A doctoral dissertation at the College of Science, University of Kirkuk, explored the development of analytical methods for the estimation of certain drugs using newly prepared organic reagents. The dissertation highlighted the development, improvement, and validation of accurate analytical methods for the estimation of three important drugs: Sulfamethoxazole (SMX), Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), and Procaine (PCA), in their pure form and in pharmaceutical preparations. The research, presented by student Marwa Mahmoud Abdullah, aimed to design advanced spectroscopic techniques based on oxidative and diazote coupling reactions, which contribute to enhancing the sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of analytical measurements. It also aimed to prepare and use extracted nanomaterials to fabricate ion-selective electrodes (potentiometric ISEs), with the goal of providing rapid, low-cost, and environmentally friendly analytical methods, especially in cases where traditional spectroscopic methods have limited efficiency.
