n this article we described the development and validation of stability indicating, accurate, precise and simple ion-pairing
RP-HPLC method for simultaneous determination of paracetamol and cetirizine HCl along with preservatives i.e.,
propylparaben and methylparaben in pharmaceutical dosage forms of oral solution and in serum. Acetonitrile: buffer: sulfuric
Acid (45:55:0.3 v/v/v) was the mobile phase at flow rate 1.0 mL min-1 using a Hibar® Lichrosorb® C18 column and monitored
at wavelength of 230 nm. The averages of the absolute and relative recoveries were found to be 99.3%, 99.5%, 99.8% and
98.7% with correlation coefficient of 0.9977, 0.9998, 0.9984, and 0.9997 for cetirizine HCl, paracetamol, methylparaben and
propylparaben, respectively. The limit of quantification and limit of detection were in range of 0.3-2.7 ng mL
-1
and 0.1-0.8 ng
mL
-1
, respectively. Under stress conditions of acidic, basic, oxidative, and thermal degradation, maximum degradation was
observed in basic and oxidative stress where a significant impact was observed, while all drugs were found almost stable in the
other conditions. The developed method was validated in accordance to ICH and AOAC guidelines. The proposed method was
successfully applied to quantify the amount of paracetamol, cetirizine HCl and two most common microbial preservatives in
bulk, dosage form and physiological fluid.

T
he main objective of this research was to compare the content of ascorbic acid peppers (
Capsicum annuum
), in state of
ripening green and red of the same variety. Pepper extract was obtained by crushing the fruit in a porcelain mortar, the
liquid obtained was filtered on filter paper. For determining the content of ascorbic acid is used linear sweep voltammetry
using three electrodes; as working electrode a platinum wire of high purity, glassy carbon as working electrode and reference
electrode Ag/AgCl/KCl. A pattern of ascorbic acid and a solution of HNO
3
and 0.1M NaNO
3
as supporting electrolyte were
used for the calibration curve. The results indicate that, green pepper has an average concentration of 1680 ppm of ascorbic
acid, and red pepper reached a value of 2283 ppm. These results are superior to those obtained by Chaves et al., in pepper by
HPLC. In this case, values of 1000 ppm to 1500 ppm for green pepper and red pepper were found respectively.
