In the present research work, four simple, precise, accurate and economical methods of UV spectroscopy have been developed for the estimation of Rilpivirine in bulk and pharmaceutical formulation. Method A involves estimation of Rilpivirine using low cost solvent, 0.01N HCl by zero order spectroscopy at an absorption maximum of 280nm. Method B involves Area under Curve method which involved calculation of integrated value of absorbance with respect to wavelength between two wavelengths selected, 275nm and 285nm respectively. Method C involves first order derivative technique for the same at 264nm. Method D involves second order derivative technique for the same at 237nm. The developed methods were found to be linear in the concentration range of 0.5-7.5μg/mL with correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9998. The mean percentage label claim of tablets of Rilpivirine estimated by proposed methods was within the acceptable range. The developed methods were validated by following the analytical performance parameters suggested by ICH. All the validation parameters were within the acceptable range. As economical solvent is used, these methods...

OrallyClopidogrel bisulphate has a short elimination half-life (7-8 hrs.), low oral bioavailability (50%) undergoes extensive first pass metabolism (85%) and frequent high doses (75 mg) are required to maintain the therapeutic level as a result, dose development toxic effect. The purpose of this research work was formulation and evaluation of transdermal drug delivery system of Clopidogrel bisulphate using vegetable oils as permeation enhancer by using solvent evaporation technique for improvement of bioavailability of drug and reducing toxic effects. Matrix transdermal patches were prepared by using hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and ethyl cellulose (EC) polymers by incorporating glycerine and dibutylphthalate as plasticizers, respectively. Prepared formulations were evaluated for different physicochemical characteristics like thickness, folding endurance, drug content, percentage moisture absorption, percentage moisture loss weight uniformity, etc.,. All the patches were uniform with respect to physicochemical evaluation. The in vitro drug release studies indicated that HPMC containing films have shown better release than that of EC containing films without any permeation enhancers. The result of diffusion study shows that formulation C7 showed maximum...

The present study describes a simple, accurate and precise RP-HPLC Technique for the simultaneous determination of Flupirtine maleate and Paracetamol in pharmaceutical dosage form. The method involves an isocratic elution of drug in a stationary phase of Phenomenex, C18 (150mm × 4.6mm, 5µm) column using a mobile phase composition of methanol and 0.1% (v/v) orthophosphoric acid in the composition ratio of 60:40 v/v with a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min at 270 nm of detection. The injection volume is 20 µL. the method has been validated for specificity, linearity, range, precision, accuracy, limit of detection, limit of quantification, ruggedness and robustness. The retention times for Flupirtine maleate and Paracetmol are about 3.07 and 4.63 minutes respectively. Quantitative linearity was observed over the concentration range of 10.08 to 302.51 µg/mL for Flupirtine maleate and 4.99 to 99.80 for Paracetamol respectively. The regression equations of concentration of Flupirtine maleate and Paracetamol are found to be y = 1774x+4755, y = 39182x + 64154 respectively where y is the peak area and...

1, 5-Dihydrobenzothiazepines are synthesized by conventional and microwave assisted synthesis methods. By microwave assisted synthesis, a considerable increase in the reaction rate has been observed and that too, with better yields. The compounds have been screened for antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity. 1, 5-Dihydrobenzothiazepines are prepared by the reaction of 1, 3-diarylprop-2-enones with o-aminothiophenol. All the products were tested for purity by tlc and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectral...

The use of medicinal plants as raw material in the production of drugs is again gaining popularity. Monechma ciliatum has many traditional uses and applications in African folk’s medicines, e.g. the seed’s powder macerated in water and drunk or burnt as an inhalation for treatment cold and allergic conditions. The aim of this study is to formulate a suitable dosage form (tablets) from Monechma ciliatum seed’s ethanolic extract. In the process of formulating of low cost, safe, effective and reproducible dosage form the wet granulation method was used. After preformulation studies, two formulae were prepared, formula-1 by using starch as a binder and disintegrant, formula-2 by using polyvinyl pyrrolidine (PVP) and cross carmellose cellulose (CCS) as a binder and disintegrant respectively. The use of starch as disintegrant in tablets of formula- 1, gave the disintegration time of 8: 33 min: sec, while the disintegration time for tablets of formula- 2 was 11: 667 min: sec by using the high cost super disintegrant CCS. Coloring agent was not needed, as...
