Development and Validation of an HPLC-UV Method for the Dissolution Studies of 3D-Printed Paracetamol Formulations in Milk-Containing Simulated Gastrointestinal Media.

Herein, a simple and rapid HPLC method for the determination of paracetamol milk-containing biorelevant media is proposed. The separation of the analyte from the milk-containing biorelevant media was accomplished isocratically using a mobile phase containing 25 mM phosphate buffer (pH = 3.0) and methanol, 80:20, v/v at a flow rate of 1 mL min−1. Following a protein precipitation-based sample clean-up, a thorough investigation of the effect of the precipitation reagent (methanol, acetonitrile, 10% v/v trifluoroacetic acid solution) on the analyte recovery was performed. The matrix effect was assessed in each biorelevant medium by comparing the slopes of the calibration curves of aqueous and matrix-matched calibration curves. The method was comprehensively validated using the accuracy profiles. The β-expectation tolerance intervals did not exceed the acceptance criteria of ±15%, meaning that 95% of future results will be included in the defined bias limits. The relative bias ranged between −4.5 and +3.9% for all analytes, while the RSD values for repeatability and intermediate precision were less than 2.7% and 3.0%, respectively. The achieved limit of detection (LOD) was 0.02 μg mL−1 and the lower limits of quantitation (LLOQ) were established as 10 μg mL−1, which corresponded to 2% of the highest expected concentration of paracetamol. The proposed scheme was utilized for the determination of paracetamol in dissolution studies of its 3D-printed formulation in milk-containing biorelevant media.

Implementation of different separation techniques for resolving ternary mixture of Paracetamol, Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride and Chlorpheniramine maleate with further quantification

Abstract Due to the wide applicability of separation techniques that rely on the property of differential migration in pharmaceutical formulations analysis, different analytical strategies have been proposed to resolve mixtures of multi-components pharmaceuticals. Three separation methods were developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of Paracetamol (PAR), Pseudoephedrine HCl (PSE) and Chlorpheniramine maleate (CHP). The first method is a thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) separation, followed by densitometric measurement. The separation was carried out on aluminium sheet of silica gel 60 F254 using ethanol:chloroform:ammonia (1:7:0.4, by volume) as the mobile phase. Determination of PAR, PSE and CHP was successfully applied over the concentration ranges of 3–25 µg/band, 0.5–10 µg/band and 0.1–6 µg/band, respectively. The second method is HPLC separation that was achieved on C18 column using the mobile phase acetonitrile:phosphate buffer pH 5 (10:90, v/v) at a flow rate 1 mL min−1. PAR, PSE and CHP were determined by HPLC in concentration ranges of 5–400 μg mL−1, 2–40 μg mL−1 and 0.5–16 μg mL−1, respectively. The third method is a capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation. The electrophoretic separation was achieved using 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.5) at 20 kV. The linearity was reached over concentration ranges of 30–250 μg mL−1, 5–50 μg mL−1 and 0.8–20 μg mL−1 for PAR, PSE and CHP, respectively. The developed methods were validated with respect to linearity, precision, accuracy and system suitability. The proposed methods were successfully applied for bulk powder and dosage form analysis with RSD of precision <2%. Moreover, statistical comparison with the official methods confirms the methods' validity.

H-point standard addition method for simultaneous determination of phenylephrine hydrochloride, chlorpheniramine maleate, and paracetamol as a ternary mixture in pharmaceutical formulations

The simultaneous analysis of a ternary mixture containing paracetamol (PAR), phenylephrine hydrochloride (PHE), and chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) was conducted without prior separation and using an advanced spectrophotometric method. The H-point standard addition and absorbance correction methods were selected to determine the compounds, which are highly overlapped spectra in pharmaceutical formulations. The method is based on the use of three different wavelengths of 296, 272, and 227 nm for the ternary mixture. The concentration of PAR was calculated directly at 296 nm because no interferences existed. Absorbance correction method was used to remove the role of PAR at 272 and 227 nm. The concentrations of the PHE and CPM compounds in the mixture were determined by using the H-point standard addition method. The results showed that simultaneous determination of PAR, PHE, and CPM could be conducted within the range of 1–33 μg/mL, 1–23 μg/mL, and 1–36 μg/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviations for the simultaneous determination of PHE, CPM, and PAR were 0.617, 2.76, and 1.71, respectively. The proposed method was implemented successfully for the simultaneous determination of PAR, PHE, and CPM in pharmaceutical formulations.

Natural deep eutectic solvent: A novelty alternative as multi-walled carbon nanotubes dispersing agent for the determination of paracetamol in urine.

This work reports for the first time the analytical performance of glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) modified with a dispersion of multi-wall carboxylated carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) using a mixture of a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES - LGH/lactic acid-glucose-water), ethylene glycol (EG) and water (GCE/MWCNT-LGH-EG) for the determination and N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamide (paracetamol) (APAP) in urine samples. The optimization of both dispersion and measurement conditions was carried out using experimental design. The modified electrode exhibited enhanced current responses, demonstrating excellent electrochemical response towards APAP oxidation compared to MWCNTs-LGH, MWCNTs-EG, MWCNTs-H2O-EtOH and MWCNTs-H2O. The linear dependence between the anodic peak currents and the square root of scan rates over the range of 0.010-0.300 Vs-1 demonstrates that the electro oxidation of APAP occurs under diffusional control. The MWCNT-LGH-EG modified GCE displayed an analytical sensitivity of 10.72mLμg-1 (r=0.9994) and a detection limit of 100ngmL-1 for the selective determination of APAP in urine samples. The proposed electrochemical sensor was successfully applied for quantifying APAP in urine samples in the presence of uric acid. In addition, the accuracy and precision of the method was contrasted against a HPLC reference method.

