Abstract A simple isocratic, RP-ultra-performance LC method was developed and validated for the determination of lacidipine, three process impurities formed during synthesis, and three degradation products present in drug substance and the drug product. An efficient chromatographic separation was achieved on an Acquity BEH C18 column using pH 4.5 ammonium acetate–acetic acid buffer–methanol (70 + 30, v/v) mobile phase. The monitoring wavelength was 240 nm, and the flow rate 0.25 mL/min. Forced degradation studies using acid, alkali, peroxide, water, heat, and light were conducted, and all impurities were separated. The method was validated successfully for specificity, precision, linearity, accuracy, LOD, LOQ, and robustness, according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The linearity of the calibration curve for lacidipine and each impurity was found to be very good (r2 > 0.999). This method is shown to be suitable for analysis of lacidipine to evaluate the quality of drug substance and a drug product.

In the present study gradient reversed-phase UPLC method was developed for simultaneous determination and separation of impurities and degradation products from drug product. The chromatographic separation was performed on acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (50 mm×2.1 mm, 1.7 µm) using gradient elution. Other UPLC parameters which were optimised are flow rate, 0.7 mL/min; detection wavelength, 220 nm; column oven temperature, 40°C and injection volume 7 µL. Stability indicating capability was established by forced degradation experiments and separation of known degradation products. The method was validated as per International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guideline. For all impurities and mesalamine, LOQ (limit of quantification) value was found precise with RSD (related standard daviation) of less than 2.0%. In essence, the present study provides an improved low detection limit and lower run time for evaluation of pharmaceutical quality of mesalamine delayed-release formulation. Moreover, the developed method was successfully applied for quantification of impurities and degradation products in mesalamine delayed-release formulation. The same method can also be used for determination of related substances from mesalamine drug substance.

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.

A stability-indicating liquid chromatographic (LC) method was studied for the determination of paliperidone in osmotic-controlled release oral delivery system (OROS) tablets. A tablet extraction procedure was developed by testing the efficiency of solvents (water, HCl, NaOH, acetonitrile, methanol) and techniques (ultrasonic bath, magnetic stirrer), and evaluating the release of the drug with respect to time. A forced degradation study was conducted to demonstrate the stability-indicating power of the method. Chromatographic separation was achieved using an isocratic elution in a reversed-phase system with a mobile phase prepared from a mixture of phosphate buffer and acetonitrile. The use of an ultrasonic bath demonstrated paliperidone release from OROS tablets in a total time of 60 min. Verifying the efficiency of the chromatographic procedure, the theoretical plates (N=12634.21) and tailing factor (tf=1.31) were constant during repeated injections. The retention time of paliperidone was 4.8 min, and the method was validated within the concentration range of 10–50 μg mL-1 (r=0.9999). Adequate reproducibility (RSD% = 0.30–0.59), interday precision (RSD%=1.81), and accuracy were obtained. The proposed method was successfully applied to paliperidone determination in the presence of degradation products, and an efficient extraction procedure from the OROS tablets was developed.

A reversed phase HPLC method was developed and validated for analysis of roflumilast, its related substances and degradation products, using Ecosil C18 column (250×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and detection wavelength of 215nm. The mobile phase was a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.005mol·L-1ammonium dihydrogen phosphate buffer pH 3.5 in the ratio of 48:52 (v/v). The samples were analyzed using 20 μl injection volume and the column temperature was maintained at 30°C. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation were found to be 2.6 ng/ml and 8ng/ml, respectively. The stability-indicating capability of method was established by forced degradation studies and method demonstrated successful separation of drug, its related substances and degradation products. The method is sensitive, specific, accurate, precise and stability indicating for the quantitation of drug, its related substances and other degradation compounds.
