Abstract
Aim
This study presents the development and validation of UV-spectrophotometry and RP-HPLC methods for the simultaneous quantification of Cefixime Trihydrate (CEFI) and Moxifloxacin Hydrochloride (MOXI) in pharmaceutical formulations.
Methodology
Two UV-spectrophotometric methods, including the absorbance ratio (Q-Absorption) and First Order Derivative Spectroscopy, were developed and validated for their linearity, precision, accuracy, and sensitivity. Additionally, a robust RP-HPLC method using a C18 column and optimized mobile phase was employed for efficient separation and simultaneous estimation of CEFI and MOXI. All methods were validated in accordance with ICH guidelines, with system suitability parameters confirming the reliability of the RP-HPLC method for routine analysis.
Results
The absorbance ratio and First Order Derivative methods demonstrated low %R.S.D values, high accuracy, and satisfactory sensitivity for both drugs. Similarly, the RP-HPLC method achieved high resolution, precision, and robustness. Statistical analysis through ANOVA revealed no significant differences between the methods in terms of accuracy and precision. The methods were applied to analyze marketed formulations, further confirming their applicability in routine quality control.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the validated methods provide accurate, precise, and sensitive techniques for the simultaneous estimation of CEFI and MOXI, making them suitable for pharmaceutical quality control and regulatory compliance.
期刊介绍:
The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field.
The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology.
The journal has been particularly active in:
-Analytical techniques for biological molecules-
Aptamer selection and utilization-
Biosensors-
Chromatography-
Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis-
Electrochemical methods-
Electrophoresis-
Enzyme characterization methods-
Immunological approaches-
Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids-
Metabolomics-
Nano level techniques-
Optical spectroscopy in all its forms.
The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
