Estimation of boswellic acids from market formulations of Boswellia serrata extract and 11-keto beta-boswellic acid in human plasma by high-performance thin-layer chromatography.

A rapid and sensitive high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method was developed and validated for the quantitative estimation of boswellic acids in formulation containing Boswellia serrata extract (BSE) and 11-keto beta-boswellic acid in human plasma. Simple extraction method was used for isolation of boswellic acid from formulation sample and acidified plasma sample. The isolated samples were chromatographed on silica gel 60F(254)-TLC plates, developed using ternary-solvent system (hexane-chloroform-methanol, 5:5:0.5, v/v) and scanned at 260 nm. The linearity range for 11-KBA spiked in 1 ml of plasma was 29.15-145.75 ng with average recovery of 91.66%. The limit of detection and limit of quantification for 11-KBA in human plasma were found to be 8.75 ng/ml and 29.15 ng/ml. The developed method was successfully applied for the assay of market formulations containing BSE and to determine plasma level of 11-keto beta-boswellic acid in a clinical pilot study.

Design, synthesis and diuretic activity of some novel 2,4-diamino-6-aryl-7-arylaminopyrimido [4,5-d]pyrimidin-5(6H)-ones.

Synthesis and diuretic activity of some novel 2,4-diamino-6-aryl-7-arylaminopyrimidol4,5-d]pyrimidin-5(6H) -ones were described. The series was designed on the basis of structural similarity between pteridines and pyridopyrimidines. Designed molecules were synthesized by cyclo-condensation of 5-cyano-6-methylmercapto-3-aryl-2-arylaminopyrimidin-4(3H)-one with guanidine. All the compounds were screened for their diuretic activity using triamterene and furosemide as standard drugs. Compounds 2a, 2b, 2d, 2e and 2f were found more potent than triamterene. Compound 2e exhibited diuretic activity comparable to furosemide with greater natriuretic effect. It also exhibited significant antihypertensive activity.

Determination of gatifloxacin and ornidazole in tablet dosage forms by high-performance thin-layer chromatography.

A simple and sensitive high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method has been developed for the quantitative estimation of gatifloxacin and ornidazole in its combined dosage forms. Gatifloxacin and ornidazole were chromatographed on silica Gel 60 F(254) TLC plate using n-butanol:methanol:ammonia (6 M) (8:1:1.5 v/v) as the mobile phase and scanned at 302 nm using a Camag TLC Scanner 3. The R(f) value of gatifloxacin and ornidazole was found to be 0.21 +/- 0.02 and 0.76 +/- 0.04, respectively. The linearity of gatifloxacin and ornidazole were in the range of 100 - 500 ng/spot and 250 - 1250 ng/spot, respectively. The limit of detection was found to be 40 ng/spot for gatifloxacin and 100 ng/spot for ornidazole. The proposed method was applied for the determination of gatifloxacin and ornidazole in combined dosage forms.

Determination of bioequivalence of lomefloxacin tablets using urinary excretion data.

The present study describes development of a sensitive and simple HPTLC method for estimation of lomefloxacin (LMF) in human urine. The drug was extracted using chloroform after adjusting the pH of urine to 7.0. Chloroform extract was spotted on silica gel 60 F(254) TLC plate and was developed in a mixture of n-butanol-methanol-ethyl acetate-6 M ammonia (4:2:3:2, v/v/v/v) as the mobile phase and scanned at 290 nm. The peak for LMF resolved at R(F) of 0.40+/-0.02. The method was validated in terms of linearity (50-600 microgram/ml), precision, specificity and accuracy. The limit of detection and limit of quantification for LMF in urine were found to be 20 and 50 microgram/ml, respectively. The average recovery of LMF from urine was 91.93%. The proposed method was applied to generate urinary excretion data for LMF after administration of two market LMF tablet formulations (400 mg, Formulation R and Formulation T) to six healthy human volunteers in a two-treatment, open, crossover design. Various pharmacokinetic parameters like peak excretion rate ((dAU/dt)(max)), time for peak excretion rate (t(max)), AUC(0-48), AUC(0- infinity ), cumulative amount and % cumulative amount of LMF excreted, elimination half-life (t(1/2)), terminal elimination rate constant (k(el)) and overall elimination rate constant (K), were calculated for both the formulations. The average cumulative amounts of LMF excreted in urine after administration of Formulation R and Formulation T were found to be 321.60 mg (80.40% of dose) and 296.51 mg (74.13% of dose), respectively. The urinary excretion profiles of LMF upto 48 h for both the formulations were found to be similar. Statistical comparison (90% confidence intervals of ratio) of various pharmacokinetic parameters of Formulation T with that of Formulation R revealed that Formulation T is bioequivalent with Formulation R.

Development of a sensitive high-performance thin-layer chromatography method for estimation of ranitidine in urine and its application for bioequivalence decision for ranitidine tablet formulations.

A sensitive and simple HPTLC method was developed for estimation of ranitidine in human urine. The drug was extracted from urine after basification using dichloromethane. Dichloromethane extract was spotted on silica gel 60 F254 TLC plate and was developed in a mixture of ethyl acetate-methanol-ammonia (35:10:5 v/v) as the mobile phase and scanned at 320 nm. The RF value obtained for the drug was 0.67 +/- 0.03. The method was validated in terms of linearity (50-400 ng/spot), precision and accuracy. The average recovery of ranitidine from urine was 89.35%. The proposed method was applied to evaluate bioequivalence of two marketed ranitidine tablet formulations (150 mg, Formulation I and Formulation 2) using a crossover design by comparing urinary excretion data for unchanged ranitidine in six healthy volunteers. Various pharmacokinetic parameters like peak excretion rate [(dAU/dt)max], time for peak excretion rate (tmax), AUC0-24, AUC0-infinity, cumulative amount excreted were calculated for both formulations and subjected to statistical analysis. The relative bioavailability of Formulation 2 with respect to Formulation 1 was 93.76 and 95.31% on the basis of AUC0-24 and cumulative amount excreted, respectively. Statistical comparison of various pharmacokinetic parameters indicated that the two ranitidine tablet formulations are bioequivalent.
