Simple, sensitive, accurate, precise and rapid ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometric method was developed for the estimation of efavirenz in pure form, its formulations and stability samples. For the estimation of efavirenz, solvent system employed was 1% w/v sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and wavelength of detection (λdet) was 247 nm. The developed method was used to estimate the total drug content in two commercially available oral formulations of efavirenz and recovery studies were also carried out. Sample recovery in both the formulations using the above method was in good agreement with their respective labeled claims, thus suggesting the validity of the method and non-interference of formulation excipients in the estimation. The developed method was found to be stability specific and were validated as per ICH guidelines-2005, USP-2000 and statistical methods.

This study was performed with an objective of developing and validating an UV-spectroscopic method for estimating contents of prulifloxacin in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) i.e. phosphate- buffer media with a pH of 6.8 as per ICH guidelines. The λmax for prulifloxacin in phosphate- buffer media pH 6.8 was found to be 272 nanometer. The calibration curve of drug followed linearity in-between 1-9 μg/ml concentration range and correlation co-efficient value was found equal to 0.9995. We tested this proposed method onto the bulk and marketed pharmaceutical formulation (tablets) also in order to find out contents of drug. Using developed method for estimation of prulifloxacin in SIF, drug was found to be in-between 101.91 and 104.02 % in marketed tablets which shows a good agreement with that of the claimed level. Accuracy of developed method was established through recovery experimentation, performed for three spiked percent concentrations- 75%, 100%, and 125%. The % recovery was found to be in between 97.27 and 101.82%. Low values of % RSD supported accuracy as well as the reproducibility of developed method. Precision of developed method was established by good in-limit intraday and interday experimental variations and through repeatability tests. Values of % RSD less than 2 confirmed about precision of developed method. The ruggedness of the developed method was validated by performing drug estimation by two different performers. This proposed spectroscopic method has proved to be a rapid and successful method for routine analysis of prulifloxacin in simulated intestinal fluid.

Aim: EPAS (evaporative precipitation into aqueous solution) was used in the current studies to prepare azithromycin nanosuspensions and investigate the physicochemical characteristics for the nanosuspension batches with the aim of enhancing the dissolution rate of the nanopreparation to improve bioavailability. Methods: EPAS method used in this study for preparing azithromycin nanosuspension was achieved through developing an in-house instrumentation method. Particle size distribution was measured using Zetasizer Nano S without sample dilution. Dissolved azithromycin nanosuspensions were also compared with raw azithromycin powder and commercially available products. Total drug content of nanosuspension batches were measured using an Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) system with Photodiode Array (PDA) detector while residual solvent was measured using gas chromatography (GC). Results: The average particle size of azithromycin nanosuspension was 447.2 nm and total drug content was measured to be 97.81% upon recovery. Dissolution study data showed significant increase in dissolution rate for nanosuspension batch when compared to raw azithromycin and commercial version (microsuspension). The residual solvent found for azithromycin nanosuspension is 0.000098023 mg/ mL or 98.023 ppb. Conclusion: EPAS was successfully used to prepare azithromycin nanoparticles that exhibited significantly enhanced dissolution rate. Further studies are required to scale up the process and determine long term stability of the nanoparticles.

The present research was aimed to formulate and evaluate Lansoprazole delayed release multiple unit pellets in capsules. Lansoprazole degrades in the acidic environment of the stomach. It is also unstable under conditions of high temperature and high humidity which leads to therapeutic inefficiency. Hence it is important to bypass the acidic pH of the stomach. Protection of drug from acidic environment is done by coating the drug with enteric polymer. In the present study, successive layers of drug layer, barrier layer and enteric layer was coated on the inert sugar spheres by using solution/suspension layering technique in Fluidized bed processor (FBP). The prepared drug layered and barrier layered pellets were evaluated for % yield. The prepared lubricated pellets were evaluated for flow properties i.e., bulk density, tapped density, compressibility index and hausner’s ratio. Lubricated pellets filled into size ‘1’ capsules and evaluated for drug content, drug content resisted in acid, invitro drug release studies and compared with the marketed product. The dissimilarity and similarity factors for the optimized and marketed formulations were found to be 84.29. Accelerated Stability Testing (AST) was performed as per the ICH guidelines at 40±5°C/75±5% RH for 6 months and found satisfactory.

A simple, fast, accurate and precise reverse phase HPLC method is developed and described for the determination of ramelteon in tablet dosage form. Chromatography was carried on an ODS column using a mixture of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer pH 7.0 (35:65 V/V) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with detection at 286 nm. The retention time of the drug was 7.7 min. The procedure was validated for linearity, precision, accuracy, and robustness. The developed method was validated for linearity from 50 to 150% which shows the method is quite linear with a correlation coefficient of 0.999, for precision which includes system precision, method precision, intraday and by another analyst on another day, and accuracy. The %RSD for system precision was observed to be 1.1, whereas the method precision was observed to be 0.2. The % recovery from ‘accuracy’ studies yielded the recovery of 99.7-101.5% which indicates the capability of the method, and finally for robustness that includes studies w.r.t. change in flow rate, the percentage of organic modifier and pH. As per ICH guidelines, method validation results are in good agreement. The proposed method was simple, sensitive, precise and accurate.
