An important aspect in the pharmaceutical development of dental medicines is to provide them with a prolonged therapeutic effect while reducing the side effects of drug substances and the possibility of long-term use. This can be achieved by using active components of plant origin. Aim. To develop methods for analyzing biologically active substances in the composition of a new combined dental gel. Materials and methods. The study object was a dental gel containing “Phytodent” complex tincture (PJSC “CPP Chervona zirka”, Ukraine). Based on the analysis of the composition of the tincture it was proposed to carry out standardization by the amount of biologically active substances, namely flavonoids. Identification was carried out by TLC, while the quantitative determination by absorption spectrophotometry, the ultraviolet and visible method by the reaction with aluminum chloride using the standard method calculated with reference to rutin and the absorbance measurement at 406 nm. Results and discussion. As a result of the research, the methods for the analysis of flavonoids in the composition of the new combined gel have been developed. The spectrophotometric method developed is characterized by specificity, accuracy, precision and linearity with r = 0.9998. One of the important issues when using components of plant origin is their stability both during preparation and storage. Using the method developed the stability of flavonoids has been studied depending on pH changes of the carbomer-based dental gel. Conclusions. It has been determined that the methods developed are easily reproducible and allow to identifying and quantifying flavonoids in the dental gel. It has been found that a stable content of flavonoids is characteristic of the carbomer-based gel neutralized to pH values from 5.0 to 6.0. |
