Abstract

Objective: Two advanced spectrophotometric methods have been proposed for the simultaneous determination of Salbutamol sulphate, Ambroxol hydrochloride and Theophylline in pure and pharmaceutical formulations. The proposed methods exclude the hectic steps of time-consuming sample preparations or purification or separation steps. There is no any spectrophotometric method has been avail for simultaneous estimation of the ternary mixture containing Salbutamol sulphate, Ambroxol hydrochloride and Theophylline.

Methods: The methods are derivative ratio spectra zero-crossing method and double divisor ratio spectra derivative method respectively. Both the methods are found to be rapid, accurate, precise, reliable and economical as well. The developed methods show best results in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection and limit of quantification for standard laboratory mixtures of pure drugs and marketed formulations.

Results: The range for Salbutamol sulphate, Ambroxol hydrochloride and Theophyllineare found to be 1-35 µg ml^-1, 5-35 µg ml^-1and 6-60 µg ml^-1 respectively. For the derivative ratio spectra zero-crossing method, the values of the limit of detection are found to be 0.3161 µg ml^-1, 0.2212 µg ml^-1 and 0.2910 µg ml^-1 and the values limit of quantification are found to be 0.9571 µg ml^-1, 0.7412 µg ml^-1 and 0.9671 µg ml^-1 for Salbutamol sulphate, Ambroxol hydrochloride and Theophylline respectively. For double divisor ratio spectra derivative method, limit of detection values is found to be 0.3251 µg ml^-1, 0.2591 µg ml^-1 and 0.2640 µg ml^-1 and the limit of quantification values are found to be 0.9870 µg ml^-1, 0.8650 µg ml^-1 and 0.8812 µg ml^-1 for Salbutamol sulphate, Ambroxol hydrochloride and Theophylline respectively.

Conclusion: The common excipients and additives did not interfere in the determinations of any of the drugs while being analysed for commercial formulations. These two spectrophotometric methods, which determine SS, AH, and THE simultaneously, are simple, specific, accurate, precise, rapidly, and economically, indicating that they can be used routinely in pharmaceutical analysis. As a result, derivative spectrophotometry may be used effectively for the simultaneous determination of SS, AH and THE in the combined dosage forms without any prior separation of individual drugs.
