Gum arabic is a complex, loose aggregate of sugars and hemicelluloses composed of Arabic acid nucleus connected with calcium, magnesium, potassium and sugars Arabinose, Galactose, and Rhamnose. It is found in mechanically ground or spray dried forms. The solubility varies between 2 h in the raw gum form and 20 min in spray dried form. This study tended to enhance the solubility by producing an instant soluble granulated form. The study was performed using atomized fluid bed drier. 50 kg of raw gum, subjected first to mechanical comminuting into powder, then treated with water by spraying at rate of 200 mL/min for 90 min. The inlet temperature was 70°C, and the outlet temperature was 40°C. The cabinet temperature was 40°C. Finally after water treatment process, the powder resized through Mesh size of 40 μm and the microbial test was done for the finished product. The solubility of the granulated instant soluble gum in room temperature was found to be less than 5 min compared to the spray dried form which is 20-30 min and 2 h for mechanical ground gum. The volume increased to three times compare to the mechanical form. It was concluded that granulation of gum under water spray significantly enhances the solubility and hence it is beneficial for uses in pharmaceutical technology. This study tended to produce a form of granulated gum which is easily soluble compared to the mechanically ground and spray dried forms.

Three sensitive and validated chromatographic methods were developed for determination of Agomelatine (AGO) in the presence of its degradation products in drug substance and drug product. The first and second methods were normal thin layer chromatographic (NP-TLC) and reversed phase thin layer chromatographic (RP-TLC) methods. Mobile phase consisting of ethyl acetate-ammonia (33%)-methanol (8.5:0.5:1, v/v/v) was used for NP-TLC while for RP-TLC using 0.1% triethylamine (TEA): acetonitrile (60:40 v/v) at pH=2. The chromatograms were scanned at 230 and 280 nm and determined in the range of 0.1-4 and 0.3-4 μg/spot with mean percentage recovery of 99.89 ± 1.141 and 100.01 ± 1.062 for NP-TLC and RP-TLC respectively. The third method was Micellar Liquid Chromatographic (MLC) method using C18 column and a mobile phase consisting of 0.1 M Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS), 15% butan-1-ol, 0.2% TEA in water adjusted to pH=3. The UV detection was achieved at 230 nm and determined in the range of 0.5-5 μg/mL with mean percentage recovery of 100.13 ± 0.970. The proposed methods were successfully applied as stability indicating methods under different stressed conditions according to the International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The methods showed good selectivity, repeatability, linearity and sensitivity according to the evaluation of the validation parameters.

The preferential solvation of many drugs in binary solvent mixtures, as derived by means of the quasi-lattice quasi-chemical and the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integrals methods from solubility and other thermodynamic data, is reviewed. The preferences were described in terms of the local mole fractions of the solvent components in the solvation sphere of the drug molecule and their differences with respect to these mole fractions in the bulk: the preferential solvation parameters. When data were available at several temperatures these preferences were described in terms of the enthalpic and entropic contributions.

A new simple, fast, accurate, precise and reproducible UPLC method was developed for the simultaneous estimation of ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol. Reversed-phase Shim-pack XR-ODS (100 × 3.0 mm, 1.7 μm) column was used to resolve the drugs utilizing a mixture of CH3OH and 5 mM NaH2PO4 as mobile phase at gradient program equilibrated initially by 56:44 (v/v). The mobile phase was pumped at a flow rate of 0.20 mL min-1 with detection at 280 nm. 10 μL volume of sample was injected by the auto sampler. Separation was completed within 3.82 ± 0.03 minutes. For both drugs linear was obtained over a studied concentration range of 10 μg mL-1 with correlation coefficient 0.999. Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) for intra and inter day precision was <1.5% indicating the method’s good reproducibility. The mean recovery of the drug determination was 99.39%. LOD was found to be 0.025, 0.020 μg mL-1 for ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol, respectively. The proposed method might be applied for routine analysis of both drugs in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations. Furthermore, no experimental evidences in favour of adverse pharmaceutical interaction were revealed in their concomitant use.

