A new complexes of the type ML2 and M′L [where M=Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) and M′= Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)]. L = 3-[(2-hydroxy-quinolin-3-ylmethylene)-amino]-2-phenyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one, (HQMAPQ) Schiff base have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, IR,1H NMR, UV-Visible and ESR data. The studies indicate the HQMAPQ acts as doubly monodentate bridge for metal(II) ions and form mononuclear complexes. The complexes Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes are found to be octahedral, where as Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes are four coordinated with tetrahedral geometry. The synthesized ligand and its metal(II) complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activity.

Simple, sensitive, rapid and cost effective extraction spectrophotometric methods are described for the assay of mebeverine hydrochloride (MBH) in bulk samples and pharmaceutical formulations. These two methods (Bromophenol blue and Erichrome Black‐T) are based on the formation of chloroform soluble ion‐pair complexes of MBH with Bromophenol blue (BPB) and with Erichrome Black‐T (EBT), to form yellow and pink colored chromogen in a Glycine‐HCl buffer of pH 2.4 (BPB) and in a KCl‐HCl buffer of pH 1.4 (EBT) with absorbance maximum at 416 nm and at 524 nm for BPB and EBT respectively. The calibration graph is found to linear over 0.2–20 μg/mL (BPB) and 0.2–20 μg/mL (EBT), with molar absorptivity values of 1.8295 × 104 1 moL−1 cm−1 and 1.5896 × 104 1 moL−1 cm−1, respectively. The LOD (Limit of Detection) were found to be 0.090 μg/mL and 0.084 μg/mL and LOQ (Limit of Quantification) were 0.2997 μg/mL and 0.2730 μg/mL for the BPB and EBT method, respectively. The results of analysis for the two methods have been validated statistically and by recovery studies. The results are compared with those obtained with reported method. The proposed methods are simple, sensitive, accurate and suitable for quality control applications.

A gas chromatographic method has been developed and validated for the determination of memantine hydrochloride (MMT) in pure and pharmaceutical preparations. The detection was carried out using flame ionization detector. Separation was achieved on a DB-624 fused silica packed capillary column (30 m x 0.320 mm x 1.8 μm). Nitrogen was used as a carrier gas at a flow rate of 40 mL/min. The column temperature was maintained at 300°C while the temperature of injection port and detector were maintained at 270° and 300°C, respectively. Gabapentin (GPN) was used as an internal standard. The procedure gave a linear response over the concentration range of 0.5-3.5 mg/mL with sufficient reproducibility. The method has been applied successfully for the determination of MMT in pure and pharmaceutical formulations. The excipients present in the formulations did not interfere with the assay procedure. The recovery values were found to be in the range of 99.85-100.1% with RSD values less than 1%. The results obtained from this method were compared with the reference method (HPTLC) reported in literature and no significant difference was found statistically

Two simple sensitive and reproducible spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the determination of metronidazole either in pure form or in their tablets. The proposed methods are based on the reduction of the nitro group to amino group of the drug. The reduction of metronidazole was carried out with zinc powder and 5 N hydrochloric acid at room temperature in methanol. The resulting amine was then subjected to a condensation reaction with aromatic aldehyde namely, vanillin and p-dimethyl amino benzaldehyde (PDAB) to yield yellow colored Schiff’s bases. The formed Schiff’s bases are quantified spectrophotometrically at their absorption maxima at 422 nm for vanillin and 494 nm for PDAB. Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration ranges 10 to 65 μg mL-1 and 5 to 40 μg mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.080 μg mL-1 and 0.090 μg mL-1 for vanillin and PDAB, respectively.The mean percentage recoveries were found to be 100.05 ± 0.37 and 99.01 ± 0.76 for the two methods respectively. The proposed methods were successfully applied to determine the metronidazole in their tablet formulations and the results compared favorably to that of reference methods. The proposed methods are recommended for quality control and routine analysis.
