    Abstract:
    Rapid and simple capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods were developed for the simultaneous determinations of cinnarizine and domperidone (CN/DOM) and cinnarizine and nicergoline (CN/NIC) in their co-formulated tablets. The optimized CE conditions were as follows: running buffer, methanol-acetate buffer (pH 3.0, 10 mM) (80:20 and 85:15 (v/v) for CN/DOM and CN/NIC, respectively); applied voltage, 20 kV; UV detection wavelengths, 215 and 227 nm for CN/DOM and CN/NIC, respectively; hydrodynamic injection was performed at a height of 25 mm for 30 s. Quinine hydrochloride and nicardipine hydrochloride were used as internal standards for the determination of CN/DOM and CN/NIC, respectively. Calibration curves were linear over the ranges 0.25-20/0.375-15 microg/ml (CN/DOM) and 0.25-25/0.4-10 microg/ml (CN/NIC) in each optimized condition. Detection limits were 0.074/0.119 microg/ml and 0.072/0.116 microg/ml for CN/DOM and CN/NIC, respectively. The proposed methods were successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of both CN/DOM and CN/NIC in their co-formulated tablets without interfering peaks due to the excipients present in the pharmaceutical tablets. The estimated amounts of CN/DOM and CN/NIC were almost identical with the certified values, and their percentage relative standard deviation values (%R.S.D.) were found to be < or =2.34% (n=3).