A simple and sensitive spectrofluorimetric method has been developed for the determination of some selected sulfhydryl–containing drugs namely Acetylcysteine (ACS), Captopril (CAP) and Mesna (MSN). The method is based on the interaction of the drugs with potassium (5-sulfoxino) palladium II in alkaline medium in presence of magnesium ions, where the sulfhydryl group combines with palladium from the non-fluorescent potassium bis (5-sulfoxino) palladium II. The resulting 8-hydroxy-5-quinoline sulfonic acid coordinates with magnesium to form the fluorescent chelate that is a measure of the amount of sulfhydrl containing drug analyzed. The fluorescence intensity was measured at an emission wavelength of 485 nm, by excitation at 345 nm. All the experimental parameters affecting the reaction were studied and optimized. The proposed method was applicable over the concentration range of 0.04-0.44 μg/mL for the three drugs and was applied for their determination in bulk form and in pharmaceutical preparations without interference from common excipients. The assay results were statistically compared with those obtained from previously reported methods where no significant difference was found between them. The selectivity and the stability-indicating aspect of the proposed method were confirmed by preparing the disulphides of the studied drugs and applying the reaction to the parent drugs in presence of their disulphides where no interference was detected from these related substances. By virtue of its high sensitivity, the proposed method was also extended to analyze the drugs in spiked human plasma and urine.

Sutures are biomaterials regarded as a major cause of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs). Present work aims at a novel strategy to reduce nosocomial infections by coating sutures with antimicrobial drugs. Gold Nanoparticles (GNPs) coated with antimicrobial drugs are well known for their antimicrobial activity. Hence, synthesis of gold nanoparticles by chemical reduction method followed by preparation of curcumin pegylated GNPs (CPGNPs) were carried out. The formation of the gold nanoparticles, thiolated gold nanoparticles (PGNPs) and CPGNPs was characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. The average particle size and polydispersity index of drug conjugated gold NPs were found to be 147.8 nm ± 2.03 nm and 0.286 respectively. The plain sutures (purchased from local market) were coated with curcumin pegylated GNPs by dipping technique and characterized by SEM to ensure the coating of curcumin conjugated gold nanoparticles on plain sutures. The CPGNPs coated sutures were evaluated for mechanical properties, drug release studies, biocompatibility, haemo-compatibility, sensitization and for in vivo studies. Histopathology was also done to study the effect of coated sutures on inflammation and cell repair at the site of surgery. The optimized coated sutures exhibited sustained drug release for 4 days and the antibacterial activity of the coated sutures was noticed in comparison to the uncoated sutures. From in vivo studies, it was clearly evident that coated sutures healed the tissue much faster than the uncoated sutures and less inflammation was observed. The same was concluded by the histopathology reports. The successful designing and development of drug-coated biodegradable sutures highlight the applicability of novel technique of coating for effective reduction of SSIs during the hospital stay.

Five simple and sensitive methods were developed for the determination of cyclobenzapirine hcl (CB) in presence of its degradation product anthraquinone (AQ). Method A dual wavelength spectrophotometry (DW); where two wavelengths were selected for the drug 283 and 306 nm in such a way that the difference in absorbance was zero for its degradation. Method B ratio difference spectrophotometry (RD) was depended on measuring the ratio difference between 290 and 305 nm. Method C was depended on measuring the peak amplitude of the first derivative of the ratio spectra (1DD) at 282 and 306 nm. Method D Isoabsorptive Point (ISO) at 280 nm Coupled with Second Derivative (2D). Method E depending on spectrofluorimetric determination of cyclobenzapirine HCl through quenching of uranyl acetate with ʎexi 228 nm and ʎem at 458 nm. Linearties were obtained in concentration range 5 μg/ml – 30 μg/ml in case of methods A, B, C and D, while in case of methods E linearity was obtained in concentration range of 1 μg/ml –10 μg/ml. The five methods were found to be specific for CB in presence of different concentration % of its degradation product. The five proposed methods were successfully applied for the determination of CB in Multirelax tablets. Statistical comparison between the results obtained by the proposed methods and that obtained by the official one for the determination of the drug was done, founding that there were no significant differences between them.

