Oseltamivir is an antiviral drug and is used in the treatment of all influenza viruses. It is the most effective antiviral option against all influenza viruses that can infect humans. UV and LC methods have been developed and validated according to ICH guidelines for various parameters like selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD and LOQ, robustness for the quantitative determination of oseltamivir in pharmaceutical formulations. LC method has been performed using reverse phase technique on a C-18 column with a mobile phase consisting of 20 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution and acetonitrile (60:40, v/v) at 25 °C. The mobile phase flow rate was 1.2 mL min−1. For the determination of oseltamivir, UV spectrum has been recorded between 200 and 800 nm using methanol as solvent and the wavelength of 215 nm has been selected. Both methods have demonstrated good linearity, precision and recovery. No spectral and chromatographic interferences from the capsule excipients were found in UV and LC methods. In both methods, correlation coefficients were greater than 0.999 within a concentration range of 10–60 mg mL−1 using UV and LC. Intra-day and inter-day precision with low relative standard deviation values were observed. The accuracy of these methods was within the range 99.85–100.17% for LC and from 99.26 to 100.70% for UV. Therefore UV and LC methods gave the most reliable outcomes for the determination of oseltamivir in pharmaceutical formulation.
Apomorphine is currently used as a dopamine agonist to treat advanced Parkinson Disease. In the present study, we developed a sensitive, simple, reliable, and robust HPLC method for quality control of apomorphine hydrochloride in bulk drug and pharmaceutical formulations. C18 column was used for separation. Isocratic elution was performed using mobile phase A: 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (pH:3 with ortho-phosphoric acid), B: acetonitrile in the ratio of 85:15 (A: B), and the mobile-phase flow rate was kept at 1 mL˖min -1 . Analyses were carried out at 272 nm using a UV detector. A perfect linear relationship between peak-area versus drug concentration in the range of 10-100 μg˖mL -1 was observed (r 2 , 0.9999). It has been found that the developed method is sensitive (Detection and quantification limits were determined as 1.3 μg˖mL -1 and 3.8 μg˖mL -1 , respectively), precise (RSD<0.9%, for repeatability and <1.2% for intermediate precision, inside appropriate precision ranges), accurate (recovery in various dosage forms, 99.68-100.56%, in a reasonable range, 80-120%), specific and robust (RSD% <0.80, for system suitability parameters). The proposed method for the determination of apomorphine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations has been successfully applied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
