AbstractOseltamivir is an antiviral drug and is used in the treatment of all influenza viruses. It is the most effective antiviral option against all influenza viruses that can infect humans. UV and LC methods have been developed and validated according to ICH guidelines for various parameters like selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD and LOQ, robustness for the quantitative determination of oseltamivir in pharmaceutical formulations. LC method has been performed using reverse phase technique on a C-18 column with a mobile phase consisting of 20 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution and acetonitrile (60:40, v/v) at 25 °C. The mobile phase flow rate was 1.2 mL min−1. For the determination of oseltamivir, UV spectrum has been recorded between 200 and 800 nm using methanol as solvent and the wavelength of 215 nm has been selected. Both methods have demonstrated good linearity, precision and recovery. No spectral and chromatographic interferences from the capsule excipients were found in UV and LC methods. In both methods, correlation coefficients were greater than 0.999 within a concentration range of 10–60 mg mL−1 using UV and LC. Intra-day and inter-day precision with low relative standard deviation values were observed. The accuracy of these methods was within the range 99.85–100.17% for LC and from 99.26 to 100.70% for UV. Therefore UV and LC methods gave the most reliable outcomes for the determination of oseltamivir in pharmaceutical formulation.

A sensitive and precise HPLC procedure has been developed for the assay of amphotericin B in bulk samples and pharmaceutical formulations by using a C18 column [Kromosil, C18, (5 µm, 4.6mm x 250 mm; Make. Waters)], and mobile phase combination is 1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile in ratio of 45:55 V/V. The procedure has been validated as per the ICH guidelines. The λmax of detection was fixed at 407 nm, so that there was less interference from mobile phase with highest sensitivity according to UV analysis. Calibration plots were linear in the range of 10-100 µg/mL and the LOD and LOQ were 0.02 µg/mL and 0.06 µg/mL respectively. The high recovery and low relative standard deviation confirm the suitability of the method for routine quality control determination of amphotericin B in different formulations.

Objective: The present study deals with the development, validation and application of a simple, precise and accurate HPLC method for the determination of mycophenolate mofetil in pharmaceutical formulations and microemulsions. Methods: In this method, a simple isocratic mobile phase composition of methanol and water (75:25 v/v) pumped at 1 ml/minute flow rate through Phenomenex C18 column (dimension: 250 4.6 mm and 5 µm particle size) was used. Injection volume was 20 µl and analysis of mycophenolate mofetil was carried out at 250 nm. Results: The coefficient of regression was found to be 0.9996, indicating the linearity of the developed method within a range of 0.1 to 10 µg/ml. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantization (LOQ) were found to be 3.660ng/ml and 11.091ng/ml, respectively. The results showed that % deviation for change in compositions of the mobile phase, flow rate and temperature was within a range of-5.51 to 10.99%,-3.70 to 8.80% and-5.29 to 10.90%, respectively. The method seemed sensitive to change of temperature (±5 ○C) and methanol composition (±2%) as the results were at the boundary limit of 10% deviation. Conclusion: A simple, precise and accurate HPLC method for the determination of drug content from microemulsion has been developed and validated in accordance with ICH guidelines.

A stability-indicating LC assay method was developed for the quantitative determination of fenofibrate (FFB) in pharmaceutical dosage form in the presence of its degradation products and kinetic determinations were evaluated in acidic, alkaline and peroxide degradation conditions. Chromatographic separation was achieved by use of Zorbax C18 column (250 × 4.0 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was established by mixing phosphate buffer (pH adjusted 3 with phosphoric acid) and acetonitrile (30:70 v/v). FFB degraded in acidic, alkaline and hydrogen peroxide conditions, while it was more stable in thermal and photolytic conditions. The described method was linear over a range of 1.0-500 μg/ml for determination of FFB (r= 0.9999). The precision was demonstrated by relative standard deviation (RSD) of intra-day (RSD= 0.56– 0.91) and inter-day studies (RSD= 1.47). The mean recovery was found to be 100.01%. The acid and alkaline degradations of FFB in 1M HCl and 1M NaOH solutions showed an apparent zero-order kinetics with rate constants 0.0736 and 0.0698  min−1 respectively and the peroxide degradation with 5% H2O2 demonstrated an apparent first-order kinetics with rate constant k = 0.0202 per min. The t1/2, t90   values are also determined for all the kinetic studies. The developed method was found to be simple, specific, robust, linear, precise, and accurate for the determination of FFB in pharmaceutical formulations.

