A simple and fast analytical method of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) was developed and validated in order to assay isradipine in poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/polyethylene glycol (PEG) nanocapsules. Experiments were performed by UHPLC on a C18 chromatographic column at 25°C using a mobile phase composed by methanol and water (85:15 v/v) with a flow rate of 0.5 mL.min−1 and UV detection at 327nm for achieving a total run time of 1.5 min. The UHPLC method was validated according to the guidelines set on The International Conference on Harmonisation. It proved to be selective, linear (r = 0.99962), precise (RSD < 4.1%), and accurate (recovery rates between 95.24 and 96.53%) at the range from 10 to 40 µg.mL−1. The performance was robust when slight changes in the flow rate, wavelength of detection, and mobile phase composition were tested. It was successfully applied to quantify isradipine from nanoparticulate polymeric systems, showing high loading efficiency rates, greater than 98.55%. These results provided an experimental basis to use this method for quantifying isradipine with reliable results, besides being very fast, easy to perform and cheaper.

A sensitive, inexpensive high-performance liquid chromatography–ultraviolet detection (HPLC–UV) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous monitoring of pantoprazole sodium sesquihydrate (PSS) and domperidone maleate (DM) in rabbit plasma on a C18 column with UV detection at 285 nm. Box–Behnken design was used with 3 independent variables, namely, flow rate (X1), mobile phase composition (X2), and phosphate buffer pH (X3), which were used to design mathematical models. Response surface design was applied to optimize the dependent variables, i.e., retention time (Y1 and Y2) and percentage recoveries (Y3 and Y4) of PSS and DM. The method was sensitive and reproducible over 1.562 to 25 μg/mL. The effect of the quadratic outcome of flow rate, mobile phase composition, and buffer pH on retention time (p ˂ 0.001) and percentage recoveries of PSS and DM (p = 0.0016) were significant. The regression values obtained from analytical curve of PSS and DM were 0.999 and 0.9994, respectively. The percentage recoveries of PSS and DM were ranged from 94.5 to 100.41% and 94.77 to 100.31%, respectively. The developed method was applied for studying the pharmacokinetics of PSS and DM. The Cmax of test and reference formulations were 48.06 ± 0.347 μg/mL and 46.31 ± 0.398 μg/mL for PSS, and 15.11 ± 1.608 μg/mL and 12.06 ± 1.234 μg/mL for DM, respectively.
