ABSTRACT: A simple, selective, ingenuous, reasonable, speedy, Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) was developed for simultaneous estimation of neomycin and fluocinolone in its tablet dosage form. The separation was eluted using a mobile phase of buffer and methanol in the proportion of 50:50 a pumped at a flow rate of 1 ml/min besides 250 nm as a UV detection wavelength. The stationary phase used was column discovery 250 × 4.6 mm, 5m. The drug samples were eluted at a retention time of neomycin 2.403 min and fluocinolone 3.303 min. The proposed analysis was developed and validated based on ICH guidelines by taking into account the parameters such as precision, accuracy, linearity, specificity, robustness, limit of detection, limit of quantification and degradation studies. The developed RP-HPLC method proved to be stability indicating by the resolution of samples with their forced degradation studies. The designed method used for routine analysis of neomycin and fluocinolone in combined dosage form. For peak detection and purity confirmation PDA was used as a tool.

INTRODUCTION: The component of neomycin produced from Streptomycin fradiae. On hydrolysis it yields neoamine and neobiosamine B. Neomycin is a bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotic that binds to the 30s ribosome of susceptible organisms. Binding interferes with mRNA binding and acceptor tRNA sites and results in the production of non-functional or toxic peptides 1, 2, 3. The neomycin is a variable mixture of two stereo isomers, neomycin B and C which are active components and neomycin A is degradation product 4, 5.
The chemical name of neomycin is (2S, 3S, 4R, 5R, 6R) -5-amino-2-(aminomethyl)-6-{[(2R, 3S, 4R, 5S)-5-{[(1R, 2R, 3S, 5R, 6S)-3,5-diamino-2-{[(2R, 3R, 4R, 5S, 6R)-3-amino-6-(aminomethyl)-4,5-dihydroxyoxan-2-yl] oxy} -6- hydroxycyclo hexyl]oxy}-4-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl) oxolan-3-yl] oxy} oxane-3, 4-diol. Neomycin assay interferences from drugs, such as bacitracin and polymyxin B and inactive components, e.g. wax, were eliminated by a methanol wash and/or a partitioning method 6.
The extracted neomycin was derivatized with 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene followed by normal-phase HPLC with detection at 254 nm. The average recovery of neomycin from spiked samples was ˜100% with a relative standard deviation of <1% 4. Now these neomycin and fluocinolone are official in US pharmacopeia 7. The structure of neomycin was shown below.
Fluocinolone is glucocorticoid derivative used topically in the treatment of various skin disorders and inflammatory eye, ear, and nose diseases 8. It has high anti inflammatory activity and is usually used formulated as a cream, gel, lotion, or ointment 9, 10, 11. It is usually employed as a cream, gel, lotion, or ointment. It has also been used topically in the treatment of inflammatory eye, ear and nose disorders 12. The chemical name of fluocinolone is (1S, 2S, 4R, 8S, 9S, 11S, 12R, 13S, 19S)-12,19-difluoro-11-hydroxy-8-(2-hydroxyacetyl)-6,6,9,13-tetramethyl-5,7-dioxapentacyclo [10.8.0.0², ⁹.0⁴, ⁸.0¹³, ¹⁸] icosa-14,17-dien-16-one 13, 14 and the was shown below. A few analytical methods have been reported for neomycin and fluocinolone individually or with some other combination; some of them were being development of an RP-HPLC method for analysis of fluocinolone acetonide in gel and ointment 9. Analysis of residual neomycin in honey by LC-MS/MS 15. There is no official method reported for this combination so far.
The main aim of this method was to determine and validate, in assimilation with International Conference on Harmonization guidelines 16, 17, 18, 19, an accurate, economical, and reproducible procedure for quantitative analysis of neomycin and fluocinolone in the bulk drug and in tablet dosage forms. It was thought advisable to develop precise, accurate, simple RP-HPLC method for simultaneous estimation of neomycin and fluocinolone.

In addition, there was no any deterrence at the retention time in the chromatogram of placebo solution. In peak purity analysis with PDA, purity angle was always less than purity threshold for the analyte.
This shows that the peaks of analyte were pure and excipients in the formulation does not interfere the analyte. The data are presented in the Table 5.
Limit of Detection and Limit of Quantification: Limit of Detection (LOD) is the lowest concentration of an analyte in a sample that can be detected but not quantified. LOD is expressed as a concentration at a specified signal to noise ratio. The LOD will not only depend on the procedure of analysis but also on the type of instrument. In chromatography, detection limit is the injected amount that results in a peak with a height at least twice or thrice as high as baseline noise level.
The LOD for neomycin was found to be 0.02.
The LOD for fluocinolone was found to be 0.01.
Limit of Quantification (LOQ) is defined as lowest concentration of analyte in a sample that can be determined with acceptable precision and accuracy and reliability by a given method under stated experimental conditions. LOQ is expressed as a concentration at a specified signal to noise ratio. In chromatography, limit of quantification is the injected amount that results in a peak with a height, ten times as high as base line noise level.
The LOQ for neomycin was found to be 0.06.
The LOQ for fluocinolone was found to be 0.02.
Robustness: Robustness is estimated by making deliberate changes in the chromatographic conditions like change in temperature, flow rate, and mobile phase composition and evaluated for the impact on the method. It was observed from the chromatograms that the results were within the limits. This indicates that the method developed is robust and the data was shown in the Table 6.

The degradation was observed by standard peak areas of the drug substances with same drug molecules of degraded peak areas. The percentage of degradation was designed from the peak area acquired in degradation conditions and it was compared with assay of standard conditions.

The percentage assay degradation in both acidic and alkali conditions was found to be within the limits. Oxidative degradation studies, thermal, photo, neutral stability studies were conducted by applying the conditions mentioned in the general procedures. The purity of angle is found to be less than that of purity of threshold in all the conditions which indicates that the developed method was stability indicating. The forced degradation studies were conducted without planning to identify the degradation products but only to show that they are not interfering with active molecules if any present. The data of stress studies are shown in Table 7.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: A simple, rapid, economical, precise and accurate method has been developed and validated for the drug neomycin and fluocinolone.
