Reverse-phase LC method development and validation for the quantification of acetazolamide and its specified and unspecified degradation products in hard gelatin capsule formulations

Gefitinib (GFT) sold under the brand name Iressa, is a medication used to treat certain type of breast, lung and other cancers, Gefitinib was subject to stress degradation under acidic, basic, peroxide mediated oxidation, photolytic and thermal degradation. The stress degradation was performed according to ICH guidelines Q1A(R2) and the drug was inert under thermal and photolytic conditions. One degradant is identified in acid hydrolysis referred as 7-methoxy-6-(3-morpholinopropoxy) quinazolin-4(3H)-one (GFT-DP1) and two degradants were formed in peroxide mediated hydrolysis referred as 4-(3-((4-((3- chloro-4-fluorophenyl)amino)-7-methoxy-1-oxidoquinazolin-6-yl)oxy)-propyl)morpholine-4-oxide (GFT-DP2) and 4-(3-((4-((3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)amino)-7-methoxyquinazolin-6-yl)oxy)-propyl)- morpholine-4-oxide (GFT-DP3). In present study, all the novel three degradation product structures were confirmed by HRMS and 1D (1H, 13C) and 2D (COSY, HSQC and HMBC) based on 1D and 2D NMR data proton and carbon chemical shift values assigned exactly for all degradation products. A stability indicating RP-UPLC method was developed and validated with shorter run time and this method was validated in terms of linearity, specificity, accuracy, LOD and LOQ.

Objective: Our main objective is to develop an accurate and precise RP-HPLC method for the determination of Eprosartan Mesylate and its impurities. Methods: A Develosil ODS UG-5; (150 × 4.6) mm; 5 µm column was used for the Separation of drugs by a mobile phase consisting of Buffer and Acetonitrile mixture in the gradient proportion. The flow rate maintained was 0.8 ml/min and the wavelength used for detection was 235 nm.Results: The linearity was observed in the range of 0.025-50µg/ml of spiked impurities in Eprosartan Mesylate, impurity 1 and impurity 2 with a correlation coefficient of 0.99927, 0.99910 and 0.99934 respectively. The mean percentage recoveries for LOQ, 50%, 80%, 100%, 150% and 200% accuracy were found to be 101.5±1.51, 107.0±1.7, 104.6±0.4, 102.8±0.36, 101.7±0.26 and 101.3±0.15 respectively for impurities in Eprosartan Mesylate, impurity 1 and impurity 2. Linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness parameters for the suggested method were estimated for validation.Conclusion: The developed method is uncomplicated, accurate, sensitive and precise for the determination of related substances in the Eprosartan Mesylate. The satisfying % recoveries and low % RSD Values confirmed the suitability of the developed method for the usual analysis of Eprosartan mesylate in pharmaceuticals.
