“…Literature survey reveals that several analytical methods are available for determination of Erlotinib hydrochloride through spectrophotometric methods (Padmalatha et al, 2011;Rajesh et al, 2011), through HPLC (Karunakara et al, 2012;Faivre et al, 2012;Chakravarthy et al, 2011;Xu et al,2011;Paez et al,2004;Nageswari et al, 2011;Ravi Kumar et al, 2013;Latha et al, 2013;Soheila et al, 2013;Geetha et al,2012;Pujeri et al, 2009;Naveen kumat et al, 2012;Chahbouni et al, 2009) in bulk drug and dosage form and through LC-MS studies (Satheeshmanikandan et al, 2012;Rivory et al, 2001;Raju et al, 2013;Andrea et al, 2007) in biological matrix. Karunakara et al (2012) presented a paper for the quantification of process impurities in Erlotinib hydrochloride active pharmaceutical ingredient. But they did not perform any degradation studies.…”
