ABSTRACT: Three simple, rapid, precise and accurate spectrophotometric methods have been developed for simultaneous analysis of Cinitapride Hydrogen Tartrate (CNT) and Rabeprazole Sodium (RAB) in their combined dosage form. Method A, Simultaneous equation method (Vierodt’s method) applies measurement of absorptivities at two wavelengths, 265.6 nm (λmax of Cinitapride Hydrogen Tartrate) and 282.6 nm, (λmax of Rabeprazole Sodium) in zero order spectra. The concentrations can be calculated from the derived equations. Method B, Q-Absorbance equation method. It involves formation of Q-absorbance equation at 279.00 nm (isoabsorptive point) and 265.60 nm (λmax of Cinitapride Hydrogen Tartrate) in zero order spectra. Method C, Zero crossing first derivative spectrophotometry involves measurement of absorbance at 246.30 nm (for Cinitapride Hydrogen Tartrate) and 304.00 nm (for Rabeprazole Sodium) in first derivative spectra. Developed methods were validated according to ICH guidelines. The calibration graph follows Beer’s law in the range of 4.0 to 20.0 μg/ml for Cinitapride Hydrogen Tartrate and 4.0 to 20.0 μg/ml for Rabeprazole Sodium in water as a solvent with R square value greater than 0.999. Accuracy of all methods was determined by recovery studies and showed % recovery between 98 to 102%. Intraday and inter day precision was checked for all methods and mean %RSD was found to be less than 2 for all the methods. The methods were successfully applied for estimation of Cinitapride Hydrogen Tartrate and Rabeprazole Sodium in marketed formulation.

RP-HPLC method available in literature for simultaneous determination of Cinitapride hydrogen tartrate with Pantoprazole 12. However, to our knowledge, there is no reported UV-Spectrophotometric method available for simultaneous estimation of Cinitapride hydrogen tartrate and Rabeprazole Sodium.
The aim of the present work was to develop easy, economic, accurate, specific and precise spectrophotometric methods for simultaneous estimation of Rabeprazole Sodium and Cinitapride Hydrogen Tartrate in combined pharmaceutical formulations and validation of newly developed analytical methods.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Apparatus and Software: Shimadzu UV-1800 double beam spectrophotometer connected to a computer loaded with Shimadzu UV Probe 3.34 software was used for all the spectrophotometric measurements. The absorbance spectra of the reference and test solutions were carried out in 1cm quartz cells over the range of 200-400 nm. The samples were weighed on Contech analytical balance.
Reagents and Chemicals: Distilled Water, Methanol AR grade.
Preparation of Stock Solution: Accurately weighed CNT and RAB (in quantities of 50.0 mg) were transferred to two separate 50 ml volumetric flasks, dissolved with the use of 2 ml methanol. About 10 ml water was added and sonicated for 10 minute. Then volume was made up to the mark with water to obtain stock solution of CNT (1000 μg/ml) and RAB (1000 μg/ml).
Preparation of Working Standard Solution: From the above solution, standard stocks solutions of CNT (100 μg/ml) and RAB (100 μg/ml) were prepared by transferring 10 ml aliquots to 100 ml volumetric flasks and making up the volume with water.
Preparation of Calibration Curve of Standard CNT and RAB: From working std. solution of CNT (100 μg/ml) and RAB (100 μg/ml) 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, and 2.0 ml were transferred to 10 ml volumetric flasks and volume were made up to the mark with water. This gives 4.0 to 20 μg/ml for both CNT and RAB.
Method A:
Simultaneous equation method (Vierodt’s method): If a sample containing two absorbing drug (X and Y) each of which absorbs at λmax of other. It may possible to determine both drugs by the technique of simultaneous equations (Vierodt's method) provided that certain criteria apply. The information required is the aborptivities of X at and λ1 and λ2 i.e. ax1 and ax2 respectively; (a) The aborptivities of Y at λ1 and λ2 i.e. Ay1 and Ay2 respectively (b). The absorbances of the diluted sample at λ1 and λ2 i.e. A1 and A2 respectively.
Let Cx and Cy be the concentrations of X and Y respectively in the diluted sample. Two equations are constructed based upon the fact that at λ1 and λ2 the absorbance of the mixture is the sum of the individual absorbance of X and Y. From the stock solutions, working standard solutions of CNT (100 μg/ml) and RAB (100μg/ml) were prepared. By appropriate dilutions, the solutions with concentrations 4.0-20 μg/ml (for both CNT and RAB) were prepared and scanned between 200 to 400 nm (Fig. 3). calibration curve of absorbance versus concentration were prepared. The calibration curves were found to be linear in the concentration range under study (Fig. 4.1 & 4.2). For CNT and RAB, analytical wavelengths of 265.60 nm and 282.60 nm were selected respectively. Absorptivity of CNT and RAB were calculated at both the wavelengths. The concentrations of CNT and RAB can be calculated from following equations 13:
Cx (CNT) = (A2 ay1 – A1 ay2) / (ax2 ay1 – ax1 ay2)
Cy (RAB) = (A1 ax2 – A2 ax1) / (ax2 ay1 – ax1 ay2)
Where; Cx & Cy are concentrations of CNT and RAB respectively in gm/100 ml in the sample solution. A1 & A2 are the absorbances of the mixture at 265.60 nm & 282.60 nm respectively; aX1 and aX2 = Absorptivity of CNT at 265.60 nm and 282.60 nm; aY1 and aY2 = Absorptivity of RAB at 265.60 nm and 282.60 nm.

