[PMID: 37758265 DOI: 10.1093/jaoacint/qsad118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The estimation of drugs containing drospirenone (DRSP) and ethinyl estradiol (EE), and their related impurities, in low-dose oral contraceptive drug products is an extremely challenging target. The proposed research sought to develop and validate a stability-indicating method for quantifying drug substances and their related impurities in tablet formulation. OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a simple, specific, accurate, precise, and stability-indicating reverse-phase (RP)-HPLC method for quantification of DRSP, EE, and their impurities in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines. METHOD The separation was achieved using an Agilent Zorbax SB C18 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 µm) with a detection wavelength of 215 nm and mobile phases A (100% acetonitrile) and B (acetonitrile-water, 1 + 3, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.3 mL/min and a column temperature of 40°C. RESULTS The recovery study of each impurity was conducted in the range of 24 to 72 µg/mL for DRSP-related impurities and 0.2 to 0.6 µg/mL for EE-related impurities with respect to the specification limit. A linearity study was conducted over a range of 1.5 to 90 µg/mL for DRSP and DRSP-related impurities, and 0.125 to 0.75 µg/mL for EE-related impurities. A Quality by Design (QbD) study demonstrated the method's robustness. CONCLUSIONS As per current guidelines, a stability-indicating method has been developed for the determination of impurities in DRSP/EE film-coated tablets. A QbD-based robustness test was performed and the method was found to be robust. HIGHLIGHTS An accurate, precise, stability-indicating, gradient RP-HPLC method has been developed and validated to determine DRSP, EE, and nine related impurities in tablet formulation. A QbD technique was used to establish a robustness study.

[PMID: 33934266 PMCID: PMC8149566 DOI: 10.1007/s40199-021-00396-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop and validate a simple and consistent reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the estimation of Levonorgestrel (LNG) drug from silicone based intrauterine device. METHODS Sample solution was prepared using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvent for the drug extraction, and RP-HPLC analysis was performed using Luna C18 analytical column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm, 100 Å - Phenomenex), with a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of acetonitrile and water (50:50, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and injection volume of 20 μl. Detection was carried out at 241 nm in PDA detector, with a total run time of 15 min. The method was validated in accordance with ICH guidelines. Method applicability was tested for optimizing formulation using quality-by-design approach, to check the stability and content uniformity of levonorgestrel-silicone mixture (core blend), and quantifying the amount of LNG from commercially available silicone based formulation. RESULTS The retention time for LNG drug was obtained at 8.5 min (± 0.3 min). A linear relationship was observed over the concentration range of 2.6-15.6 μg/ml with the correlation coefficient (r) value 0.9999. The method was found to be precise within the acceptable limit (RSD < 2%) and the drug recovery from the intrauterine device was found in the range 99.78-100.0%. Content uniformity for different prototypes developed was observed in the range of 91.6-101.4%, and assay of optimized core blend was in the range of 97.78-106.79% during the 10 days of retention period for stability studies. CONCLUSION The validated method is found to be a simple, accurate, precise, reproducible, and hence can be used for the routine analysis of LNG such as in-process, quality control and stability assays of silicone based intrauterine devices by RP-HPLC.

Abstract
A simple, rapid, economical and reliable high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed and successfully applied in simultaneous determination of ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone in coated tablets. The HPLC method was performed on a LiChroCART® 100RP column (125x4 mm i.d., 5 µm) with acetonitrile:water 50:50 (v/v) as mobile phase, pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL.min-1. The fluorescence detection for ethinyl estradiol was made at λex= 280 nm and λem= 310 nm and a UV detection for drospirenone was made at 200 nm. The elution time for ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone were 4.0 and 5.7 min, respectively. The method was validated in accordance to USP 34 guidelines. The proposed HPLC method presented advantages over reported methods and is suitable for quality control assays of ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone in coated tablets.

