Simple and sensitive spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods are described for analysis of acyclovir and acebutolol hydrochloride. The proposed methods are based on oxidation of the selected drugs with cerium(IV) ion in acidic medium with subsequent measurement of either the decrease in absorbance at 320nm or the fluorescence intensity of the produced cerous(III) ion at 361-363nm (excitation at 250nm). Beer's law obeyed from 2 to 8, 0.25 to 2.5microgcm-1 acyclovir, 1 to 7 and 0.25 to 2.5microgml-1 acebutolol hydrochloride, using the spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric method, respectively. The proposed method were successfully applied for determination of the selected drugs in their pharmaceutical preparations with good recoveries.
Ombitasvir, ritonavir and paritaprevir are three recently discovered directly acting antiviral drugs (DAADs) used in combined single dose tablet dosage form for treatment of hepatitis-C viral infections (HCV). The methods of analysis followed by quality control and research laboratories are required to be economic and fast; however, these methods can also produce huge amounts of chemical waste. In this study two fast, economic and green HPLC and HPTLC methods were validated for the simultaneous determination of the three drugs. For HPLC, isocratic elution used a mixture of micellar aqueous mobile phase consisting of (0.15 M sodium lauryl sulfate and 0.01 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate, pH 6.2) and ethanol (56:44). Elution was done on RP-C18 Kinetix® column (5 μm, 150 mm × 4.6 mm ID) at flow 1 mL min

and 254 nm UV-detector. HPTLC separations were performed on Merck® (20 cm × 10 cm) aluminum HPTLC plates coated with silica gel 60F254 using a mobile phase, Methylene chloride: methanol: ethyl acetate: ammonia (25%), (5:1:3:1, v/v/v/v) respectively. The calibration curves were linear across ranges of 3–100 μg mL

and 0.1–2 μg/spot for both HPLC and HPTLC methods, respectively. The two methods were applied successfully for the determination of the three drugs under study in their combined tablets dosage forms.
By 2025, it's estimated that 322 million males worldwide will suffer from sexual disorders. This study provides two simple green tools for analysis of some male sexual enhancers using HPLC on core–shell particles and monolithic RP-columns.
The combination of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir or sofosbuvir and ledipasvir is now widely used as an ideal treatment for hepatitis C virus infection. For this purpose, a simple, sensitive, accurate, economic, and precise high-performance thin-layer chromatography was developed and validated for the determination of sofosbuvir, daclatasvir, and ledipasvir in their pure form as well as their different pharmaceutical products. The method used Merck high-performance thin-layer chromatography aluminum plates precoated with silica gel 60 F254 as a stationary phase and mobile phase consisting of methylene chloride/methanol/ethyl acetate/ammonia (25%) (6:1:4:1, v/v/v/v). This system was found to give compact symmetric peaks of sofosbuvir, daclatasvir, and ledipasvir with retardation factors of 0.27 ± 0.01, 0.50 ± 0.007, and 0.68 ± 0.008, respectively. The densitometric scanner was set at 275 nm using a deuterium lamp. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 100-3000 ng/spot for sofosbuvir, and daclatasvir, and range of 50-3000 ng/spot for ledipasvir. The detection limits were 22.5, 31.90, and 15.80 for sofosbuvir, daclatasvir, and ledipasvir. The quantitation limits were 67.50, 95.60, and 47.50 for sofosbuvir, daclatasvir, and ledipasvir. The proposed method was validated according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines and the results were acceptable.
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.
