Title of the Topic

ANALYTICAL METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF
ETODOLAC AND THIOCOLCHICOSIDE IN
PHARMACEUTICAL DOSAGE FORM
BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK
6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY:
ANALYTICAL METHODS:
Analytical methods are required to characterize drug substances and drug products composition during all phases of pharmaceutical development.Development of methods to achieve the final goal of ensuring the quality of drug substances and drug products must be implemented in conjunction with an understanding of the chemical behavior and physicochemical properties of the drug substance. Validation is a necessary and important step in both framing and documenting the capabilities of the developed method.
The present study is to make an attempt to establish a new, simple, sensitive, accurate and economical analytical method validation.
The present study is to make an attempt to establish sensitive and accurate methods for the estimation of Etodolac and Thiocolchicoside in pure and tablet dosage form.
The plan of the work as follows:
  1. Development of new analytical methods
  2. Assay of Etodolac and Thiocolchicoside tablet
  3. Accuracy studies
  4. Precision studies
  5. Stability studies
  6. Recovery studies
  7. Ruggedness and robustness
  8. Statistical evaluation
  9. Limit of detection and limit of quantitation
6.2 GENERAL DISCUSSION
ETODOLAC:
Etodolac is anon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAID)with analgesic,anti- inflammatoryandantipyreticproperties1. It blocks the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase), resulting in lower concentration of prostaglandins. As a consequence inflammation, pain and fever are reduced.

STRUCTURE OF ETODOLAC

/ .
IUPAC NAME / (±)1,8-diethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano-[3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid
MOLECULAR FORMULA / C17H21NO3
SOLUBILITY / Alcohols, Chloroform, Dimethylsulfoxide and Aqueous polyethylene glycol.
pKa / 4.65
Log P / 3.39
THIOCOLCHICOSIDE:
It is a muscle relaxant with anti- inflammatory and analgesic effects. It acts as a competitive GABA receptor antagonist and also inhibits glycine receptors2.
STRUCTURE /
IUPAC NAME / N-[(7S)-3-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-1,2-dimethoxy-10-(methylsulf​anyl)-9-oxo-5,6,7,9 tetrahydrobenzo[a]heptalen-7-yl]acetamide
SOLUBILITY / water and ethanol.
MOLECULAR FORMULA: / C27H33NO10S
6.3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
  1. Kousy reported onspectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods of the anti-inflammatory drugs,etodolacand aceclofenac3.
  2. Madhusmita et al., reported RP HPLC PDA method for simultaneous estimation of Lornoxicam and Thiocolchicoside in pharmaceutical dosage form4.
  3. Sunitaet al., reported on HPTLC method for simultaneous estimation of Thiocolchicoside and Aceclofenac as the bulk drug and in tablet dosage forms. Chromatographic separation of the drugs was performed on aluminium plates precoated with silica gel 60 as stationary phase and the solvent system consisted of toluene: ethyl acetate: methanol: glacial acetic acid (4:6:2:0.5 v/v/v)5.
  4. Shekharet al., reported on reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of Lornoxicam and Thiocolchicoside from tablets6.
  5. Arvindet al.,reported on stability indicating RP-HPLC method for the determination of Thiocolchicoside using C18 column (250mm × 4mm, 5μm) has been developed. A mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: water (70:30) was used. The flow rate was 1.0 mL min-1 with UV detection at 286 nm7.
  6. Sureshet al., reported on simultaneous estimation of Etoricoxib (ETR) and Thiocolchicoside (THC) in bulk and combined tablet dosage form by liquid Chromatography8.
  7. Manojet al., reported on UV spectrophotometric and RP HPLC method development for simultaneous determination of paracetamol and etodolac in pharmaceutical dosage form.The first method was based on UV spectrophotometric determination of both the drugs, using simultaneous equation method. It involves absorbance measurement at 256nm (paracetamol) and 226nm (etodolac) in methanol; linearity was obtained in range of 5-25 micro gram per ml for both the drugs. The second method was based on HPLC separation of two drugs in reverse phase using promosil C18 column9.
6.4 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
Since only few methods have been reported in the literature for the quantitative estimation
ofEtodolac and Thiocolchicoside, there is scope for investigation of new analytical methods for Etodolac and Thiocolchicoside in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms. In view of the above facts, the present study was aimed to develop the following analytical methods for Etodolac and Thiocolchicosidewith high sensitivity, accuracy and precision.
To develop a RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous estimation of Etodolac and Thiocolchicosidedrugs in bulk & pharmaceutical Formulation.
To validate the RP-HPLC method developed, as per ICH guidelines, for parameters such as accuracy, precision, specificity, robustness, linearity etc.
To develop UV- spectrophotometric methods for the simultaneous estimation of Etodolac and Thiocolchicosidedrugs in bulk and pharmaceutical formulation.
To validate UV- spectrophotometric methods can be developed for its quantitative estimation in bulk and pharmaceutical formulation, as per ICH guidelines, for parameters such as accuracy, precision, specificity, robustness, linearity etc.
6.5 MATERIALS AND METHODS:
HPLC METHOD:
In the present investigation of new analytical methods for quantitative estimation of new drugs, we are using HPLC (shimadzu) with SPD 20A detector and other chromatographic instruments, UV-Visible double spectrophotometer (shimadzu 1700), the drug sample will be procured from various industries. All other chemical reagents will be procured from Qualigen, Merck and S.D.fine, chemicals Mumbai.
UV/VISIBLE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY:
UV/Visiblespectroscopy can be employed to identify & quantify the compoundspresent in most of the samples, present alone or in combination with other drugs. The limitation in this method is that it is less sensitive when compared to HPLC.
