The paper develops “green” spectrophotometric and HPLC methods to quantify the pharmaceutical compound metoclopramide in product formulations. For spectrophotometry, metoclopramide absorbance was measured directly at 273 nm using ultrapure water as solvent, while the HPLC method used an Extend C18 column with an ethanol/formic acid mobile phase (pH 2.0, 30:70 v/v), isocratic elution at 1.0 mL/min, and detection at 273 nm. The authors report that both methods were economical, rapid (within 5 minutes), environmentally friendly, and produced results without matrix interference, with statistical comparison showing no significant difference between methods. A major caveat explicitly stated is that the work is a preprint and not yet peer reviewed by a journal. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Green spectrophotometric and HPLC methods have been developed for the quantification of metoclopramide. In the spectrophotometric method, it was determined by direct absorbance measurement at 273 nm wavelength using ultrapure water as solvent. The Extend C18 column was used for the HPLC method. The mobile phase system consisted of a combination of ethanol and formic acid solution (pH 2.0; 30:70 v/v). Isocratic elution was applied and the flow rate was set at 1.0 mL min − 1 . Metoclopramide was detected at 273 nm. The methods performed were economical, rapid, environmentally friendly, and simple, providing metoclopramide analysis within 5 minutes. The methods have been successfully applied in pharmaceutical products without matrix interference. The results of the application of the developed methods to pharmaceutical products were statistically compared and no significant difference was observed between the methods. In addition, the greenness assessment of the developed methods was performed using AGREE software. The developed methods are proposed as excellent environmental and operator-friendly alternatives for the quantification of metoclopramide in pharmaceutical formulations.
