A highly selective, sensitive and accurate HPLC method has been developed and validated for the estimation of four proton-pump inhibitors (PPI), lansoprazole (LPZ), omeprazole (OPZ), pantoprazole (PPZ) and rabeprazole (RPZ), with 500 microL human plasma using zonisamide as an internal standard (IS). The sample preparation involved simple liquid-liquid extraction of LPZ, OPZ, PPZ and RPZ and IS from human plasma with ethyl acetate. The baseline separation of all the peaks was achieved with 0.1% triethylamine (pH 6.0):acetonitrile (72:28, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min on a Zorbax C(8) column. The total chromatographic run time was 11.0 min and the simultaneous elution of IS, OPZ, RPZ, PPZ and LPZ occurred at approximately 2.42, 4.45, 5.02 and 9.37 min, respectively. The method was proved to be accurate and precise at linearity range of 20.61-1999.79 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient (r) of >or=0.999. The limit of quantitation for each of the PPI studied was 20.61 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy values were found to be within the assay variability limits as per the FDA guidelines. The developed assay method was applied to a pharmacokinetic study in human volunteers.
2,3-Diphenyl quinoxaline (NI) was fused with benzimidazole (NII) by a methylene bridge, which was then allowed for acetylation. The acetylated product (NIV) was made to react with different aromatic aldehydes to give chalcones (NV1-NV5). Chalcones refluxed with substituted acid hydrazides to afford different phenyl pyrazolo benzimidazole quinoxaline derivatives (NVI 1-NVI 15). The structure of chalcones and phenyl pyrazolo benzimidazole quinoxaline derivatives were confirmed by m.p, TLC and spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antihistaminic activity. Compounds NVI-3, NVI-12, NVI-13, NVI-14 and NVI-15 were shown good % protection of antihistamic activity.
A highly sensitive, rapid assay method has been developed and validated for the estimation of montelukast (MTK) in human plasma with liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry with electro spray ionization in the positive-ion mode. Liquid-liquid extraction was used to extract MTK and amlodipine (internal standard, IS) from human plasma. Chromatographic separation was achieved with 10 mM ammonium acetate (pH 6.4): acetonitrile (15:85, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.50 mL/min on a Discovery HS C(18) column with a total run time of 3.5 min. The MS/MS ion transitions monitored were 586.10 --> 422.10 for MTK and 409.20 --> 238.30 for IS. Method validation and clinical sample analysis were performed as per FDA guidelines and the results met the acceptance criteria. The lower limit of quantitation achieved was 0.25 ng/mL and linearity was observed from 0.25 to 800 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precisions were 5.97-8.33 and 7.09-10.13%, respectively. This novel method has been applied to a pharmacokinetic study of MTK in humans.
Crystal engineering has succeeded in the design and construction of various architectures such as tapes, ribbons, rosettes, layers etc. Though wavy layer packing is known to occur in crystals, no crystal engineering attempts have been ventured to create wavy layer topology in crystals. Aromatic nitrogen heterocyclics (ANHs) are known to preferentially self assemble in lateral fashion through edge-to-edge CH.N hydrogen bonds. Exploiting this preferential lateral assembly of ANHs, we have engineered wavy layer architectures in the crystals of various substituted quinolines.
