Several methods for determination of valproic acid are known, namely: thin layer chromatography [5], liquid chromatography [6][7][8][9], high performance liquid chromatography [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], ultra high performance liquid chromatography [4,25,26], ultra performance liquid chromatography [27][28][29][30][31], gas chromatography [4,18,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38], capillary electrophoresis [39,40], voltamperometry [41], valproateselective electrode [42], and colorimetry [43]. ...

Determination of valproic acid in the drug was carried out on the aluminum silica gel 60F254 plates and using acetone–water–chloroform–ethanol–ammonia at a volume ratio of 30:1:8:5:11 as the mobile phase, respectively. Two methods of detection of valproic acid were used. The first was a 2% aqueous CuSO4×5H2O solution, and the second was a 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein-aluminum chloride-iron (III) chloride system. The applied TLC-densitometric method is selective, linear, accurate, precise, and robust, regardless of the visualizing reagent used for the determination of valproic acid in Convulex capsules. It has low limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ), which are equal to 5.8 μg/spot and 17.4 μg/spot using a 2% aqueous CuSO4×5H2O solution as visualizing agent and also 0.32 μg/spot and 0.97 μg/spot using a 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein-aluminum chloride-iron (III) chloride system as visualizing reagent, respectively. The described analytical method can additionally be used to study the identity of valproic acid in a pharmaceutical preparation. The linearity range was found to be 20.00–80.00 μg/spot and 1.00–2.00 μg/spot for valproic acid detected on chromatographic plates using a 2% aqueous CuSO4×5H2O solution and the 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein-aluminum chloride-iron (III) chloride system, respectively. A coefficient of variation that was less than 3% confirms the satisfactory accuracy and precision of the proposed method. The results of the assay of valproic acid equal 96.2% and 97.0% in relation to the label claim that valproic acid fulfill pharmacopoeial requirements. The developed TLC-densitometric method can be suitable for the routine analysis of valproic acid in pharmaceutical formulations. The proposed TLC-densitometry may be an alternative method to the modern high-performance liquid chromatography and square wave voltammetry in the control of above-mentioned substances, and it can be applied when other analytical techniques is not affordable in the laboratory.
... Figure 11a shows the Raman spectra of sodium valproate with different concentrations ranged from 1 to 10 3 ng/µL, the characteristic peaks centered at 1350 cm −1 and 1600 cm −1 can be clearly observed. The LOD for sodium valproate was 1 ng/µL which was far lower than that detected by reversed-phase HPLC method [48]. Meanwhile, under logarithmic operation, the linear modified relationship curves of Raman signal intensity to sodium valproate concentration at 1350 cm −1 and 1600 cm −1 are displayed in Figure 11a 1 , which provides a reference for the detection of sodium valproate solution with unknown concentration. ...

A high-efficiency surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection method with ultra-high sensitivity has been widely applied in drug component detection to optimize the product quality verification standards. Herein, a controllable strategy of sputtering Ag nanoislands on carbon fiber (C-fiber) via magnetron sputtering technology was proposed to fabricate a versatile Ag-C-fiber SERS active substrate. A wide range of multi-level electromagnetic enhancement “hot spots” distributed on Ag-C-fiber nanostructures can efficiently amplify Raman signals and the experimental enhancement factor (EEF) value was 3.871 × 106. Furthermore, substantial “hot spots” of large-scale distribution guaranteed the superior reproducibility of Raman signal with relative standard deviation (RSD) values less than 12.97%. Limit of detection (LOD) results indicated that when crystal violet (CV) is employed as probe molecule, the LOD was located at 1 × 10−13 M. By virtue of ultra-sensitivity and good flexibility of the Ag-C-fiber nanotemplate, Raman signals of two kinds of antiepileptic drugs called levetiracetam and sodium valproate were successfully obtained using an SERS-based spectral method. The Ag-C-fiber SERS detection platform demonstrated a good linear response (R2 = 0.97486) in sensing sodium valproate concentrations in the range of 1 × 103 ng/μL−1–1 ng/μL. We believe that this reliable strategy has potential application for trace detection and rapid screening of antiepileptic drugs in the clinic.
