UV-Spectrophotometry and RP-HPLC methods for the simultaneous estimation of acetaminophen: Validation, comparison and application for marketed tablet analysis in South West, Nigeria


ABSTRACT:

In the present study UV-Spectrophotometry and RP-HPLC methods were validated for the simultaneous analysis of acetaminophen in marketed tablets. The methods were validated in terms of linearity, sensitivity (Detection limit and Quantification limit) accuracy (% Recovery), precision (inter day, intraday and reproducibility). Both the methods were linear (r2 = 0.9993 for UV method and 0.9995 for HPLC) and accurate (% recovery was 99.48 % - 101.42 % for UV method and 101.85 % - 102.35 % for HPLC method). The detection limit and quantification limit were 0.192 µg/ml and 0.640 µg/ml for UV method and 0.0155 µg/ml and 0.0518 µg/ml. The method was also found precise (% RSD < 5%) and robust. Assay of five marketed brands of paracetamol were determined by both the methods and no statistically significant difference was noticed between the assay obtained from UV-Spectrophotometry and RPHPLC methods by paired t - test at 5 % significance level. The results obtained from the mean percentage analysis of paracetamol tablets (%) containing 500 mg of acetaminophen shows that the mean percentage determined in three replicate analyses is more than the claimed amount by the manufacturers. The two methods were found to be linear, quantitative, reproducible and could be used as a more convenient, efficient and economical method for the trace analysis of drug in raw material, tablets and in biological fluids.

Quantitative analysis of civetone and normuscone in secretion from Viverricula indica and in aromatic remedies by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Image
ABSTRACT : The quantitation of civetone and normuscone in small Indian civet (Viverricula indica Desmarest) secretion cultivated in Thailand was analyzed by gas chromatography- mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Three main chemical constituents of small Indian civet secretion were civetone, dihydrocivetone and normuscone. The contents of chemical constituents were different between male and female secretion. Civetone (23.6 ± 1.5 µg/mg of secretion) was a major chemical constituent in the female secretion while normuscone (52.1 ± 5.9 µg/mg of secretion) was a major in the male secretion. Both civetone and normuscone were found in civet fur but not in the feces. Aromatic remedies which claimed to use the small Indian civet secretion as an ingredient showed both civetone and normuscone. Linearity range of civetone was 0-50 µg/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.9717, and of normuscone was 0-80 µg/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.9965. The average recoveries were 97.3-98.0% in sec...

Antimicrobial activity of aqueous, ethanolic, methanolic, cyclohexanic extracts and essential oil of Nigella sativa seeds

Image
  ABSTRACT : Most of the bacterial pathogens are resistant to existing synthetic antibacterial agents demanding an increasing effort to seek effective phytochemicals as antibacterial agents against such pathogens. Nigella sativa L. (black cumin) seeds play an important role in folk medicine and some of its major constituents are reported to be pharmacologically active. In this present work, Nigellasativa seed extracts were obtained using maceration extraction by various solvents (water, ethanol, methanol, and cyclohexan). The antibacterial and antifungal effects of different extracts and essential oil of seeds were investigated by the agar diffusion method against two gram positive (Bacillus subtilis CIP52.62 ,Staphylococcus aureus CIP4.83) and three gram negative strains of bacteria (Escherichia coli CIP53.126 ,Pseudomonas aeroginosa CIP82.118, Salmonella abony CIP80.39) and one strain of fungi (Candida albicans CIP48.72). All the extracts and essential oil showed varying d...

Analysis of total phenols,total tannins and screening of phytocomponents in Indigofera aspalathoides (Shivanar Vembu) Vahl EX DC

Image
ABSTRACT: The plant Indigofera aspalathoides is popularly known as Sivanar vembu in Tamil belongs to the family fabaceae. The stem is traditionally used for various skin disorders and cancer. In the traditional medicinal system, the leaves, flowers and tender shoot are said to be cooling and demulcent, they are used in the form of decoction for leprosy and cancer affections. Qualitative and quantitative Phytocomponents test were screened in Indigofera aspalathoides. The total content of some important phytochemical constituents like phenols, tannins of Indigofera aspalathoides by studied using spectrophotometric methods. The results showed that the plant is rich in phenols (47.38±1.532) compare than Tannins (34.59±1.788).  Further details Home page URL : http://www.jocpr.com/ For more details PDF Link :  http://www.jocpr.com/articles/analysis-of-total-phenolstotal-tannins-and-screening-of-phytocomponents-in-indigofera-aspalathoides-shivanar-vembu-vahl.pdf
