Abstract
In this review on the forced degradation studies on anti-epileptic drugs and the development of validated stability-indicating assay methods for drug substances and products at a condition more severe than accelerated condition (i.e. 40 ± 2°C, 75 ± 5% relative humidity), the drug substance and drug product undergo degradation is known as forced or stress degradation. To know about the impurities developed during the storage of drug products in various environmental conditions. The limit of degradation allowable is 5-20%. More than 20% of degradation is abnormal and must be investigated. Any regulatory guidelines do not mention the pH conditions for acid or base hydrolysis, the temperature for thermal degradation or the concentration of the oxidation agent. Only International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines Q1B photostability stability and states that light sources must be a combination of UV and visible light. The shortcomings of mentioned techniques with appreciation to regulatory necessities are highlighted. A systematic method for the forced degradation studies on anti-epileptic drugs such as "Topiramate, Vigabatrin, Lacosamide, Tiagabine, Levetiracetam and Zonisamide" is discussed. This review helps researchers to get an idea about stability-indicating methods of development and validation for newer antiepileptic drugs and the characteristics of drug products that degrade under specific degradation conditions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Nitrendipine is prescribed to children for the treatment of primary hypertension (off-label use). Available specialties (Nidrel®, Baypress® and others generic drugs) are only marketed in tablet form, which is unsuitable for pediatric use. A hospital preparation of nitrendipine oral suspension at 5 mg/mL was developed. The aim of the study was to determine physicochemical and microbiological stability of the nitrendipine oral suspension in order to set a shelf life for the preparation.
Methods
A validated high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the assay of nitrendipine. Nitrendipine oral suspensions were prepared using 20 mg Nidrel® tablets and suspending vehicle Syrspend® SF PH4. These preparations were packaged in amber glass bottles and stored at room temperature. The physicochemical (pH, osmolality, nitrendipine concentration, macroscopic changes) and microbiological stability of the preparation was tested over 90 days. Nitrendipine concentration at day 0 was considered as 100 % and nitrendipine concentration in subsequent samples greater than 95 % were considered stable.
Results
The developed HPLC method was validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision and specificity. After 90 days, no significant pH and osmolality variation was observed. No microbial growth was noted. Concentrations of nitrendipine were found to be always higher 95 % of the initial concentration.
Conclusions
Nitrendipine oral suspensions 5 mg/mL are stable for at least 90 days when stored at temperature room and in amber glass bottles. This suspension is more suitable for children than tablets and allows obtaining accurate doses based on patient’s body weight.

Abstract
Consumption of psychotropic drugs is still increasing, especially in high-income countries. One of the most crucial consequences of this fact is significant release of them to the environment. Considerable amounts of atypical antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, and their metabolites were detected in river, lake, and sea water, as well as in tissues of aquatic organisms. Their ecotoxicity was proved by numerous studies. It should be noticed that interaction between psychotropic pharmaceuticals and radiation may lead to formation of potentially more toxic intermediates. On the other hand, photo-assisted wastewater treatment methods can be used as an efficient way to eliminate them from the environment. Many methods based on photolysis and photocatalysis were proposed and developed recently; nevertheless, the problem is still unsolved. However, according to recent studies, photocatalysis could be considered as the most promising and far more effective than regular photolysis. An overview on photolytic as well as homogenous and heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation methods with the use of various catalysts is presented. The photostability and phototoxicity of pharmaceuticals were also discussed. Various analytical methods were used for the photodegradation research, and this issue was also compared and summarized. Use of high-resolution multistage mass spectrometry (Q-TOF, ion trap, Orbitrap) was suggested. The combined techniques such as LC-MS, GC-MS, and LC-NMR, which enable qualitative and quantitative analyses in one run, proved to be the most valuable in this case. Assembling of MS/MS spectra libraries of drug molecules and their phototransformation products was identified as the future challenge.

Abstract
Starch macrocellular foam (SMF), a novel natural bio-matrix material, was prepared by the hard template method in order to improve the dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Nitrendipine (NDP) was chosen as a model drug and was loaded into SMF by the solvent evaporation method. SMF and the loaded SMF samples (NDP-SMF) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In vitro drug release studies showed that SMF significantly increased the dissolution rate of NDP. In vivo studies showed that the NDP-SMF tablets clearly increased the oral bioavailability of NDP in comparison with the reference commercial tablets. All the results obtained demonstrated that SMF was a promising carrier for the oral delivery of poor water-soluble drugs.

