Abstract The purpose of this work was to develop a sensitive, selective, and validated stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic (LC) assay of atorvastatin (ATV) in bulk drug and tablet form. ATV was subjected to different stress conditions, including UV light, oxidation, acid-base hydrolysis, and temperature. ATV and its degradation products were analyzed on an Agilent Zorbax XDB C18 column using isocratic elution with acetonitrile0.02 M sodium acetate, pH 4.2 (45 + 55, v/v) for 25 min. The samples were monitored with fluorescence (FL) detection at 282 nm (excitation)/400 nm (emission). The response ratio of FL to UV detection (at 247 nm) for ATV was 1.66. The method showed good resolution of ATV from its decomposition products. The photodegradation products were separated by silica gel thin-layer chromatography using double development with ethyl acetaten-hexaneglacial acetic acidmethanol (40 + 55 + 0.5 + 4.5, v/v/v/v) followed by (39 + 55 + 0.5 + 5.5, v/v/v/v), and confirmed by LC-FL analysis. The FL response was linear over the investigated range for ATV. The linear range was 101200 ng/injection, and the limit of quantitation was 2.0 ng/injection.

A stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed with short run time and validated for the assay of process related impurities of pantoprazole in bulk form. Resolution of drug, its potential impurities and degradation products were achieved on a Hypersil ODS column utilizing a gradient with 0.01 M phosphate buffer of pH 7 and acetonitrile as eluent, at the detection wavelength of 290 nm. Flow rate was set at 1 mL min-1. The procedure was found to be specific, linear (r=0.999), recovery (97.9-103%), LOD (0.043-0.047 µgmL-1), LOQ (0.13-0.14 µgmL-1) and robust. Acceptable robustness indicates that the assay method remains unaffected by small but deliberate variations. Pantoprazole was found to degrade in acidic, oxidative and under photolytic stress conditions. The drug was stable to alkaline and dry heat conditions. This method has been successively applied to pharmaceutical formulation and no interference from the excipients was found.

A sensitive, selective, precise and stability-indicating, new high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of carvedilol both as a bulk drug and in formulations was developed and validated. As the method could effectively separate the drug from its degradation products, it can be employed as a stability-indicating one. The method was validated for linearity, selectivity, precision, robustness, LOD, LOQ and accuracy. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Chromolit RP8e, 100x4.6 mm, analytical column. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile and water (45:55, V/V) (pH 2.5), pH adjusted with formic acid. The absorbance was monitored with a UV detector at 280 nm and the temperature of the analyses was 40?C. The flow rate was 0.5 mL/min. The linearity (r? 0.999), reproducibility (0.68-1.27 %) and recovery (99.71-101.58) were found to be satisfactory. This method enables the simultaneous determination of carvedilol and its degradation products, as well as stability. .

Background:The unstable and/or toxic degradation products may form due to degradation of drug which results into loss of therapeutic activity and lead to life threatening condition. Hence, it is important to establish the stability characteristics of drug in various conditions such as in temperature, light, oxidising agent and susceptibility across a wide range of pH values.Introduction:The aim of the proposed study was to develop simple, sensitive and economic stability indicating high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method for the quantification of Amoxapine in the presence of degradation products.Methods:Amoxapine and its degraded products were separated on precoated silica gel 60F254 TLC plates by using mobile phase comprising of methanol: toluene: ammonium acetate (6:3:1, v/v/v). The densitometric evaluation was carried out at 320 nm in reflectance/absorbance mode. The degradation products obtained as per ICH guidelines under acidic, basic and oxidative conditions have different Rf values 0.12, 0.26 and 0.6 indicating good resolution from each other and pure drug with Rf: 0.47. Amoxapine was found to be stable under neutral, thermal and photo conditions.Results:The method was validated as per ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines in terms of accuracy, precision, ruggedness, robustness and linearity. A good linear relationship between concentration and response (peak area and peak height) over the range of 80 ng/spot to 720 ng/spot was observed from regression analysis data showing correlation coefficient 0.991 and 0.994 for area and height, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) for area were found to be 1.176 ng/mL and 3.565 ng/mL, whereas for height, 50.063 ng/mL and 151.707 ng/mL respectively.Conclusion:The statistical analysis confirmed the accuracy, precision and selectivity of the proposed method which can be effectively used for the analysis of amoxapine in the presence of degradation products.

The present work describes development and validation of a specific, sensitive, precise and stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic method of analysis of atorvastatin calcium and celecoxib, both as a bulk drug and in niosomal formulation. The analysis has been performed by using Cosmosil-C18 column (4.6 mm´250 mm, 5 m) at 25 °C using acetonitrile: ammonium acetate buffer pH 5.0: methanol (50:25:25 v/v/v) as mobile phase. The detection was carried out at 277nm with a flow rate of 1.0mL/min. The retention times of Atorvastatin calcium and Celecoxib were 6.195 and 3.989min, respectively. The method was validated according to ICH guidelines, for specificity, precision, linearity, accuracy and robustness. Atorvastatin calcium and Celecoxib were subjected to stress conditions of hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis and thermal degradation. The degradation was observed in oxidation and acid hydrolysis. The linearity for atorvastatin calcium and celecoxib were in the range of 100-500 µg/mL. The recovery study of atorvastatin and celecoxib were found to be in the range of 98.96 - 99.92% and 98.90-100%, respectively. The proposed method was validated and successfully applied to the estimation of Atorvastatin calcium and Celecoxib in combined in-house niosomal formulation.

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.

Abstract A novel, delicate, stability-indicating, gradient, reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been established for the quantitative estimation of methocarbamol (MTC) and its impurities present in a pharmaceutical oral suspension. XBridge C18, 5 μm, 250 mm × 4.6 mm column was used to accomplish chromatographic separation with a buffered mobile phase consisting of a mixture of 0.01 M of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 7.0 buffer) and methanol in the ratio of 95:05 (v/v), respectively, were used as solvent A and a mixture of methanol and Milli-Q water in the ratio 90:10 (v/v), respectively, was used as solvent B. Analysis was carried out at 0.8 mL/min flow rate and the detection wavelength at 225 nm. The compartment temperature of the column is put at 25°C. The resolution of MTC and its four impurities has been attained >2.0 for all pairs of compounds. Significant degradation of MTC was photolytic, thermal and oxidative stress conditions. Validation of the developed method was performed as stated by the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines with regard to all validation parameters like specificity, accuracy, linearity, precision, limit of detection, limit of quantitation and robustness.