Simultaneous Determination of Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, and Caffeine in Tablets by Molecular Absorption Spectroscopy Combined with Classical Least Square Method.

In this paper, the classical least-squares (CLS) method with molecular absorption spectrophotometric measurement was used to determine simultaneously paracetamol (PAR), ibuprofen (IBU), and caffeine (CAF) in tablets. The absorbance spectra of the standard solutions and samples were measured over a wavelength from 220 to 300 nm with a 0.5 nm step. The concentration of PAR, IBU, and CAF in the sample solutions was calculated by using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and a program called CLS-Excel written in Microsoft Excel 2016. The method and the CLS-Excel program were tested on mixed standard laboratory samples with different PAR, IBU, and CAF concentration ratios, and they showed only small errors and a satisfying repeatability. An analytical procedure for tablets containing PAR, IBU, and CAF was developed. The reliability of the procedure was proved via the recovery and repeatability of the analysis results with an actual tablet sample and by comparing the mean contents of active substances in the tablets obtained from the analytical procedure with the HPLC method. The procedure is simple with a reduced cost compared with the HPLC standard method.

In the present work, a highly selective and metal-free electrochemical sensor was fabricated from the fusion of nanocellulose and polypyrrole (NNC-PPY), incorporated with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) via drop-casting method for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol (PCM) and ciprofloxacin (CPR). The screen printed electrode (SPE) modified with NNC-PPY/SWCNTs shows outstanding electrocatalytic performance towards the redox reaction of PCM and oxidation of CPR. The nanocomposite was investigated by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, while the electrochemical performances were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), square-wave voltammetry (SWV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The molecular interactions and binding energy of the prepared NNC-PPY/SWCNTs nanocomposite with PCM and CPR were studied by molecular dynamic simulation (MDs). The fabricated NNC-PPY/SWCNTs/SPE sensor showed dynamic linear range of 0.05–40.0 µM and 1–50 µM for PCM and CPR and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.072 nM and 0.196 nM, with high sensitivity of 50.341 µA µM−1 cm−2 and 18.610 µA µM−1 cm−2, for PCM and CPR respectively. Furthermore, this fabricated sensor was implemented successfully for the simultaneous determination of PCM and CPR from water samples, biological fluids and pharmaceutical preparations.

Simultaneous Determination of Caffeine and Paracetamol in Commercial Formulations Using Greener Normal-Phase and Reversed-Phase HPTLC Methods: A Contrast of Validation Parameters.

There has been no assessment of the greenness of the described analytical techniques for the simultaneous determination (SMD) of caffeine and paracetamol. As a result, in comparison to the greener normal-phase high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) technique, this research was conducted to develop a rapid, sensitive, and greener reversed-phase HPTLC approach for the SMD of caffeine and paracetamol in commercial formulations. The greenness of both techniques was calculated using the AGREE method. For the SMD of caffeine and paracetamol, the greener normal-phase and reversed-phase HPTLC methods were linear in the 50–500 ng/band and 25–800 ng/band ranges, respectively. For the SMD of caffeine and paracetamol, the greener reversed-phase HPTLC approach was more sensitive, accurate, precise, and robust than the greener normal-phase HPTLC technique. For the SMD of caffeine paracetamol in commercial PANEXT and SAFEXT tablets, the greener reversed-phase HPTLC technique was superior to the greener normal-phase HPTLC approach. The AGREE scores for the greener normal-phase and reversed-phase HPTLC approaches were estimated as 0.81 and 0.83, respectively, indicated excellent greenness profiles for both analytical approaches. The greener reversed-phase HPTLC approach is judged superior to the greener normal-phase HPTLC approach based on numerous validation parameters and pharmaceutical assays.

Fast determination of paracetamol and its hydrolytic degradation product p-aminophenol by capillary and microchip electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection.

Paracetamol (PAC) is one of the most extensively used analgesics and antipyretic drugs to treat mild and moderate pain. P-aminophenol (PAP), the main hydrolytic degradation product of PAC, can be found in environmental water. Recently, CE has been developed for the detection of a wide variety of chemical substances. The purpose of this study is to develop a simple and fast method for the detection and separation of PAC and its main hydrolysis product PAP using CE and microchip electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection. The determination of these compounds using microchip electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection is being reported for the first time. The separation was run for all analytes using a BGE (20mM β-alanine, pH 11) containing 14% (v/v) methanol. The RSDs obtained for migration time were less than 4%, and RSDs obtained for peak area were less than 7%. The detection limits (S/N = 3) that were achieved ranged from 0.3 to 0.6mg/L without sample preconcentration. The presented method showed rapid analysis time (less than 1min), high efficiency and precision, low cost, and a significant decrease in the consumption of reagents. The microchip system has proved to be an excellent analytical technique for fast and reliable environmental applications.
