The determination of lansoprazole in pharmaceutical preparation by capillary electrophoresis

A kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of lansoprazole in pharmaceutical formulations

Asimple kinetic spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of lansoprazole in pharmaceutical formulations. The method is based on the oxidation of the drug with alkaline potassium permanganate at room temperature. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the increase in the absorbance owing to the formation of MnO 42? at 610 nm (Method A) and the decrease in the absorbance at 530 nm due to the disapperance of MnO4? (Method B). Calibration procedures were adopted for the assay of the drug. The calibration curves were linear over the concentration ranges of 5-150 and 5-70?g ml-1, with the corresponding calibration Equations: rate = -3.915x10-6 + 5.271x10-5 c and ?A = 1.04x 10-3 + 1.78x10-3 c for methods A, and B, respectively. A statistical comparison of the results of the proposed procedures with those of the reference spectrophotometric method show excellent agreement and indicated no significant difference between the compared methods in terms of accuracy and precision. Interval hypothesis tests were also performed, which indicated that the true bias of all samples was less than ? 2 %. .

Determination of lansoprazole in pharmaceutical capsules by flow injection analysis using UV-detection

The direct determination of lansoprazole by using a flow injection analysis (FIA) with UV-detection and its application to the pharmaceutical capsules is described, in this study. The best carrier solvent was found to be 0.01 M NaOH and it was determined at optimum conditions such as flow rate of 1 ml min(-1) and wavelength of 292 nm. Examining the repeatability of the method that was found to be 1.72% for intra-day and 2.13% for inter-day precision using the 8.01 x 10(-6) M lansoprazole concentration has validated the method. The linear range of the method was 5.4 x 10(-6) to 5.4 x 10(-5) M. The limit of detection and quantification was found to be 5.8 x 10(-7) and 1.7 x 10(-6) M, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the pharmaceutical capsules and very good results obtained. Thus, the FIA method for the quantification of lansoprazole can be proposed as a cheap, rapid, easy, accurate, and precise method for the routine determination in pharmaceutical preparations.
