Method development and validation: quantitation of telmisartan bulk drug and its tablet formulation by 1 H NMR spectroscopy.

The quantitative NMR (qNMR) spectroscopy is nowadays a new tool for the determination of pharmaceutical potent biologically active molecules in bulk drug and its tablet formulation than the other analytical techniques. Herein, qNMR method was developed for an anti-hypertensive drug, telmisartan in bulk drug and its tablet formulation. The precise method was developed by using malononitrile as an internal standard. The methylene signal of telmisartan appeared at δ = 5.46 ppm (singlet) relative to the signal of malononitrile at δ = 3.59 ppm (singlet) in CDCl3 , as an NMR solvent. The development and validation of the method were carried out as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The method was found to be linear (r2  = 0.9999) for 0.5 to 3.5 mg/ml in the drug concentration range. The relative standard deviation for accuracy and precession was not more than 2.0%. The sensitivity of the method was carried out by limit of detection and a limit of quantification, at 0.05 and 0.2 mg/ml, respectively, concentration. The robustness of the method was studied by changing parameters as well as different solvent manufacturer company. The result shows that method was accurately developed for quantification of telmisartan in pharmaceutical dosage form. The developed method by 1 H NMR spectroscopy is comparatively easy and more precise with respect to the other analytical tools. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Dihedral angle study in Hesperidin using NMR Spectroscopy.

Hesperidin is flavonoid molecule found in citrus fruits (Citrus reticulata), especially difficult to extract, classify and characterize. Present work is to study the unresolved relative configuration of Hesperidin through the dihedral angle, coupling constant and different NMR techniques. The Karplus equation and its modifications have been originated from the valence bond theory and associated with dihedral angle and coupling constant. The result data set of calculated dihedral angle can probe significant method to assign the virtual configuration of natural products and also resolved stereochemistry of Hesperidin at C-2 position in.

Method Development and Validation of a Stability-Indicating RP-HPLC Method for the Quantitative Analysis of Dronedarone Hydrochloride in Pharmaceutical Tablets.

A simple, precise, and accurate HPLC method has been developed and validated for the quantitative analysis of Dronedarone Hydrochloride in tablet form. An isocratic separation was achieved using a Waters Symmetry C8 (100 × 4.6 mm), 5 µm particle size column with a flow rate of 1 ml/min and UV detector at 290 nm. The mobile phase consisted of buffer: methanol (40:60 v/v) (buffer: 50 mM KH2PO4 + 1 ml triethylamine in 1 liter water, pH=2.5 adjusted with ortho-phosphoric acid). The method was validated for specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, and solution stability. The specificity of the method was determined by assessing interference from the placebo and by stress testing the drug (forced degradation). The method was linear over the concentration range 20-80 µg/ml (r(2) = 0.999) with a Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) of 0.1 and 0.3 µg/ml respectively. The accuracy of the method was between 99.2-100.5%. The method was found to be robust and suitable for the quantitative analysis of Dronedarone Hydrochloride in a tablet formulation. Degradation products resulting from the stress studies did not interfere with the detection of Dronedarone Hydrochloride so the assay is thus stability-indicating.