Method E depending on spectrofluorimetric determination of cyclobenzapirine HCl through quenching of uranyl acetate with ʎexi 228 nm and ʎem at 458 nm. Linearties were obtained in concentration range 5 μg/ml – 30 μg/ml in case of methods A, B, C and D, while in case of methods E linearity was obtained in concentration range of 1 μg/ml –10 μg/ml. The five methods were found to be specific for CB in presence of different concentration % of its degradation product. The five proposed methods were successfully applied for the determination of CB in Multirelax tablets. Statistical comparison between the results obtained by the proposed methods and that obtained by the official one for the determination of the drug was done, founding that there were no significant differences between them.","PeriodicalId":19833,"journal":{"name":"Pharmaceutica Analytica Acta","volume":"116 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90990814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New isocratic stability-indicating reversed phase UPLC method was developed for determination of two antidepressant drugs dapoxetine hydrochloride (DAP) and fluoxetine hydrochloride (FLX) in the presence of their hydrolytic degradation products namely; (+)-N, N-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-propanolamine (DAP Deg I), N-methyl- 3-hydroxy-3-phenyl propyl amine (FLX DegI), α, α, α-Trifluorotoluene (FLX Deg II) and application in their pharmaceutical dosage forms. UPLC method using small sub-1.8 μm particle was developed for separation and determination of the selected drugs using Agilent Eclipse XDB C18 (50 mm x 2.1 mm i.d., 1.8 μm) column. Upon using UPLC, the run time could be reduced 5-fold and the solvents consumption decreased 10 tims. Quantification is achieved by detection wavelength at 210 nm, based on peak area. The linear ranges were 0.05-100 μg/mL and 0.30-100 μg/mL with LOD of 0.01 and 0.09 μg mL-1 and mean recoveries of 99.41 ± 1.02 and 100.05 ± 0.89 for DAPand FLX, respectively, the developed method was successfully applied to analysis of DAP and FLX in bulk powder, laboratory-prepared mixtures containing different percentages of degradation products and pharmaceutical dosage forms. UPLC method was also directed to investigate the degradation kinetic processes of both drugs. It was followed pseudo-first order reactions with a degradation reaction rate constant (k) of 0.0575 (h-1) and 0.965 (h-1) and half-life (t1/2) of 12.04 and 0.75 (h) for DAP and FLX, respectively. The degradation rate (k) obeyed Arrhenius equation and the activation energies were calculated. The degradation products (I-III) were separated by UPLC and subjected to MS spectrometry to confirm their structures and elucidate degradation pathway. The developed methods were validated as per ICH guidelines.

The collinear dual beam thermal lens spectrometric (TLS) detection in batch mode (BM), as well as combined with the flow injection analysis (FIA), was applied to determine the colloidal silver in personal care products available in the public pharmacies and declared by producers to contain nanosilver at the level of 5-30 μg ml-1. It was found, that the examined samples contain mainly ionic silver (99% or more), whereas the colloidal form of silver is at the level of less than 1 μg ml-1. The TLS methods were confirmed to be fast, precise, highly accurate and highly sensitive with limits of quantitation of 0.30 ng ml-1 and 1.50 ng ml-1 and relative standard deviations not higher than 1.2% and 6.0% for BM- and FIA-TLS configuration, respectively. The developed TLS methods have nearly 60 times lower LOQ values concerning the colloidal silver determination than the classical spectrophotometric method. To verify the obtained results of the real sample analysis the total amount of ionic silver was determined by the use of ICP-OES technique.
