This has facilitated growth in pharmaceutical sector internationally along with timely availability of healthcare facilities with assured safety and efficacy. Technological solutions have upgraded the workflow in industry with the assurance of data veracity. Clinical studies demand for a huge controlled study design and data which concerns patient safety; it includes statistical interpretations and analysis. This is mostly time dependent variable and smart use of software and tools accelerate this process. Automation of the work reduces time, efforts and also streamlines timely submissions. Advanced technologies with support of machine learning, artificial intelligence would assist industry and regulatory authorities to build transparency between the documentation and data. Many regulatory agencies have come up with regulations for validation of electronic tools and data integrity to ensure ethical use of these tools. US Federal law, 21CFR is recognized and have been widely accepted. However, most of the countries have their own regulatory agency that governs these regulations. Artificial Intelligence have come up with add-on features which would overcome the lag in the systems and simplify the operations and interpretations of various studies in pharmaceutical sector.

The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method was used to determine the effects on cell viability. Tests were also performed on a healthy human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK-293T) to evaluate the selectivity of the compound.

The retention times for the target compounds and impurities were as follows: BLS impurity-A: 1509<!--> <!-->min, BLS impurity-B: 3435<!--> <!-->min, BLS: 5668<!--> <!-->min, MTK impurity-A: 8137<!--> <!-->min, MTK: 9784<!--> <!-->min, MTK impurity-B: 11,853<!--> <!-->min. The unspecified impurities in the degradation samples were detected at retention times of 2174, 2657, 3368, 4143, 8239, 11,722, and 12,436<!--> <!-->minutes, and were characterized using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The UPLC-based analytical method demonstrated in this study is an effective and efficient technique for the quantification of BLS, MTK, and their associated impurities in tablet formulations. This method has been validated in accordance with ICH Q2(R2) and USP <1225> guidelines.</div></div><div><h3>Objectifs</h3><div>Cette étude présente une nouvelle méthode de chromatographie liquide ultra-performante (UPLC) pour la détection rapide, simple et précise des contaminants dans les formulations de comprimés de bilastine (BLS) et de montélukast (MTK).</div></div><div><h3>Matériel et méthodes</h3><div>La séparation des impuretés BLS A, BLS BLS, BLS, MTK A, MTK et MTK B a été réalisée à l’aide d’une colonne Acquity BEH C18 (50<!--> <!-->×<!--> <!-->2,1<!--> <!-->mm, 1,7<!--> <!-->μm) dans des conditions d’éluant à gradient. Les phases mobiles étaient constituées de 0,1 % de triéthylamine dans l’eau avec un pH ajusté à 2,5 à l’aide d’acide orthophosphorique (phase mobile A) et d’acétonitrile (phase mobile B). Le rapport entre les phases mobiles A et B était de 70:30 (v/v). Le débit de la colonne a été fixé à 0,2<!--> <!-->mL/min et le détecteur à barrette de photodiodes (PDA) a été utilisé pour quantifier les analytes. La longueur d’onde de détection a été fixée à 224<!--> <!-->nm.</div></div><div><h3>Résultats</h3><div>En seulement 20 minutes, 13 analytes ont été séparés avec succès.