Bioorg Med Chem 2010; 19:67-76. [PMID: 21169024 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2010.11.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2010] [Revised: 11/15/2010] [Accepted: 11/22/2010] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Gemcitabine is a potent chemotherapeutic that exerts cytotoxic activity against several leukemias and a wide spectrum of carcinomas. A brief plasma half-life in part due to rapid deamination and chemotherapeutic-resistance frequently limit the utility of gemcitabine in clinical oncology. Selective 'targeted' delivery of gemcitabine represents a potential molecular strategy for simultaneously prolonging its plasma half-life and minimizing exposure of innocent tissues and organ systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gemcitabine was combined in molar excess with N-[p-maleimidophenyl]-isocyanate (PMPI) so that the isocyanate moiety of PMPI which exclusively reacts with hydroxyl groups preferentially created a carbamate covalent bond at the terminal C(5)-methylhydroxy group of gemcitabine. Monoclonal immunoglobulin with binding-avidity specifically for HER2/neu was thiolated with 2-iminothiolane at the terminal ε-amine group of lysine amino acid residues. The gemcitabine-(carbamate)-PMPI intermediate with a maleimide moiety that exclusively reacts with reduced sulfhydryl groups was then combined with thiolated anti-HER2/neu monoclonal immunoglobulin. Western-blot analysis was utilized to delineate the molecular weight profile for gemcitabine-(carbamate)-[anti-HER2/neu] while cell binding characteristics were determined by cell-ELISA utilizing SKBr-3 mammary carcinoma which highly over-expresses HER2/neu receptors. Cytotoxic anti-neoplastic potency of gemcitabine-(carbamate)-[anti-HER2/neu] between the gemcitabine-equivalent concentrations of 10(-12) and 10(-6)M was determined utilizing vitality staining analysis of chemotherapeutic-resistant SKBr-3 mammary carcinoma. RESULTS Gemcitabine-(carbamate)-[anti-HER2/neu] was synthesized at a molar incorporation index of 1:1.1 (110%) and had a molecular weight of 150kDa that was indistinguishable from reference control immunoglobulin fractions. Cell-ELISA detected progressive increases in SKBr-3 mammary carcinoma associated immunoglobulin with corresponding increases in covalent gemcitabine immunochemotherapeutic concentrations. The in vitro cytotoxic anti-neoplastic potency of gemcitabine-(carbamate)-[anti-HER2/neu] was approximately 20% and 32% at 10(-7) and 10(-6)M (gemcitabine-equivalent concentrations) after a 182-h incubation period. DISCUSSION The investigations describes for the first time a methodology for synthesizing a gemcitabine anti-HER2/neu immunochemotherapeutic by creating a covalent bond structure between the C(5)-methylhydroxy group of gemcitabine and thiolated lysine amino acid residues of monoclonal antibody or other biologically active protein fractions. Gemcitabine-(carbamate)-[anti-HER2/neu] possessed binding-avidity at HER2/neu receptors highly over-expressed by chemotherapeutic-resistant SKBr-3 mammary carcinoma. Alternatively, gemcitabine can be covalently linked at its C(5)-methylhydroxy group to monoclonal immunoglobulin fractions that possess binding-avidity for other receptors and membrane complexes uniquely highly over-expressed by a variety of neoplastic cell types. Compared to chemotherapeutic-resistant SKBr-3 mammary carcinoma, gemcitabine-(carbamate)-[anti-HER2/neu] immunochemotherapeutic is anticipated to exert higher levels of cytotoxic anti-neoplastic potency against other neoplastic cell types like pancreatic carcinoma, small-cell lung carcinoma, neuroblastoma, glioblastoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, cervical epithelioid carcinoma, or leukemia/lymphoid neoplastic cell types based on their reportedly greater sensitivity to gemcitabine and gemcitabine covalent conjugates.

Abstract
Photoproducts of hexahydroquinoline derivatives have been analyzed with gas chromatography electro ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS) and high performance chromatography electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS). The study was performed on four HHQ derivatives: 2,6,6-trimethyl-3-carbomethoxy-5-oxo-4-(R-phenyl)-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline; R=2'-Me, 3'-Me, 2'-MeO, and 3'-MeO. The photochemical degradation of each of the HHQ derivatives led to the appearance of one product. The photoproducts were identified as the corresponding tetrahydroquinoline analogues, which were formed by dehydrogenation of dihydropyridine moiety. In GC-mass spectra, the most frequent way of fragmentation was elimination of CH3* or CH3O* radical of the ester group. In the photoproducts substituted at 2'-position of the phenyl ring, elimination of isobutene (C4H8) was observed. In the photoproducts with 3'-position substituents, elimination of COOCH3* radical was noted.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive method for the determination of nitrendipine in rat plasma was developed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The procedure involves extraction of nitrendipine in dichloromethane/sodium hydroxide, followed by reversed phase HPLC using a Waters, Spherisorb ODS2 (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) column and UV detection at 238 nm. The retention times of nitrendipine and internal standard (felodipine) were 5.0 min and 7.5 min, respectively. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 5 ng/mL (lower limit of quantification, LOQ) to 200 ng/mL for nitrendipine. The intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation for all criteria of validation were less than 15% over the linearity range. The sensitivity and precision of the method were within the accepted limits (< 15%) throughout the validation period. The present method was also successfully applied for the study of plasma pharmacokinetics of nitrendipine loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) in rats.

