INTRODUCTION: Lornoxicam (chlortenoxicam) is a non steroidal anti- inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the oxicam class with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. It is available in oral and parental dosage formulation. Lornoxicam is a yellow or slightly yellow powder. It is slightly soluble in water, soluble in methanol and ethanol 1.
The low solubility of many new drug candidates is a substantial challenge facing the pharmaceutical industry 2. The oral delivery of such drugs is frequently associated with implications of low bioavailability and high intra and inter subject variability. To overcome such problems we have formulate the Self Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SEDDS) formulation of lornoxicam. It is an oral dosage form. It is a mixture of oils and surfactants that has the ability to form fine oil in water (o/w) emulsions or micro emulsions upon gentle agitation following dilution with the aqueous phase and improves drug dissolution through providing a large interfacial area for partitioning of the drug between the oil and GIT fluid.
Other advantages include increased stability of drug molecules and possibility of administering the final product as gelatin capsules 3-5.The objective of the present study was to develop and validate a stability indicating HPLC method for the assay of lornoxicam in Self Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SEDDS) formulation. It was a simple, economical analytical method that can be used for the quantitative assay of lornoxicam co-existing with the excipients and the potential degradation products.

EXPERIMENTAL:
MATERIALS AND METHODS 6-11: Lornoxicam was obtained as gift sample from Glenmark Pharma Ltd., MCT oil (Labrafac), Caprylic Capric Triglyceride and Mayasol (Labrasol) obtained as gift sample from Subhash Chemicals, Bhosari, Pune (M.S.) India. Capmul MCM, Captex 200 and Captex 350 were obtained as gift sample from Abitech Corporation, Mumbai, India. Cremophore RH and Cremophore EL obtained as gift sample from BASF Ltd, Mumbai. Tween 20, Tween 80, PEG 400, Soybean oil, Castor oil, Olive oil and Sesame oil was obtained from Prachi Enterprices, Pune, (M.S) India. The solvent used Acetonitrile (HPLC grade), Water (HPLC grade), NaOH (AR grade), HCl (AR grade), H2O2 (HPLC grade), were purchased from Merck Chemicals, Mumbai, India.
Preparation of SEDDS Formulation 12-14: Lornoxicam (8 mg) was dissolved in 1 ml of the mixture of Capmul MCM, Tween 20 and PEG 400 as oil, surfactant and co-surfactant respectively. The ratio of S/CS (Smix) 1:1 was used for preparation of SEDDS.
A laboratory scale spray dryer (LABULTIMA; LU 222-ADV) was used for the preparation of solid SEDDS. 1 gm. of Aerosil 200 was suspended in 100 ml ethanol. 2 ml of liquid SEDDS was added to this solution and continuously stirred at room temperature for 30 min. This solution was then delivered to the nozzle (0.7 mm diameter) at a flow rate of 3 ml/min with peristaltic pump and spray dried at inlet temperature of 100 and 60oC and outlet temperature of 80 and 40oC respectively. The spray air pressure was used 4kg/cm2.
Selection of mobile phase and chromatographic conditions: Chromatographic separation studies were carried out on a C-18, column on the working standard solution of Lornoxicam (50μg/ml). Initially, trials were carried out using acetonitrile and methanol in various proportions along with varying pH, to obtain the desired system suitability parameters. After several trials, Acetonitrile: Methanol (pH adjusted to 4.5 with ortho phosphoric acid) (65: 35 v/v), was chosen as the mobile phase, which gave good resolution and acceptable peak parameters.
Preparation of standard stock solution: Weighed accurately calculated SEDDS formulation containing 10 mg of Lornoxicam drug and transferred in 100 ml volumetric flask. Drug was dissolve in Acetonitrile: Methanol (65: 35 v/v) and volume was made up to 100 ml with same solvent which gives the concentration 100 μg/ml. 5ml standard stock solution of Lornoxicam was diluted in 10 ml Acetonitrile: Methanol (65: 35 v/v) to obtained working standard solution 50µg/ml.
Preparation of mobile phase: Mobile phase was prepared by mixing acetonitrile: methanol (pH adjusted to 4.5 with ortho phosphoric acid) (65: 35 v/v), filtered through 0.45μ membrane filter paper and sonicated on ultra-sonic water bath for 30 min.
Linearity: The standard stock solution containing 100 μg/ml of Lornoxicam used to prepare range of standard solutions containing six different concentrations of analyte. The linearity of the relationship between peak area and concentration was determined by analyzing six standard solutions over the concentration range 10-60μg/ml. The results obtained are shown in Fig. 1.
The peak areas were plotted against the corresponding concentrations to obtain the calibration curve Fig. 2.

Chromatogram of Lornoxicam SEDDS formulation: The column was saturated with the mobile phase (indicated by constant back pressure at desired flow rate). Solution of Lornoxicam SEDDS formulation was injected to get the chromatogram. The retention time was found to be 4.78 ± 0.02 min. Chromatogram shown in (Figure 3)

The stress degradation studies showed that Lornoxicam in SEDDS formulation undergoes degradation in acid, alkali, oxidation and dry heat (4.80 %, 1.52 %, 2.16 %, and 1.81% respectively within limit as per ICH guidelines. The developed stability indicating high performance liquid chromatographic method was rapid and suitable for the estimation of degradation concentration of lornoxicam in SEDDS formulation.
It has a good ability to separate lornoxicam well from the degradation products. Stressed degradation studies were conducted to provide an indication of its stability indicating property of the formulation. All the above factors lead to the conclusion that the proposed method was accurate, precise, simple, sensitive, robust, cost effective and can be applied successfully for the estimation of Lornoxicam bulk and SEDDS formulation and percentage degradation. The proposed method is also useful for determination of Lornoxicam stability in sample of pharmaceutical dosage forms.
