Abstract

A simple new spectrophotometric method has been developed for estimation of Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in bulk and tablet dosage form. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is estimated to be 261 nm in triple distilled water. The Beer′s law is obeyed in the concentration range of 5 - 90 µg/mL of the drug. The slope and intercept values are 0.0109 and 0.1075, respectively. Results of analysis of this method have been validated statically and by recovery studies. The method is applied to the marketed tablet formulation. A result of the analysis of tablet formulation, given as a percentage of label claim ± standard deviation is 98.15 ± 0.76. The precision and accuracy has been examined by performing recovery studies and found to be 100.06 ± 1.24. The developed method is simple, sensitive, and reproducible, and can be used for the routine analysis of Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in bulk and tablet dosage form.

Purpose: The current study aimed to improve the oral bioavailability of tenofovir (TNF), an antihuman immunodeficiency viral (HIV) drug, by integrating it into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), an emerging lipid formulation. Method: The suggested SLNs were generated utilizing the microemulsion process, using Compritol 888 ATO. A Box–Behnken experimental design was attempted to analyze the impact of critical quality attributes (CQAs), such as lipid and surfactant content and homogenization duration on response metrics such as particle size (PS) and percentage entrapment. The prepared SLNs were assessed for entrapment efficiency, zeta potential (ZP), PS, polydispersity index, and in vitro drug release. Moreover, ex vivo permeation tests employing goat intestinal sacs, solid-state characterization by DSC and PXRD, surface morphology by SEM, and in vivo pharmacokinetic evaluation using albino Wistar rats were conducted. Results: The research findings demonstrated that a formulation composed of 5.5% lipid and 2% surfactant had a comparatively smaller PS (449.90 ± 4.79 nm), a narrow size distribution (0.304 ± 0.004), and strong stability with an entrapment efficiency of 83.13 ± 6.34% and a negative ZP (−18.10 ± 2.35 mV). According to in vitro drug release experiments, first-order kinetics were followed and 99% of the medication was released over the time course of 24 h. In albino Wistar rats, an in vivo pharmacokinetic analysis of the optimized formulation (F10) showed a 12.4-fold improvement in bioavailability over pure TNF solution. Conclusion: This study suggests the potential of SLNs in overcoming bioavailability issues, particularly low permeability, gut metabolism, and P-gp efflux transport.

The electrochemical reduction of the antiretroviral drug, tenofovir (TNF), was studied in Britton Robinson (BR) buffer at the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). Tenofovir showed one well-defined reduction peak in the potential range -1.2 to -1.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) due to reduction of the C = N bond of the imidazole ring. A method based on square-wave cathodic adsorptive stripping voltammetry (SWCAdSV) was optimized and validated for assay of TNF in human plasma and a tablet formulation. Sample preparation of plasma involved protein precipitation with acetonitrile. The method was linear in the concentration range 0.5-5.0 mu g/mL in both standard solutions and plasma with lower limits of quantitation (LLOQ) of 0.39 and 0.76 mu g/mL respectively. Accuracy was within the acceptance criteria of 100 +/- 15% of the theoretical value except at the LLOQ where it was 100 +/- 20%. Precision was within the criteria of 15% at all concentration levels. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of TNF in human plasma and a tablet formulation.

Two simple and selective methods were developed for the simultaneous determination of tenofovir fumarate (TEN) and emtricitabine (EMT) in combined tablets. The first method involves the application of first derivative spectrophotometry where the first derivative amplitudes were measured at 298.5 nm for determination of EMT in presence of TEN. The second method involves first derivative of ratio spectra spectrophotometry where the amplitudes at 251.5 nm have been used for quantitation of TEN in the presence of EMT. Different variables affecting each method were carefully investigated and optimized. Reliability and analytical performance of the proposed methods, including linearity, range, precision, accuracy, detection, and quantitation limits, were statistically validated. The methods were successfully applied for the determination of EMT and TEN in laboratory-prepared mixtures and in their combined tablets.

This study presents a novel method for the selective synthesis of 4‐, 5‐, 6‐, or 8‐alkylamino derivatives of quinoline and 8‐alkylaminoisoquinoline. The method leverages direct oxidative substitution of hydrogen with an alkylamino group within the molecules of 3(5,6,7,8)‐nitroquinolines and 5‐nitroisoquinoline in an aqueous environment. Notably, the regioselectivity of these reactions is solely governed by the presence of the nitro group. Its preservation in products makes it possible for further, deeper transformations in the molecule. This method is distinguished by its simplicity and scalability. image

A simple and selective liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TEN) and emtricitabine (EMT) in combined tablets. The method is based on separation of TEN and EMT on a Zorbax SB-C8 column, 5 μm, 4.6 × 250 mm, with a mobile phase consisting of 50 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate-acetonitrile (50:50, v/v). The mobile phase contains 0.1% triethylamine (TEA) and was adjusted to pH 6.0. Quantification of the analytes is achieved with diode array - ultraviolet detector (DAD-UV) at 260 and 280 nm for TEN and EMT, respectively, based on peak area. Different variables affecting the method were carefully investigated and optimized. Reliability and analytical performance of the proposed method, including linearity, range, precision, accuracy, and detection and quantitation limits, were statistically validated. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was successfully applied for determination of each drug in their binary tablets.
