Ethylhexylglycerin, an alkyl glyceryl ether, used in various cosmetics and deodorants is also known to have anti-microbial activity and hence used as an adjuvant along with other preservatives to produce synergistic effect. In the present study, a gas chromatographic method has been employed and validated to determine the presence of impurities along with ethylhexylglycerin. A column having the dimension of DB-1 30m x 0.32mm; 0.25µm with acetone as solvent was found to be optimal for the ideal separation of ethylhexylglycerin from its impurities. Injection volume was set to 1 µl and temperature was maintained at 240°C. A clear peak was observed with the retention time of 8.002 minutes. As per ICH guidelines, the developed method was validated with respect to specificity, sensitivity, Limit of detection, Limit of quantification, linearity, precision, and also stability studies. As per the method, it shows a good correlation co-efficient (R2) value of 0.999 within the concentration range of 0.1- 0.75µg. Therefore, a gas chromatographic method was proposed which can be precise, specific and can be employed for the determination of ethylhexylglycerin in various pharmaceutical formulations.

Abstract Background Bempedoic acid and Ezetimibe acid are used in combination for treatment of hypercholesterolemia. The current work was undertaken to develop a simple and rapid stability-indicating RP-UPLC method for the simultaneous estimation of Bempedoic acid and Ezetimibe in tablets as no such method was available. The chromatographic separation was performed with Waters Acquity C18 [50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μ] column using methanol: acetonitrile: water [50: 30: 20, by volume] as mobile phase pumped at a flow rate 0.5 mL/min. The separated analytes were detected at 260 nm using UV detector. Results The separation of Bempedoic acid (BA) and Ezetimibe (EZ) was done at a retention time of 1.827 min. and 3.577 min. respectively. The validation and stability studies of the present method were carried out according to the ICH guidelines. The linearity of the proposed method was in the range of 30–130 μg/mL and 5–50 μg/mL for Bempedoic acid and Ezetimibe respectively. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 0.1216 μg/mL and 0.3685 μg/mL for Bempedoic acid and 0.1189 μg/mL and 0.3602 μg/mL for Ezetimibe respectively. The recovery of the method was found to be in the range of 99.89—100.31% for Bempedoic acid and 98.14—99.94% for Ezetimibe while the % RSD for both drugs in the precision and robustness study was less than 2.0. The drugs did not show any major degradants in the exposed conditions. Conclusion The developed method was found to be simple, sensitive, accurate, precise, robust, rapid and yet stability indicating. The method can be adopted for simultaneous estimation of Bempedoic acid and Ezetimibe in the pharmaceutical formulation.

Abstract A simple and specific liquid chromatographic method was developed for determination of clopidol in chicken tissues. Samples were extracted with acetonitrile. The extracts were cleaned up on an alumina column and an anion exchange column. The clopidol was separated on a column (30 cm × 3.9 mm) of μBondapak C18 (10 μm) by using acetonitrile–water (20 + 80, v/v) as mobile phase, and determined quantitatively at 270 nm. Recoveries were 86.0–97.6%, with relative standard deviations of 2.14–9.42% at 0.010–2.0 mg/kg from 4 spiked matrixes of chicken muscle, egg, liver, and kidney. The limit of detection was 0.005 mg/kg. Compared with the modified AOAC gas chromatographic method, the present method is simple and fast to operate. Its results are accurate and reliable, making it favorable for environmental protection and meeting requirements for human safety. Thus, it is suitable for routine analysis of large quantities of samples.

A new, simple, rapid, sensitive, accurate, and affordable spectrofluorimetric method was developed and validated for the estimation of ganciclovir in bulk as well as in marketed formulations. The method was based on measuring the native fluorescence of ganciclovir in 0.2 M hydrochloric acid buffer of pH 1.2 at 374 nm after excitation at 257 nm. The calibration graph was found to be rectilinear in the concentration range of 0.25–2.00 μg mL−1. The limit of quantification and limit of detection were found to be 0.029 μg mL−1and 0.010μg mL−1, respectively. The method was fully validated for various parameters according to ICH guidelines. The results demonstrated that the procedure is accurate, precise, and reproducible (relative standard deviation <2%) and can be successfully applied for the determination of ganciclovir in its commercial capsules with average percentage recovery of 101.31 ± 0.90.

Abstract A binary mixture of Silymarin (SR) and Vitamin E (VE) acetate, of an antioxidant and a hepatoprotective effect, has been analyzed using a sensitive, selective and economic high performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method in their pure forms, pharmaceutical formulation and spiked human plasma. SR and VE were separated on 60F254 silica gel plates using hexane:acetone:formic acid (7:3:0.15, v/v/v) as a developing system with UV detection at 215 nm. The method was evaluated for linearity, accuracy, precision, selectivity, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). SR and VE were detected in the linear range of 0.2–2.5 and 0.2–4.5 μg/band, respectively. Method validation was done as per ICH guidelines and acceptable results of accuracy of 99.86 ± 1.190 and 100.22 ± 1.609 for SR and VE, respectively were obtained. The method has been successfully applied for determination of the studied drugs in their pharmaceutical formulation without any interference from excipients, and in spiked plasma samples. Results obtained by the developed HPTLC-densitometric method were statistically compared to those obtained by the reported HPLC methods and no significant difference was found between them.
