Abstract:
A simple, specific, and accurate proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopic method has been developed for the identification and assay of furosemide and its degradation product, 4-chloro-5-sulfamoylanthranilic acid (CSA), in tablets and injections. Dissolution of the sample in D2O-NaOD resulted in a solution yielding the required separation among the resonance signals of furosemide, CSA, and tert-butyl alcohol, the internal standard. The mean +/- SD recovery values of furosemide and CSA from 10 synthetic formulations were 99.6 +/- 0.8 and 98.9 +/- 1.7%, respectively. Commercial tablets (6 lots) and injections (5 lots) of furosemide were assayed by the proposed method and found to contain 53.1-99.8% furosemide and 0.3-45.2% CSA.

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...
