Chemometrics is the chemistry field responsible for planning and extracting the maximum of information of experiments from chemical data using mathematical tools (linear algebra, statistics, and so on). Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can form impurities when exposed to excipients or environmental variables such as light, high temperatures, acidic or basic conditions, humidity, and oxidative environment. By considering that these impurities can affect the safety and efficacy of the drug product, it is necessary to know how these impurities are yielded and to establish the pathway of their formation. In this context, forced degradation studies of pharmaceutical drugs have been used for the characterization of physicochemical stability of APIs. These studies are also essential in the validation of analytical methodologies, in order to prove the selectivity of methods for the API and its impurities and to create strategies to avoid the formation of degradation products. This review aims to demonstrate how forced degradation studies have been actually performed and the applications of chemometric tools in related studies. Some papers are going to be discussed to exemplify the chemometric applications in forced degradation studies.

A simple, specific, accurate and precise reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of Paracetamol and Lornoxicam from tablets and to characterize degradation products of Lornoxicam by reverse phase C18 column (Inertsil ODS 3V C-18, 250 x 4.6 mm, 5 ?). The sample was analyzed using Buffer (0.02504 Molar): Methanol in the ratio of 45:55, as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min and detection at 290 nm. The retention time for Paracetamol and Lornoxicam was found to be 2.45 and 9.40 min respectively. The method can be used for estimation of combination of these drugs in tablets. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines. The linearity of developed method was achieved in the range of 249.09 - 747.29 ?g/mL (r2=0.9999) for Paracetamol and 4.0125 - 12.0375 ?g/mL (r2=0.9999) for Lornoxicam. Recoveries from tablets were between 98 and 102%. The method was validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness and forced degradation studies which further proved the stability-indicating power. During the forced degradation studies lornoxicam was observed to be labile to alkaline hydrolytic stress and oxidative stress (in the solution form). However, it was stable to the acid hydrolytic, photolytic and thermal stress (in both solid and solution form). The degraded products formed were investigated by electrospray ionization (ESI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry, NMR and IR spectroscopy. A possible degradation pathway was outlined based on the results. The method was found to be sensitive with a detection limit of 0.193 ?g/ml, 2.768 ?g/ml and a quantitation limit of 0.638 ?g/ml, 9.137 ?g/ml for lornoxicam and paracetamol, respectively. Due to these attributes, the proposed method could be used for routine quality control analysis of these drugs in combined dosage forms.

Nilotinib hydrochloride is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia was subjected to forced degradation studies and the samples were analyzed by utilizing the LCMS compatible HPLC methods. Nilotinib Hydrochloride was subjected to thermal, hydrolytic, oxidative, acidic, basic and photolytic degradation conditions as per the regulatory guidelines. The drug was degraded in oxidative, basic and acidic environments and stable in photolytic and thermal conditions. The main degradation impurity components produced through the forced degradation study were isolated for the identification and quantification in presence of these impurities in the stability studies of drug substances as well as drug products. The identified degradation components were separated by mass assisted auto-purification technique and subjected for the characterization by NMR (13C-NMR, 1H-NMR, HMBC and HSQC), HRMS and FT-IR experimentations. Degradation products obtained from oxidative, basic and acidic environments were isolated and identified by the advanced techniques  as acid degradation product (DP-1) with molecular mass of 306.11 g/mol, empirical formula C17H14N4O2 with name as 4-methyl-3- (4 -(pyridine -3-yl) pyrimidin -2 -ylamino) benzoic acid.

Objective: The current study focused on the development, validation, and characterization of forced degradation products using LC-MS/MS. Methods: A simple, selective, validated and well-defined isocratic HPLC methodology for the quantitative determination of Tucatinib at a wavelength of 239 nm. An isocratic elution of samples was performed on an Inertsil ODS (250x4.6 mm, 5m) column with a mobile phase of 70:30v/v Acetonitrile and formic acid (0.1%) delivered at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. MS/MS was used to characterize degradation products formed in the forced degradation study. The validation and characterization of forced degradation products were performed in accordance with ICH guidelines. Results: Over the concentration range of 5-100μg/ml, a good linear response was obtained. Tucatinib's LOD and LOQ were determined to be 0.05 and 0.5, respectively. According to standard guidelines, the method was quantitatively evaluated in terms of system suitability, linearity, precision, accuracy, and robustness, and the results were found to be within acceptable limits. The drug was degraded under acidic, alkaline, and reduction conditions in forced degradation studies. Conclusion: The method was found to be applicable for routine tucatinib analysis. Because no LC-MS/MS method for estimating tucatinib and its degradation products has been reported in the literature. There is a need to develop a method for studying the entire tucatinib degradation pathway.

Methylated Cyclodextrin

Midazolam, a potent anxiolytic drug with sedative properties, is susceptible to degradation by both light and hydrolysis in aqueous solution. When formulated as an intranasal product it was found to be effective in achieving seizure control in epileptic patients. In order to deliver an adequate therapeutic dose to a patient, a nasal formulation requires the concentration of midazolam to be higher than its? aqueous solubility. One way to increase midazolam solubility to a therapeutic concentration, is complexation with randomly methylated-?-cyclodextrin. Thus, it is important to determine how complexation with cyclodextrin affects the rate of degradation and type of midazolam degradants that are formed. We have found that complexation with cyclodextrin decreases its photostability. More importantly, the degradation profile for midazolam is significantly altered when it is complexed with randomly methylated-?-cyclodextrin, what we partly confirmed in our previous work.1 By continuing our study we have found that degradation products, not observed on the photodegradation of uncomplexed midazolam are observed in significant quantities when it is complexed with randomly methylated-?-cyclodextrin. The decreased photostability was accompanied by the appearance of two new degradation products, an intermediate structure and a dimer. Photoproduct formation followed the same pattern as in the forced degradation studies, further confirming the presence of an intermediate. The production of these new photodegradants, characterized with their MS spectra, as well as proposed degradation mechanism of midazolam is discussed.
