Objective: The present study describes the stability indicating reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for simultaneous estimation of 5-fluorouracil and tegafur in pharmaceutical dosage forms.Method: 5-fluorouracil and tegafur the propose RP-HPLC method were developed by using Shimadzu Prominence-i LC-2030 HPLC system equipped with UV detector and chromatographic separation was carried on shim-pack gist c18 (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μ) column at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and the run time was 10 min. The mobile phase consisted of methanol and water in the ratio of 50:50% v/v and elements were scanned using a UV detector at 271 nm.Result: The retention time of 5-fluorouracil and tegafur was found to be 2.74 and 3.66 min, respectively. A linearity response was observed in the concentration range of 13.4 μg/ml–31.3 μg/ml for 5-fluorouracil and 6 μg/ml–14 μg/ml for tegafur, respectively. Limit of detection and limit of quantification of 5-fluorouracil were 10.97 μg/ml and 33.26 μg/ml and for tegafur are 4.89 μg/ml and 14.83 μg/ml, respectively.Conclusion: The stability indicating that the method was developed by subjecting drugs to stress conditions such as acid and base hydrolysis, oxidation, photo and thermal degradation, and degraded products formed were resolved successfully from samples.

Objective: The present study describes the stability indicating reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for simultaneous estimation of salbutamol sulfate (SAL), etofylline (ETO), and bromhexine hydrochloride (BROM) in pharmaceutical dosage forms.Methods: The proposed RP-HPLC method was developed using Shimadzu prominence-i LC-2030 HPLC system equipped with ultraviolet (UV) detector and chromatographic separation was achieved isocratically using Shim-pack C18 (250 mm×4.6mm, 5 μ) column at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and the run time was 13 min. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile: 0.1M potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (35:65) with pH adjusted to 3.0 and eluents were scanned using UV detector at 225 nm.Result: The retention time of SAL, ETO, and BROM was found to be 2.319 min, 2.698 min, and 10.329 min, respectively. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration ranges of 1.6–3.2 μg/ml, 160–320 μg/ml, and 6.4–12.8 μg/ml for SAL, ETO, and BROM, respectively.Conclusion: The stability indicating method was developed by subjecting the drugs to stress conditions such as acid and base hydrolysis, oxidation, humidity, and photo- and thermal degradation and the degraded products formed were resolved successfully from the samples. Therefore, the proposed method can be used as a more convenient and efficient option for the simultaneous estimation of all the three drugs in bulk and combined

OBJECTIVE Ambrisentan, an endothelin receptor antagonist FDA-approved for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension in adult patients, lacks an acceptable pediatric dosage form. The objective of this investigation was to determine the stability of an extemporaneously compounded ambrisentan suspension. METHODS Ambrisentan suspension was compounded to a concentration of 1 mg/mL using commercially available suspending agents. The suspension was then evenly split into 2 plastic amber prescription bottles. One bottle was stored at room temperature and under continuous fluorescent light while the other bottle was stored under refrigeration and protection from light. A fast and selective reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the analysis of ambrisentan. HPLC analysis was performed on samples withdrawn from the stock bottles at predetermined time intervals, up to 90 days. RESULTS The developed HPLC method enabled the elution and detection of ambrisentan peak at 4.4 minutes. HPLC analysis revealed that all samples from both storage conditions retained >90% potency throughout the study timeframe. There were no signs of any ambrisentan breakdown products on HPLC analysis. Color and odor of the final product was also consistent throughout the 90-day storage period. CONCLUSION Ambrisentan suspension, compounded to 1 mg/mL, is stable at room temperature or under refrigeration for up to 90 days.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chiral stability of clopidogrel bisulfate in an extemporaneously compounded oral suspension for a period of 60 days. METHODS A 5 mg/mL oral suspension of clopidogrel bisulfate was prepared from commercially available Plavix tablets. The clopidogrel suspension was then evenly divided between two light-resistant prescription bottles and stored either under refrigeration (4°C) or at room temperature (25°C). Samples were drawn from the stored suspensions immediately after preparation and on days 7, 14, 28, and 60. Samples were subsequently analyzed at each time point by high-performance liquid chromatography using a reversed-phase column, with chemical stability defined as the retention of at least 90% of the initial intact clopidogrel concentration measured. To determine the chiral stability of the suspension, samples were also analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography using a chiral column to investigate possible enantiomeric inversion. Chiral stability was defined as the retention of at least 90% of the initial concentration of the suspension as the S-enantiomer, the active moiety of Plavix. RESULTS Regardless of storage conditions, the oral suspension of clopidogrel retained at least 98% of the active S-enantiomer for 60 days after preparation. Compared with the clopidogrel suspension stored in the refrigerator, more chiral inversion was noted in the clopidogrel suspension stored at room temperature. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation of chiral stability indicates that a 5 mg/mL clopidogrel oral suspension stored under refrigeration and at room temperature maintains chiral stability as the active S-enantiomer.
