Mr. S.J. Daharwal

As the mankind made his way through remote times and places, he was always followed by
disease and sickness from ill health. Thus originated drugs and medicines to cure it
and began evaluation of practice of pharmacy and pharmaceuticals.

Market is flooded with combination of drugs in various dosage forms1 (Table-1). The multi-

components formulations have gained a lot of importance nowadays due to greater patient

acceptability, increased potency, multiple action, fewer side effects and quicker relief 2.

There is a plethora of analysis of such formulations without prior separation. For the

estimation of multi-component formulation, the instrumental techniques, which are commonly

employed, are spectrophotometry, GLC, high performance thin layer chromatography

(HPTLC), HPLC etc. These methods are based upon the measurement of specific and

nonspecific physical properties of the substances.

Spectrophotometric multi-component analysis

Absorption spectroscopy is one of the most useful and widely used tools available to the

analyte for quantitative analysis. The relation between the concentration of analyte and the

amount of light absorbed is the basis of most analytical applications of molecular

spectroscopy. This method of analysis is gaining importance due to simple, rapid, precise,
highly accurate and less time consuming. Spectrophotometric multi-component analysis can

be applied where the spectra of drugs overlaps. In such cases of overlapping spectra,

simultaneous equation can be framed to obtain the concentration of individual component;

otherwise multi-component analysis can be applied on any degree of spectral overlap provided

that two or more spectra are not similar exactly. Some examples are listed in table-2.

The various spectroscopic techniques used for multi-component analysis are as

follows

Simultaneous equation method (Vierodt’s method) 3

Concentration of several components present in the same mixture can be determined by

solving a set of simultaneous equation even if their spectra overlap. If Beer’s law is followed,

these equations are linier.

Two wavelength method3

The method can be used to calculate the concentration of component of interest found in a

mixture containing it along some unwanted interfering component. The absorption different

between two points on the mixture spectra is directly proportional to the concentration of the

component to be determined irrespective of the interfering component.

The absorption ratio method3

The absorbance ratio method is a modification of the simultaneous equation procedure. It

depends on the property that for a substance, which obeys Beer’s law at all wavelength, the

ratio of absorbance at any two wavelengths is constant value independent of concentration or

path length. e.g. Two dilutions of the same substance give the same absorbance ratio A1 / A2.

In the USP, this ratio is referred to as Q value. In the quantitative assay of two components in

admixture by the absorbance ratio method, absorbances are measured at two wavelengths.

One being the λ max of one of the components (λ2) and the other being a wavelength of equal

absorptivity of the two components (λ1), i.e., an iso-absorptive point.

Geometric correction method3

A number of the mathematical correction procedures have been developed which reduce or

eliminate the background irrelevant absorption that may be present in the samples of

biological origin. The simplest of this procedure is the three-point geometric procedure, which
may be applied if the irrelevant absorption is linier at the three wavelengths selected. This

procedure is simply algebraic calculations of what the baseline technique in infrared

spectrophotometry dose graphically.

Absorption factor method (Absorption correction method) 3

It is further modification of simultaneous equation method. Quantitative determination of one

drug is carried out by E (1%, 1 cm) value and quantitation of another drug is carried out by

subtraction absorption due to interfering drug using absorption factors.

Orthogonal polynomial method3

The technique of orthogonal polynomials is another mathematical correction procedure, which

involves complex calculation than the three-point correction procedure. The basis of the

method is that an absorption spectrum may be represented in terms of orthogonal functions.

Difference spectrophotometry3

Difference spectrophotometry provides a sensitive method for detecting small changes in the

environment of a chromophore or it can be used to demonstrate ionization of a chromophore

leading to identification and quantitation of various components in mixture. The essential

feature of difference spectrophotometric assay is that the measured value is the difference

absorbance (∆A) between two equimolar solutions of the analyte in different chemical forms,

which exhibits different spectral characteristics.

Derivative spectrophotometry3

Derivative spectrophotometry is useful means of resolving two overlapping spectra and

eliminating matrix interference due to an indistinct shoulder on side of an absorption bands. It

involves conversion of normal spectrum [A= f (λ)]to its first [dA/ dλ = f (λ)], second [d2A/ dλ2

= f (λ)]and higher derivatives spectra where the amplitude in the derivative spectrum is

proportional to the concentration of the analyte provided that Beer’s law is obeyed by the

fundamental spectrum.

Area under curve method4

In this method, the absorptivity values (ε1 and ε2) of each of the two drugs were determined at

the selected wavelength range. Total area under curve of a mixture at wavelength range is
equal to the sum of area under the individual component at that wavelength range. This

method is applicable when the λ max of the two components are reasonably dissimilar, the two

components do not interact chemically and both the component must be soluble in same

solvent.

