Development and validation of RP-HPLC,HPTLC and UV-visible spectrophotometric methods for simultaneous estimation of alprazolam and propranolol hydrochloride in their combined dosage form

Three accurate, sensitive and reproducible methods are described for the quantitative determination of alprazolam (ALP) and propranolol hydrochloride (PNL) in their combined dosage form. The first method involves an RP-HPLC separation on the C₁₈ column using acetonitrile-25 mM ammonium acetate buffer and 0.2% triethylamine (pH of buffer adjusted to 4 with glacial acetic acid) in the ratio of 35: 65 (v/v) as mobile phase.

Quantification was done with photo diode array detection at 255 nm over the concentration ranges of 0.5–50 and 10–250 μg/mL for ALP and PNL, respectively. The second method is based on the separation of drugs by HPTLC using chloroform-methanol-ammonia 7: 0.8: 0.1 (v/v/v) as mobile phase. Quantification was achieved using UV detection at 248 nm over the concentration range of 100–600 ng/spot and 5–30 μg/spot for ALP and PNL, respectively. The third method involves dual wavelength UV-visible spectrophotometric method. It is based on the determination of PNL at 319.4 nm using its absorptivity value and ALP at 258.2 nm after deduction of absorbance due to PNL. Quantification was achieved over the concentration range of 1–40 and 80–200 μg/mL for ALP and PNL, respectively. All methods were validated according to ICH guidelines and successively applied to marketed pharmaceutical formulation, and the results of all three methods were compared statistically as well. No interference from the tablet excipients was found.

Verapamil is a calcium channel blocking agent which has found widespread use in the management of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, angina pectoris, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hypertension. It is converted to its biologically active metabolite nor-verapamil in liver by cytochrome P450. In present communication, synthesis and characterization of nor-verapamil and development of reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for the quantification of nor-verapamil along with verapamil in plasma has been carried out. The characterization of nor-verapamil was carried out using GC-MS, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy.

The flow rate was maintained at 1.0 mL/min and UV detection at 222 nm. The calibration for verapamil and nor-verapamil were found to be linear over concentration range of 50–300 ng/mL with correlation coefficient (n = 6) of 0.9995 and 0.9997, respectively. This method was validated according to USFDA guidelines. The method was found to be simple, accuare, precise sensitive and selective for the determination of verapamil and nor-verapamil in plasma and thus useful in bioequivalence studies of verapamil.

There were no statistically significant differences between HPLC and HPTLC for quantitative determination of chlorogenic acid according to the test of equality of the means.     

Determination and pharmacokinetic study of bergenin in rat plasma by RP-HPLC method

A validated reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method was developed for the determination of bergenin in rat plasma. Bergenin in rat plasma was extracted with methanol, which also acted as a deproteinization agent. Chromatographic separation of bergenin was performed on a C(18) column, with a mobile phase of methanol-water (22:78, v/v) at a flow-rate of 0.8 mL/min and an operating temperature of 40 degrees C, and UV detection was set at 220 nm.

The extraction recoveries were 83.40 +/- 6.02, 81.49 +/- 2.40 and 72.51 +/- 2.64% at concentrations of 0.5, 5 and 50 microg/mL, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy were validated by relative standard deviation (RSD%) and relative error (RE%), which were in the ranges 3.74-9.91 and -1.6-8.0%. After intravenous administration to rats at the dose of 11.25 mg/kg, the plasma concentration-time curve of bergenin was best conformed to a two-compartment open model. The main pharmacokinetic parameters indicated that bergenin exhibited a wide distribution and moderate elimination velocity in rat.

A simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography method has been developed for the determination of Danshensu (3, 4-dihydroxyphenyllactic acid) in dog plasma. Plasma samples were extracted with ethyl acetate. Analysis of the extracts was performed on a reversed-phase column with an aqueous phosphate buffer-acetonitrile (93:7, v/v) mobile phase, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid was used as the internal standard.

Standard curves were linear in the range from 0.125 to 11.3 microg/mL (regression coefficient r > 0.993) on three different days. Mean recovery was determined as 96.4% by analysis of plasma standard containing 0.63, 5.65 and 11.3 microg/mL of Danshensu. The inter-day precision (RSD) ranged from 3.4 to 8.6% at concentrations of 0.125, 1.88, 6.28 and 11.3 microg/mL, and the intra-day precision was better than 7.2%.

Analytical strategy for the assessment of the protein glycation status in uremic patients by high-performance liquid chromatography.

We propose a newly integrated procedure for the analysis of furosine (early glycation product) and pentosidine (glycoxidation end-product) in plasma proteins and the simultaneous assessment of advanced glycation end-product (AGE) peptides and free pentosidine in plasma. In order to determine furosine and protein-linked pentosidine, plasma proteins were hydrolyzed in 8 M HCl and each analyte was purified by solid-phase extraction. Furosine was determined by ion-pair RP-HPLC methodology with isocratic elution and spectrophotometric detection at 280 nm and pentosidine by ion-pair RP-HPLC by using gradient elution and fluorimetric detection at 335/385 nm. To assess free pentosidine concentration and simultaneously evaluate the AGE peptides, an aliquot of plasma sample was diluted and ultrafiltered by using Centricon 10 M(r) < or = 10,000) ultrafiltration membranes. Free pentosidine and AGE peptides were analysed by ion-pair RP-HPLC, by using gradient elution and fluorimetric detection at 385 nm upon excitation at 335 nm. The HPLC methodology has been successfully used for the determination of glycation and glycoxidation protein status in uremic patients.
