Prasad SK, Kalpana D. Development and validation of a stability-indicating ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography method for the estimation of ibrutinib and trace-level quantification of related substances using quality-by-design approach. Biomed Chromatogr 2024; 38:e5798. [PMID: 38081478 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.5798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
A new ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed using quality-by-design principles for quantifying trace-level impurities of ibrutinib. The method utilized an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column with a mobile phase consisting of equal parts of 0.02 M formic acid in water and 0.02 M formic acid in acetonitrile. The critical method parameters, including mobile phase pH, column temperature, and flow rate, were optimized using the design of experiments. Statistical analysis revealed the impact of these parameters on critical quality attributes. Perturbation and response surface plots illustrated the individual and interactive effects of the parameters. The optimal parameter levels were determined to be pH, 2.5; column temperature, 28°C; and flow rate, 0.55 mL/min. Confirmation experiments demonstrated the method's robustness, with the separation of impurities and unknown degradation products within a 5-min runtime. The optimized ultra-performance liquid chromatography method was validated according to ICH guidelines. The method exhibited linear response within the range of 0.025-100 μg/mL for ibrutinib and 0.0187-0.225 μg/mL for impurities (r2 > 0.9995), with limits of detection/limits of quantification of 0.01/0.025 and 0.015/0.0187 for ibrutinib and four impurities, respectively. Recoveries for the drug and impurities ranged from 92.69 to 102.7%, and precision was below 2% and 8% relative standard deviation for ibrutinib and impurities, respectively.

Optimization of chromatographic conditions via Box‒Behnken design in RP-HPLC-PDA method development for the estimation of folic acid and methotrexate in bulk and tablets. Heliyon 2023; 9:e20282. [PMID: 37771532 PMCID: PMC10522955 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e20282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Simultaneous estimation of folic acid and methotrexate in bulk and tablet dosage form by RP-HPLC-PDA was conducted via Box‒Behnken design application. Three-factor numerical values were finalized from the graphical and numerical optimization with built-in ANOVA in BBD. Sharp and symmetric peaks were observed at 4.138 and 6.929 min for folic acid and methotrexate, respectively. The mobile phase composition was methanol and 0.1% formic acid in water with a ratio of 31:69 and a flow rate of 1.1 ml/min. Both drugs were detected at a wavelength of 291 nm. The developed method was validated according to ICH guidelines. The results of the validation parameters were within acceptable limits. Stress stability studies have been performed under acidic, alkali, oxidation, neutral and photolytic conditions. Three different brand-marketed tablets were assessed with the developed method (MGXT, FOLTNAX and TRUXOFOL). In the tablet formulations, chromatogram percentages of folic acid and methotrexate were calculated at 99.13% and 99.50 in MGXT, 99.17% and 99.47 in FOLTNAX, and 99.91 and 100.05 in TRUXOFOL.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:947. [PMID: 37513859 PMCID: PMC10383815 DOI: 10.3390/ph16070947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Dammarane-type saponins (DTSs) exist in various medicinal plants, which are a class of active ingredients with effects on improving myocardial ischemia and immunomodulation. In this study, a quantitative 1H NMR method of total DTSs in herbal medicines was developed based on the analytical procedure lifecycle. In the first stage (analytical procedure design), the Ishikawa diagram and failure mode effects and criticality analysis were used to conduct risk identification and risk ranking. Plackett-Burman design and central composite design were used to screen and optimize critical analytical procedure parameter. Then, the method operable design region was obtained through modeling. In the second stage (analytical procedure performance qualification), the performance of methodological indexes was investigated based on analytical quality by design. As examples of continued procedure performance verification, the method was successfully applied to determine the total DTSs in herbal pharmaceutical preparations and botanical extracts. As a general analytical method to quantify total DTSs in medicinal plants or pharmaceutical preparations, the developed method provides a new quality control strategy for various products containing dammarane-type saponin.

Analytical Quality by Design: Achieving Robustness of an LC-CAD Method for the Analysis of Non-Volatile Fatty Acids. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:ph16040478. [PMID: 37111235 PMCID: PMC10145151 DOI: 10.3390/ph16040478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
An alternative to the time-consuming and error-prone pharmacopoeial gas chromatography method for the analysis of fatty acids (FAs) is urgently needed. The objective was therefore to propose a robust liquid chromatography method with charged aerosol detection for the analysis of polysorbate 80 (PS80) and magnesium stearate. FAs with different numbers of carbon atoms in the chain necessitated the use of a gradient method with a Hypersil Gold C18 column and acetonitrile as organic modifier. The risk-based Analytical Quality by Design approach was applied to define the Method Operable Design Region (MODR). Formic acid concentration, initial and final percentages of acetonitrile, gradient elution time, column temperature, and mobile phase flow rate were identified as critical method parameters (CMPs). The initial and final percentages of acetonitrile were fixed while the remaining CMPs were fine-tuned using response surface methodology. Critical method attributes included the baseline separation of adjacent peaks (α-linolenic and myristic acid, and oleic and petroselinic acid) and the retention factor of the last compound eluted, stearic acid. The MODR was calculated by Monte Carlo simulations with a probability equal or greater than 90%. Finally, the column temperature was set at 33 °C, the flow rate was 0.575 mL/min, and acetonitrile linearly increased from 70 to 80% (v/v) within 14.2 min.
