Averineni Ravi Kumar

The importance of IR spectroscopy cover a wide range of subjects in pharmacy 1. PHARMACEUTICS :- To check the incompatability studies in between the drug and in-active ingredients in the dosage forms. 2. PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY :- For the charecterization of the newly synthesized compounds. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS :- For the qualitative and quantitative study parameters. 4. PHARMACOGNOSY :- For the estimation of natural products by Near-IR spectroscopy and for the structural elucidation of compounds. 5. PHARMACOLGY :- The confirmation of functional groups or basic nucleus of the sample will give basic idea for the acivity ex. if sulphonamide present it is having some antibacterial activity. thank you, the above summerised information got from the following References:- 1.

can u differentiate the interpretations of Enantiomers by IR Spectroscopy? What are the applications of FT-IR over IR Spectroscopy?

M.Bala Vishnu Priya

1.in enantiomers there is no changes or substitution in functional groups but the positions alter will not make any drastic changes in dipolemoment( basic need for exhibiting IR spectrum) hence optical isomers or enatiomers have identical absorption curves. 2.The use of Slow scan interferometer and Rapid scan interferometer will make high resolution IR spectroscopy i.e FT-IR and it is an advansed technique for IR. applications of FT-IR over IR Spectroscopy a. FT-IR gives better spectrum at a resuolution of 4 cm-1. b. examine small size samples c. digital computer data, allows the spectrum of pure compuond to be substracted easily from that of a mixture, easy for component assesment. d.FT-IR measure whole spectrum with accuracy at a time but IR measure only resolution time. thank you for your response , all the above summerized data got from 1.B.K.

How drug excipient interactions and impurities are identified with I.R spectral studies?

M.Bala Vishnu Priya

thank you drug excipient interactions can be studied by IR peaks and are majorly depends on the a. fuctional groups present in drug b. reactable groups of excipients. if nature of excipient not known the following guidline is preferable 1. the IR spectrum of drug only will helps the functional groups present in it.i.e initial step. 2. the spectrum of drug with excipient ofter the prescribed consequtive periods (time limt) from the date of manfacture will be taken . 3. compare the 1st with 2nd and difference in peaks observed. 4. the difference peak was determined based on the literature avilable. examples the drug excipient interactions may leads to ( some of the examples ) a. weak combination and overtone bands in the region of 2000-1600 cm-1. it is because of substitution pattern of rings molecules . b. metal ligand complexes observed at 200-600cm-1 c. convertion of amide groups to lactum a wider functional groups variation. d. molecular interation problems i.e hydrogen bonding. impurity detection by IR peaks very impure samples often give blurred, indistinct spectra. for detection of impurities is same as per the above and some examples given below 1. presence of p-hydroxy benzoic acid in salicylic acid id by two different peaks 1680, 1665cm-1 respectivly. 2. cyclohexanone as impurity in cyclohexanol on account of its intense c=o absorption band thank you all the summerized information( books only) got from the 1.B.K.

Can we differentiate molecules having Carbon with atomic mass no 14 and atomic mass no 12 with IR?

carbon 12 is having 6- protons & 6- nutrons carbon 14 is having 6- protons & 8- nutrons nutrons have neutral charge and the change in number will not effect significantly the dipolemoment of entire molecule. so, the compounds of C-12 &C-14 can not be differentiated by IR

how IR is better than other methods
k.bhavya

in the assesment of drug action the main role is played by the functional groups present in the drug structure. in order to predict the type of activity of drugs we need to id the functional groups i.e done by IR spectroscopy. in comparision with other methods (spectroscopic) the difference in the functional groups will vary the dipole moment and taken as the basis for better interpretaion by IR rather than other. UV-- estimation in presence of any chromophores or auxochromophores NMR-- type of protons and the positional arrangement MASS-- molecular wieght hence, most of the part in structural elucidation is done by IR

