application of rapid and reliable analytical techniques which do not require transferring to solutions or using organic solvents, following the current green approach to pharmaceutical analysis, is necessary.
