A stability-indicating method has been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of memantine hydrochloride and its nonchromophoric impurities in drug substance and drug product using gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The stability-indicating nature of the method has been proved by establishing peak purity and confirming the mass balance of all samples by subjecting them to stress conditions like hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis, and thermal degradation studies. The chromatographic separation was performed on a fused silica capillary (HP-5, 30 meter, 0.32 mm and 0.25 μm film thickness) column. The method validation results indicate that the method has acceptable specificity, accuracy, linearity, precision, robustness, and high sensitivity with detection limits and quantitation limits ranging from 0.001% to 0.01% and 0.004% to 0.03%, respectively. The effectiveness of the technique was demonstrated by analysis of different bulk sample of Memantine hydrochloride. The proposed GC-FID method was also found to be specific and selective for the analysis of commercial formulation samples.

A short selective, precise, accurate and sensitive stability-indicating gradient LC-MS/MSn method was developed for the quantitative determination of process-related impurities and degradation products of Levosalbutamol in pharmaceutical respules formulations. During the stress study, the degradation products of Levosalbutamol were well-resolved from Levosalbutamol and its impurities and the mass balances were found to be satisfactory in all the stress conditions, thus proving the stability-indicating capability of the method. The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines with respect to specificity, linearity, limit of detection and quantification, accuracy, precision, ruggedness, and robustness. During the stability analysis of the drug product, one unknown impurity was detected by the above stability-indicating method. The flow rate was 0.8 ml/min and effluent was monitored at 242nm. Retention time was found to be 2.237±0.08 min. The LOD and LOQ values were found to be 0.20984 (μg/ml) and 0.6359 (μg/ml) respectively.

Leaves of Eucalytus globulus Labill are characterized by the presence of essential oil, in which 1,8-cineole is the main component. The oil is used as an expectorant for symptomatic treatment of mild inflammation of the respiratory tract and bronchitis. This work addresses the chemical quantification of the constituents of E. globulus essential oil by gas chromatography. Commercial samples were diluted and analyzes by gas chromatograph coupled to flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The chromatographic separation was performed on a fused silica capillary (LM-20, 30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25 μm film thickness) column. The proposed GC-FID method has demonstrated to have specificity and high sensitivity. The quantitation by the normalization technique demonstrated to be adequate for the analysis. Thus, the proposed method is effective for the quantification of E. globulus oil constituents, which may help in the quality control of commercial formulations.

Abstract A new, simple and stability-indicating gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) method was developed and validated for the quantitative determination of busulfan and its organic impurities (OI) in drug substance without derivatization. The chromatographic attributes were achieved on a fused silica capillary column (0.53 mm × 30 m, 1.0 μm, USP Phase G42), using hydrogen as a carrier gas with a split ratio of 1:1. Forced degradation studies were conducted to establish the stability-indicating capability and method specificity that showed the stressed busulfan peak was free from any co-elution. Robustness study demonstrated the chromatograms remained mostly unaffected under deliberate, but small variations of chromatographic parameters, establishing the reliability of the method during routine usage. The method was shown to be reliable, sensitive, specific, linear, accurate, precise and rugged in the 1,4-butanediol concentration range of 1–20 μg/mL. The method, intended for compendial uses, is suitable for quantitative analysis of busulfan and its organic impurities in drug substances.

Abstract A stability-indicating micellar electrokineticchromatography (MEKC) method was developed and validated for simultaneous analysis of delapril (DEL) and manidipine (MAN) using salicylic acid as an internal standard. The MEKC method was performed using a fused-silica capillary (effective length of 72 cm) with 50 mM of borate buffer and 5 mM of anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate at pH9.0 as the background electrolyte. The separationwas achieved at 25 kV applied voltage and 35°C. The injection was performed at 50 mbar for5s, with detection at 208 nm. The method was linear in the range of 15–150 μg/mL (r2 = 0.9966) for DEL and 5–50 μg/mL (r2 = 0.9985) for MAN with adequate results for the precision (≤1.87%) and accuracy (98.94% for DEL and 100.65% for MAN). The specificity of the method and its stability-indicating capability was demonstrated through forced degradation studies, which showed that there was no interference from the excipients. The Plackett-Burman experimental design was used for robustness evaluation, giving results within the acceptable range. The method was successfully applied for analysis of the drugs, and the results were compared to an LC method, resulting in nonsignificant differences (P = 0.78 and0.84 for DEL and MAN, respectively).