what are different amplifiers used
k.bhavya

Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier is commonly used Lock-in Amplifier The signal from the Baratron is passed through a home-built differential dc amplifier, which gives a thirty times gain on the signal, and into the lock-in amplifier. The lockin amplifier is a Stanford Research Systems model SR5 10. It receives the alternating voltage output from the Baratron corresponding the IR-on (chopper open) and IR-off (chopper closed). The reference signal is the voltage signal from the counter which corresponds to the chopper frequency. The sample signal is modulated, filtered and then cross-correlated with the reference frequency. The Baratron signal passes through a low band-pass filter, producing an intensified output signal from the lock in amplifier [Ewing 1997] after establishing the best phase shift to use (between chopper signal and detector signal). The lock-in amplifier produces a flat baseline from the differences in the two measured signals from the Baratron. This removes the requirement to mathematically subtract the increasing (or decreasing) baseline. The baseline contains a large amount of random noise which can be removed either by mathematically averaging the data, or by reducing the sensitivity on the lock-in amplifier to give reduced noise. However, this noise does not cause problems during data collection or analysis. http://ir.canterbury.ac.nz/bitstream/10092/2160/1/Thesis_fulltext.pdf

how can we calibrate IR instrument
k.bhavya

calibration, SOP's of an instrument is varies from company to company but general guidelines of calibration of IR inlcude a. checking of the radiation source b. checking of RH of surronding c. correction of gass related peaks. d. checking of detectors functioning e. performance of Infrared Cells f. performance of Sealed Cells g. calibration of spectrum of sample with standard. general guidelines for Care And Calibration Of Infrared Cells While most cells used in infrared (IR) spectrophotometers are low in cost compared to the basic instrument, they are not inexpensive. A little extra care will enable IR cells to be used for years. Most IR crystals are hygroscopic, and should be stored in a low humidity area, such as a desiccator. Less than 35% relative humidity is desirable. The useful frequency range of IR materials is listed in McCarthy Application Sheet No. 1. IR cells are usually filled with a hypodermic syringe. When filling cells, do it slowly and gently. Fast filling builds up tremendous pressure inside the cell resulting in a cell that leaks. Place the cell into the instrument and run the spectrum immediately in case the cell leaks or a volatile sample evaporates. Clean the cell right after running the spectrum to prevent damage to the crystals. As a general guideline use a 0.025 mm pathlength cell for a 100% solution, a 0.10 mm pathlength for a 10% solution and 1.0 mm pathlength for a 1% solution. Remove the sample solution by pulling as much sample out as possible with a hypodermic syringe and then blow dry air through the cell with an IR Cell Cleaner (Part# 030) or a syringe. A vacuum can also be drawn gently through the cell to remove the sample. If the sample is a mixture, rinse the cell with the solvent used in the mixture and then blow dry air through the cell. When the cell is clean, put it back into a desiccator to prevent fogging. The pathlength of new cells should be calibrated when received and then checked periodically as the pathlength can increase with use. Calibration Of Sealed Cells The thickness of infrared sealed cells can be measured accurately by the interference fringe method. Any infrared spectrophotometer will do. Adjust the spectrophotometer for a 100% T run. Put the empty cell into the cell holder in the sample beam. Scan through a wide enough frequency range to get at least ten fringes. For linear wavelength instruments, Long pathlength cells, 1.0 mm or greater, will not show a fringe pattern on low resolution spectrophotometers. These long pathlength cells can be calibrated by measuring the absorbance of some bands in a liquid sample. The absorbance of these bands can then be compared to the absorbance of the same bands measured in a shorter pathlength cell. The pathlength of a 0.1 mm or 0.2 mm cell can be measured by the interference fringe method. The short pathlength cell is filled with a liquid sample and the absorbance of some weak and medium intensity bands is measured. Then the long pathlength cell is filled with the same liquid and the absorbance of the same bands is measured. By using Beer's Law and taking a ratio of the absorbance, the pathlength can be calculated for more informaton pls reffer www.mccarthyscientific.com web march 26 2010 www.aspbooks.org. web march 26 2010. www.springerlink.com web march 26 2010.
