RP-LC Gradient Elution Method for Simultaneous Determination of Thiocolchicoside, Aceclofenac and Related Impurities in Tablet Formulation Original Article RP-LC gradient elution method for simultaneous determination of thiocolchicoside, aceclofenac and related impurities in tablet formulation Pradnya A. Karbhari, Sneha J. Joshi, Suvarna I. Bhoir Department of Chemistry, ABSTRACT C.B. Patel Research Objective: The aim of the present study is to develop a simple and precise HPLC method for simultaneous Centre, 3rd floor, Bhaidas Hall, Vile Parle West, determination of thiocolchicoside, aceclofenac and related impurities in a tablet formulation and validate as Mumbai, Maharashtra, per ICH guidelines. The aim of study extends to perform forced degradation study to trace the degradation India pathways of potential degradant impurities. Materials and Methods: The separation was achieved on a 4.6 mm × 100 mm, 3 μm C18 column at 40ºC with the mobile phase containing 0.1 M ammonium acetate Address for correspondence: buffer and methanol in a gradient mode at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1. The UV detection was carried out Ms. Pradnya A. Karbhari, at 257 nm. Results: Acelofenac, thiocolchicoside and their related compounds were well separated from E-mail: pradnyapmhatre@ yahoo.co.in each other with good resolution and symmetry factor without interference of excipients. The method for assay was linear in the range of 10‑200 μg mL−1 for aceclofenac and 0.4 to 8 μg mL−1 for thiocolchicoside. Conclusion: The method was validated according to ICH guidelines and the acceptance criteria for accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, robustness, ruggedness and system suitability were met in all cases. The method was highly specific, as two related compounds of thiocolchicoside and nine related compounds of aceclofenac were well separated from each other. Stress study ensured the specificity of the method as the unknown degradation products formed during stress studies did not interfere with the determination of thiocolchicoside and aceclofenac, thus proving the stability indicating capacity of the method.

  • Be Aware of Some Medications
    Aspirin, Pain Relievers, Cold and Fever Remedies and Arthritis Medications when you have asthma, rhinitis or nasal polyps For some people with asthma, rhinitis and nasal polyps, medications such as acetylsalicylic acid or ASA and some arthritis medications can trigger very severe asthma, rhinitis, hives, swelling and shock. If you react to one of these medications, you will probably react to all of the others as well. There are many medications and products that contain ASA. This handout names some. Since new products are coming out all of the time, it is best to check with the pharmacist before using. Check the label yourself as well. If you react to these medications you must: Avoid these medications and products at all times. Let your doctor know right away if you have taken one of the medications and develop symptoms. Check the ingredients on the label yourself. Ask your pharmacist, doctor or other health care provider if you have questions. Get a medical alert bracelet or card that says you are allergic to ASA. Tell all of your health care providers that you are allergic to ASA. For pain control, use acetaminophen. Some products with acetaminophen are Atasol, Tempra, Tylenol and Novo-Gesic. Most people allergic to ASA can use acetaminophen.

    Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] Open Pharmaceutical Sciences Journal, 2015, 2, 43-55 43 Open Access Analytical Methods for Determination of Muscle Relaxant Thiocolchicoside in Pharmaceutical Preparations- A Review J.K. Rajput, P.H. Patil, S. J. Surana and A. A. Shirkhedkar* Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, R. C. Patel Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Shirpur, Dist. Dhule (MS), 425 405 India Abstract: Thiocolchicoside is a centrally acting muscle relaxant and used in combination with many NSAIDs for the treat- ment of various musculoskeletal disorders. As it is less sedative than other centrally acting muscle relaxants hence frequently prescribed for low back pain (LBP), orthopedic, traumatic and rheumatologic disorders. It is available in market in single component and as multicomponent formulations. Various analytical methods are available for determination of thiocolchico- side in drug substances and formulated products. The present article summarizes more than 100 analytical methods including all types of chromatographic, UV-Visible spectrophotometry and radio immune assays with their percentage of utility for de- termination of thiocolchicoside in biological matrices, bulk material and different pharmaceutical formulations. Keywords: Analytical methods, thiocolchicoside. INTRODUCTION Thiocolchicoside (THC) is a semisynthetic derivative of cholchicoside (natural compound) which is obtained from the seeds of Gloriosa superb and Colchicum autumnale. It is an analogue of colchicines, as they share the same benzo (alpha) heptalenic moiety [1]. It is used as muscle relaxant for the treatment of painful muscle contractions in acute and chronic rheumatic conditions, in traumatology and in pa- tients with acute low back pain [2]. Moreover, Anti- inflammatory and analgesic effects of this drug have also been reported in animal models [3].

Based on the clinical picture and triggering drugs, allergic and pseudoallergic adverse reactions to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be classified in four patterns : respiratory, cutaneous, mixed and systemic. This categorization is useful for the purpose of describing patient populations included in studies about NSAID adverse reactions as well as for the routine management of the patient in the clinical setting. Key words: Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Urticaria. Angioedema. Asthma. Cysteinil-leukotrienes. Cyclooxygenases.
