ABSTRACT: Climbazole is a topical antifungal agent commonly used to treat human fungal skin infections such as dandruff and eczema. The goal of research work was to develop and validate a simple, precise, quick, and highly efficient UV spectrophotometric approach for quantifying Climbazole in bulk and shampoo dosage form. The quantification was completed using a twin beam UV spectrophotometer at 222 nm and ethanol (99.9%) as the solvent for the estimate. The Climbazole calibration curve exhibit strong correlation coefficient (R2=0.9938) and high linearity in the range of 5–25 µg/ml concentrations. The accuracy was found to be between 98.21%- 99.83%. The accuracy of the approach was proved by the percent relative standard deviation being less than 2.0%. It was observed that the intraday and interday precision found within acceptable ranges. The method's sensitivity was assessed using the detection limit and quantification limit, which were discovered to be 2.37 µg/ml and 7.20 µg/ml, respectively. In this paper, we introduce a UV-spectrophotometric technique for investigating Climbazole using ethanol as solvent. The suggested method demonstrated excellent selectivity, specificity, and linearity in accordance with ICH Q2 (R1) requirements. Also, marketed pharmaceutical formulations were used to show the developed approach's efficiency and a high recovery rate. It is obvious that the suggested method will serve as a normative approach for the regular testing of Climbazole in pharmaceutical formulations and bulk dosage forms.

INTRODUCTION: Seborrheic dermatitis is a superficial fungal skin condition that mostly affects regions with a lots of sebaceous glands. Malassezia yeasts and sebum production may be associated, according to some 1. Most antifungals used to treat seborrheic dermatitis belong to the azole class. Treatment with antifungal agents lowers the number of Malassezia on the skin.
Chemically, Climbazole is identified as 1-(4-chlorophenoxy) – 1 - (1H – imidazol – 1 - yl) - 3, 3 – dimethylbutan – 2 - one Fig. 1. Its chemical composition is C15H17ClN2O2, and its molecular weight is 292.76 g/mol.
FIG. 1: STRUCTURE OF CLIMBAZOLE
An imidazole antifungal drug called Climbazole (CBZ) treats dandruff in products like shampoos and conditioners. It prevents the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase from converting lanosterol in fungal cell membranes to ergosterol. Lack of ergosterol enables the membrane to become more permeable, which causes cell lysis and death 2. Along with having antibacterial activity, Climbazole also has antidandruff activity.
Climbazole has been Estimated by using UV Spectrophotometric Techniques with a Methanol: water (50:50) solvent solution 3. Though methanol is hazardous, it won't be incorporated in pharmaceutical preparations for topical use.
There is no proof that UV Spectrophotometry detected the substance in an ethanol solvent. Therefore, the current study aims to create a straightforward, exact, and specific UV Spectrophotometric approach for the quantitative analysis of Climbazole in ethanol solvent. To validate the established technique, the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines under section Q2 (R1) were applied 4.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Materials: Climbazole API was procured from Tokyo Chemical Industry Japan with 98% w/w assay value and was used without further purification. Ethanol (99.9%) was purchased from Changshu Hongsheng Fine Chemicals. For the planned study, only analytical-grade compounds were used.
Instruments: The spectroscopic examination used a double beam UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (1800, Shimadzu Japan) with matching quartz cells with 10 mm path length.
Methods:
Selection of Solvent: Ethanol was selected as the ideal solvent for spectrophotometric analysis of Climbazole 5.
Standard Stock Solution Preparation: A stock solution was made by dissolving precisely weighed Climbazole (10mg) in ethanol (10 ml). The final Climbazole concentration (100 µg/ml) was prepared further by pipetting (1 ml) diluting to 10 ml ethanol 6.
Determination of Wavelength of Maximum Absorption (λmax): Adequate volume of Climbazole (2 ml) from standard stock solution (100 μg/ml) was added into volumetric flask (10 ml) and diluted with ethanol leading to a concentration of 20 μg/ml. Further, the final solution was exposed to ultraviolet light in the range of 200 nm to 400 nm to realize the maximum absorption wavelength 7, 8. Climbazole's maximum absorbance wavelength was discovered to be 222 nm Fig. 2.

Analytical Method Validation: UV method validation was accomplished through the use of ICH Q2(R1) guidelines for quantifying Climbazole. We reassessed the linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, detection limit (LOD) and quantification limit (LOQ) 9.
Preparation of Calibration Curve: A five-diverse calibration standard reflecting strengths of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 μg/ml was created using a stock solution of 100 μg/ml to create the calibration curve. The maximum absorbance of each calibration standard was calculated using the fixed wavelength measuring mode at 222 nm. The calibration curve depicting absorbance vs. concentration were plotted in Microsoft Excel 2016 10.
Linearity: The linearity was demonstrated by examining 5 different levels of the calibration curve in the 5–30 μg/ml range. At 222 nm, each solution’s absorption against ethanol was measured. Based on the examination of calibration standards, calibration curves containing absorbance vs. concentration were plotted and linear least square regression analysis was performed.
Correlation coefficient square value was thought to be a key aspect in proving the suggested method's linearity 5, 10.
Range: According to reports, the range of the suggested UV method is the region between the higher and lower concentration limits with preferable linearity 10.
Accuracy: A definite quantity of standard stock solution was transferred to the previously tested sample solutions at 80%, 100%, and 120%. The proposed method was used to re-examine the solutions.7An analysis of recovery data at the three-level of percentage addition was used to determine the suggested method's accuracy 4.
Precision: The intraday and interday changes in the method's precision were observed. The intraday precision was ascertained by analysing the 10 μg/ml of Climbazole solution thrice on the same day. By examining the 10 μg/ml of Climbazole solution daily for three days a week, interday precision was calculated 3, 7. The standard deviation (SD) and relative standard deviation (RSD) were calculated.
Limit of Detection (LOD): In order to assess the limit of detection (LOD), solutions with varying concentrations between 5-10 μg/ml were prepared.
The formula for the limit of detection:
LOD = 3.3 σ / S
Where, σ = standard deviation of regression line and S = slope of the calibration curve.
Limit of Quantification (LOQ): The formula for calculating the limit of quantification is:
LOQ = 10 σ / S
Where, σ = standard deviation of the regression line and S = slope of the calibration curve.
Robustness: The ability of an analytical technique to stay unaffected by a slight change in the method parameters is a measure of its robustness, which also reveals its stability throughout the normal stage. Wavelength variations accomplish the determination of robustness. The absorbance readings for Climbazole were 10 μg/ml at 220 nm, 222 nm, and 224 nm 9.
Ruggedness: Two separate analysts examined A sample of Climbazole using the UV Spectrophotometry method. The outcome was given as a % RSD 10.
Assay:
Preparation of Marketed Sample Solution: Ciola shampoo containing 0.5% Climbazole was taken for examination of commercial formulations. The shampoo containing 5 mg of Climbazole was precisely weighed, and 20 ml of ethanol was transferred before the solution was sonicated for 60 minutes. Filter the solution using whatmann filter paper. Pipette out 0.5 ml of the above solution, then diluent it up to 10 ml. At a wavelength of 222 nm, the absorbance of this marketed sample solution and standard 5 µg/ml solution was measured and recorded 11, 12.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The newly established analytical technique was developed, optimized approved and used for the quantitative evaluation of Climbazole as a pure drug.
Linearity: Fig. 3 displays Climbazole's UV spectra and calibration curve into the ethanol at 222 nm. Climbazole's linearity was observed between 5-30 μg/ml, having a correlation coefficient of 0.9938. The linearity of Climbazole was depicted in Table 1 13.