The methods deviated when overlapping of UV spectra of two drugs significantly and large

difference in labeled strength5. e. g. Tizanidine HCl 3.0 mg and nimesulide 100.0 mg per

tablet. The accuracy of the method depends upon nature of solvent, pH of solution,

temperature, high electrolyte concentration and the presence of interfering substances.

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC):

This technique is based on the same method of separation as classical column

chromatography. i.e. adsorption, partition, ion exchange and gel permeation but it differ from

column chromatography, in that mobile phase is pumped through the packed column under

high pressure. The technique is most widely used for all the analytical separation technique

due to its sensitivity, its ready adaptability to accumulate quantitative determinations, its

suitability for separating nonvolatile species or thermally fragile ones. In normal HPLC, polar

solids such as silica gel; alumina (Al2O3) or porous glass beads and non-polar mobile phase

such as heptane, octane or chloroform are used but if the opposite case holds, it is called as

reversed phase HPLC. Some examples are listed in table-3 and 4

High performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC):

The principle is based on plane chromatography. The mobile phase normally is driven by

capillary action. The prominent advantages of this technique includes possibilities of

separating of up to 70 samples and standard simultaneously on a single plate leading to high

throughout, low cost analogs and the ability to construct calibration curves from standard

chromatography under the same condition as the sample. Analyzing a sample by use of

multiple separation steps and static post chromatographic detection procedures with various

universal and specific visualization regents that are possible because all the sample

components are stored on the layer without the chance of loss. Some examples are listed in

table-5.

Gas chromatography (GC):

GC is one of the most extensively used separation technique in which separation is

accomplished by partitioning solute between a mobile gas phase and stationary phase, either
liquid or solid. The chief requirement is same degrees of stability at the temperature necessary

to maintain the substance in gas state. Some examples are listed in table-6.

Validation of methods6:

Validation by definition is an act of providing that any process, method, equipment, material,

activity, system or analyst performs as expected under given set of conditions. When

extended to an analytical procedure, depending upon the application it means that a method

works reproducibility when carried out by a same or different person, in same or different

laboratories, using different regent, different equipment etc. It will ensure commitment to

quality of products and services. It builds a degree of confidence not only for the developer

but also to the user.

Validation of analytical method should follow a well documented procedure beginning with the

definition of the scope of the method and its validation criteria and including the compounds

and matrices, desired detection and quantitation limits and any other important performance

criteria. The scope of method should include different equipment and locations where the

method will be run. The methods were validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision,

specificity and reproducibility of sample applications. Analytical method validation has been

performed according to ICH guidelines. Accuracy of the method is certain on the basis of

recovery studies performed by the standard addition method. The formula used for calculating

recovery of pure drug is

Percentage recovery = T - A X 100 / S

Where T = Total amount of drug estimated

A= Amount contributed by formulation

S = Amount of pure drug added.

Precision of analytical method is expressed as SD and RSD of series of measurement by

replicate estimation of drug.

The stability indicating ability of the method has been investigated by deliberately degrading

the sample preparation. The stress conditions applied are acidic (0.1 M HCl), alkalis (0.1M

NaOH) and mild oxidizing condition (3% H2O2) for 24 hr at 50 C. Also heat (60C) and U.V.

exposure for 24 hr will be carried out on the sample.

The linearity of the method was investigated by serially diluting the stock solutions of drugs

and measured values.

Ruggedness studies has been carried out for different parameters i.e. days and analysts. The

results shall be compared with the method.

Conclusion:

The multi-drug therapy is an ancient phenomenon to combat interrelated symptoms of

diseased status of human beings. Since it ensure timely and complete medication for disorder

and it has patient compliance, as it reduces the number of formulations to be taken at a time.

Therefore, the pharmaceutical formulations with combinations of drugs have shown an

increasing trend to counteract other symptoms specific to one drug n formulation, and hence

analytical chemist will have to accept the challenge of developing reliable methods for analysis

of drugs in such formulation.

Simultaneous analysis procedures are now being used more frequently for estimation of drugs

in multi-component pharmaceutical formulations due to their inherent advantages viz. avoid

time consuming extraction and separation, economical in the sense that use of expensive

regents is minimized are equally accurate and precise. . For the estimation of multi-component

formulation, the instrumental techniques, which are commonly employed, are

spectrophotometery, GLC, high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), HPLC etc.

The validation of methods has to validate by using same parameters as per ICH guidelines.
