Highly sensitive UHPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous estimation of propafenone and its metabolites 5-hydroxypropafenone and N-depropylpropafenone on human dried blood spots technique and application to a pharmacokinetic study.

A highly sensitive, rapid and selective UHPLC-MS/MS method has been developed and validated for quantification of the propafenone (PF), 5-hydroxypropafenone (5-OHPF) and N-depropylpropafenone (N-DPF) on human dried blood spot (DBS). The assay procedure involves a solid-liquid extraction of PF, 5-OHPF and N-DPF and amlodipine (internal standard, I.S.

Elucidating pharmacodynamic interaction of silver nanoparticle - topical deliverable antibiotics.

In order to exploit the potential benefits of antimicrobial combination therapy, we need a better understanding of the circumstances under which pharmacodynamic interactions expected. In this study, Pharmacodynamic interactions between silver nanoparticle (SNP) and topical antibiotics such as Cefazolin (CEF), Mupirocin (MUP), Gentamycin (GEN), Neomycin (NEO), Tetracycline (TET), Vancomycin (VAN) were investigated using the MIC test, Combination assay followed by Fractional Inhibitory concentration Index and Agar well diffusion method. SNP + MUP, SNP + NEO, SNP + VAN combinations showed Synergism (SN) and SNP + CEF, SNP + GEN, SNP + TET showed Partial synergism (PS) against Staphylococcus aureus.

Highly sensitive LC-MS/MS-ESI method for determination of phenelzine in human plasma and its application to a human pharmacokinetic study.

A selective, sensitive and rapid LC-MS/MS method has been developed and validated for quantification of the phenelzine (PZ) in 200μL of human plasma using hydroxyzine (HZ) as an internal standard (IS) as per regulatory guidelines. The sample preparation involved the derivatization of PZ using pentaflurobenzaldehyde followed by solid phase extraction process to extract PZ and HZ from human plasma. LC-MS/MS was operated under the multiple reaction-monitoring mode (MRM) using the electro spray ionization technique in positive ion mode and the transitions of m/z 305.

New Validated RP-HPLC Analytical Method for Simultaneous Estimation of Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe in Bulk Samples as Well in Tablet Dosage Forms by Using PDA Detector.

This paper describes a new RP-HPLC method for simultaneous quantification of these compounds in the bulk sample drug as well as in tablet dosage forms. The chromatographic separation was performed on an XTerra C8 (4.6 x 250 mm; 5 µm), with phosphate buffer [pH 3.

Simultaneous determination of pioglitazone and candesartan in human plasma by LC-MS/MS and its application to a human pharmacokinetic study.

A simple and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) assay method has been developed and fully validated for simultaneous quantification of pioglitazone and candesartan in human plasma. Irbesartan was used as an internal standard. The analytes were extracted from human plasma samples by solid-phase extraction technique using a Strata-X 33 μm polymeric sorbent.

A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric assay for moexipril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor in human plasma.

A simple, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for the quantification of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, moexipril, in human plasma. Benazepril was used as an internal standard (IS). Analyte and IS were extracted from the human plasma by liquid-liquid extraction technique using ethyl acetate.

Development and validation of liquid chromatographic and UV derivative spectrophotometric methods for the determination of famciclovir in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method and a UV derivative spectrophotometric method for the determination of famciclovir, a highly active antiviral agent, in tablets were developed in the present work. The various parameters, such as linearity, precision, accuracy, specificity, robustness, limit of detection and limit of quantitation were studied according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. HPLC was carried out by using the reversed-phase technique on an RP-18 column with a mobile phase composed of 50 mM monobasic phosphate buffer and methanol (50 : 50; v/v), adjusted to pH 3.
