  • Development and validation of high performance thin layer chromatographic method for the determination of voglibose in bulk and their formulations
    Mallikharjuna Rao, Ravikumar Konda, N. Mallikarjuna Rao, Y Yamasaki, N Katakami, et al.
    Letters in Applied Nanobioscience, 2020
    To develop a simple, fast, specific, precise and accurate High Performance Thin Layer Chromatographic method (HPTLC) for the determination of Voglibose in bulk and their dosage forms. The chromatographic separation was achieved on precoated silica gel 60F254 aluminum plates using a combination of acetonitrile: methanol: ammonia (15:4:0.1 % V/V/V) as mobile phase and densitometric evaluation of spots was carried out at 284 nm using Camag TLC scanner III with CATS 1.3.4 version software. The experimental parameters like band size of the chamber saturation time, spot application, slit width, solvent front migration, etc. were studied critically and evolved optimized conditions. The drug was well resolved satisfactorily with Rf value 0.66±0.03. The repeatability and accuracy of the optimized method were ascertained by evaluating various validation parameters like linearity (100 to 450 ng/spot), precision (intra-day % RSD 0.21 to 0.74, inter-day % RSD 0.21 to 0.29), accuracy (99.8% to 101.2%, % RSD below 1%), and specificity according to ICH guidelines. The limits of detection and quantification were 40 ng/spot and 100 ng/spot respectively. The developed HPTLC method was faster and cost effective quantitative control for routine analysis of Voglibose in bulk and its formulations.

    Acta Chromatographica, 2013
    Summary A simple, sensitive, and highly specific method has been developed for determination of valacyclovir (VL) in human plasma. The analytical procedure involves a solid-phase extraction method using Valacyclovir-D8 (VLD8) as an internal standard. Chromatographic separation was carried out on a reversed phase Zorbax, SB C18, 4.6 × 75 mm, 3.5μm column. Valacyclovir and Valacyclovir-D8 were detected with proton adducts at m/z 325.2 → 152.0 and 333.3 → 152.0 in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) positive mode. The method was linear over the concentration range of 0.5–700.0 ng mL−1. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for valacyclovir were 0.2 pg mL−1 and 0.5 ng mL−1, respectively. The method was shown to be precise with the average within-run and between-run variations of 0.7 to 3.5% and 3.1 to 4.7%, respectively. The average within-run and between-run accuracies of the method throughout its linear range were 96.7 to 97.9 and 94.7 to 97.3%, respectively. The mean recoveries of valacyclovir and Valacyclovir-D8 from human plasma by the developed method were 99.17 ± 10.78% and 110.84 ± 8.74%, respectively. The method was successfully applied in bioequivalence study with 20 healthy male volunteers under fasting condition.
  • Bioanalytical method development and validation of memantine in human plasma by high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry: Application to bioequivalence study
    Ravi Kumar Konda, B. R. Challa, Babu Rao Chandu, Kothapalli B. Chandrasekhar
    Journal of Analytical Methods in Chemistry, 2012
    A simple, sensitive, and rapid HPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for quantitative estimation of memantine in human plasma. Chromatography was performed on Zorbax SB-C18(4.6×75 mm, 3.5 μm) column. Memantine (ME) and internal standard Memantine-d6(MED6) were extracted by using liquid-liquid extraction and analyzed by LC-ESI-MS/MS using multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 50.00–50000.00 pg/ml for ME in human plasma. This method demonstrated an intra- and interday precision within the range of 2.1–3.7 and 1.4–7.8%, respectively. Further intra- and interday accuracy was within the range of 95.6–99.8 and 95.7–99.1% correspondingly. The mean recovery of ME and MED6 was86.07±6.87and80.31±5.70%, respectively. The described method was successfully employed in bioequivalence study of ME in Indian male healthy human volunteers under fasting conditions.
  • Bio-analytical method development and validation of Rasagiline by high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection and its application to pharmacokinetic study
    Ravi Kumar Konda, Babu Rao Chandu, B.R. Challa, Chandrasekhar B. Kothapalli
    Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis, 2012
    The most suitable bio-analytical method based on liquid–liquid extraction has been developed and validated for quantification of Rasagiline in human plasma. Rasagiline-13C3 mesylate was used as an internal standard for Rasagiline. Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18 (2.1 mm×50 mm, 3.5 μm) column provided chromatographic separation of analyte followed by detection with mass spectrometry. The method involved simple isocratic chromatographic condition and mass spectrometric detection in the positive ionization mode using an API-4000 system. The total run time was 3.0 min. The proposed method has been validated with the linear range of 5–12000 pg/mL for Rasagiline. The intra-run and inter-run precision values were within 1.3%–2.9% and 1.6%–2.2% respectively for Rasagiline. The overall recovery for Rasagiline and Rasagiline-13C3 mesylate analog was 96.9% and 96.7% respectively. This validated method was successfully applied to the bioequivalence and pharmacokinetic study of human volunteers under fasting condition.
