“…Different analytical techniques were reported in the literature for citicoline determination in different pharmaceutical formulations. These techniques include spectrophotometry [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], spectrofluorimetry [ 12 ], densitometry [ 13 ], high performance liquid chromatography [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. All these methods suffer from different severe limitations such as expensive instruments being required, being time consuming, non reliable results being obtained, multiple steps for sample preparation being needed and unstable reagent being used.…”
