AbstractA stability-indicating hybrid micelle liquid chromatography accompanied by UV detection was developed for the simultaneous analysis of either paracetamol (PCA) or pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (PSU) with their synthetic impurities. Mixture I contains PCA with p-amino phenol and p-nitro phenol, while mixture II involves the estimation of PSU with benzaldehyde and benzoic acid. Both mixtures were separated using a C18 column that was thermostatically maintained at 40°C and operating under a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min, applying UV detection at 240 nm for mixture I and 220 nm for mixture II. In both cases, the mobile phase consisted of 0.1 M sodium dodecyl sulfate, acetonitrile, and triethylamine (90:10:0.3, v/v/v) and adjusted to pH 4 (mixture I) or pH 3.7 (mixture II) using 2.0 M O-phosphoric acid. The proposed method was validated and successfully applied to assay different pharmaceuticals containing PCA or PSU. Moreover, the stability-indicating nature of the proposed method was proved through applying photolytic degradation procedures for PCA.

Micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) with the use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine some physicochemical parameters of six biogenic amines: adrenaline, dopamine, octopamine, histamine, 2-phenylethylamine, and tyramine. In this paper, an influence of surfactant’s concentration and pH of the micellar mobile phase on the retention of the tested substances was examined. To determine the influence of surfactant’s concentration on the retention of the tested amines, buffered solutions (at pH 7.4) of ionic surfactant—sodium dodecyl sulfate SDS (at different concentrations) with acetonitrile as an organic modifier (0.8/0.2 v/v) were used as the micellar mobile phases. To determine the influence of pH of the micellar mobile phase on the retention, mobile phases contained buffered solutions (at different pH values) of sodium dodecyl sulfate SDS (at 0.1 M) with acetonitrile (0.8/0.2 v/v). The inverse of value of retention factor () versus concentration of micelles () relationships were examined. Other physicochemical parameters of solutes such as an association constant analyte—micelle ()—and partition coefficient of analyte between stationary phase and water (hydrophobicity descriptor) () were determined by the use of Foley’s equation.

Objective: We have developed a “stability-indicating RP-HPLC” procedure for the Bilastine (BLS) and montelukast (MTL) analysis of tablets. Methods: The quantification of BLS and MTL combination was implemented utilising a Waters column (C18, 5 μm, 250 mm and 4.6 mm). Isocratic mobile phase had 60% volume KH2PO4 of 0.1M strength with pH 4.2 units and 40% volume methanol at a flow with 1.0 ml/min speed. UV detection at 232 nm was done to examine BLS and MTL. Stability experiments of BLS and MTL under distinctive environments of stress were also performed. Results: The BLS and MTL were eluted at 1.810 min and 2.551 min, respectively. The responses were found to be linear for the concentration ranges of 10-30 µg/ml (BLS) and 5-15 µg/ml (MTL). Percent comparative standard deviance for precision was 0.331% (BLS) and 0.486% (MTL). Percent assay for accuracy was 98.96% (BLS) and 99.00% (MTL). The detection limit and quantitation limit measures for BLS were 0.018 µg/ml and 0.059 µg/ml, respectively, while for MTL it was 0.024 µg/ml and 0.081 µg/ml, respectively. Robustness studies authorized that the method is robust with percent comparative standard deviance of a highest 1.950%. Conclusion: The developed “stability-indicating RP-HPLC” procedure for the BLS and MTL analysis is simple, sensitive, precise, specific and robust, making it appropriate to the assessment of BLS and MTL in a tablet formulation.

Abstract A stability-indicating isocratic reversed-phase ion-pair chromatographic method was designed for the separation of impurities in the presence of degradation products. Marbofloxacin tablets and a placebo were exposed to the stress conditions of oxidative, acid, base, humidity, thermal, and photolytic degradation. Significant and moderate degradation was observed in acidic and oxidative stress conditions, respectively. The degradation products were well resolved from the main peak and its impurities, thus proving the stability-indicating analytical method. The method was developed by using an XTerra RP18 3.5 μm (150 × 4.6 mm) column, with the mobile phase containing a mixture of buffer (pH 2.5)–methanol–glacial acetic acid (77 + 23 + 0.5, v/v). The flow rate of the mobile phase was 1.2 mL/min, with a column oven temperature of 40°C and a detection wavelength of 315 nm. The proposed method met Veterinary International Conference on Harmonization requirements and was successfully used for impurity quantitation in marbofloxacin tablets.

