Simultaneous estimation of rosuvastatin and amlodipine in pharmaceutical formulations using stability indicating HPLC method

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (3), 2014
A viable cost-effective and isocratic approach employing C-18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) based HPLC has been utilized to separate and estimate the drugs, rosuvastatin, amlodipine and their stress induced degradation products, simultaneously in pharmaceutical formulations. Focused on ICH guideline p...

Development and validation of UV spectrophotometric method for orbifloxacin assay and dissolution studies

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (3), 2014
New, simple and cost effective UV-spectrophotometric method was developed for the estimation of orbifloxacin in pharmaceutical formulation. Orbifloxacin was estimated at 290 nm in 0.5 M hydrochloric acid. Linearity range was found to be 1.0-6.0 μg mL-1. The method was tested and validated for variou...

Standardization method for measurement of hydroxyurea by Ultra High Efficiency Liquid Chromatography in plasma of patients with sickle cell disease

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (3), 2014
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a recessively inherited disease characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia, chronic inflammation, and acute episodes of hemolysis. Hydroxyurea (HU) is widely used to increase the levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). The objective of this study was to standardize and validate a met...

Formulation and in vitro evaluation of mucoadhesive controlled release matrix tablets of flurbiprofen using response surface methodology

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (3), 2014
The objective of the current study was to formulate mucoadhesive controlled release matrix tablets of flurbiprofen and to optimize its drug release profile and bioadhesion using response surface methodology. Tablets were prepared via a direct compression technique and evaluated for in vitro dissolution p...

Alginate-pomegranate peels' polyphenols beads: effects of formulation parameters on loading efficiency

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (4), 2014
Calcium alginate beads containing pomegranate peels' polyphenol extract were encapsulated by ionic gelation method. The effects of various formulation factors (sodium alginate concentration, calcium chloride concentration, calcium chloride exposure time, gelling bath time maintaining, and extract concent...

Simple and rapid spectrophotometric assay of albendazole in pharmaceuticals using iodine and picric acid as CT complexing agents

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (4), 2014
Two simple, rapid and inexpensive spectrophotometric methods are described for the determination of albendazole (ALB) in bulk drug and in tablets. The methods are based on charge-transfer (CT) complexation reaction involving ALB as n-donor and iodine as σ-acceptor (method A) in dichloromethane or pi...

Quantification and stress degradation studies of cefepime/tazobactam in dry injection form by an RP-HPLC method

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (4), 2014
A simple, specific, precise, accurate, linear, rapid, economic and validated stability indicating an RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous quantification of cefepime and tazobactam in a dry injection dosage form has been developed. Separation was performed on a 5 µm ACE C18 column with phosphate buffer, p...

Optimization and validation of an RP-HPLC method for the estimation of 6-mercaptopurine in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (4), 2014
A reverse phase HPLC method is described for the determination of 6-mercaptopurine in bulk and tablets. Chromatography was carried on a C18 column using a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.05 mol/L sodium acetate buffer (10:90 v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min-1 with detection at 324 nm. Th...

Screening of mucoadhesive vaginal gel formulations

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (4), 2014
Rational design of vaginal drug delivery formulations requires special attention to vehicle properties that optimize vaginal coating and retention. The aim of the present work was to perform a screening of mucoadhesive vaginal gels formulated with carbomer or carrageenan in binary combination with a seco...

Comparison of the antioxidant potential of antiparkinsonian drugs in different in vitro models

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 50 (4), 2014
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Furthermore, oxidative stress plays a role in PD, causing or contributing to the neurodegenerative process. Currently PD has only symptomatic treatment and still nothing ca...
