A modified high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of pantoprazole sodium in pharmaceutical dosage forms using lansoprazole as internal standard

A green three-ratio manipulating spectrophotometric approaches for the determination of a binary mixture of pantoprazole and domperidone

BACKGROUND

Pantoprazole (PAN) is a proton pump inhibitor used to treat GERD and hyperacidity by suppressing gastric acid secretion, effectively relieving symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and indigestion. Domperidone (DOM) is a prokinetic agent that enhances gastrointestinal motility, helping to alleviate nausea, vomiting, and bloating caused by motility disorders. Their combination (Pantosec-D) provides rapid and comprehensive relief from both acid-related and motility-related symptoms, significantly improving patient comfort and quality of life.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to develop and validate three eco-friendly spectrophotometric techniques-ratio difference (RD), first derivative (1DD), and mean centering (MC) of ratio spectra-for the simultaneous determination of PAN and DOM in pharmaceutical formulations.

METHOD

The proposed methods resolve spectral overlap through ratio spectra manipulation. In the RD method, DOM is quantified by measuring the amplitude difference at 209 nm and 233 nm, while PAN is determined at 254 nm and 223 nm. The 1DD method detects DOM at 215 nm and PAN at 249 nm, whereas the MC method quantifies PAN at 254 nm and DOM at 209 nm.

RESULTS

The suggested methods were validated according to ICH regulations. Pharmaceutical formulations comprising PAN and DOM were effectively analyzed using the linear correlations obtained for both drugs over concentration ranges of 0.5-52 µg/mL and 1-18 µg/mL, respectively.

CONCLUSION

Compared with reported spectrophotometric techniques, ratio methods are especially beneficial for routine pharmaceutical analysis due to their ease of use, capacity for handling overlapping spectra, and robustness to experimental variations. Compared with reported chromatographic methods, these techniques provide easy-to-use, reasonably priced, less solvent, and dependable substitutes for the standard quality control of these medications in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Design and synthesis of high quantum yield doped carbon nano probe derived from household sources for sensing of the anti-GERD drug pantoprazole

This contribution aims to design and validate a new green, cheap, and fast approach for determining the anti-GERD drug pantoprazole in different matrices. New S and N-doped carbon nanomaterials (S,N-CNMs) have been prepared via microwave irradiation of a mixture of widely available household sources. Remarkably, the utilization of a blend of carbamide and thiocarbamide with table sugar yields S,N-CNMs exhibiting the utmost quantum yield (54 %), hydrophilicity, as well as stable, homogeneous, and diminutive particle size distribution. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, spectrophotometry, and fluorescence spectroscopy were applied to characterize the S,N-CNMs. The S,N-CNMs have been used as a turn-off fluorescence probe to determine pantoprazole via a synergism of the inner filter effect and static quenching mechanisms. The fluorescence quenching is linearly correlated to pantoprazole concentration over the range of 1.0-25.0 µg/mL with a detection limit of 0.16 µg/mL. The developed probe exhibited good selectivity for pantoprazole in the presence of variability of substances. Therefore, it was applied for quality control of pantoprazole in pharmaceutical tablets and vials with an average recovery % of 100.10 ± 0.77 % and 100.33 ± 0.92 %, respectively. Moreover, it was successfully implemented to examine the content uniformity of pantoprazole in tablets. Furthermore, the prepared S,N-CNMs have been successfully used for the analysis of pantoprazole in human plasma after a simple protein precipitation step with a recovery % of 97.88 ± 5.72 %. The greenness and blueness of the developed method have been positively assessed by recent tools showing the eco-friendliness and applicability of the developed method.

Simultaneous Pharmacokinetic Evaluation of Pantoprazole and Vitamin B Complex for Assessing Drug–Drug Interactions in Healthy Bangladeshi Adults by a Newly Developed and Validated HPLC Method

The present study has been designed to evaluate the impact of the co-administration of pantoprazole (PNT) with vitamin B (VTB) complex (VTB comprising VTB1, VTB6, and VTB12 in this study) on pharmacokinetic behavior. In this study, HPLC-based sensitive and efficient methods for simultaneous determination in human plasma were developed per US-FDA bioanalytical standards. The pharmacokinetic parameters of PNT, VTB1, VTB6, and VTB12 were also evaluated when the medicines were administered alone and co-administered. Following linearity, it was observed that the plasma PNT, VTB1, VTB6, and VTB12 retention times were 6.8 ± 0.2, 2.7 ± 0.1, 5.5 ± 0.2, and 3.8 ± 0.1 min, respectively, over the range of 1−100 μg/mL. For all analytes at the lower limit of quantification and all other values, intra-assay and inter-assay bias were within 15% and 13.5%, respectively. They barely interacted when PNT and VTB samples were evaluated in physical combinations through in vitro tests. Moreover, in the pharmacokinetics study, treatment with VTB did not significantly alter the pharmacokinetic characteristics of PNT. Therefore, the current work’s results might help assess drug–drug interactions that may be applied to bioequivalence studies and therapeutic drug monitoring.

