Quetiapine fumarate is a new generation atypical antipsychotic drug indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and related psychoses. Various analytical methods used for the estimation of quetiapine has been reviewed in this paper. These include Ultraviolet spectrometry, High performance thin layer chromatography, High performance liquid chromatography, Potentiometry, Polarography, Ion titrimetry and Voltametry to determine the amount of quetiapine fumarate in bulk drugs, pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids. Stability indicating and impurity profiling methods for quetiapine are also described. These analytical methods can be used for qualitative and quantitative estimation of quetiapine and / or its related impurities or degradants in bulk, formulation and biological fluids.

This study aimed at comparing the disintegrant properties of three potato starches with Maize starch BP as well as effect of method of incorporation of disintegrant on release of paracetamol tablet formulation. The disintegrant property was assessed by both disintegration and dissolution times of the formulation. The results showed that tablets produced with potato starch were similar in disintegration and dissolution times with those formulated with Maize starch BP. Disintegrants employed extra-granularly showed better disintegration than intra-granular or intra-extra-granular. Therefore the potato starches can be used as a disintegrant in paracetamol tablets formulation