Method B:
Q-Absorbance ratio method: Q method uses the ratio of absorbances at two selected wavelengths, one at isoabsorptive point and other being the λmax of one of the two compounds. From the stock solutions, working standard solutions of CNT (100 μg/ml) and RAB (100μg/ml) were prepared. By appropriate dilutions, the solutions with concentrations 4.0-20 μg/ml (for both CNT and RAB) were prepared and scanned between 200 to 400 nm (Fig. 5).
Series of standard solutions ranging from 4.0-20 μg/ml (for both CNT and RAB were prepared and the absorbance of solutions was recorded at 265.60 nm (λmax of CNT) and 279.00 nm (isoabsorptive point)to plot a calibration curve of absorbance versus concentration (Fig. 6.1 & 6.2). Calibration curves were found to be linear in the concentration range under study. Absorptivity values of CNT and RAB were determined at selected wavelengths. The concentration of two drugs in mixture was calculated by using following equations 13:
CX = [(QM – QY) / (QX -QY)] × A1/ax1
CY = [A1/ax1] - CX
Where; Qm = A2/A1, Qx = ax2/ax1, Qy = ay2/ay1; A1and A2 are absorbance of mixture at 279 nm and 165.60 nm respectively; ax1 and ax2 is Absorptivity of CNT at 279 nm and 265.60 nm respectively; ay1 and ay2 is Absorptivity of RAB at 279 nm and 265.60 nm respectively.

Method C:
Zero crossing first derivative spectrophotometry: The solutions of standard CNT and RAB were prepared in the range of 4.0 to 20.0 μg/ml. The absorption spectra of the solutions of CNT and RAB were recorded in the range of 200 nm to 400 nm and were stored in the memory of the instrument and transformed to first derivative with Δλ = 8nm and scaling factor 50 (Fig. 7). At 246.30 nm, RAB is having zero crossing point and CNT can be determined. At 304.00 nm, CNT is having zero crossing point and RAB can be determined. The amplitudes at 246.30 nm were plotted against respective concentrations of CNT and the amplitudes at 304.00 nm were plotted against the respective concentrations of RAB for the preparation of calibration graph. Calibration graph for CNT and RAB are shown (Fig. 8.1 & 8.2).
