Abstract The objective of the current study was to develop a validated stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic method for alprazolam and sertraline in combined dosage forms. The method was validated by subjecting the drugs to forced decomposition under hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis, and thermal stress conditions prescribed by the International Conference on Harmonization. The drugs were successfully separated from major and minor degradation products on a reversed-phase C18 column by using 75 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 4.3)acetonitrilemethanol (50 45 5, v/v/v) as the mobile phase with determination at 227 nm. The flow rate was 0.9 mL/min. The method was validated with respect to linearity, precision, accuracy, system suitability, and robustness. The responses were linear over the ranges of 180 and 5200 g/mL for alprazolam and sertraline, respectively. The recoveries of both drugs from a mixture of degradation products were in the range of 97101. The utility of the procedure was verified by its application to marketed formulations that were subjected to accelerated stability studies. The method distinctly separated the drugs and degradation products, even in actual samples. The products formed in marketed tablets were similar to those formed during stress studies.

Abstract An isocratic HPLC method was developed and validated for the quantitation of methocarbamol in the presence of its degradation products. Quantitation was achieved using a reversed-phase C18 column at ambient temperature with mobile phase consisting of methanolwatertetrahydrofuran (25 + 65 + 10, v/v). The flow rate was 0.9 mL/min. The detection was by UV light at 274 nm. The proposed method was validated for selectivity, precision, linearity, and accuracy. The assay method was found to be linear from 159.0 to 793.2 g/mL (3.2 to 15.9 g injected). All validation parameters were within the acceptable range. The developed method was successfully applied to estimate the amount of methocarbamol in a veterinary injection.