Abstract
A novel microemulsion based on sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) was developed for the simultaneous determination of natural and synthetic estrogens by microemulsion EKC (MEEKC). The microemulsion system consisted of 1.4% w/w AOT, 1.0% w/w octane, 7.0% w/w 1-butanol and 90.6% w/w 20 mM sodium salt of 3-(cyclohexylamino)-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonic acid (CAPSO) and 10 mM phosphate buffer at pH 12.5. A baseline resolution in the separation of estrone, 17beta-estradiol, estriol, estradiol 17-hemisuccinate, etinilestradiol, estradiol 3-benzoate, and estradiol 17-valerate was achieved in comparison to the traditional MEEKC system with SDS in less than 15 min. The optimized electrophoretic conditions included the use of an uncoated-silica capillary of 60 cm of total length and 75 microm id, an applied voltage of 25 kV, a temperature of 25 degrees C and 214 UV-detection. Parameters of validation such as specificity, linearity, accuracy, LOD, LOQ and robustness were evaluated according to international guidelines. Due to its simplicity, accuracy, and reliability, the proposed method can be an advantageous alternative to the traditional methodologies for the analysis of natural and synthetic estrogens in different pharmaceutical forms.

Stability-indicating high-performance thin-layer chromatographic determination of levonorgestrel and ethinyloestradiol in bulk drug and in low-dosage oral contraceptives. Anal Chim Acta 2006; 572:237-42. [PMID: 17723483 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2006.05.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2006] [Revised: 04/20/2006] [Accepted: 05/09/2006] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
A stability-indicating high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of steroidal hormones levonorgestrel and ethinyloestradiol both in bulk drug and in low-dosage oral contraceptives. Optimization of conditions for the spectrodensitometric procedure was reached by eluting HPTLC silica gel plates in a 10 cm x 10 cm horizontal chamber. The solvent system consisted of hexane-chloroform-methanol (1.0:3.0:0.25, v/v/v). This system was found to give compact, dense and typical peaks for both levonorgestrel (R(f)=0.65+/-0.03) and ethinyloestradiol (R(f)=0.43+/-0.02). Densitometric analysis of the drugs was carried out in the reflectance mode at 225 nm by using a computer controlled densitometric scanner. The calibration curves of levonorgestrel and ethinyloestradiol were linear in the range of 200-800 and 40-160 ng per spot, respectively. The method was validated for precision, robustness and recovery. As the proposed method can effectively separate the drugs from their degradation products, it can be employed as a stability-indicating method.

Abstract
The electroreduction of ethinylestradiol at the hanging mercury drop electrode in the Britton-Robinson universal buffer of pH 2-11 was studied and its interfacial adsorptive character onto the mercury electrode surface was identified. A validated simple, rapid, sensitive, specific, precise and inexpensive square-wave voltammetric procedure is described for the determination of ethinylestradiol following its accumulation onto a hanging mercury drop electrode in a Britton-Robinson universal buffer of pH 7. The optimal procedural conditions were: accumulation potential E(acc)=-0.7 V versus Ag/AgCl/KCl(s), accumulation duration=60s, pulse-amplitude=70 mV, scan increment=10 mV and frequency=120 Hz. Limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 5.9x10(-10)M and 1.9x10(-9)M bulk ethinylestradiol, respectively, were achieved. The proposed procedure was successfully applied to the quantification of ethinylestradiol in pharmaceutical formulation (Ethinyl-oestradiol tablets) and in human serum and plasma without the necessity for sample pretreatments and/or time-consuming extraction or evaporation steps prior to the analysis. LOD of 8.7x10(-10)M and 3x10(-9)M and LOQ of 2.9x10(-9)M and 1x10(-8)M of ethinylestradiol were achieved in human serum and plasma, respectively.

Abstract
The development during the last 15 years and the state-of-the-art in the analysis of bulk steroid hormone drugs and hormone-like structures and pharmaceutical formulations made thereof are summarized. Other steroids (sterols, bile acids, cardiac glycosides, vitamins D) as well as biological-clinical aspects and pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies are excluded from this review. The state-of-the-art is summarized based on comparisons of monographs in the latest editions of the European Pharmacopoeia, United States Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. This is followed by sections dealing with new developments in the methodology for the fields of spectroscopic and spectrophotometric, chromatographic, electrophoretic and hyphenated techniques as well electroanalytical methods. The review is terminated by two problem-oriented sections: examples on impurity and degradation profiling as well as enantiomeric analysis.
