Abstract
Apert syndrome (AS) a type of acrocephalosyndactyly is a rare congenital disorder with autosomal dominant mode of transmission that consists of craniofacial synostosis, midfacial hypoplasia and bilateral limb syndactyly. Patients present in early childhood for multiple surgeries which make it imperative to know about various anaesthetic implications like difficult airway ventilation, airway hyper reactivity, associated congenital anomalies, increased airway secretions and deranged temperature thermoregulation associated with this syndrome. The patient should be thoroughly evaluated preoperatively and managed accordingly. We discuss the successful management of a three and a half years old male child two simple, rapid and selective colorimetric methods were developed for the determination of zolmitriptan (ZMT) in pure form and pharmaceutical preparations. These methods are based on the directly formation of charge-transfer complexes between ZMT and m-nitrophenol (MNP) in aqueous medium (ZMT: MNP, 1:1) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) in ethanol:water (80:20). The developed method involves formation of coloured complexes (1:1) of ZMT with MNP and DNP. The yellow formed complexes were quantitatively measured at 400 and 440 nm for ZMT-MNP and ZMT-DNP, respectively. Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration ranges of 3.0–260 μg/mL for MNP and 3.5–120 μg/mL for DNP. Limit of detection and limit of quantitation for MNP were calculated as 0.58 and 1.75 μg/mL, respectively, and for DNP were 0.32 and 0.97 μg/mL, respectively. The method was validated with respect to accuracy, robustness and selectivity. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the determination of ZMT in tablets.
