Review of characteristics and analytical methods for determination of indomethacin

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the first choice of treatment for rheumatic disorders and other degenerative inflammatory diseases. One of them, indomethacin, is highlighted in this manuscript. With its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties, it is one of the most powerful drugs used in various clinical trials and therapies related to the mechanism of blocking prostaglandin synthesis, thus reducing and eliminating many inflammatory conditions in patients. To ensure the efficacy and safety of this drug in pharmaceutical and clinical use, precise product quality control is required. Such control is performed with routine pharmaceutical analysis using various chemical methods by which indomethacin is identified as a separate active ingredient in the multicomponent system of a complete pharmaceutical form. In addition, the determination of indomethacin is important in clinical practice, where its concentration is determined in different biological samples, ensuring better monitoring of a particular therapy. The most commonly used methods for the determination of indomethacin are: high performance liquid chromatography (37% of developed methods), voltammetry (16% of developed methods), and UV spectroscopy (11% of developed methods). However, each of these methods must provide precise validation parameters. A combination of analytical methods can lead to more precise results and safer application in practice.
