ABSTRACT
A stability indicating simple, selective, accurate high Performance Liquid Chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the combined tablet formulation of pyrimethamine & sulphadoxine. Chromatographic separation was optimized by gradient HPLC on a C18 column [Inertsil Silica, 250 x 4.6 mm, 5μ] utilizing a mobile phase of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and acetonitrile taken in the ratio 70:30 at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min with UV detection at 221nm. The retention time of pyrimethamine and sulphadoxine was 2.77 and 6.57 min respectively. The developed method was validated in terms of accuracy, precision, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, robustness and stress degradation studies. Validation of the method was done in accordance with ICH guidelines for the assay of active ingredients. Thus validated method can be recommended for the routine laboratory analysis.
ABSTRACT
Asenapine is used in the treatment of schizophrenia disease.Asenapine mainly control the psychotic symptoms’ mainly antagonist to various receptors like, serotonin (5-HT1A, 5- HT1B,5-HT2A,5-HT2B,),histamine, and dopamine(D1,D2,D3,D4) receptors. It is also lower affinity towards muscaranic and acetylcholine receptors. In the present study, simple titrimetric method was developed. Respective quantities of Asenapine were taken in aqueous methanol titrated against 0.1N sodium hydroxide acid and 0.1N potassium hydroxide acid using phenolphthalein as an indicators for neutralization titration. This method were found to be sensitive and inexpensive, do not require any sample processing steps and can be utilized for estimation of asenapine in bulk and formulations.
ABSTRACT
Cimetidine is the selective H2 receptor antagonist and inhibits the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. In the present study, simple titrimetric method was developed. Respective quantities of Cimetidine were taken in aqueous methanol and acetic acid titrated against 0.1N hydrochloric acid and 0.1N perchloric acid using methyl orange and crystal violet as indicators for neutralization and non-aqueous titrations. All the titrations are carried out by running simultaneous blank determinations. The final titer values are subtracted from blank to get actual amount of acid consumed was determined. These methods were found to be sensitive and inexpensive, do not require any sample processing steps and can be utilized for estimation of cimetidine in bulk and formulations.
ABSTRACT
A simple, sensitive, precise and specific reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the determination of Tamsulosin in bulk and tablet dosage forms. It was found that the excipient in the tablet dosage forms does not interfere in the quantification of active drug by proposed method. The HPLC separation was carried out by reverse phase chromatography on Shimadzu HPLC, 10-At detector with hypersil ODS C18 Column 250 X 4.6 mm (particle size of 5μ) and constant flow pump. Rheodyne injector with 20 μl loop with a mobile phase composed in the ratio acetonitrile: (0.05M) KH2PO4 buffer (45:55) at flow rate 1.8 ml /min. The detection was monitored at 240nm. The calibration curve for Tamsulosin was linear from 10-50g/ml and internal standard (Bromhexine) 10g/ml were prepared by suitable dilutions of the stock solution with appropriate mobile phase. The interday and intraday precision was found to be within limits. The proposed method has adequate sensitivity, reproducibility and specificity for the determination of Tamsulosin in bulk and its tablet dosage forms. LOD and LOQ for Tamsulosin were found to be 0.495 and 0.461.Accuracy (recoveries: 98.5-98.55%) and reproducibility were found to satisfactory.
