INTRODUCTION
Most of the manufacturing industries rely upon both qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis to ensure that the raw material used meet certain specification, and also to check quality of the final product. The unwanted compound may be harmful to manufacturing process or may appear as a harmful impurity in the final product.¹

A quantitative analysis is performed to establish the proportion of the essential component in the raw material. The final manufactured product is analyzed to ensure that its essential component is present within a predetermined range of composition and impurities do not exceed certain specified limit.

Abstract
Irbesartan is chemically 2-butyl-3-({4-[2-(2H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-yl) phenyl] phenyl} methyl) -1,3-diazaspiro [4.4] non-1-en-4-one. Irbesartan is an Angiotensin II receptor antagonist effective in the treatment of Hypertension. It is also effective in the treatment of High blood pressure. It is also effective when used alone or in combination with other drugs. Objective of the present study is to develop a simple, sensitive, accurate, precise and rapid first order derivative spectrophotometric method for the estimation of irbesartan in pure form. For the estimation of irbesartan, solvent system employed was 50% v/v aqueous ethanol and wavelength of detection (λ_det) was 237 nm. The linearity was obtained in the range 8 – 18 µg/ml, with a regression coefficient, R²= 1. The LOD & LOQ were found to be 0.5 µg/ml and 1.63 µg/ml respectively. Obtained results showed that there is minimum intra day and inter day variation. The developed method was validated and recovery studies were also carried out. Sample recovery using the above method was in good agreement with their respective labeled claims, thus suggesting the validity of the method and non-interference of formulation excipients in the estimation. First order derivative spectroscopy method is simple, rapid and reproducible and further it can be used for the analysis.

ABSTRACT
This paper describe a simple, precise and economical spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of Deflazacort(DFCT) in tablet dosage form. Method is based on the estimation of DFCT in aqueous acetonitrileat 246 nm. Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 4-14 µg/ml. The accuracy of the method was assessed by recovery studies and was found to be 99.38±0.15 for DFCT. Results of the analysis were validated statistically so that it can be used for routine analysis of DFCT in tablet dosage form.

Abstract
Acalypha indica Linn. consists of dried herb of Acalypha indica Linn. belonging to familyEuphorbiaceae. Within the Euphorbiaceae family, Acalypha indica is one of the biggest and most diverse, with nearly 450 species. Two thirds of its species are found in America, 19 of them in Venezuala, they are mainly used as ornamental, but with the rising of traditional medicine, these species are given medical properties painkillers, laxatives, anti-inflammatory and many others.The GC-MS analysis of methanol and acetone (70 : 30) extract prepared from the whole plant of Acalypha indica linn. revealed the presence of different phytochemicals.

ABSTRACT
* A simple, specific, accurate and stability-indicating reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for simultaneous estimation of Tadalafil and Dapoxetine HCL, Water Symmetry C-18 (150 x 4.6 mm),5 µ and a mobile phase composed of Buffer : Acetonitrile (65:35)

* The retention time of Tadalafil and Dapoxetine HCL were found to be10.08 and 4.45 min respectively. Linearity was established for Tadalafil and Dapoxetine HCL in the range of 8.0-60 μg/ml and 24.0-180.0 μg/ml respectively. The percentage recovery of Tadalafil and Dapoxetine HCL were found to be in the range of 99.7-100.6% and 98.07-99.09% respectively. The drug was subjected to acid and alkali hydrolysis, oxidation, dry heat and photolytic degradation. The degradation studies indicated, Tadalafil showed degradation in acid and alkali while it was found stable in H₂O_2,photolytic and in presence of dry heat and Dapoxetine showed degradation in thermal and peroxide while it was found stable in rest of parameters . The degradation products of Tadalafil and Dapoxetine HCL in acidic, alkaline conditions were well resolved from the pure drug with significant differences in their retention time values. This method can be successfully employed for the quantitative analysis of Tadalafil and Dapoxetine HCL in bulk drugs and formulations.

ABSTRACT
A new, simple, rapid, accurate, precise and sensitive method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of Furosemide and Spironolactone in their combined tablet dosage form. The method was carried out on a Hiber C₁₈ column (250 mm×4.6mm, i.d.5 μm) with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: water at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and the detection was carried out at 237 nm. The retention time of Furosemide and Spironolactone was 3.81 min and 7.28 min. respectively. Linearity for Furosemide and Spironolactone were found in the range of 2-10 μg/ml and 5-25 μg/ml respectively. The developed method was validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, and precision, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). The proposed method can be used for estimation of both drugs in their combined dosage form.

Abstract:
The present manuscript described the simple, rapid, accurate, sensitive, precise and economical Q- absorption ratio method for simultaneous determination of Cefixime and Moxifloxacin in combined tablet dosage form. Absorption ratio method uses the ratio of absorbances at selected wavelengths, one which is isoabsorptive point and other being the λ_max of the one of the components. Cefixime and Moxifloxacin shows isoabsorptive point at 275nm in 0.1N HCl. The second wavelength used is 295nm, which is λ_max of Moxifloxacin. The concentrations of the drugs were determined by using ratio of absorances at isoabsorptive point and at λ_max of Moxifloxacin. The method successfully applied to the Pharmaceutical formulation because no interference from the tablet formulation excipients was found. The results of analysis have been validated statistically and by recovery studies.
