“…Due to the minor structural differences amongst members of the same group, it is difficult to identify and to determine their respective degradation products (Joshi, 2002). Several analytical methods for quantitative determination of fluoroquinolones in pharmaceutical formulations are described in scientific literature, like capillary electrophoresis (Bhowal, Das, 1991;Flurer, 1997;Sun, Chen, 1997), UV spectrophotometry (Fratini, Schapoval, 1996;Chowdary, Rao, 1997), titrimetry (Belal, Al-Majed, Al-Obaid, 1999), and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (United States Pharmacopeia , 2004;British Pharmacopoeia, 1999;Mazuel, 1991), amongst others.…”
