Different Mathematical Spectrophotometric Methods for Determination of Lesinurad in the Presence of its Oxidative Degradation Product

摘要： Lesinurad is a novel selective uric acid reabsorption inhibitor which has been recently approved for the treatment of the chronic gout. Four simple mathematical spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the quantitative and selective determination of lesinurad in the presence of its oxidative degradation product. Complete oxidative degradation of lesinurad to its degradation product has been done. The developed methods namely, ratio difference spectrophotometric, first derivative of the ratio spectra, mean centering of the ratio spectra and continuous wavelet transform spectrophotometric methods. These methods have been developed and optimized to resolve the existed overlapping between the zero order UV absorption spectra of lesinurad and its oxidative degradation product. The described spectrophotometric methods have achieved selective determination of lesinurad without any interference from the oxidative degradation product. Also, they have been validated and applied for quantitative analysis of the studied drug in its new pharmaceutical preparation.
