Determination of estrogens in dosage forms by fluorescence using dansyl chloride.

A sensitive, reproducible, fluorometric procedure for the determination of estrogens in pharmaceutical preparations is presented. The estrogens are determined fluorometrically following their reaction with dansyl chloride. The optimum conditions for the reaction such as pH, reaction solvent composition variations, and speed of reaction are discussed. In addition, a linearity study of the relationship between concentration and fluorescence intensity for estrone, estradiol, and ethinyl estradiol is reported. Solvent extraction procedures based on acid-base behavior or column chromatography are used when necessary to isolate the estrogen prior to reaction with dansyl chloride and fluorometric measurement. The recovery of estrogens from spiked samples indicated that the proposed method is efficient and reproducible. Comparison of the dansyl procedure with the official NF method in the analysis of estrone aqueous suspension showed the proposed method to be accurate and more precise than the NF assay. Estrone aqueous suspension, estradiol in sesame oil, estradiol valerate in castor oil and in sesame oil (in the latter case, in the presence of testosterone), estradiol benzoate in sesame oil, and ethinyl estradiol tablets (0.5 mg/tablet) from commercial sources were satisfactorily analyzed, with average results within compendial limits and no coefficient of variation greater than 2%.

Fluorescence reactions of fluorescamine with levodopa and its derivatives: fluorescence assay of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylalanine in levodopa dosage forms.

A simple fluorometric method for the quantitation of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylalanine, either alone or in the presence of levodopa, is presented. Fluorescence is developed by reaction with fluorescamine. The interactions of this reagent with levodopa and a number of its derivatives under various experimental conditions were studied. Negligible fluorescence was obtained with levodopa, dopamine, levodopa benzyl ester, and 6-hydroxydopamine.

Determination of polythiazide in pharmaceutical dosage forms by high-pressure liquid chromatography.

A method is presented for the quantitative analysis of polythiazide tablets by high-pressure liquid chromatography. The powdered tablets are extracted with methanol, containing quinoline as the internal standard, and assayed by comparison of peak heights after liquid chromatography. The chromatographic conditions employed may be adapted for the determination of many other thiazide and nonthiazide diuretics.
