Stability-Indicating Chromatographic Methods for Simultaneous Determination of Mosapride and Pantoprazole in Pharmaceutical Dosage Form and Plasma Samples

Simple, sensitive, selective, precise, and stability-indicating thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods for the determination of mosapride and pantoprazole in pharmaceutical tablets were developed and validated as per the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The TLC method employs aluminum TLC plates precoated with silica gel 60F₂₅₄ as the stationary phase and ethyl acetate/methanol/toluene (4:1:2, v/v/v) as the mobile phase to give compact spots for mosapride (R _f 0.73) and pantoprazole (R _f 0.45) separated from their degradation products; the chromatogram was scanned at 276 nm. The HPLC method utilizes a C18 column and a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile/methanol/20 mM ammonium acetate (4:2:4, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min⁻¹ for the separation of mosapride (t _R 11.4) and pantoprazole (t _R 4.4) from their degradation products. Quantitation was achieved with UV detection at 280 nm. The same HPLC method was successfully used in performing calibrations in lower concentration ranges for both drugs in human plasma using ezetimibe as internal standard. The methods were validated in terms of accuracy, precision, linearity, limits of detection, and limits of quantification. Mosapride and pantoprazole were exposed to acid hydrolysis and then analyzed by the proposed methods. As the methods could effectively separate the drugs from their degradation products, these techniques can be employed as stability-indicating methods that have been successively applied to pharmaceutical formulations without interference from the excipients. Moreover the HPLC method was successfully used in the determination of both drugs in spiked human plasma.

Simultaneous High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Theophylline and Ethylenediamine in Aminophylline Dosage Forms as Their Dansyl Derivatives

Abstract

A simple HPLC method has been developed for the assay of the components of aminophylline (theophylline: ethylenediamine 2:1) in solid and liquid dosage forms. Following the extraction of tablets into or the dilution of a liquid dosage form with water, the aqueous extract was reacted with dansyl chloride in an alkaline medium. The mixture of the dansyl derivatives of theophylline and ethylediamine was analyzed on an reversed phase μBondapak Cia column, using a methanol-water-acetic acid-triethylamine (60–65: 33–38: 1. 5:0. 5) mobile phase delivered at the rate of 1.5 mL/min, and a detection wavelength of 254 nm. In addition to exhibiting excellent accuracy and precision, the method yielded detector responses that were linearly related to concentrations of theophylline and ethylenediamine in aminophylline of up to 7 mg of theophylline, and of up to 10 mg

Development of Validated Chromatographic Methods for the Simultaneous Determination of Metronidazole and Spiramycin in Tablets

Two chromatographic methods have been described for the simultaneous determination of metronidazole (MET) and spiramycin (SPY) in their mixtures. The first method was based on a high performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) separation of the two drugs followed by densitometric measurements of their spots at 240 nm. The separation was carried out on Merck TLC aluminum sheets of silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ using methanol: chloroform (9:1, v/v) as a mobile phase. Analysis data was used for the linear regression line in the range of 1.0–2.0 and 0.8–2.0 μg band⁻¹ for MET and SPY, respectively. The second method was based on a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic separation of the cited drugs on a C-18 column (5 μm, 250 × 4.6 mm, i.d.). The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of phosphate buffer of pH 2.4 and acetonitrile (70:30, v/v). The separation was carried out at ambient temperature with a flow rate of 1.0 mL min⁻¹. Quantitation was achieved with UV detection at 232 nm based on peak area with linear calibration curves at concentration ranges 0.4–50.0 and 0.5–50.0 μg mL⁻¹ for MET and SPY, respectively. The proposed chromatographic methods were successfully applied to the determination of the investigated drugs in pharmaceutical preparations. Both methods were validated in compliance with ICH guidelines; in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, limits of detection and quantitation and other aspects of analytical validation.