Pain is defined as a disagreeable sensory and emotional experience related to a tissue or potential lesion. Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) is the most used non-morphine analgesic. For the determination of paracetamol we developed and validated the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis using a Dionex Ultimate 3000 liquid chromatograph equipped with a multidimensional detector. After determining the optimum conditions of analysis (80/20 water / acetonitrile mobile phase, flow rate 1.0 mL / min, detection wavelength 245 nm) we validated the method following the following parameters: linearity of response function, linearity of results, limit (LD = 0.66 mg / mL) and quantification limit (LQ = 2.00 mg / mL), and precision. The method of determining paracetamol by HPLC was applied to 30 samples of serum collected from patients who had pain and were treated with paracetamol.

Background: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been used to detect related impurities of perampanel. However, the detection of impurities is incomplete, and the limits of quantification and detection are high. A sensitive, reliable method is in badly to be developed and applied for impurity detection of perampanel bulk drug. Objective: Methodologies utilising HPLC and gas chromatography (GC) were established and validated for quantitative determination of perampanel and its related impurities (a total of 10 impurities including 2 genotoxic impurities). Methods: The separation was achieved on a Dikma Diamonsil C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with the mobile phase of 0.01 mol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (A) and acetonitrile (B) in gradient elution mode. The compound 2-bromopropane was determined on an Agilent DB-624 column (0.32 mm × 30 m, 1.8 μm) by electron capture detector (μ-ECD) with split injection ratio of 1:5 and proper gradient temperature program. Result: Both HPLC and GC methods were established and validated to be sensitive, accurate and robust according to International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The methods developed were linear in the selected concentration range (R 2≥0.9944). The average recovery of all impurities was between 92.6% and 103.3%. The possible production mechanism of impurities during the synthesis and degradation processes of perampanel bulk drug was also discussed. Five impurities were analyzed by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Moreover, two of them were simultaneously characterized by LC-MS, IR and NMR. Conclusion: The HPLC and GC methods were developed and optimized, which could be applied for quantitative detection of the impurities, and further stability study of perampanel.

The present study was undertaken to develop and validate a simple, sensitive, accurate, precise and reproducible UV spectrophotometric method for cefuroxime axetil using methanol as solvent. In this method the simple UV spectrum of cefuroxime axetil in methanol was obtained which exhibits absorption maxima (?max) at 278 nm. The quantitative determination of the drug was carried out at 278 nm and Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of (0.80-3.60) µg/ml. The proposed method was applied to pharmaceutical formulation and percent amount of drug estimated (95.6% and 96%) was found in good agreement with the label claim. The developed method was successfully validated with respect to linearity, specificity, accuracy and precision. The method was shown linear in the mentioned concentrations having line equation y = 0.05x + 0.048 with correlation coefficient of 0.995. The recovery values for cefuroxime axetil ranged from 99.85-100.05. The relative standard deviation of six replicates of assay was less than 2%. The percent relative standard deviations of inter-day precision ranged between 1.45-1.92% and intra-day precision of cefuroxime axetil was 0.96-1.51%. Hence, proposed method was precise, accurate and cost effective.  Keywords: UV-Vis spectrophotometer; Method validation; Cefuroxime axetil; Recovery studies.  © 2013 JSR Publications.

A simple validated RP HPLC method for the estimation of rizatriptan benzoate in pharmaceutical dosage form and bulk was developed for routine analysis. This method was developed by selecting Agilent TC C18 (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 μ) column as stationary phase and acrylonibrile:water (45:55), pH adjusted to 3, as mobile phase. Flow rate of mobile phase was maintained at 4: 1 mL/min at ambient temperature throughout the experiment. Quantification was achieved with ultraviolet (DAD) detection at 220 nm. The retention time obtained for rizatriptan was 2.8 min. The detector response was linear in the concentration range of 2-25μg/mL. This method was validated and shown to be specific, sensitive, precise, linear, accurate, rugged and robust. Hence, this method can be applied for routine quality control of rizatriptan benzoate in dosage forms as well as in bulk drug.

A spectrophotometric flow injection method for the determination of paracetamol in pharmaceutical formulations is proposed. The procedure was based on the oxidation of paracetamol by sodium hypochloride and the determination of the excess of this oxidant using o-tolidine dichloride as chromogenic reagent at 430 nm. The analytical curve was linear in the paracetamol concentration range from 8.50 x 10-6 to 2.51 x 10-4 mol L-1 with a detection limit of 5.0 x 10-6 mol L-1. The relative standard deviation was smaller than 1.2% for 1.20 x 10-4 mol L-1 paracetamol solution (n = 10). The results obtained for paracetamol in pharmaceutical formulations using the proposed flow injection method and those obtained using a USP Pharmacopoeia method are in agreement at the 95% confidence level.
