IDENTIFICATION AND DETERMINATION OF RUPATADINE AND FEXOFENADINE BY DENSITOMETRIC METHOD
Abstract:
Simple, precise and accurate densitometric methods were developed for the determination of two antihistamine drugs. rupatadine and fexofenadine. Silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ HPTLC plates were used as stationary phase, while mixtures of acetonitrile - water - 25% ammonia (90 : 10 : 1, v/v/v) and acetonitrile - methanol -acetate buffer at pH 5.5 (3 : 2 : 5, v/v/v) were used as mobile phases for rupatadine and fexofenadine, respectively. The detection of rupatadine and fexofenadine was conducted out at 256 and 210 nm, respectively. The limit of detection and the limit of quantification for rupatadine were found to be 0.3 and 0.1 μg/spot, respectively, and for fexofenadine, 5 and 2 μg/spot, respectively.

Protein-Drug Binding: Determination Methods
Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
