Background: It has been hypothesized that delivery of aripiprazole through nanoemulsion formulation would better deliver the drug into the central nervous system to treat major depressive conditions in psychological patients. Due course of formulation development, to determine solubility of the drug in different matrices and nanoemulsion is an important step. Materials & Methods: Therefore, a simple, rapid and selective reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated for the determination of aripiprazole as per International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Satisfactory analysis method was employed for the quantitative determination of aripiprazole during pre-formulation development. Results and Discussion: The separation technique was achieved using the mobile phases of methanol-acetonitrile, 80:20 (v/v) delivered at 1.0 mL.min-1 flow rate through HIQ SIL C18 250x4.6 mm (5 μm particle size) column and detected at 218 nm wavelength. The method depicted linear calibration plots within the range of 5 to 50 µg.mL-1 with a determination coefficient (r2) of 0.9991 calculated by least square regression method. The validated method was sensitive with LOD of 10.0 ng.mL-1 and 30.0 ng.mL-1 of LOQ. The intra-day and inter-day precision values were ranged between 0.37-0.89 and 0.63-1.11 respectively, with accuracy ranging from 98.24 to 100.88 and 97.03 to 100.88, respectively. This developed and validated method was found to be sensitive for the determination of aripiprazole for the first time from various oils, surfactants, co-surfactants, and nanoemulsion formulation. Conclusion: This RP-HPLC method was successfully implemented for the quantitative determination of aripiprazole at developmental stages of nanoemulsion formulation.

Background:: Withanolide glycosides in Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), are important metabolites attributed with widely acclaimed therapeutic potential for which validated methods for quantitative determination are limited. Objective:: The primary objective was to develop and validate a Reversed-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for simultaneous quantification of total withanolide glycosides (WG), withanoside IV and withaferin A present in ashwagandha extract.The study also aimed to identify various other constituents present in the extract. Materials and Methods: Aqueous methanol extract (AME) of Ashwagandha was prepared and fractionated into two viz. flavonoid rich fraction (FF) and withanolide rich fraction (WF). RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for the estimation of total WG in ashwagandha extract according to ICH guidelines. Preparative HPLC based purification of major compounds from WF fraction was carried out and constituents were identified using spectroscopic techniques. HPLC chemical profiling of WF before and after acid hydrolysis under controlled conditions was carried out to further confirm the glycosidic compounds. Results and Discussion: The RP-HPLC method gave a precise differentiation of flavonoids, withanolides and WG present in ashwagandha extract. The method demonstrated good reliability and sensitivity, and can be conveniently used for the quantification of total WG, withanoside IV and withaferin A present in ashwagandha extracts. According to this method, a purified fraction (WF) prepared from roots and leaves of Ashwagandha comprise 35% of total WG, 3.27% of withanoside IV and 2.40% of Withaferin A. The method was also applied to different products prepared from Ashwagandha with total withanolide glycosides ranged from 1.5% to 60%, and the results were found to be reproducible. Identification of the individual chemical constituents as well as the acid hydrolytic pattern of the extract further supported the reliability of the developed method for the quantitative determination of total WG. This study also reported a new withanolide glycoside named, cilistol V-6’-O-glucoside (Aswanoside) along with some other known withanolide glycosides. Conclusion:: A Reversed-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated for the quantitative determination of total WG, withanoside IV and withaferin A present in ashwagandha extract according to ICH guidelines. This study also reported a new withanolide glycoside named, cilistol V-6’-O-glucoside (Aswanoside) along with some other known WG.

Object: The main objective of the complete study is to develop a new method and also to validate the developed method for the determination of Assay and Content Uniformity of Levonorgestrel by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Methods: RP-HPLC method was developed for simultaneous estimation of levonorgestrel using Hypersil ODS, 125 mm×4.6 mm×5 μm C8 column with a mixture of water, and acetonitrile solution with a ratio of 50:50 as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.3 mL/min with a detection of quantification wavelength of 242 nm. Method was selected after calculating system suitability and validated as per International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Results: The developed analytical method parameters found within the limits as given in ICH and USP Guidelines and the total chromatographic analysis time per sample was 8 min with Levonorgestrel Eluting with retention time of 4.479, 4.479, and 4.467 min, respectively. The validated HPLC method was successfully applied for the determination of dissolution of levonorgestrel tablets. Conclusion: The method is simple, precise, specific, and accurate. The newly developed method can be used for routine analysis of Levonorgestrel in tablet dosage form.

Objective: A simple, novel, sensitive, rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method has been developed and validated for quantitative determination of atomoxetine HCl (ATH) in bulk and formulations.Methods: The chromatographic development was carried out on RP-HPLC. The column used as Xterra RP 18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μ particle size), with mobile phase consisting of methanol: water 80:20 V/V. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the effluents were monitored at 270 nm.Results: The retention time was found to be 5.350 min. The method was validated as per International Conference on Harmonization Guideline with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness. The calibration curve was found to be linear over a range of 2–10 μg/mL with a regression coefficient of 0.9999. The method has proved high sensitivity and specificity.Conclusion: The results of the study showed that the proposed RP-HPLC method was simple, rapid, precise and accurate which is useful for the routine determination of ATH in bulk drug and in its pharmaceutical dosage form.
