Green analytical chemistry is considered as a branch of the green chemistry and the main its goal is to achieve more green analysis in quality control laboratories through different direction, such as replacing or minimizing toxic reagents and modify or replace analytical techniques or methods with safer ones. We develop a simple, accurate and sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for determination of Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) using phenoxazine (PNZ) as green analytical reagent. The method is based on oxidation in aqueous mildly acidic medium primary amine group of SMX and coupling with PNZ in the prescient iron (III) to form a stable color having maximum absorption at 520 nm. Beer's law was obeyed in the range concentration of 0.1-6 mg/l and molar absorptivity 6.105 × 104 L.mol-1.cm-1. Sandell’s sensitivity 0.003 μg.cm-2 and detection limit (DL) 0.021 ppm. The direct determination of SMX in pure form and in its pharmaceutical formulations method successfully applied with very good recoveries 98.70%-101.5%. Green spectrophotometric analytical analyses become unique when the pharmaceutical drugs reagents combine with low concentration to determinate or estimate pharmaceutical drugs.

A highly sensitive, simple and rapid first derivative synchronous spectrofluorimetric method was utilized for the determination of daclatasvir dihydrochloride (DCV) in presence of its oxidative and photolytic degradation products. Where synchronous 1st derivative spectrofluorimetric approach was utilized to quantitatively determine DCV at 373 nm in presence of its oxidative degradation product and at 388 nm in presence of its photolytic degradation product that is obtained by exposing DCV to UV light at 312 nm, these were the zero-crossing wavelengths of degradation products without interference. The synchronous fluorescence was scanned at Δ λ of 80 nm. The method was found to be linear across the concentration range of 0.5-5.0 ng/mL with lower detection limit of 0.090 and lower quantification limit of 0.275 ng/mL (at 373 nm) and 0.268 ng/mL (at 388 nm). The adopted approach was successfully applied to commercial tablet and the results exhibited that the derivative synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy is a stabilityindicating method, suitable for routine use within a short analysis time. The proposed method was carefully validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity and robustness.

MS-153 is a novel pyrazoline compound that serves as a potential neuroprotective therapeutic agent during ischemia. Development of a convenient, quick, and robust analytical method to quantify MS-153 in biological samples is necessary to understand it’s in vivo pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics (PKPD) profiles. An isocratic reverse-phase HPLC method was developed and validated for quantification of MS-153. Chromatographic separation was achieved with a C18 column. Mobile phase consisting of water/acetonitrile (85/15, v/v) was pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The retention time of MS-153 (λmax=260 nm) was found to be 7.15 minutes. A calibration curve established over a range of 0.78125 ng to 500 ng showed a correlation coefficient of 1.0. The LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.164 and 0.496 ng, respectively. The accuracy, intra-day precision, and inter-day precision were found to be 99.97% to 101.66% (recovery), 0.21% to 0.55% (RSD), and 0.32% to 0.82% (RSD), respectively. MS-153 was analysed from biological samples by adding methanol to remove proteins in the biological matrix prior to HPLC analysis. The extraction efficiency was found to be 100%. The developed method was also used to analyse the stability of MS-153 in diluted blank rat plasma and brain homogenate samples. Results indicated that no significant degradation of MS-153 was observed at 37°C for 6 h.

Bioenhancers can be defined as chemical entities, which when mixed with drugs promote and augment their bioavailability without showing any synergistic effect with the drug. The factors like toxicity, cost, poor bioavailability and long term administration of drugs give rise to the need of bioenhancers which help overcome most of these problems. Piper species produce a pungent alkaloid named Piperine or 1-peperoyl piperidine. Piperine increases permeability at the site of absorption by modulating lipid environment and membrane dynamics. Piperine has a molecular structure that is suitable for enzyme inhibition. It augments the bioavailability of several drugs like carbamazepine, curcumin, ciprofloxacin, ampicillin, metronidazole, oxytetracycline and many others by inhibiting various metabolizing enzymes. Thus piperine, being an efficacious inhibitor of drug metabolism is a powerful enhancer of absorption. The following review explores the mechanism, metabolism inhibition, influence of structural changes on activity, and drugs bioenhanced by piperine. It provides an insight on the application of piperine as an effective bioenhancer and the superiority of a bioenhanced drug formulation over the one without a bioenhancer. This concept which is found to be beneficial, has its roots in Ayurveda-the traditional Indian system of medicine and has been applied to various drugs. It presents a fine instance of the advantage of amalgamating a traditional system with contemporary medicine.

The objective of present work is to develop and characterize dual release tablet formulation containing Metformin in extended release matrix form and Pioglitazone in immediate release form for the treatment of Diabetes mellitus. Different formulations containing Metformin HCl were manufactured using 32 factorial designs. Influences of hydrophobic carrier, hydrophilic polymer on drug release were studied. Immediate release layer of Pioglitazone was optimized using different disintegrants. All formulations were evaluated for percentage drug release and analyzed according to various release kinetic models. Optimization results indicated that release rate of Metformin is directly proportional to the levels of stearic acid (SA) and poly-ethylene-oxide (PEO). Kinetic analysis showed that formulation M6 was good releasing with f2 value of 81.08 and follows Higuchi and Peppas model with correlation coefficient value 0.9780 and 0.9910 respectively. Similarly, optimization study indicated that release of Pioglitazone is dependent on the level and type of disintegrant, formulation P5 shown highest f2 value of 84.08. Results confirmed that dual-release inlay-tablet formulation containing extended release of Metformin HCl and immediate release of Pioglitazone HCl could be developed for the treatment of Diabetes mellitus.

Voltametric degradation of phenol was carried out at microbial electrode. This electrode is based on graphite carbon and natural phosphate modified by bacteria inserted in the phosphate matrix, the whole is covered by a polymer developed in situ on the surface. This electrode, designated subsequently by bacteria-NP-CPE, Showed stable response and was characterized with voltametric methods, as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The experimental results revealed that the prepared electrode could be a feasible for degradation of hazardous phenol pollutants.
