Spectrophotometric determination of mebeverine hydrochloride

Potentiometric determination of mebeverine hydrochloride antispasmodic drug based on molecular docking with different ionophores host-guest inclusion as a theoretical study

The scientific community has continued to pay particular attention to potentiometric sensors based on ion-selective membrane sensors as an energy-efficient, easy-to-use method suitable for microfabrication. To this end, potentiometric ion-selective sensors were used as an alternative green analytical instrument. Three distinct sensors relying on various ionophores were built and assessed. A cationic exchanger, tetra phenyl borate, was used in the polyvinyl chloride polymeric plasticized matrix using di octyl phthalate, where α, β, and γ cyclodextrins were utilized as ionophores. A comparative potentiometric analysis was carried out using three ion-selective sensor designs: α, β, and γ cyclodextrins sensors. β-Cyclodextrin significantly reduced the detection limit and improved the discriminative performance of mebeverine hydrochloride (MBV) in the pharmaceutical dosage form over α- and γ-cyclodextrins in the presence of other interfering chemicals. Additionally, a significant connection was made between the practical perspective and a theoretical investigation based on computational research. Nernstian potentiometric results for the optimum sensor were obtained for MBV in the range of concentrations 1.0 × 10^-2 to 1.0 × 10^-6 M, its slope was -58.70 ± 0.12 mV per decade with lower detection limits 4.50 × 10^-7 M. This computational molecular docking investigation clarified that the binding sites and modes were in good agreement with the experiment results. This investigation was applied to expect the interaction between MBV and the proposed sensors to ensure which ionophores were the best for MBV.

Simple Atomic Absorption Spectroscopic and Spectrophotometric Methods for Determination of Pioglitazone Hydrochloride and Carvedilol in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms

This study represents simple atomic absorption spectroscopic and spectrophotometric methods for determination of pioglitazone hydrochloride (PGZ-HCl) and carvedilol (CRV) based on formation of ion-pair associates between drugs and inorganic complex, bismuth(III) tetraiodide (Method A) and between drugs and organic acidic dyes, fast green and orange G (Method B). Method A is based on formation of ion-pair associate between drugs and bismuth(III) tetraiodide in acidic medium to form orange-red ion-pair associates, which can be quantitatively determined by two different procedures. The formed ion-pair associate is extracted by methylene chloride, dissolved in acetone, dried, and then decomposed by hydrochloric acid, and bismuth content is determined by direct atomic absorption spectrometric technique (Procedure 1) or extracted by methylene chloride, dissolved in acetone, and quantified spectrophotometrically at 490 nm (Procedure 2). Method B is based on formation of ion-pair associate between drugs and either fast green dye or orange G dye in acidic medium to form ion-pair associates. The formed ion-pair associate is extracted by methylene chloride and quantified spectrophotometrically at 630 nm (for fast green dye method) or 498 nm (for orange G dye method). Optimal experimental conditions have been studied. Both methods are applied for determination of the drugs in tablets without interference.

Spectrophotometric determination of benzydamine HCl, levamisole HCl and mebeverine HCl through ion-pair complex formation with methyl orange

A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been proposed for the assay of benzydamine HCl (BENZ), levamisole HCl (LEV) and mebeverine HCl (MBV) in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations. The method based on the reaction of the selected drugs with methyl orange (MO) in buffered aqueous solution at pH 3.6. The formed yellow ion-pair complexes were extracted with dichloromethane and measured quantitatively with maximum absorption at 422 nm. The analytical parameters and their effects on the reported systems are investigated. The extracts are intensely colored and very stable at room temperature. The calibration graphs were linear over the concentration range of 2-10 microg ml(-1) for BENZ, 6-24 microg ml(-1) for LEV and 4-14 microg ml(-1) for MBV. The stoichiometry of the reaction was found to be 1:1 in all cases and the conditional stability constant (K(f)) of the complexes have been calculated. The proposed method was successfully extended to pharmaceutical preparations-tablets. Excipients used as additive in commercial formulations did not interfere in the analysis. The proposed method can be recommended for quality control and routine analysis where time, cost effectiveness and high specificity of analytical technique are of great importance.

Potentiometric flow injection analysis of mebeverine hydrochloride in serum and urine

Four PVC membrane electrodes for the determination of mebeverine hydrochloride (MvCl) were fabricated and fully characterized in terms of composition, life span, usable pH range, working concentration range and temperature. The membranes of these electrodes consist of mebeverinium-silicotungstate (Mv-ST), silicomolybdate (Mv-SM), phosphotungstate (Mv-PT), or phosphomolybdate (Mv-PM) ion-associations dispersed in PVC matrix with dibutyl phthalate plasticizer. The electrodes showed near-Nernstian response over the concentration range of 4.0 x 10(-6) to 1.0 x 10(-2)M MvCl and were applied to the potentiometric determination of mebeverinium ion in pharmaceutical preparations, serum and urine in steady state and flow injection (FI) conditions with average recoveries of 96.4-102 % and relative standard deviations of 0.132-1.86%. The electrodes exhibit good selectivity for MvCl with respect to a large number of inorganic cations, organic cations, sugars and amino acids. The sensitivities of these electrodes are high enough to measure as low as 1.86 microg/ml of MvCl which permit the determination of the Ksp values of the ion-associates used. The proposed potentiometric methods offer the advantages of simplicity, accuracy, automation feasibility and applicability to turbid and colored sample solutions.

Spectrophotometric microdetermination of nefopam, mebevrine and phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations using alizarins

Simple and rapid spectrophotometric procedures have been established for quantitation of nefopam hydrochloride (NF) mebevrine hydrochloride (MB) and phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride (PP). The procedures are based on the reaction between the examined drugs (NF, MB and PP) and alizarin (I), alizarin red S (II), alizarin yellow G (III) and quinalizarin (IV) producing ion-pair complexes which can be measured at the optimum wavelength. The optimization of the reaction conditions is investigated. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration ranges 0.5-30.0 microg ml(-1). The molar absorptivity, Sandell sensitivity, detection and quantification limits are also calculated. The correlation coefficient was > or =0.9988 (n=6) with a relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of < or =1.3, for six determinations of 20 microg ml(-1). The methods are successfully applied to the determination of NF, MB and PP in their pharmaceutical formulations.

UV-spectrophotometry and square wave voltammetry at nafion-modified carbon-paste electrode for the determination of doxazosin in urine and formulations

By using several electrochemical techniques, the study of electroanalytical behaviour of antihipertensive Doxazosin at Nafion modified carbon paste electrode (NMCPE) has been carried out. The voltammetric peak is very pH dependent, reaching the maximum i(p) at pH 6.8 (Ep -0.17 V), the reduction process being quasi-reversible and fundamentally controlled by adsorption. A method based on the control of adsorptive preconcentration of the Doxazosin on the NMCPE, before its voltammetric determination, is proposed. The detection limit reached using square wave voltammetry (SWV) as redissolution technique was 2.33x10(-11) M and the variation coefficient at 2x10(-9) M level was 3.54%. A spectrophotometric study of Doxazosin has also been made and two waves at 244 and 329 nm (pH 1.7), were obtained. The wave at 329 nm changes its height and position with the pH, allowing the pKa determination (6.94+/-0.21) using different methods. The obtained detection limit was 0.5x10(-6) M, and the variation coefficient at 1.5x10(-5) M level was 0.99%. The UV spectrophotometric method is sufficiently accurate and precise to be applied in the Carduran tablets assay, while the voltammetric method (AdS-SWV) can in addition be used to determine the drug at trace level in human urine samples with good recoveries.