Abstract
Photodegradation products of hexahydroquinoline derivatives (HHQ) have been analysed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The photodegradation was carried out under the conditions recommended in the first version of the document issued by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), currently in force in the studies of photochemical stability of drugs and therapeutic substances. The study was performed on the compounds having two chlorine atoms at different positions of the phenyl ring. Photodegradation of dichlorophenyl derivatives of HHQ resulted in formation of one or three photoproducts. The main product of their decomposition was aromatic compound formed as a result of dehydrogenation of the dihydropyridine ring. The most often observed fragmentation pathway of the photoproducts formed was elimination of methyl and methoxy radicals from the ester groups. The fragmentation of the photoproducts containing one chlorine atom at the ortho-position of the phenyl ring occurred through elimination of chlorine radical.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a method of qualitatively predicting the most likely degradants in a formulation or probing specific drug-excipient interactions in a significantly shorter time frame than the typical 1 month storage testing. In the example studied, accelerated storage testing of a solid dosage form at 50 degrees C, the drug substance SB-243213-A degraded via the formation of two oxidative impurities. These impurities reached a level of 1% PAR after 3 months. Various stressing methods were examined to try to recreate this degradation and in doing so provide a practical and reliable method capable of predicting drug-excipient interactions. The technique developed was able to mimic the 1-month's accelerated degradation in just 1 hr. The method was suitable for automated analysis, capable of multisample stressing, and ideal for use in drug-excipient compatibility screening.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed for the determination of nitrendipine in human plasma using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and ultraviolet detection. A 30-microl aliquot of methanol (containing 2 microg/ml of the internal standard, nimodipine) was added to a 1-ml aliquot of biological sample. After vortex-mixing, the mixture was loaded on C(18) SPE cartridge which was conditioned with methanol and distilled water. After washing with distilled water, the SPE cartridge was eluted with 1-ml aliquot of diethyl ether. The organic phase was collected and evaporated under nitrogen gas. The residue was then reconstituted with a 100 microl aliquot of mobile phase, and a 50 microl aliquot was injected onto the C(18) reverse-phased column. The mobile phase, 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 4.5):acetonitrile (50:50, v/v), was run at a flow rate of 1.2 ml/min. The column effluent was monitored using ultraviolet detector at 238 nm. The retention times for nitrendipine and the internal standard were approximately 10.1 and 12.6 min, respectively. The detection limit of nitrendipine in human plasma was 2.0 ng/ml. The coefficients of variation (CV) of the assay were below 16.5% for human plasma, and no interferences from endogenous substances were found. This specific, accurate and precise assay was useful in the study for the pharmacokinetic characteristics of nitrendipine.

Abstract
The objective of the present research investigation was to fabricate an acrylate-based transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) of nitrendipine, which could deliver drug at maximum input rate so as to deliver drug in minimum patch size. Transdermal patches were fabricated using synthesized acrylate pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs): PSA1, PSA2, and commercially available PSA3 and PSA4 using d-limonene as permeation enhancer. Effect of concentration of d-limonene on permeation kinetics of nitrendipine in PSAs was studied. Fabricated TTS in mentioned PSAs were evaluated for in-vitro release and permeation kinetics through guinea-pig skin. Cumulative release of drug in PSA1, PSA2, PSA3, and PSA4 was observed to be 45%, 40%, 25%, and 25%, respectively, upto 24 hr. Flux of drug through guinea-pig skin calculated at 48 hr in PSA1, PSA2, PSA3, and PSA4, with and without d-limonene, was observed to be 0.346+/-0.10, 0.435+/-0.17, 0.410+/-0.17, and 0.162+/-0.06, and 0.625+/-0.19, 1.161+/-0.46, 0.506+/-0.17, and 0.520+/-0.18 (microg/cm2/hr), respectively. The TTS in PSA2 showed comparatively high flux and could deliver drug at high input rate through transdermal route. PSA2 was found to have good rate-controlling property and could be successfully employed in transdermal delivery of nitrendipine.

Abstract
This write-up provides a review on the development of validated stability-indicating assay methods (SIAMs) for drug substances and products. The shortcomings of reported methods with respect to regulatory requirements are highlighted. A systematic approach for the development of stability-indicating methods is discussed. Critical issues related to development of SIAMs, such as separation of all degradation products, establishment of mass balance, stress testing of formulations, development of SIAMs for combination products, etc. are also addressed. The applicability of pharmacopoeial methods for the analysis of stability samples is discussed. The requirements of SIAMs for stability study of biotechnological substances and products are also touched upon.
