A simple, sensitive, and reproducible reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method, coupled with a photodiode array detector, was developed for the determination of rupatadine (RUPA) and its related substances in pharmaceutical dosage forms. Chromatographic separation was achieved on the Hypersil BDS (150 x 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column with a mobile phase containing a gradient...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to develop and validate a new reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method based on Q2 (R1) International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guideline for determination of curcumin in pharmaceutical samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS The HPLC instrument method was optimized with isocratic elution with acetonitrile: ammonium acetate (45:55...

The present work reports a stability indicating reversed phase ultra performance liquid chromatography (RP-UPLC) method for the quantitative determination of quetiapine in pharmaceutical dosage form. The chromatographic separation is performed on an Agilent Eclipse Plus C18, RRHD 1.8 μm (50 mm x 2.1 mm) column using gradient elution. The optimized mobile phase consists of 0.1 % aqueous triethyl...

Impurity profiling includes a description of the identified and unidentified impurities present in new drug substances or drug products. Isolation and elucidation of the structures of degradation products are typically collaborative research involving knowledge of analytical, organic and physical chemistry with spectroscopic information. Stability testing guidelines issued by International Conf...

The aim of study is to establish pharmaceutical equivalence of different brands of Metformin tablets available in Karachi, Pakistan. The quality control parameters which are studied are weight variation test, hardness test, thickness, friability, disintegration and dissolution specified by BP/USP (British and United State Pharmacopoeia). Weight variation and hardness value requirement was compl...

Literature data relevant to the decision to allow a waiver of in vivo bioequivalence (BE) testing for the approval of immediate release (IR) solid oral dosage forms containing levofloxacin as the only active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) are reviewed. According to the current Biopharmaceutics Classification System, levofloxacin can be assigned to Class I. No problems with BE of IR levofloxaci...

A simple, precise, accurate, simultaneous and stability-indicating RPLC method developed with an effective resolution for active pharmaceutical ingredients and marketed drug products. This method effectively separate all the related substances of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol along with impurities. This method is using in the estimation assay of Ibuprofen and paracetamol in drug substance also. The...

Harmonization encompasses all efforts made in a search for differences in policies and procedures and minimizing these. Since it reduces variability and errors, harmonization certainly leads to the quality improvement in every system. During the 3rd EFLM-BD European Conference on Preanalytical Phase held during 20 – 21 March in Porto (Portugal), representatives of many member societies of Europ...
