“…Derivative transform was applied to the original absorption signal together with its FWT generalization. Commercial tablets; no significant difference in the performance of the three methods regarding the accuracy and precision, respectively [166] Fenbufen; Ketoprofen By classical spectrophotometryzero-order derivative, 1st-and 2nd-order DS using "peak-peak" and, "peak-zero" measurements; in pharmaceuticals By ratio spectra first-order DS (graphical method) and chemometric method (numerical method, CLS); in the graphical approach, absorption spectra of QA and its binary mixtures in the selected spectral range of 210-280 nm were divided by standard spectrum of 10 g mL −1 HCT and their absorption spectra obtained, in the similar way, ratio spectra of HCT in region of 210-350 nm were obtained by using standard spectrum of 12 g mL −1 QA; 1st derivative of ratio spectra obtained in above steps calculated by = 5 nm interval for both drugs Lamivudine; Zidovudine Derivative-differential UV and compensation technique at 246 and 263 nm; also, HPLC; in human serum and pharmaceutical formulations -No differences were found between the methods [189] Levamizole; Oxyclozanide Numerical (PLS and PCR calibrations) and graphical (2nd-derivative spectrophotometry, amplitudes at 263.6 and 294 nm, respectively) methods; in bolus 5-25 for both drugs All proposed methods validated by using independent synthetic mixtures and standard addition technique [190] Loratadine; Pseudoephedrine By three different methods: (1) employs multi-wavelength spectroscopy using seven mixed standards and 257.0 and 283.0 nm as two wavelengths for estimation; (2) 1st derivative using 263.0 and 308.6 nm as zero-crossing points; (3) HPLC 0-40; 0-800 Results validated statistically and by recovery studies [191] Metformin; Pioglitazone 2nd derivative at 257.25 and 227.55 nm, respectively in spectra of their solutions in a mixture of methanol and acetonitrile (30:70) and HPLC; in combined dosage forms 4-20 for both drugs Both methods were validated and the results were compared statistically; they were found to be accurate, precise and specific [192] Routine analysis of both drugs in quality control laboratories [194] N-Butylscopolamine; Oxazepam 1st derivative by zero-crossing method at 226 and 257 nm, respectively; acetonitrile was selected as solvent in which both compounds showed well-defined bands; both analytes showed good stability in this solvent when their solutions were exposed to light and temperatures between 20 and [196] Paracetamol; Aceclofenac or Tramadol Zero-crossing point technique and the compensation technique; in combination solid dosage forms 0-24 for all drugs - [197] Paracetamol; Valdecoxib DS to eliminate spectral interference by measuring absorbances at two wavelengths 301 and 284 nm, respectively, in two-component tablet formulation -Results validated statistically and by recovery studies [198] Piracetam (PIR); Vincamine (VIN) By three different methods: (1) using ratio spectra 1st derivative at 209 and 293 nm; [202] Aspirin, Salicylic acid, Paracetamol 1st and 2nd derivatives of the ratio spectra and measurement at zero-crossing wavelengths. The ratio spectra were obtained by dividing the absorption spectrum of the mixture by that of one of the components; in synthetic mixtures and dosage forms 0.07-0....…”
