Simultaneous determination of domperidone maleate and cinnarizine in a binary mixture using derivative ratio spectrophotometry and classical least squares calibration.
This work is concerned with the simultaneous determination of domperidone maleate (DOM) and cinnarizine (CINN) in a binary mixture form without previous separation by two different methods. The first method is the application of derivative ratio spectrophotometry where the linearity range was 2.5-30 micro g/ml, 2.5-25 micro g/ml for DOM and CINN, respectively, and percentage recoveries were 100.26+/-1.308 and 99.86+/-0.939 for DOM and CINN, respectively, in their laboratory prepared mixtures. The second method depends on the application of classical least squares (CLS) calibration model. Two training sets were constructed and the best model was used for the prediction of the concentrations of both drugs. The proposed procedures were successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of both drugs in laboratory prepared mixtures and in commercial tablet preparations. The validity of the proposed methods was assessed by applying the standard addition technique where the percentage recovery of the added standard was found to be 99.83+/-1.861 and 98.38+/-0.871 for DOM and CINN, respectively, using the derivative ratio method and 99.53+/-0.916 and 99.39+/-0.599 for DOM and CINN, respectively, using the CLS method. The proposed procedures are rapid, simple, require no preliminary separation steps and can, therefore, be used routine analysis of both drugs in quality control laboratories.
