A simple and sensitive colorimetry method has been developed for estimation of amino acids glycine, alanine and isoleucine. Amino acids were derivatized with dichlone in presence of sodium bicarbonate. Amino acids showed maximum absorbance at 470 nm. The method was validated in terms of linearity (5-25 µg/ml for glycine, alanine and isoleucine), precision (intra-day variation 0.13-0.78, 0.22-1.29, 0.58-2.52% and inter-day variation 0.52-2.49, 0.43-3.12, 0.58-4.48% for glycine, alanine and isoleucine respectively), accuracy (91.43-98.86, 96.26-105.99 and 95.73-104.82 for glycine, alanine and isoleucine respectively), limit of detection (0.6, 1 and 1 µg/ml for glycine, alanine and isoleucine respectively) and limit of quantifi cation (5 µg/ml for glycine, alanine and isoleucine). The method was found to be simple and sensitive.
A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of lomefloxacin hydrochloride in its marketed formulations. The method is based on the reaction between the drug and the dichlone, in the presence of crotonaldehyde in dimethylsulfoxide, which produces a blue chromogen with absorption maximum at 645 nm. The good agreement with Beer's law was found in the concentration range of 5-100 µg/ml. The optimum reaction conditions and other analytical parameters are evaluated. Statistical comparison of the results with those of reported method shows good agreement, and indicated no significant difference in precision. The proposed method was found to be simple, accurate, and reproducible for the routine analysis of the drug in pharmaceutical dosage forms.
A simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for determination of betaxolol hydrochloride in bulk powder, and its pharmaceutical dosage forms. In the proposed method, betaxolol is oxidized with sodium periodate, to liberate formaldehyde, which is determined in situ, using acetyl acetone in the presence of ammonium acetate. A yellow coloured chromogen was obtained having absorption maxima at 405 nm. The method is found to be linear in the concentration range of 5-30 µg/ml, with a regression co-efficient of 0.9997. No significant difference was found between the proposed method and official method, when one tailed and two tailed t-test are applied. Various reaction parameters such as concentration of sodium hydroxide and sodium periodate, time required for oxidation, reagent concentration, and time for maximum colour intensity were optimized. The method was validated, and can be used successfully to assay betaxolol in bulk powder, and its pharmaceutical dosage forms viz. ophthalmic solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