A sensitive, stability-indicating gradient RP-HPLC method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of impurities of Guaifenesin and Dextromethorphan in pharmaceutical formulations. Efficient chromatographic separation was achieved on a Sunfire C18, 250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm column with mobile phase containing a gradient mixture of solvents A and B. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 0.8 mL min−1 with column temperature of 50°C and detection wavelength at 224 nm. Regression analysis showed an r value (correlation coefficient) greater than 0.999 for Guaifenesin, Dextromethorphan, and their impurities. Guaifenesin and Dextromethorphan formulation sample was subjected to the stress conditions of oxidative, acid, base, hydrolytic, thermal, and photolytic degradation. Guaifenesin was found stable and Dextromethorphan was found to degrade significantly in peroxide stress condition. The degradation products were well resolved from Guaifenesin, Dextromethorphan, and their impurities. The peak purity test results confirmed that the Guaifenesin and Dextromethorphan peak was homogenous and pure in all stress samples and the mass balance was found to be more than 98%, thus proving the stability-indicating power of the method. The developed method was validated according to ICH guidelines with respect to specificity, linearity, limits of detection and quantification, accuracy, precision, and robustness.

Abstract A reversed-phase liquid chromatographic procedure with a micellar mobile phase of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), containing a small amount of pentanol, was developed for the control of 7 antihistamines of diverse action in pharmaceutical preparations (tablets, capsules, powders, solutions, and syrups): azatadine, carbinoxamine, cyclizine, cyproheptadine, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, and tripelennamine. The retention times of the drugs were <9 min with a mobile phase of 0.15M SDS–6% (v/v) pentanol. The recoveries with respect to the declared compositions were in the range of 93–110%, and the intra- and interday repeatabilities and interday reproducibility were <1.2%. The results were similar to those obtained with a conventional 60 + 40 (v/v) methanol–water mixture, with the advantage of reduced toxicity, flammability, environmental impact, and cost of the micellar-pentanol solutions. The lower risk of evaporation of the organic solvent dissolved in the micellar solutions also increased the stability of the mobile phase.

The developed method was validated according to ICH guidelines with respect to specificity, linearity, limits of detection, quantification, accuracy, precision, and robustness. The stability-indicating reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method is precise; it has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of assay of guaifenesin (GN) and dextromethorphan hydrobromic (HBr) (DN) in drug substance and drug product. The chromatographic separation was done in an isocratic mode using the Syncronus C8 (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μ particle size) column with mobile phase containing a 10 mM ammonium acetate in water (modulated pH 4.30 with orthophosphoric acid) and acetonitrile in the ratio of 60:40 (% v/v) used for efficient chromatographic separation. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 1 mL/min with ambient column temperature and detection of wavelength at 279 nm; injection volume 10 μL was fixed for achieving good elution of eluents. The retention time for GN was found to 3.46 minutes and DN was found to 7.58 minutes. GN and DN were linear in the concentration range from 357 to 1,428 and 19 to 75 μg/mL, respectively. Regression analysis showed that the r value (correlation coefficient) greater than 0.999 for GN r value was found to be 0.999, GN r value was found to be 0.999, DN r value was found to be 0.999. Limit of detection (LoD) and limit of quantification (LoQ) of GN was found to be 0.151 and 0.904 μg/mL, DN was found to be 0.241 and 0.726 μg/mL. The developed method was validated and found to be accurate, specific, and robust. Both the drugs were subjected to the stress conditions like acidic, basic, oxidative, photolytic, and thermal conditions. The degradation results were found to be satisfactory. In peroxide stress condition, GN was found stable over DN, and DN was found to degrade significantly. The degradation products were well resolved from GN, DN, and their impurities. The peak purity test results confirmed that the GN and DN peak were homogenous and pure in all stress conditions, thus, proving the stability-indicating nature of the method. This method could be applied for the simultaneous estimation of GN and DN in drug substance and drug product.

The present study aims to develop a simple, accurate and specific stability-indicating RP-HPLC technique for the analysis of metoclopramide in the presence of its stress degradation products and characterization of degradation compounds by LC-MS/MS analysis. As per ICH Q1A-R2 guidelines, the drug was exposed to acid hydrolytic stress condition. Three degradation products were formed for MCP in acid hydrolysis. The liquid chromatography was processed on a Luna C18-(2) 100A,250×4.6mm 5micron column using an isocratic mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid in water-acetonitrile (20:80, v/v) by adjusting the mobile phase at 1 ml/min flow rate with wavelength detection at 273 nm. The developed procedure was applied to LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry) for the characterization of all the degradant components. Total new three degradation compounds were recognized and identified by LC-MS/MS. The developed RP-HPLC technique was validated as per the ICH Q2-R1 guidelines. Limit of detection and limit of quantification values of MCP were evaluated from the linearity graph and were found to be 5.23 µg/ml and 17.44 µg/ml. Accuracy study was established at 80.0, 100.0 and 120.0 µg/ml concentration levels and the findings were found in the range of 98.4% - 101.8%. The linearity of the technique was assessed over the drug concentration range of 50.0 µg/ml to 250.0 µg/ml and the regression equation, slope and correlation coefficient values were found to be y = 10618x + 1623.2, 10618 and 0.9996 respectively. The developed technique was uninterruptedly applied for the quantification of metoclopramide inactive pharmaceuticals.
