ABSTRACT

Nicotine, is an alkaloid found in different amounts ranging from 2% to 14% in the leaves of Nicotiana rustica, Nicotiana tobacum, Duboisia hopwoodii, and Asclepias syriaca. The main perspective of this work is to extract and isolate nicotine from various brands of paan masala and perform chemical test and analytical studies on it. UV and IR parameters are applied for the purpose of standardization of it, after the isolation. Then the method development through UV is done and is compared with the standard nicotine solution. The approach is suitable for use in the regular analysis of nicotine and does not result in any influence from excipients. A straightforward method that makes use of UV-visible spectrophotometry and may produce accurate results has been developed for detecting the quantity of nicotine that is included in a nicotine gum. A linear response was observed when the levels of nicotine concentration were studied, which ranged from 0.2 to 2.4 micrograms per millilitre. The analysis of the pharmaceutical formulation that was conducted utilising the proposed method gave results that are extremely reproducible and reliable, as well as consistent with the label claims. The procedure for estimating the quantity of nicotine that was present was not hindered in any way by the substances that are commonly included in pharmaceutical preparations.
