ABSTRACT: The present study was proposed to develop a simple, rapid, and economical UHPLC method was described for the method development, validation and forced degradation for the simultaneous estimation of glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate in bulk drug. The chromatographic conditions were observed in the column using Zorbax RXC18 (150 × 4.6 mm) 5 µm using a mobile phase composition of Water: Acetonitrile: Methanol (20:30:50 v/v) and pH was adjusted to 3.0 with dilute orthophosphoric acid. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min, and the analytes were recorded at 279 nm. The Retention time (RT) was observed in 1.208 for Glycopyrrolate and 5.897 for Formoterol fumarate. A calibration curve was linear with a coefficient correlation between 0.999 to 1.0 over a concentration range of 20-60µg/ml for glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 0.003,0.011µg/ml for Glycopyrrolate and 0.108,0.32µg/ml for formoterol fumarate. All the validation parameters were within the acceptance range according to ICH norms. The validation and forced degradation study was performed for the proposed method and applied successfully to simultaneously estimate glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate. This method was precise, accurate, robust and economical.

INTRODUCTION:
Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromato-graphy: Totally porous, spherical silica dominated the HPLC market from the 1980s to the 2000s. The average particle size continually decreased from 10 µm to 5 µm to 3 µm 1, 2. The trend towards smaller particles is driven by improved performance in terms of speed, sensitivity, and resolution.
Smaller particles, however, require higher operating pressures, and in 2004 instruments were commercialized that could utilize columns prepared with sub-2 µm particles. Fig. 1 illustrates the chromatographic performance of four typical particle sizes used in HPLC.
FIG. 1: CHROMATOGRAPHIC PERFORMANCE FOR FOUR COMMON PARTICLE SIZES
Principle: The UHPLC is based on the principle of use of stationary phase consisting of particles less than 2.5 μm (while HPLC columns are typically filled with particles of 3 to 5 μm). The underlying principles of this evolution are governed by the “Van Deemeter equation” which is an empirical formula that describes the relationship between linear velocity (flow rate) and plate height (HETP or column efficiency) 3.
H=A+ B/v+ Cv
Where; A, B , and C are constants; V is the velocity of the sample.
Analytical Method Development of Glyco-pyrrolate and Formoterol Fumarate: Glyco-pyrolate is a quaternary ammonium salt. Chemically, Glycopyrrolate is (RS) - [3 (SR) – Hydroxy - 1, 1 - dimethylpyrrolidinium bromide] α-cyclopentylmandelate. The chemical formula is C19H28BrNO3. The molecular weight is 398.33 g / mol. Glycopyrolate is a crystalline white powder. It is completely dissolvable in water and alcohol and much insoluble in chloroform and ether. Glycopyrrolate, as other anticholinergic (anti muscarinic) drugs, the action of acetylcholine on structures innervated by postganglionic cholinergic nerves and on smooth muscles that respond to acetylcholine it require cholinergic innervations 4. Thus, it diminishes the volume and free acidity of gastric secretions and controls excessive pharyngeal, tracheal and bronchial secretions 5. Formoterol acts as a bronchodilator. It extends the airways of the lungs, so that it helps to inhale all the more effortlessly.
FIG. 2: STRUCTURE OF FORMOTEROL FUMARATE
It may even be utilized to forestall respiratory issues caused by exercise. It can also be utilized for the long-term treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 6. Chemically, Formoterol is N-[2-Hydroxy5-[(1RS)-1 - hydroxyl - 2 - [(1RS) - 2(4 - methoxyphenyl) - 1 - methylethyl] - amino] ethyl] phenyl] formamide (E) - 2 - butenedioatedihydrate. The chemical formula is C19H24N2 O. C4H4O2H2 O. The molecular weight is 840.91 g / mol.

DISCUSSION: Stability indicating UHPLC method is a simple, rapid, precise, accurate method for analyzing each component in a mixture. The previous study had reported in the literature survey. In this UHPLC method, we used UV-detector to prove the selectivity of the method. The method was validated according to the ICH guidelines on validation of analytical procedures and stability testing of new drug substance and products.
In order to develop a UHPLC method for estimation of glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate, different buffer ratios and flow rates were applied. Water: Acetonitrile: Methanol (20:30:50) v/v as mobile phase and discovery C18 column was selected. Separation of glycopyrrolate 1.208 min and formoterol fumarate is 5.897 min was detected by the wavelength of 279 nm. In this method UV- detector is able to identify the glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate and degradation products. Method was validated. The results of validation parameters had shown in compliance of ICH guidelines. The range of linearity had good correlation with concentration and peak area. The correlation coefficients for glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate were 0.999 and 0.999, respectively. Which indicates that the concentration range was highly linear. In the assay the amount of both drugs recovered was found to be 99.81% and 99.60%, respectively.
Hence, the stability-indicating assay method was found to be appropriate for the analysis of the drug. The separation of degradation peak for degradants products was observed under peroxide and thermal hydrolysis.
CONCLUSION: A simple and sensitive stability-indicating UHPLC method was developed for simultaneous estimation of glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate. It concludes that all the parameters are within limits and meet the acceptance criteria of ICH guidelines for method validation. The proposed method was simple, accurate, specific precise, robust, and economical. Hence this method is validated and can be used for routine and stable sample analysis.
