Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of fluphenazine HCl and nortriptyline HCl in presence of their potential impurities perphenazine and dibenzosuberone in bulk and pharmaceutical formulation. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 282:121695. [PMID: 35933777 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2022.121695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Fluphenazine HCl (FLU) is an anxiolytic, while Nortriptyline HCl (NOR) is an anti-depressant. They are co-formulated together to treat depression and schizophrenia. Perphenazine (PER) and dibenzosuberone (DBZ) are the pharmacopeial impurities of FLU and NOR, respectively. Four spectrophotometric and multivariate chemometric methods were developed to determine the two drugs together or in presence of their two impurities in their bulk and pharmaceutical formulation. Method (A) is the triple divisor-ratio derivative (TDR) method, where the zero order spectrum of each component was divided by a mixture of the other 3 components, then the peak amplitudes of the first derivative spectra of FLU, NOR and DBZ were measured at 265, 245.4 and 283.2 nm, respectively. Method (B) is the double divisor-ratio difference-dual wavelength (DD-RD-DW) method, in which each component spectrum mixture was divided by a binary mixture of 2 of the interfering components. In the resulting ratio spectra, the amplitude difference is calculated between 2 wavelengths at which the third interfering component has zero difference. Methods (C and D) are the principle component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) models. Methods (A and B) failed to quantify PER (FLU impurity), while (C and D) succeeded to quantify all components. The four methods have been applied for the prediction of the FLU and NOR in their pharmaceutical formulation with good accuracy and precision. The proposed methods have been validated according to the ICH guidelines and the results were within the acceptable limits.

The Usefulness of In Vitro Percutaneous Absorption Experiments Applying the Infinite Dose Technique to Predict In Vivo Plasma Levels: Comparison of Model-Predicted and Observed Plasma Concentrations of Nortriptyline in Rats. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14071457. [PMID: 35890351 PMCID: PMC9319520 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14071457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The aims of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of a nortriptyline (NT) formulation for transdermal administration and to assess the usefulness of an estimated kinetic parameter (kout) using the in vitro infinite dose technique to predict in vivo plasma levels when used in combination with pharmacokinetic parameters. To do so, a simple one-compartment model was used to describe the transport of a permeant across a membrane (skin). This model provides relatively simple expressions for the amount of permeant in the skin, the cumulative amount of permeant that crosses the skin, and the flux of permeant, for both the infinite and the finite dose regimens. Transdermal administration of the formulated NT gel to rats resulted in plasma levels of approximately 150 ng/mL between 8 and 30 h post-administration. These levels were higher than the minimum concentration of 40 ng/mL recommended for smoking cessation therapy and slightly higher than the upper limit of the therapeutic range for the treatment of depression in humans. The one-compartment model used to describe transport across the skin was connected to a two-compartment pharmacokinetic model used to predict NT plasma concentrations in rats using the kout determined in vitro and the values of other pharmacokinetic parameters obtained in vivo. The predicted concentrations were close to the observed plasma levels and the time profiles were similar for both types of data. These results show the usefulness of the kout parameter determined in vitro to predict plasma concentrations of drugs administered percutaneously.

Abstract
:
Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) are a group of the main category of antidepressant drugs,
which are commonly prescribed to treat major depressive disorder. Determination of TCA drugs is
very important for clinical and forensic toxicology, especially for therapeutic drug monitoring in various
biofluids. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a well-established technique for
this purpose. A lot of progress has been made in this field since the past 10 years. Novel extraction
techniques, and novel materials for sample preparation, novel columns and novel applications of analysis
of various biofluids for the determination of TCAs in combination with other drugs are some typical
examples. Moreover, advances have been performed in terms of Green Analytical Chemistry principles.
Herein, we aim to discuss the developed HPLC methods that were reported in the literature for
the time span of 2008-2018.

Abstract
A two-step sample preparation technique based on dispersive micro solid-phase extraction combined with coacervative microextraction is presented for preconcentration and determination of tricyclic antidepressant drugs in biological samples. An important feature of the method is the application of hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles, which in combination with coacervative microextraction method enables development of rapid and efficient extraction procedure in order to achievement of a high extraction efficiency. Simultaneous optimization by experimental design lead to improvement of method with low cost which supply useful information about interaction among variables. Under the optimized conditions, a linear range of 5-1000ngmL(-1) with detection limits from 0.51 to 1.4ngmL(-1) were obtained for target analytes. The method was successfully used for the determination of analytes in biological fluids (plasma and urine) with relative recoveries in the range of 89-105% (RSDs<3.5%).

Abstract
An overview of the state-of-the art in HPLC coupled with fluorescence detection is presented. Over the last 20 years, the increasing number of methodological papers on this topic (4082 between 1994 and 2004 and 7725 between 2004 and 2014) is testament to its utility in bioanalytical applications. Compared with conventional UV absorbance detection used in HPLC, fluorescence detection can greatly enhance the sensitivity leading to limits of detection similar to those obtained with mass spectrometry, offering researchers a sensitive, robust and relatively inexpensive instrumental method. This work will focus on the analysis of pharmaceutical compounds in different biological matrices, either naturally fluorescent or derivatized with a fluorescent agent, and some of them chiral. Therapeutic applications, sample preparation and derivatization, sensitivity for each example are described.

