A simple, accurate, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of tramadol hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations. The method was based on the formation of chloroform extractable complex of tramadol hydrochloride with wool fast blue, which shows absorbance maxima at 590 nm against the reagent blank treated similarly. The method obeys Beer's law in the concentration ranges of 50-250 µg/mL. Validation studies are statistically significant as all the statistical parameters are within the acceptance range (% RSD< 2.0 and S.D. < 2.0) for both accuracy and precision study. High recovery and low % RSD reveals the reliability of the method for quantitative study of the proposed method in tablet formulation. The proposed method is simple, rapid accurate, precise, reproducible and economic and can be used for routine quantitative analysis of tramadol hydrochloride in pure and tablet dosage form.
A simple ultra performance liquid chromatographic (UPLC) method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of Metoprolol (MT), Atorvastatin (AT) and Ramipril (RM) from capsule dosage form. The method was developed using Zorbax® XDB-C18 (4.6 mm × 50 mm, 1.8 μm) column with a mobile phase consisting of 0.06% ortho phosphoric acid in Milli Q® water having an ion pair reagent, 0.0045 M Sodium lauryl sulphate as buffer, at ratio of buffer: Acetonitrile (50:50 v/v), at 55°C column temperature with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. Detection was carried out with ultra-violet detection at 210 nm for RM, MT and AT respectively. The retention times were about 1.3, 2.1 and 2.6 min for MT, AT and RM respectively, the method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, robustness and ruggedness. The % mean recoveries are 101.9, 102.1 and 101.4 for MT, AT and RM respectively. The method was found to be rugged and robust and can be successfully used to determine the three drugs and its combinations.
A simple, sensitive and economical spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of zidovudine in commercial dosage forms. The method was based on the formation of chloroform extractable complex of zidovudine with wool fast blue. The absorbance of the extractable ion pair complex is measured at the wavelength of maximum absorbance 590 nm against the reagent blank treated similarly. Statistical analysis proves that the proposed methods are reproducible and selective for the estimation of zidovudine in bulk drug and in its tablet dosage form.
