Aim: This study aimed to develop a reliable IVRT method using Franz diffusion cells. An environmentally friendly U-HPLC method was created to analyze Desonide in the samples. objective: This includes assessing Linearity, robustness, precision, sensitivity, reproducibility, selectivity, specificity, and recovery. In the context of In-vitro Release Testing (IVRT), the concept of accuracy becomes irrelevant because there isn't a definitive "actual" release rate. This is due to the variability in API release rates for a specific semisolid formulation under different test conditions Objective: To evaluate the drug release in Desonide products in accordance with SUPAC guidance, quantify the drug concentration using an analytical method, as per bioanalytical method validation guidelines, and ensure that the results meet the acceptance criteria. Linearity was established from 0.50μg/mL to 40μg/mL with acceptable regression values. Precision was confirmed three times, with an average % RSD of below 15% for 3 sets of 6QC level sample preparations. Stability tests demonstrated Desonide stability in receptor fluid (LLOQ and ULOQ) for 72 hours at 2-8°C and 25°C. Autosampler stability at LQC and HQC levels was proven at 25°C for 72 hours. Additionally, the stock solution remained stable at both 25°C and 2-8°C for 72 hours. Methods: The study involved evaluating the dosing regimen, release medium, and membrane while optimizing the U-HPLC method based on three variables including column temperature, mobile phase composition, and flow rate. After experimentation, it was determined that Nylon membrane and 0.9% NaCl: Methanol release media (70:30 v/v) with 1000 mg dose were used to maximize the release profile of desonide. Results: The created explanatory strategy is precise, delicate, and exact for measuring Desonide, with satisfactory Limits of Location LOD and Lower Limits of Measurement LLOQ measured at 0.15 and 0.50 ng /mL, respectively. The Regression coefficient r2 was identified to be 0.9996. The degree of Desonide measurement lessening was considered palatable, basically since the recuperation was underneath 30.00, additionally due to the favourable linear relationship watched within the Desonide discharge rates amid the IVRT study. Conclusion: All three generic products analyzed were found to be equivalent to the RLD, meeting for \"sameness\" outlined in the FDA's SUPAC-SS guidance. A novel U-HPLC method was developed for Desonide, covering the range from 0.5 to 40 μg/ml, with intra and inter-day variability below 2% RSD. Additional characterizations were established, and the stability of Desonide was successfully determined.","PeriodicalId":10889,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmaceutical Analysis","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141588433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among them, spectrophotometry is considered to be one of the most commonly used simple techniques. Drugs that lack chromogenic groups can be readily determined by using the chromogenic reagents, which react with the functional groups present in the drugs and produce a chromogenic group that can be detected in the visible region using a spectrophotometer. Chromogenic reagents play a vital role in the estimation of such types of drugs. Vanillin is one of the chromogenic reagents that possess a carbonyl group that reacts with the drugs that possess amine moiety and results in the formation of Schiff’s base, which is a yellow-colored compound that can be detected by spectrophotometry. The present review gives insights into the reaction conditions and applications of the drugs that are estimated by using vanillin as a chromogenic label.","PeriodicalId":10889,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmaceutical Analysis","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients with femoropopliteal venous thrombosis may use rivaroxaban along with diosmin. Rivaroxaban is the substrate of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp), but diosmin is the inhibitor. The combination might lead to Drug-drug Interaction (DDI). The aim of this study was to assess the effect of diosmin on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rivaroxaban in rats. Methods: Plasma concentration of rivaroxaban in the absence or presence of diosmin groups was determined by High-performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated and used to evaluate pharmacokinetics interactions. Anticoagulation was investigated by Prothrombin Time (PT), International Normalized Ratio (INR), and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT). Antithrombotic efficacy was investigated by the length of tail thrombosis, the content levels of Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and D-dimer (D-D) in rats, and histopathological sections in the tail thrombosis model. Results: Maximum concentration (Cmax), 0-t Area Under the Curve (AUC0–t), 0-∞ Area Under the Curve (AUC0–∞) of rivaroxaban increased significantly in the combination group. PT, INR, and APPT in the combination group exhibited an increase compared to the Rivaroxaban group. Simultaneously, the length of tail thrombosis and levels of IL-1β and D-D were significantly reduced. Significant improvement of tissue histology in tail thrombosis could be observed. Conclusion: Taken together, diosmin could significantly affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rivaroxaban, and enhance anticoagulant and antithrombotic efficacy in rats. More attention should be paid to avoid harmful DDI in the clinic.","PeriodicalId":10889,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmaceutical Analysis","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140838907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Impurities in drugs have a significant impact on their quality and are one of the substantial causes of drug recalls, ultimately leading to the unavailability of the drug in the market. Hence, there is a need for a robust, quality risk management and quality by design-driven analytical method that can detect the antiviral drug, Daclatasvir dihydrochloride, in the presence of its probable impurities. Objective:: This study aimed to develop a Quality by Design-driven stability- indicating liquid chromatography method for Daclatasvir dihydrochloride and the characterization of its putative degradants by LC-MS. Method:: The fishbone diagram and quality risk assessment investigated twenty-four process parameters and concluded that three risk parameters, i.e., flow rate, buffer pH, and stationary phase type, were the critical process parameters. The critical quality attributes viz. resolution between impurity 6 and DCV and impurity 2 & 3 (Rs˃1.5), the shape of the peak of DCV which is decided by the Number of Theoretical Plates (NTP˃5000), and the retention time of Daclatasvir (tR14-23 mins) were optimized using a two-level three-factor full factorial design with five center points. Results:: The optimized method is stability-indicating in its true sense as it can separate the sample with its degradants generated in basic (three), acidic (two), oxidative (H2O2: three, Azobisisobutyronitrile: one), photo (three), and dry heat (one) conditions. Degradants structures were elucidated, and degradation routes were established, using LC-MS and LC-MS/MS analyses. Conclusion:: The drug is highly susceptible to acid, base hydrolysis, and oxidation degradation conditions and poses a significant risk to the analytical method to fail in system suitability criteria. Hence, a robust and flexible chromatographic method with the capacity for continuous improvement was developed and successfully validated within the criteria of design space.","PeriodicalId":10889,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmaceutical Analysis","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140838757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
