ABSTRACT
Drugs like Sertraconazole nitrate and Zinc Pyrithion were analyzed by manymethods individually viz HPLC (High performance liquid chromatography) etc but there is nosingle method reported for the simultaneous determination of Sertraconazole nitrate and ZincPyrithion in combination. Although Sertraconazole nitrate is official in British Pharmacopoeiabut Zinc Pyrithion is not official in any Pharmacopoeia. Hence a proper research work is wellaimed to develop and validate a new analytical method for simultaneous estimation ofSertraconazole nitrate and zinc Pyrithion in Pharmaceutical Dosage form.
ABSTRACT
Aims: Darunavir is widely used in HIV/AIDS therapy. It is a HIV protease inhibitor that has excellent efficacy against the virus. The aim of this study is to develop and validate an analytical method fast and free of interferences for determination of darunavir ethanolate as raw material and tablet dosage form. Methodology: As the formulation excipients show high interference in darunavir determination by a direct UV absorption measurement a derivative spectrophotometry was applied. A selective, easy and fast method was achieved employing simple and cheap instrumentation by using first-order derivative spectrophotometry. Results: The first-derivation of spectrum of the drug measured between 200 and 400 nm allowed identification of the analyte and showed absence of placebo interference. The assay was based on the absorbance at 276nm. The linear concentration range was established from 11 to 21 μg/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision expressed as RSD was 0.06% and 3.75% respectively with mean recovery of 99.84%. Conclusion: The proposed analytical method is able to quantify darunavir as raw material and tablets and can be used routinely by any laboratory applying a spectrophotometer with a derivative accessory. The great difference of the method proposed here is that it proves to be free of placebo interferences as well as simple, fast and low cost.
ABSTRACT
Rivaroxaban, an anti-clotting medication, acts at a crucial point in the blood-clotting process and stops the formation of blood clots. In this study, RP-HPLC method was developed for the determination of rivaroxaban in tablets (Xarelto® (10 mg)). Phenomenex Luna 5 µm C18 100 Å LC Column (250 x 4.6 mm) was used at 40 ºC. Isocratic elution was performed with ACN:Water (55:45 v/v) mixture. The flow rate was 1.2 mL min-1 and UV detection was at 249 nm. Internal standard (Caffeine) and rivaroxaban were eluted within 2.21 and 3.37 minutes, respectively. The developed method was validated according to the ICH guidelines and found to be linear within the range 0.005 - 40.0 µg mL-1. The method was accurate, precise, robust and rapid. Thus, it was applied successfully for the quality control assay of rivaroxaban in tablet dosage form.
Rivaroxabana, fármaco anticoagulante, atua em um ponto crucial no processo de coagulação do sangue e impede a formação de coágulos sanguíneos. Neste estudo, desenvolveu-se método de RP-HPLC para a determinação de rivaroxabana em comprimidos (Xarelto ® (10 mg)). Utilizou-se coluna LC (250 x 4,6 mm) Phenomenex Luna C18 5 mm 100 Å a 40 ºC. Realizou-se eluição isocrática com ACN: água (55:45 v/v). O fluxo foi de 1,2 mL min-1 e a detecção de UV foi a 249 nm. Padrão interno (cafeína) e rivaroxabana eluíram em 2,21 e 3,37 minutos, respectivamente. O método desenvolvido foi validado de acordo com as diretrizes do ICH e mostrou-se linear na faixa 0,005-40,0 mg mL-1. O método foi exato, preciso, robusto e rápido. Assim, foi aplicado com êxito para o ensaio de controle de qualidade da Rivaroxabana na forma de comprimidos.
