A REVIEW ON ANALYTICAL METHOD OF DRUGS USED FOR PANDEMIC COVID-19 TREATMENT Authors: Akshaya B , M. VIJEY AANANDHI AND SUMITHRA M*
ABSTRACT
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Drugs such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor
blockers (ARBs) including tocilizumab, have been used to treat autoimmune conditions used
in the treatment of covid-19. Remdesivir is a nucleoside analog used to treat RNA virus
infections including COVID-19 and is validated using the LC-MS method Favipiravir is an
antiviral used to manage influenza, and that has the potential to target other viral infections
and favipiravir was validated using the HPLC-UV method. Azithromycin is a macrolide
antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Method development and validation
for azithromycin were performed using the HPLC method. Dexamethasone is a
glucocorticoid available in various modes of administration that is used for the treatment of
various inflammatory conditions, including bronchial asthma, as well as endocrine and
rheumatic disorders. Dexamethasone was validated using the RP-HPLC method.
Hydroxychloroquine is an antimalarial drug used to treat uncomplicated malaria patients and
it was validated using the HPLC method. Omicron is a new variant in covid-19, the rise of
the alpha, beta, and delta SARS-CoV-2 VOCs were related to new waves of contaminations,
once in a while across worldwide.
