“…Several analytical techniques have been reported for determination of SMX in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids. Most of these techniques employed separation methods, such as solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography using an on line clean-up column coupled with amperometric detection employing a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode (Andrade et al, 2009), HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) (Mistri et al, 2010) or capillary electrophoresis (Qing-Cui et al, 2008). Other techniques such as differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) (Joseph and Kumar, 2010), square wave voltammetry (SWV) (Souza et al, 2008), micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (Injac et al, 2008), partial least square regression method (Givianrad et al, 2013), flow injection system /HPLC (Sabriye et al, 2011) and ratio derivative spectrophotometry (Hajian et al, 2010) have been also used for determination of SMX.…”
