Leflunomide (LLM) is subjected to forced degradation under conditions of hydrolysis, oxidation, dry heat, and photolysis as recommended by International Conference on Harmonization guideline Q1A(R2). In total, four degradation products (I-IV) were formed under different conditions. Products I, II and IV were formed in alkaline hydrolytic, acidic hydrolytic and alkaline photolytic conditions. LL...

A validated stability-indicating RP-HPLC method for etofenamate (ETF) was developed by separating its degradation products on a C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm 5 μm) Qualisil BDS column using a phosphate buffer (pH-adjusted to 6.0 with orthophosphoric acid) and methanol in the ratio of 20:80 % v/v as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column effluents were monitored by a photodiode array d...

The stability-indicating LC assay method was developed and validated for quantitative determination of cefpirome sulfate (CPS) in the presence of degradation products formed during the forced degradation studies. An isocratic HPLC method was developed with Lichrospher RP-18 column, 5 μm particle size, 125 mm x 4 mm column and 12 mM ammonium acetate-acetonitrile (90 : 10 v/v) as a mobile phase. ...

The stability-indicating LC assay method was developed and validated for quantitative determination of cefozopran hydrochloride (CZH) in the presence of degradation products formed during the forced degradation studies. An isocratic, RP-HPLC method was developed with C-18 (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 µm) column and 12 mM ammonium acetate-acetonitrile (92:8, v/v) as a mobile phase. The flow rate of the m...

Homologue of Slimb (HOS)/b-transducin repeats containing proteins up-regulate nuclear factor kB activity by targeting its inhibitor (IkB) for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. We investigated whether inhibition of HOS function may modulate apoptosis in human melanoma cells. Forced expression of the dominant negative HOS construct inhibited IkB degradation and led to sensitization of me...

We have previously demonstrated that cellular stimulation with GH results in the formation of a multiprotein signaling complex. One component of this multiprotein signaling complex is the adapter molecule c-Cbl. Here we have examined the role of c-Cbl in the mechanism of GH signal transduction. Forced expression of c-Cbl in NIH3T3 cells did not alter GH-stimulated Janus kinase 2 tyrosine phosph...

A sensitive, stability-indicating reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method is developed and validated for the quantitative determination of retapamulin in topical dosage form. The chromatographic separation is achieved by using a C18 column (XTerra RP 18 250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) at 30°C. The mobile phase comprises a mixture of 0.05M potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 6.1)...

A simple, selective and stability-indicating high-pressure liquid chromatographic method was developed for the analysis of ribavirin. Chromatographic separation was achieved by using a CPS Hypersil cyano column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 µm particle size) with isocratic elution of the mobile phase, which was composed of 50 mM phosphate buffer, adjusted at pH 4 with phosphoric acid. The mobile phase was p...

The objective of the current study was to establish a validated stability-indicating, high-performance liquid chromatographic method to determine the purity of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and adapalene (ADP) in the presence of its impurities, forced degradation products, and placebo in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The desired chromatographic separation was achieved on the Kinetex(™) C18 (250 × 4.6 m...

A novel approach was used to develop and validate a rapid isocratic Reversed Phase-High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method for the simultaneous estimation of Metformin Hydrochloride and Canagliflozin in bulk and pharmaceutical tablet dosage form with forced degradation studies. The separation was performed by using Kromasil C18 column (250mm×4.6 mm, 5mm particle size), Waters Alliance e2...
