A gradient reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the determination of Prasugrel hydrochloride and its related substances. The well chromatographic separation of prasugrel from its seven related substances and degradation products was achieved on Sunfire C18, 5mm (250mm x 4.6mm) column temperature maintained at 45°C with a mobile phase A: 0.1% v/v orthophosphoric acid in water and mobile phase B: 0.1% v/v orthophosphoric acid in acetonitrile. The flow rate was 1.0mL/min, and the detection wavelength was 220nm. The developed method was validated for specificity, forced degradation studies, sensitivity (LOD and LOQ), linearity, precision (system precision, method precision and intermediate precision), accuracy, stability of standard and sample solutions and robustness. The method is linear with a concentration range of 0.085-3.218µg/ml with correlation coefficients more than 0.9997 for prasugrel and its related substances. The method recoveries obtained are ranged between 96.4% -101.1% for LOQ levels and 94.7%-103.3% for remaining levels. The method was found to be specific, linear, sensitive, precise, rugged, accurate, robust and...

Peperomia pellucida L. (H.B.K.)is an arboreal species occurring in the secondary vegetation in Amazonia. This study aims to perform anatomy analysis by light microscopy and microchemistry analysis of leaves and petiole of P. pellucida. It was observed that the cells, on the adaxial surface, are juxtaposed with irregular shape and heterodimensional and straight walls and, the abaxial surface is formed by juxtaposed and irregularly shaped cells with thin and heterodimensional walls. The microchemical tests showed the presence of secondary metabolites, mainly in the palisade tissue, such as alkaloids, flavonoids and starch. Such anatomical and microchemical features are fundamental in the characterization of the...

The study was carried out to assess the antibacterial & cytotoxic activities of extracts from leaf parts of the plant, Averrhoa bilimbi. Ethanol, methanol and water were used as solvents and antibacterial & cytotoxic effects were measured using disc diffusion test & brine shrimp lethality bioassay (BSLB). The susceptibility of the microorganisms to the extracts of this plant was compared with standard antibiotic cefadroxil. Water extract exhibited more potent antimicrobial activity by inhibiting wide range of gram positive and gram negative bacteria in comparison to ethanolic and methanolic extract of leaves of A. bilimbi. On the other hand, the ethanolic extract of A. bilimbi leaves( EEL) was found to be the most toxic to Brine Shrimp nauplii, with LC50 of 3.7 μg/ml whereas anticancer drug vincristine sulfate (VS) proved LC50 value 1.73 μg/ml indicating that the potent cytotoxic compounds in this plant have affinity for non- polar solvents. The spectrum of activity observed in the present study may provide the indication that the plant could be a possible source...

A simple, rapid, accurate, precise and economical RP- HPLC method with UV detection was optimized, developed and validated as per ICH-Q2 guideline for the simultaneous estimation of Esomeprazole magnesium trihydrate (ESO), Itopride hydrochloride (ITO) and Mosapride citrate (MOSA) in laboratory sample. An optimum condition of separation and detection was developed on a reverse-phase Supelco 516 C18 DB column (250mm×4.6mm i.d., 5µ particle size), using a mobile phase composition of phosphate buffer (20mM, pH-7.4 adjusted with sodium hydroxide):acetonitrile:methanol in the ratio of a 20:20:60 (%v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min with UV detection at 275 nm within 6 min with retention time of 3.09, 3.89 and 5.19 for ESO, ITO and MOSA respectively. The standard curves were linear over the concentration range of 2-12 μg/mL, 7.5-45 μg/mL and 1.5-9 μg/mL for ESO, ITO and MOSA respectively with R2 more than 0.999. The developed method was validated in terms of accuracy, precision, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification. From the validation results it was concluded that proposed method...

In this study, aspirin (AS) and isosorbide 5-mononitrate(ISM) sustained bilayer tablets were developed by wet granulation and compression technique, the influence of the contents of PVPP on the dissolution of AS from the tablets was investigated. An orthogonal experiment design was used to optimize ISM sustained release layer. The tablets were tested for their drug content, hardness, thickness, friability, and in vitro release characteristics. The optimized formulation of sustained bilayer tablets contains ISM 60 mg, HPMC K100M 45 mg, CMC-Na 12 mg, HPMC K15M 12 mg, lactose 50 mg and aerosol 3 mg for sustained release layer of ISM, PVP K30 Ethanol solution was used as adhesives. The optimized formulation of sustained bilayer tablets contains AS 75mg, PVPP 10mg, citrate acid 15mg, MCC 35mg, pregelatinized starch 15mg and 2mg talc for fast release layer. The drug release of AS was above 80% at 0.5h hour and ISM was above 70% at 7h in the optimized...
