  • Spectrofluorometric Determination of Some Β-Blockers in Tablets And
    ORIGINAL ARTICLES Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, College of Pharmacy, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Spectrofluorometric determination of some b-blockers in tablets and human plasma using 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene-2-sodium sulfonate H. Abdine, M. A. Sultan, M. M. Hefnawy, F. Belal Received April 16, 2004, accepted June 2, 2004 Prof. Dr. F. Belal, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, College of Pharmacy, P.O.Box 2457, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia [email protected] Pharmazie 60: 265–268 (2005) A simple and sensitive spectrofluorometric method was developed for the quantitative determination of some b-blockers, namely arotinolol, atenolol and labetalol as hydrochloride salts. The method is based on the reaction of these drugs as n-electron donors with the fluorogenic reagent 9,10-dimethoxy-2- anthracene sulfonate (DMAS) as p-acceptor in acidic medium. The obtained ion-pairs were extracted into chloroform and measured spectrofluorometrically at 452 nm after excitation at 385 nm. The fluor- escence intensity-concentration plots are rectilinear over the ranges of 0.5–5 mg Á ml1, 1.0–11.0 mg Á ml1 and 0.6–6.4 mg Á ml1 for labetalol, atenolol and arotinolol, respectively. The different parameters affect- ing the reaction pathway were thoroughly studied and optimized. No interference was observed from the common pharmaceutical excipients. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analy- sis of tablets and the results were statistically compared with those obtained by reference methods. The method was further extended to the in vitro determination of the drugs in spiked human plasma, the% recoveries (n ¼ 3) ranged from 96.98 Æ 1.55 to 98.28 Æ 2.19.

Accepted 8 September, 2011 Arotinolol had been used for treatment of essential hypertension. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of arotinolol with other antihypertensive drugs in treating essential hypertension. Medical databases and review articles were screened with prespecified criteria for randomized controlled trials that reported the effects of and adverse reactions to arotinolol and other antihypertensive drugs in treating essential hypertension. Literature identified meta-analysed using RevMan4.2. Methodology quality of the selected studies was conducted using a Jadad scale. The results were that a total of 176 articles had been found of which 6 were finally included for meta- analysis. The meta-analysis compared the efficacy and safety of arotinolol with other common antihypertensive drugs, including enalapril, felodipine, imidapril, cilinidipine, metroprolol and atenolol. Results indicated that there were no evidence for differences in safety and efficacy.
