Analysis of miconazole and econazole in pharmaceutical formulations by derivative UV spectroscopy and liquid chromatography (HPLC). 1989

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy.

Methods based on derivative UV spectrophotometry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have been developed for the selective determination of miconazole and econazole in pharmaceutical dosage forms. A solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure using a diol column gave quantitative drug extraction from formulated creams and provided purified sample solutions suitable for assay by the derivative UV spectrophotometric and HPLC methods. The proposed methods gave comparable accurate results, whereas a conventional UV spectrophotometric method was found to be seriously affected by excipients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
