ABSTRACT:

Simple, sensitive, accurate and precise method for quantitative determination of each of five drugs viz., Esomeprazole (ESO), Ciprofloxacin (CIP), Lomefloxacin (LOM), Sumatriptan, (SUM), Domperidone (DOM) have been developed and validated. The method is based on oxidation of drug by Chloramine-T (excess) and subsequent determination of unreacted Chloramine-T using methyl orange as analytical tool which maximally absorbs at 510nm. Beer’s law is obeyed in the concentration range of  1.5-4.5, 2.0-14, 2.5-17.5, 2.0-16, 1.5-10.5 µg ml-1 for ESO, CIP, LOM, SUM and DOM respectively. Six replicates were performed to assess the precision and accuracy is determined by analyzing samples of known concentration. % recovery and % RSD were calculated which showed excellent accuracy. The spectral parameters like limits of Beer’s law, sandal sensitivity, molar absorptivity, slope, intercept and regression equation have been evaluated. The validation parameters like   LOD, LOQ together with statistical parameters like      t-test and F-test have also been carried out.

 

KEYWORDS: Spectrophotometry, Chloramine-T, methyl orange, quantitation, validation.

 

 


INTRODUCTION:

Esomeprazole (ESO) (Fig.1a), chemically known as (S)-5-Methoxy-2-[(4-methoxy-3, 5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl) methylsulfinyl]-3H-benzoimidazole. It is a proton pump inhibitor1 which reduces stomach acid secretion through inhibition of the H+/K+ ATP ase in the parietal cells of the stomach. Because of its physiological significance the drug has been quantitatively analysed by different methods. A few analytical methods like HPLC2-4 LC-MS 5,6   and UV 7, 8 spectrophotometry developed for the estimation of ESO are mention worthy.

 

Ciprofloxacin (CIP) (Fig.1b), is chemically known as 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(piperazin-1-yl)-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid which is an antibiotic9 useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. An extensive literature survey revealed that spectrophotometry10-15, HPLC16-19, Electrophoresis20, LC21, and Spectrofluorimetry22 have been applied for the analysis of CIP in bulk and in formulations.

 

Lomefloxacin (LOM) (Fig.1c) is chemically known as (RS)-1-Ethyl-6, 8-difluoro-7-(3-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-4-oxo-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid.

 

It is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections23 including bronchitis and urinary tract infections. It is also used to prevent urinary tract infections prior to surgery. Analytical methods available for the determination of lomefloxacin include Spectrophotometry24-27, HPLC28-31, LC32, Colorimetry33.

 

Sumatriptan (SUM) (Fig.1d) is chemically known as 1-[3-(2-Dimethylaminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-yl]-N-methyl-methanesulfonamide It is a synthetic drug belonging to the triptan class, used for the treatment of migraine headaches34. Literature review reveals that a few methods have been published for analysis of Sumatriptan succinate in the bulk form and in pharmaceutical preparations. Methods available include HPLC35-39, Colorimetry40, Spectrophotometry41 and UPLC42-44.

 

Domperidone (DOM) (Fig. 1e) is chemically known as 5-chloro-1-(1-[3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)propyl]piperidin-4-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one. It is given in order to relieve nausea and vomiting45. Several techniques have been reported in the literature for the determination of DOM in pharmaceuticals and in biological samples include HPLC46-50, LC-MS51 and Cyclic Voltametry52 in pharmaceuticals and in biological samples.

 

 

 

Thorough survey of literature reveal that Chloramine-T and Methyl orange couple offers simple, accurate, precise method for quantification of drugs. To the best of our knowledge the above analytical pair of reagents have not been applied for the drugs mentioned above. This prompted the author to carry out the pharmaceutical analysis of the drugs.

 

Materials and Methods:

Esomeprazole, Ciprofloxacin, Lomefloxacin, Sumatriptan succinate and Domeperidone drug samples were procured from Hetero labs limited, Hyderabad as gift samples. The reagents Chloramine-T, methyl orange (AR grade) and   HCl supplied by SD Fine chemicals Ltd. Mumbai, are used without any further purification.

 

The spectra of the study have been recorded on Shimadzu 140 double beam spectrophotometer, systronics double beam spectrophotometer-117, and also on ELICO 159 UV-VIS single beam spectrophotometer using quartz cells of 10pathlength.

 

A stock solution of each drug is prepared in doubly distilled water by dissolving 25mg ofdrugin25mlofwaterand the stock is diluted to the required concentrations. A 0.01 M of Chloramine-T and  5x10 -4 M Methyl orange are prepared in distilled water and 0.5M  HCl is prepared from stock. The concentrations of the Chloramine-T and Methyl Orange are set such that 1ml of Chloramine-T in the presence of 1ml of acid exactly neutralize 1ml of Methyl Orange and shows zero absorbance.