Abstract
Kinetic methods for accurate determination of nortriptyline hydrochloride have been described. The methods are based on the oxidation of nortriptyline hydrochloride with KMnO4 in acidic and basic media. In acidic medium, the decrease in absorbance at 525.5 nm and in basic medium, the increase in absorbance at 608.5 nm were measured as a function of time. The variables affecting the reactions were carefully investigated and optimised. Kinetic models such as initial rate, rate constant, variable time and fixed time were employed to construct the calibration curves. The initial rate and fixed time methods were selected for quantification of nortriptyline hydrochloride. In acidic medium, the calibration curves showed a linear response over the concentration range 10-50 μg mL(-1) for initial rate and 10-60 μg mL(-1) for fixed time method (2 min). In basic medium, the calibration graphs were linear over the concentration range 10-100 μg mL(-1) for initial rate and fixed time methods (4 min). In acidic medium, the limits of detection for initial rate and fixed time methods (2 min) were 1.02 and 3.26 μg mL(-1), respectively. In basic medium, the limits of detection were found to be 1.67 and 1.55 μg mL(-1) for initial rate and fixed time methods (4 min), respectively. The initial rate and fixed time methods have been successfully applied to the determination of nortriptyline hydrochloride in commercial dosage form. Statistical comparison of the results of the proposed methods with those of reference method exhibited excellent agreement and there is no significant difference between the compared methods in terms of accuracy and precision.

Abstract
One of the most frequent comorbidities of HIV infection is depression, with a lifetime prevalence of 22 to 45%. Therefore, it was decided to study a potential pharmacokinetic interaction between the nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor nevirapine (NVP) and the tricyclic antidepressant nortriptyline (NT). NVP and NT were administered to rats either orally, intraduodenally, or intravenously, and the changes in plasma levels and pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed. Experiments with rat and human hepatic microsomes were carried out to evaluate the inhibitory effects of NT on NVP metabolism. NVP plasma concentrations were significantly higher when this drug was coadministered with NT. The maximum plasma concentrations of NVP were increased 2 to 5 times and the total plasma clearance was decreased 7-fold in the presence of NT. However, statistically significant differences in the pharmacokinetic parameters of NT in the absence and presence of NVP were not found. In vitro studies with rat and human hepatic microsomes confirmed the inhibition of NVP hepatic metabolism by NT in a concentration-dependent way, with the inhibition being more intense in the case of rat microsomes. In conclusion, a pharmacokinetic interaction between NVP and NT was detected. This interaction was a consequence of the inhibition of hepatic metabolism of NVP by NT. In vivo human studies are required to evaluate the effects of this interaction on the pharmacokinetics of NVP before it can be taken into account for patients receiving NVP.

Abstract
A novel method for the simultaneous high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of nortriptyline hydrochloride and fluphenazine hydrochloride was developed and validated. Fluvastatin sodium was used as internal standard. The determination was performed on a Hypersil Gold C8 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm particle size) at 25 °C; the mobile phase, consisting of a mixture of formic acid (0.1 M, pH 2.16)-methanol (33:67, v/v), was delivered at a flow rate of 1.1 mL/min and detector wavelength at 251 nm. The retention time of nortriptyline, fluphenazine and fluvastatin was found to be 5.11, 8.05 and 11.38 min, respectively. Linearity ranges were 5.0–1350.0 and 10.0–1350.0 μg/mL with limit of detection values of 0.72 and 0.31 μg/mL, for nortriptyline and fluphenazine, respectively. Results of assay and recovery studies were statistically evaluated for its accuracy and precision. Correlation coefficients (r2) of the regression equations were greater than 0.999 in all cases. According to the validation results, the proposed method was found to be specific, accurate, precise and could be applied to the simultaneous quantitative analysis of nortriptyline and fluphenazine.

Abstract
An extended and comprehensive review is presented herein, focusing on sample preparation (pretreatment and extraction) and different analytical methods applied for the quantification of tricyclic antidepressants. These procedures are relevant tools in clinical and forensic toxicology. It is revealed that SPE, for sample preparation, and HPLC, using reversed-phase alkyl (C18) or cyanopropyl-bonded silica columns for the analytes separation, are effective and versatile methods for assay of tricyclic antidepressants. These methods enable achievable detection limits using UV/diode array detection, readily available in most laboratories, down to 1–8 ng ml-1, and using electron capture detection better than 1 ng ml-1, which is lower than that for nitrogen–phosphorus detector. MS interfaced with electrospray ionization offered similar sensitivity, whilst sonic spray ionization provided detection down to 0.03 ng ml-1. A brief discussion on chemical structures, metabolism and mechanism of action of this group of drugs is also presented.
