Quantitative analysis of solid dosage forms of cefixime using Raman spectroscopy

Quantification of antibiotics is of significant importance because of their use in the prevention and treatment of different diseases. Cefixime (CEF) is a cephalosporin antibiotic that is used against bacterial infections. In the present study, Raman spectroscopy has been applied for the identification and quantification of Raman spectral features of cefixime with different concentrations of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and excipients in solid dosage forms. The changes in Raman spectral features of API and excipients in the solid dosage forms of cefixime were studied and Raman peaks were assigned based on the literature. Multivariate data analysis techniques including the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares Regression analysis (PLSR) have been performed for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of solid dosage forms of cefixime. PCA was found helpful in differentiating all the Raman spectral data associated with the different solid dosage forms of cefixime. The coefficient of determination (R²), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean relative error (MRE) for the calibration data-set were 0.99, 0.72, and 0.01 respectively and for the validation data-set were 0.99, 3.15, and 0.02 respectively, that shows the performance of the model. The root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) were found to be 0.56 mg and 3.13 mg respectively.

Molecular structure and vibrational assignment of 1-[N-(2-pyridyl) aminomethylidene}-2(1H)-Naphtalenone by density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations

The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies of 1-[N-(2-pyridyl)aminomethylidene}-2(1H)-Naphtalenone in the ground state have been calculated by using the Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The results of the optimized molecular structure are presented and compared with the experimental X-ray diffraction. The computed vibrational frequencies were used to determine the types of molecular motions associated with each of the experimental bands observed. In addition, calculated results are related to the linear correlation plot of computed data versus experimental geometric parameters and IR data. From the results it was concluded that the B3LYP method is superior to the HF method for the vibrational frequencies. Using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and Hartree-Fock (TD-HF) methods, electronic absorption spectra of the title compound have been predicted and a good agreement with the TD-DFT method and experimental ones is determined.

Structure and vibrational spectra of melaminium bis(trifluoroacetate) trihydrate: FT-IR, FT-Raman and quantum chemical calculations

Melaminium bis(trifluoroacetate) trihydrate (MTFA), an organic material has been synthesized and single crystals of MTFA have been grown by the slow solvent evaporation method at room temperature. X-ray powder diffraction analysis confirms that MTFA crystal belongs to the monoclinic system with space group P2/c. The molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies and intensity of the vibrational bands have been interpreted with the aid of structure optimization based on density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method with 6-311G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. The X-ray diffraction data have been compared with the data of optimized molecular structure. The theoretical results show that the crystal structure can be reproduced by optimized geometry and the vibrational frequencies show good agreement with the experimental values. The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shift of the molecule has been calculated by the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method and compared with experimental results. HOMO-LUMO, and other related molecular and electronic properties are calculated. The Mulliken and NBO charges have also been calculated and interpreted.

Structural, vibrational (FT-IR and FT-Raman) and UV-Vis spectral analysis of 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)urea by DFT method

The Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and FT-Raman spectra of 1-phenyl-3-(1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)urea (TDZ) have been recorded and analyzed. The molecular structure and vibrational spectra (harmonic and anharmonic) of TDZ were calculated by the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method using the B3LYP function with 6-31G(d,p) as the basis set. A detailed interpretation of the Infrared and Raman spectra of TDZ was reported based on Potential Energy Distribution (PED). The first order hyperpolarizability (β(0)) of this novel molecular system and related properties (β, α(0) and Δα) were calculated using HF/6-31G(d,p) method on the finite-field approach. Stability of the molecule arising from hyperconjugative interactions and charge delocalization have been analyzed using Natural Bond Orbital analysis. The results show that charge in electron density in the σ(∗) and π(∗) antibonding orbitals and second order delocalization energies E(2) confirm the occurrence of Intramolecular Charge Transfer (ICT) within the molecule. UV-Vis spectrum of the title molecule was recorded and the electronic properties such as HOMO and LUMO energies were determined by Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory approach.

Crystal structure, spectroscopic investigations and density functional studies of 4-(4-methoxyphenethyl)-5-benzyl-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-one monohydrate

The triazol compound 4-(4-methoxyphenethyl)-5-benzyl-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-one monohydrate (I) has been synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, IR, and X-ray single-crystal determination. The molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies and gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shift values of (I) in the ground state have been calculated using the density functional method (B3LYP) with the 6-31G(d) basis set. The calculated results show that the optimized geometry can well reproduce the crystal structure, and the theoretical vibrational frequencies and chemical shift values show good agreement with experimental values. The energetic behavior of (I) in solvent media was examined using the B3LYP method with the 6-31G(d) basis set by applying the Onsager and the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The predicted non-linear optical properties of (I) are greater than ones of urea. In addition, DFT calculations of molecular electrostatic potentials, frontier molecular orbitals and thermodynamic properties of (I) were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory.
