This work is concerned with exploiting the power of chemometrics in the assay and purity determination of naphazoline HCl (NZ) and pheniramine maleate (PN) in their combined eye drops. Partial least squares (PLS) and artificial neural network (ANN) were the chosen models for that purpose where three selected official impurities, namely; NZ impurity B and PN impurities A and B, were successfully determined. The quantitative determinations of studied components were assessed by percentage recoveries, standard errors of prediction as well as root mean square errors of prediction. The developed models were constructed in the ranges of 5.0–13.0 μg mL⁻¹ for NZ, 10.0–60.0 μg mL⁻¹ for PN, 1.0–5.0 μg mL⁻¹ for NZ impurity B and 2.0–14.0 μg mL⁻¹ for two PN impurities. The proposed models could determine NZ and PN with respective detection limits of 0.447 and 1.750 μg mL⁻¹ for PLS, and 0.494 and 2.093 μg mL⁻¹ for ANN. The two established models were compared favorably with official methods where no significant difference observed.

Impurity profiling of a pharmaceutical compound is now taking great attention during quality assessment of pharmaceuticals, as presence of small amount of impurities may affect safety and efficacy. In this work, a novel TLC chromatographic method coupled with densitometric detection was established for the simultaneous quantification of naphazoline HCl, pheniramine maleate and three of their official impurities, namely; naphazoline impurity B, pheniramine impurities; A & B. Chromatographic separation was carried out on TLC aluminum silica plates F254, as a stationary phase, using methanol: ethyl acetate: 33.0% ammonia (2.0: 8.0: 1.0, by volume), as a mobile phase. Plates were examined at 260.0 nm and International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines were followed for method’s validation. Important factors, such as; composition of mobile phase and detection wavelengths were optimized. Linearity was achieved over the ranges of 2.0–50.0 µg band ⁻¹ for naphazoline, 10.0–110.0 µg band ⁻¹ for pheniramine, 0.1–10.0 µg band ⁻¹ for naphazoline impurity B and 2.0–50.0 µg band ⁻¹ for both pheniramine impurities. The proposed method was assessed in terms of accuracy, precision and robustness where satisfactory results (recovery % ≈ 100% and RSD < 2) were obtained. The method was also applied for the simultaneous determination of naphazoline HCl and pheniramine maleate, in Naphcon-A ® eye drops, with respective recoveries of 101.36% and 100.94%. Method greenness was evaluated and compared to the reported HPLC one via environmental, health and safety tool. The developed method has much potential over the reported one of being simple, selective, economic and time saving for the analysis of the five cited compounds.

Abstract A capillary electrophoresis method was developed for the first time and optimized for the determination of paracetamol, pseudoephedrine, dextromethorphan, chlorpheniramine, 4-aminophenol and ephedrine in tablet formulation. Optimum electrophoretic conditions were achieved by using a background electrolyte of 75 mmol L-1 sodium borate buffer at pH 8.0, a capillary temperature of 30°C, a separation voltage of 30 kV and a pressure injection of the sample at 50 mbar for 10 s. Calibration graphs showed a good linearity with a coefficient of determination (R2) of at least 0.999 for all compounds. Intraday and interday precision (expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD) %) were lower than 1.39% for capillary electrophoresis method. The developed method was demonstrated to be simple and rapid for the determination of paracetamol, pseudoephedrine, dextromethorphan, chlorpheniramine, 4-aminophenol and ephedrine in tablet formulation providing recoveries in the range between 99.62 and 100.57% for all analytes.

Three multivariate calibration-prediction techniques, partial least squares (PLS), principal component regression (PCR) and artifi cial neural networks (ANN), have been applied without separation in the spectrophotometric multi-component analysis of phenylephrine hydrochloride and naphazoline hydrochloride. A set of 25 synthetic mixtures of phenylephrine hydrochloride and naphazoline hydrochloride has been evaluated to determine the predictability of PLS, PCR and ANN. The absorbance data matrix was obtained by measuring zero-order absorbances between 230-300 nm at intervals of 3 nm. The suitability of the models was determined on the basis of root mean square error (RMSE), root mean squared cross validation error (RMSECV) and root mean squared prediction error (RMSEP) values of calibration and validation data. The results showed a very good correlation between true values and the predicted concentration values. Therefore, the methods developed can be used for routine drug analysis without chemical pre-treatment.

Drug impurities are now seen as a major threat to drug safety around the world, especially when it comes to carcinogenic impurities. Here, we present the first spectrophotometric approach for the quantification of lignocaine and fluorescein in the presence of 2,6-xylidine, lignocaine’s carcinogenic impurity. The approach depends on overcoming unresolved bands through a data processing strategy employing 10 affordable, simple, and sensitive spectrophotometric methods. Fluorescein analysis (1–16 μg mL ⁻¹ ) was performed using direct ultraviolet spectrophotometry (D ⁰ ) at 478 nm; then, the ratio subtraction method allowed the removal of interference caused by the fluorescein spectrum. From the resulting ratio spectra, 2,6-xylidine (40–160 μg mL ⁻¹ ) can be efficiently determined at 280 nm. However, lignocaine (72–320 μg mL ⁻¹ ) was analyzed using different ultraviolet-based methods, including continuous wavelet transform, ratio derivative by Savitzky–Golay filters, mean centering, second derivative of ratio spectra, ratio spectra difference spectrophotometry, extended ratio subtraction, absorbance subtraction, Q-absorbance ratio, and area under the curve. In line with International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH), the presented approach was evaluated by its coefficients of determination, detection limits, quantification limits, and relative standard deviations. Similarly, the developed approach was assessed for whiteness, greenness, and sustainability using five assessment tools, including National Environmental Method Index, Eco-Scale Assessment, Complementary Green Analytical Procedure Index, Analytical Greenness Metric, and RGB12, offering promising results. Owing to the satisfactory analytical performance, besides the sustainability, affordability, simplicity, and cost efficiency of the presented methods, their application for quality control and in situ analysis in minimal-infrastructure laboratories increases, increasing the surveillance potential.

Spectroscopic method in the UV-Vis region is considered the most molecular spectrometric method for content determination of a single component. However, a lot of pharmaceutical dosage forms comprise two or more components which lead to peak overlapping. Moreover, in the chemical stability test, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) was also found along with the degradation products, impurities, and adulterant compounds. UV-Vis spectroscopy is one of the methods of choice for the determination or quantification of a single component in pharmaceutical preparations. The pharmaceutical products typically contain two or more APIs having chromophoric agents capable of absorbing UV-Vis beams and the absorbance values are summative from the absorption of each UV-Vis active compound according to the additive nature of Lambert-Beer law. The main problem for the simultaneous determination of API along with impurities and the degradation products in pharmaceutical preparations is the presence of overlapping peaks of UV-Vis spectra. The chemometrics-assisted spectroscopy is one of the analytical efforts to solve these problems. This review highlighted the application of chemometrics in combination with UV-Vis spectroscopy for the assay of API, impurities, adulteration issues and degradation products present in pharmaceutical dosage forms.