Progress of Pretreatment and Analytical Methods of Proton Pump Inhibitors: An Update since 2010

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most commonly used medication for stomach secretion disorders. However, when it comes to safe, discreet pharmaceutical practice, widely recognized preparational and analytical method(s) for PPIs with sensitivity, selectivity, speed and high accuracy still remains underdeveloped. For this reason, this paper sets out to make a comprehensive review of the preparation and determination methods for PPIs based on multiple matrices since 2010. We have integrated newly-developed techniques (such as solid phase extraction, liquid phase micro-extraction, and solid phase micro-extraction) into conventional sample preparational methods. On the other hand, our analytical techniques include liquid chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and employment of sensors. In addition, we have identified the pros and cons of each technique and have forecast their future developmental trends.

Development and Validation of an HPLC Method for the Determination of Meloxicam and Pantoprazole in a Combined Formulation

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs worldwide. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal. Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), can be used to prevent these events from occurring. In this study, we attempt to develop and validate a novel method for determining and validating the fixed-dose combination of meloxicam and pantoprazole. A new method has been developed and validated to estimate pantoprazole and meloxicam in a fixed-dose combination using RP-HPLC. In order to separate the drugs, a mobile phase phosphate buffer/acetate was used (30:70, v/v), with a pH of 3.4 and a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min at 25 °C. The detection wavelength for the drugs was at a wavelength of 310 nm. The retention times for meloxicam and pantoprazole were 6 and 9 min, respectively. In concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 200 mg/L, the linearity of the detector was established. The r was 0.9998 for both drugs. Recovery rates ranged from 98 to 102% on average. According to the guidelines of the International Council on Harmonization, the results were satisfactory. Using the method presented herein, the pharmaceutical formulation of the combined meloxicam and pantoprazole can be routinely tested.

Simultaneous Quantitative Analysis of Six Proton-Pump Inhibitors with a Single Marker and Evaluation of Stability of Investigated Drugs in Polypropylene Syringes for Continuous Infusion Use

Objective

We developed and validated a simple, convenient and reproducible method for simultaneous estimation of six proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), omeprazole (OPZ), esomeprazole (EOPZ), lansoprazole (LPZ), pantoprazole (PPZ), rabeprazole (RPZ) and ilaprazole (IPZ) in pharmaceutical dosage forms by a single marker. Meanwhile, the stability of the cited PPIs in 0.9% sodium chloride injection stored in polypropylene syringes up to 48 hours for continuous infusion use was investigated.

Materials and Methods

The chromatographic separation was achieved on an InterSustain^® C₁₈ column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The isocratic mobile phase made up of 0.05 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 4.0): acetonitrile (65:35, v/v) was pumped through the column at a temperature maintained at 30°C and a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The relative retention time, UV spectral similarity and relative correction factors between OPZ and the other five PPIs were calculated and investigated using the quantitative analysis of multi-components with a single marker (QAMS) method. The stability study examined physical parameters, pH values and drug concentrations of the PPIs mixtures.

Results

Under these conditions, all cited PPIs were separated simultaneously at a retention time of 6.0, 7.3, 7.3, 9.9, 12.5 and 13.9 min for RPZ, OPZ, EOPZ, IPZ, PPZ and LPZ, respectively, with a total run time less than 20.0 min. Comparative analysis results indicated that there were no significant differences observed between the QAMS method and the external standard method. The percentage of initial concentration of each PPI gradually decreased during the storage time.

Conclusion

The proposed method, which is selective, economical and accurate, was applied successfully for determination of the cited PPIs in their respective pharmaceutical dosage forms. Admixtures of OPZ, EOPZ, PPZ, IPZ in 0.9% sodium chloride injection were stable for 24 hours and LPZ, RPZ in 0.9% sodium chloride injection were stable for 8 hours in polypropylene syringes.
