    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION VOL 3 №2 2020 Determination of Oligomer Content in Benzonatate Drug Substance by HPLC Lakshmi Narasimha Rao Katakam 1 Santhosh Kumar Ettaboina 2 Thirupathi Dongala 2 1Saptalis Pharmaceuticals LLC, New York, USA 2Aurex Pharmaceuticals Inc, East Windsor, USA Abstract. A reverse-phase liquid chromatographic method has developed and validated to determine oligomer content in Benzonatate Drug substances. This method has a separation of relatively few monomer units, which constitutes an oligomer with a minimum adequate chromatographic resolution of 1.0 from each of the subject component peaks. The separation achieved using Phenomenex Luna C18 (250 X 4.6 mm) 5 µm column at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min with an isocratic elution method. The mobile phase consisting of 0.25% Ammonium formate buffer and methanol in the ratio 350:650 (v/v), respectively. The Oligomer compounds detection carried out at UV 310 nm, and the LC method validated as per the current ICH Q2 guidelines. The method is effectively validated and proved to be precise, specific, linear, robust, and rugged to quantitate oligomer content in Benzonatate drug substance. Key words: benzonatate (BNZ), oligomers, HPLC, method validation. Introduction Benzonatate (BNZ) is an oral antitussive drug used to relieve and suppress cough in patients older than ten years of age (Oligomer Wikipedia, 2020). Currently, BNZ is the only non-narcotic antitussive available as a prescription drug. The chemical structure resembles that of the anesthetic agents in the para-amino-benzoic acid class (such as procaine and tetracaine), BNZ exhibits anesthetic or numbing action. BNZ also inhibits the transmission of impulses of the cough reflex in the medulla's vagal nuclei (Tessalon, 2020).

  • Product Information
    PRODUCT INFORMATION NAME OF THE MEDICINE POLARAMINE® (dexchlorpheniramine maleate) DESCRIPTION Polaramine (dexchlorpheniramine maleate) is the dextro-isomer of chlorpheniramine maleate. It is an antihistamine with anticholinergic properties Dexchlorpheniramine maleate (CAS no. 2438-32-6) is described chemically as (+)-2-[p- chloro-α-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]benzyl]pyridine maleate (1:1). It has the empirical formula of C16H19ClN2.C4H4O4 and the following structural formula: Dexchlorpheniramine maleate is a white, odourless, crystalline powder which in aqueous solution has a pH of between 4 and 5. It is freely soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and in chloroform, but only slightly soluble in benzene or ether. PHARMACOLOGY Pharmacodynamics Mechanism of Action: Dexchlorpheniramine, the d-isomer of the racemic compound chlorpheniramine, is two times more active than chlorpheniramine. Dexchlorpheniramine does not prevent the release of histamine, but rather, competes with free histamine for binding at the H1-receptor sites, and competitively antagonizes the effects of histamine on H1-receptors in the GI tract, uterus, large blood vessels, and bronchial muscle. Blockade of H1-receptors also suppresses the formation of oedema, flare, and pruritus that result from histaminic activity. Since dexchlorpheniramine binds to central and peripheral H1-receptors, sedative effects are likely to occur. H1-antagonists are structurally similar to anticholinergic agents and therefore possess the potential to exhibit anticholinergic properties of varying

Accepted on: 06-03-2011; Finalized on: 28-05-2011. ABSTRACT This study proposes a method for simultaneous estimation of Ambroxol HCl, Guaifenesin and Terbutaline sulphate in syrup form. The study was done by combining three spectrophotometric methods viz use of specific absorbance [A 1%, 1cm], second order derivative and colorimetry. Absorption of Guaifenesin and Terbutaline sulphate were found to be zero at 307.5nm, thus enabling the measurement of Ambroxol HCl, using specific absorbance in zero order spectrum. Applying the second order derivative, the amplitude of Guaifenesin was measured at 279.4nm, while Ambroxol HCl and Terbutaline sulphate were at zero cross point. For colorimetric measurement of Terbutaline Sulphate, a colored substance was obtained by coupling the oxidized product of Terbutaline sulphate with 4-aminoantipyrine and its absorption was measured at 550nm. The proposed method was statistically validated in accordance with ICH guidelines and results were found to be satisfactory for accuracy, precision and specificity. Keywords: Ambroxol HCl, Guaifenesin and Terbutaline sulphate, second order derivative, colorimetric method.
