ABSTRACT
A very simple, precise, economical, accurate, robust, and reproducible reverse phase-high-performance liquid chromatography method along with stability indicating attributes has been developed for estimating of prucalopride succinate (PRU) in both bulk and tablet formulation (PRUVICT 2). The estimation of the solutes was performed on a Grace C18 column of dimension 150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm. PRU was eluted with acetonitrile: 0.02 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate in the ratio of 20:80 v/v in a 10 min isocratic mode at a flow rate of 1 ml/min at 30°C column temperature and monitored at a wavelength of 277 nm. The retention time of PRU was found to be 5.416 minutes. The Q2b validation of the analytical method revealed good linearity over the concentration range 2–12 μg/mL for IVA with r2 of 0.999. The mean recovery % over the three tested ranges of 50%, 100%, and 150% were found to be 100.173%, 99.077%, and 98.575%, respectively. In intra-day variability study, the % RSDs was detected to be 0.754, 1.032, and 0.482 whereas the inter-day variability study demonstrated % RSDs of 0.797, 0.559, and 0.524, respectively. The acid, alkali, boiled water, hydrogen peroxide, dry heat, and UV radiations based stress studies presented the formation of a variety of characteristic degradation products. The developed analytical method may be employed for the routine analysis of PRU in bulk and tablet formulations.
ABSTRACT
A simple, accurate, sensitive, economical and reliable first order derivative spectrophotometric method was developed and validated for the estimation of cefixime and moxifloxacin in pharmaceutical dosage form. The optimum conditions for the analysis of the drugs were established. First order derivative method was developed for quantification of cefixime and moxifloxacin. Spectrum was obtained by dissolving cefixime and moxifloxacin in methanol and water (60:40 v/v); wavelength selected was 260 nm for cefixime and 316 nm for moxifloxacin. The Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 2-12 μg/ml. Results of tablet analysis showed percent relative standard deviation (% RSD) in the range of 0.1576 to 0.2183 for cefixime and moxifloxacin which indicate repeatability of the method respectively. Recoveries do not differ significantly from 100% which show there was no interference from the common excipient used in tablet formulation indicating accuracy and reliability of the method. The method was validated as per ICH guideline and found to be accurate, precise and rugged. It was also validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, and specificity, limit of detection and limit of quantitation.
ABSTRACT
Micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) is one of the very important analytical techniques. It contains mobile phase added with surfactants above its critical micellar concentration and the stationary phase is modified with surfactant monomers. So, micelles alter the solubilising capability of the mobile phase which forms diverse interactions with major implications in retention and selectivity. It is an alternative to conventional reversed phase liquid chromatography. It allows direct injection of physiological fluids, analysis of pharmaceutical compounds, physiological partitioning process. MLC (micelle liquid chromatography) has proved time saving as compared to other analytical technique like HPLC and ion-pairing. Applicability of MLC is increased in the field of bioanalysis. It is used to analyze different samples of drugs in serum, urine, food etc. In this review we have focused on the various examples of use of MLC in bioanalysis. This review also contains basic information about MLC such as micellar mobile phase, stationary phase, surfactants, and fundamental studies such as retention behavior and partition coefficient.
