Abstract Background Tablet dosage forms containing combination of darunavir a protease inhibitor, cobicistat a cytochrome P450 3A inhibitor, emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide which were nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors were approved by USFDA on 1st July 2018 to suppress the viral load in HIV patients. It can be used as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and paediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg. An UPLC method was developed, and separation was done on SB C8 column of dimensions 50 × 2.1 × 1.8 μ with mobile phase 0.01 N potassium dihydrogen ortho phosphate (pH-4.8) and acetonitrile in 60:40 ratio, at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min and an injection volume of 2 μL. The column temperature was maintained at 30 °C, and detection wavelength was 267 nm. The method was validated according to ICH guidelines. Results The retention times were 1.031, 1.341, 1.630 and 2.153 min, and they were linear in the concentration range of 1.25–7.5 μg/mL, 18.75–112.5 μg/mL, 25–150 μg/mL and 100–600 μg/mL for tenofovir alafenamide, cobicistat, emtricitabine and darunavir, respectively. The intraday and interday precisions were found to be within acceptable limits. LOD was found to be 0.06 μg/mL, 0.51 μg/mL, 1.31 μg/mL and 3.01 μg/mL, and LOQ was 0.19 μg/mL, 1.54 μg/mL, 3.96 μg/mL and 9.13 μg/mL for tenofovir alafenamide, cobicistat, emtricitabine and darunavir. The correlation coefficients were found to be more than 0.999, and recovery was more than 99.52% indicating the method was accurate. Forced degradation studies reveal that the drugs are unstable under acidic conditions. The method was simple, accurate, precise, stable and can be analysed in less runtime of 4 min. Conclusions The flexibility, accuracy and precision of the developed method ensure its applicability in routine analysis of tablet dosage forms. Graphical Abstract

A simple, accurate, precise high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of abacavir sulphate (ABA) and lamivudine (LAM) in combined dosage form. Separation was performed on a C18 column [Agilent ODS UG 5 column, 250 mm x 4.5 mm], with methanol: water (50:50 V/V) isocratic elution using a flow rate of 1mL/min. Good sensitivity was observed with UV detection at 277 nm. After method development, the interference of other active compounds and excipients, repeatability and linearity, were investigated. Retention times of LAM and ABA were found to be 3.3 and 6.3 min, respectively. The method was validated over the range from 2.5-12.5 μg/mL for LAM and 5-25 μg/mL for ABA with correlation coefficients of 0.9997 and 0.9996, respectively. This method was shown to be accurate, robust, selective, linear, and repeatable and can be successfully employed in routine quality control for the simultaneous analysis of ABA and LAM in tablets.

A Simple, selective, accurate, precise, linear, and stability-indicating RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for the estimation of Cinacalcet hydrochloride in bulk and tablet dosage forms. Chromatographic separation was achieved on X-Terra Symmetry C18 (4.6 x 150mm; 5 m) with mobile phase containing Phosphate buffer: Acetonitrile (40:60 v/v) pH adjusted to 3.0 ±0.05 with diluted ortho-phosphoric acid. The flow rate was maintained at 0.9 mL/min. The eluent was monitored at 282 nm. Moreover, the retention time of Cinacalcet was 2.8 minutes. The method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness as per ICH guidelines. The developed method was found linear between 25-150 μg/ml, and the linear regression coefficient was 0.999. The % RSD values are less than 2 % indicating the accuracy and precision of the method. The percentage of recovery was obtained from 98-102%. The system suitability parameters were found to be within the limit. Forced degradation studies were conducted under various conditions. The proposed method is simple, rapid, precise, and accurate. It can be used for the quantitation of Cinacalcet hydrochloride in bulk and commercial pharmaceutical dosage forms.

A simple and precise RP‐HPLC method was developed and validated for the determination of pioglitazone hydrochloride in pharmaceutical dosage forms. Chromatography was carried out using Kromosil- C18 ODS column (250 x 4.6 mm; 5 μm), mixture of acetate buffer: methanol (40:60 v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate 1.0 mL/min. The analyte was monitored using UV detector at 254 nm. The retention time for pioglitazone HCl was 3.063 min. The proposed method was found linear in the concentration range of 20.0‐70.0 μg/ml with correlation coefficient of r2=0.9999. The developed method has been statistically validated and found simple and accurate. The mean recoveries obtained for pioglitazone HCl were in the range 99.20-101.59%. Due to its simplicity, rapidness, high precision and accuracy of the proposed method it may be used for determining pioglitazone HCl in bulk and dosage forms.

The present work was the development of a simple, efficient, and reproducible stability-indicating reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for simultaneous determination enrofloxacin (EFX) and its degradation products including ethylenediamine impurity, desfluoro impurity, ciprofloxacin impurity, chloro impurity, fluoroquinolonic acid impurity, and decarboxylated impurity in tablet dosage forms. The separation of EFX and its degradation products in tablets was carried out on Kromasil C-18(250×4.6 mm, 5 μm) column using 0.1% (v/v) TEA in 10 mM KH2PO4(pH 2.5) buffer and methanol by linear gradient program. Flow rate was 1.0 mL min−1with a column temperature of 35°C and detection wavelength was carried out at 278 nm and 254 nm. The forced degradation studies were performed on EFX tablets under acidic, basic, oxidation, thermal, humidity, and photolytic conditions. The degraded products were well resolved from the main active drug and also from known impurities within 65 minutes. The method was validated in terms of specificity, linearity, LOD, LOQ, accuracy, precision, and robustness as per ICH guidelines. The results obtained from the validation experiments prove that the developed method is a stability-indicating method and suitable for routine analysis.
