Abstract Background: The simultaneous, quantitative determination of all active ingredients present in the analgesic formulation (Dazzle ointment) requires an ideal and novel method by which these phytoconstituents can be separated with the highest resolution without any interference from one another. Objective: The present work was conducted to develop and validate a quantitative method for the simultaneous estimation of all five phytoconstituents present in a polyherbal analgesic ointment by GC. Methods: α-Pinene, 1,8-cineole, camphor, menthol, and methyl salicylate present in the ingredients of the ointment were analyzed and quantified by GC using a crosslinked 5% phenyl polydimethylsiloxane capillary column, nitrogen as a carrier gas, and a flame-ionization detector. Aniline was used as the internal standard. Method validation was also performed in order to demonstrate its selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD, LOQ, and robustness. Results: The calibration curves of all five marker compounds showed good linear correlation coefficients (r2 >0.998) within the tested ranges. The precision of the method was tested by carrying out intra- and interday analyses of the same sample. RSD values were observed to be <1.00%. The accuracy of the method, determined by performing recovery studies, was found to be between 99.25 and 101.39%. The developed method was also demonstrated to be robust (RSD <1.29%) by making small but deliberate variations in method parameters. Conclusions: The developed GC method is simple, precise, and accurate, it and can be used for the rapid quality control testing of the polyherbal formulation. Highlights: The developed GC method will assist in the standardization of polyherbal analgesic formulation consists of α-pinene, 1,8-cineole, camphor, menthol, and methyl salicylate as active constituents.

A simple, accurate, precise high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of abacavir sulphate (ABA) and lamivudine (LAM) in combined dosage form. Separation was performed on a C18 column [Agilent ODS UG 5 column, 250 mm x 4.5 mm], with methanol: water (50:50 V/V) isocratic elution using a flow rate of 1mL/min. Good sensitivity was observed with UV detection at 277 nm. After method development, the interference of other active compounds and excipients, repeatability and linearity, were investigated. Retention times of LAM and ABA were found to be 3.3 and 6.3 min, respectively. The method was validated over the range from 2.5-12.5 μg/mL for LAM and 5-25 μg/mL for ABA with correlation coefficients of 0.9997 and 0.9996, respectively. This method was shown to be accurate, robust, selective, linear, and repeatable and can be successfully employed in routine quality control for the simultaneous analysis of ABA and LAM in tablets.

Arapid and sensitive RPHPLCmethod was developed for the routine control analysis of eletriptan hydrobromide and its organic impurity UK 120.413 in Relpax? tablets. The chromatography was performed at 20?C using a C18 XTerra ? (5 ?m, 150 x 4,6 mm) column at a flow rate 1.0 ml/min. The drug and its impurity were detected at 225 nm. The mobile phase consisted of TEA (1 %) - methanol (67.2:32.8 v/v), the pH of which was adjusted to 6.8 with 85 % orthophosphoric acid. Quantification was accomplished by the internal standard method. The developed RP HPLC method was validated by testing: accuracy, precision, repeatability, specificity, detection limit, quantification limit, linearity, robustness and sensitivity. High linearity of the analytical procedure was confirmed over the concentration range of 0.05 - 1.00 mg/ml for eletriptan hydrobromide and from 0.10 - 1.50 ?g/ml for UK 120.413, with correlation coefficients greater than r = 0.995. The low value of the RSD expressed the good repeatability and precision of the method. Experimental design and a response surface method were used to test robustness of the analytical procedure and to evaluate the effect of variation of the method parameters, namely the mobile phase composition, pH and temperature. They showed small deviations from the method setting. The good recovery and low RSD confirm the suitability of the proposed RP HPLC method for the routine determination of eletriptan hydrobromide and its impurity UK 120.413 in Relpax? tables.

A rapid and sensitive RP-HPLC method with UV detection (242 nm) for routine analysis of famciclovir in pharmaceutical formulations was developed. Chromatography was performed with mobile phase containing a mixture of methanol and phosphate buffer (50:50,v/v) with flow rate 1.0 mL min−1. Quantitation was accomplished with internal standard method. The procedure was validated for linearity (correlation coefficient =0.9999), accuracy, robustness and intermediate precision. Experimental design was used for validation of robustness and intermediate precision. To test robustness, three factors were considered; percentage v/v of methanol in mobile phase, flow rate and pH; flow rate, the percentage of organic modifier and pH have considerable important effect on the response. For intermediate precision measure the variables considered were: analyst, equipment and number of days. The RSD value (0.86%,n=24) indicated an acceptable precision of the analytical method. The proposed method was simple, sensitive, precise, accurate and quick and useful for routine quality control.

Abstract Background Standardization of polyherbal medicine though being the need of the hour is a toilsome task. Among the various methods employed for quality control and standardization of polyherbal medicine, phytochemical profiling is of utmost importance as it signifies the quality as well as efficacy of the medicine. The work was aimed to develop and validate a simple, quick, and accurate RP-HPLC technique for simultaneous assessment of monoammonium glycyrrhizinate and sennoside-B in a polyherbal laxative tablet. The phytomarkers were effectively quantified by RP-HPLC system on C18 analytical column using gradient mobile phase consisting of phosphate buffer to acetonitrile with the detector wavelength set at 254 nm. This developed method was validated by determination of parameters like accuracy, linearity, precision, limit of detection, and quantification as well as robustness according to ICH guidelines. Results Calibration curve of both phytomarkers showed excellent linear correlation coefficients. LOD and LOQ were also calculated by equation. Precision studies were carried out using intra-day and inter-day intervals and RSD values were found to be less than 2.00%. The method was found to be accurate, which was evident from 98.96 to 101.39% and 99.17 to 100.67% recovery of monoammonium glycyrrhizinate and sennoside-B, respectively, when the formulation was spiked with the respective phytomarkers. Conclusion The validated method can be employed as standardization tool for herbal formulations with accuracy and precision. The developed method will assist in maintaining the good quality and batch to batch uniformity of polyherbal formulations containing Yashtimadhu, Swarnpatri, and Aragvadha as active ingredients.