Result and Discussion:

Procedure for Calibration:

Different aliquots of drug solution (1-7 ml) were taken into a 10ml standard flask to which 1ml of acid and 1ml of Chloramine-T were added. The contents were occasionally shaken for 15 minutes and finally 1ml of methyl orange is added, the volume is made up to mark using distilled water. Absorbance was measured at 510nm against the blank prepared similarly. The same procedure of analysis is followed either for assay of pure drug or for dosage form. The calibration graphs (Fig. 2) are linear over the concentration ranges are within the permissible range. The optical characteristics and statistical data for the regression equation of the proposed methods are presented in      (Table 1.)

 

Six replicate experiments performed and the relative response i.e, absorbance / concentration (µg mL-1) was calculated. The points falling between 95% and 105% of average only are considered for the construction of calibration. The standard deviation of six residual intercepts of the plots is used for calculating LOD and LOQ.

 

Procedure for the assay of pure drug:

Four different solutions of pure drug in the range of calibration curve were selected and the recovery experiments were performed. The recoveries and their relative standard deviations are tabulated in (Table. 2)

Method validation:

Each method developed for quantification of drugs has been validated in terms of precision, accuracy, limit of detection, limit of quantification linearity, selectivity and ruggedness. The Beer’s law limits, slope, intercept, correlation coefficient, sandell’s sensitivity and regression equation for each drug are tabulated in (Table.1). To assess the precision each experiment was repeated at least 5 times and accuracy is estimated in terms of   % recovery and % RSD. Excellent % recovery and % RSD being less than 2 for each drug demonstrates accuracy and precision of the methods. Further t-test and F-test values are less than their permissible range indicating high accuracy and precision of the methods.

 

Analysis of pharmaceuticals:

Esomeprazole

Twenty capsules of Nexpro were weighed accurately and crushed to fine powder. Quantity of tablet powder equivalent to 50mg of analyte was weighed and transferred to 100ml volumetric flask and dissolved in 40 ml of distilled water by using 0.2M HCl. This solution was then filtered through Whatmann filter paper No.41. The volume was  made up to the mark of 100ml volumetric flask with distilled water.

 

Ciprofloxacin

Twenty tablets of ciproXR were finely grinded and mixed. An accurately weighed 50 mg of ciprofloxacin was taken into a 100 ml volumetric flask, sonicated and remaining volume is made up with distilled water.

 

Lomefloxacin

Ten tablets of Lomebact were weighed accurately and powdered. The powder equivalent to 50 mg was transferred into a 100 ml volumetric flask, containing a mixture of distilled water (`10.0 ml) and HCl (2.0 ml). The flask was shaken for 5 mints and the solution was filtered using Whatman No.41 filter paper and further diluted with water to obtain working standard solution.

Sumatriptan

Twenty tablets of parpex-1 were weighed and ground into a fine powder. An amount of tablet powder equivalent to 50 mg of SUM was weighed and transferred into 100 ml beaker containing 50 ml of 0.2 M HCl. After shaking the contents for 20 mins, filtered through Whatmann No. 41 filter paper into a clean 100 ml volumetric flask and the volume was brought up to the mark with the distilled water.

 

Domeperidone

Twenty tablets of domperidon were finely grounded and mixed. An accurately weighed 50 mg of DOM was transferred into a100 ml volumetric flask and dissolved in HCl. Then the solution is was filtered using Whatmann No.41 filter paper and further diluted with distilled water and made volume up to the mark.

 

To test the applicability of the method developed, pharmaceutical tablet solutions containing drug in the Beer’s Law limit were chosen. For this study 2.0,4.0 ,6.0 and 8.0 µg mL-1  of ESO ; 3.0, 6.0, 9.0 and 12.0  µg mL-1  of CIP; 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 µg mL-1 of LOM; 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 µg mL-1 of SUM  and 1.5, 3.0, 5.0 and 7.0 µg mL-1  of DOM; were chosen (Table.3)

 

Factors affecting the absorbance

Effect of acid concentration.

HCl was the medium of choice for estimation of drugs Chloramine-T and Methyl Orange. The absorbance of Methyl orange was not affected in 0.125-1.25 M HCl concentration. A 0.5 M HCl concentration was found optimum for the estimation of  drugs in a reasonable time of 5-10 mins and hence the same concentration was employed for the determination of drugs by using  Chloramine-T and Methyl Orange.
