Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is one of the primary risk factors of peptic ulcer disease worldwide. Treatment of H. pylori with the conventional dosage form is often challenging due to the ineffective reach of the antibiotics to the inner layers of gastric mucosa, where the organism resides. This study developed an eco-friendly, stability-indicating RP-HPLC method to simultaneously estimate amoxicillin and tinidazole from mucoadhesive formulation targeting H. pylori infection. The mucoadhesive GRDDS formulation of antibiotics was developed with a goal of improving bioavailability at the gastric mucosa. The multivariate Box–Behnken design (BBD) was utilized to optimize chromatographic parameters. Independent variable such as ratio of mobile phase, flow rate, pH and injections volume were optimized using DoE, and analyzed using perturbation plots. A desirability of 0.981 was achieved for the optimized variables. The optimized method utilized methanol and phosphate buffer (25:75) at pH 6.3 as the mobile phase in an isocratic elution mode on a Luna ODS C18 column kept at 25 °C as the stationary phase. The method was linear from 0.25 to 20 µg/mL, for both the drugs with R2 values of 0.9993 and 0.9997 for amoxicillin and tinidazole, respectively. This validated RP-HPLC technique demonstrated selectivity in the presence of possible degradation products and excipients present in the mucoadhesive GRDDS beads. The method was used for the determination of entrapment efficiency and in vitro release profile for tinidazole and amoxicillin in the mucoadhesive GRDDS formulation.
期刊介绍:
Separation sciences, in all their various forms such as chromatography, field-flow fractionation, and electrophoresis, provide some of the most powerful techniques in analytical chemistry and are applied within a number of important application areas, including archaeology, biotechnology, clinical, environmental, food, medical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, polymer and biopolymer research. Beyond serving analytical purposes, separation techniques are also used for preparative and process-scale applications. The scope and power of separation sciences is significantly extended by combination with spectroscopic detection methods (e.g., laser-based approaches, nuclear-magnetic resonance, Raman, chemiluminescence) and particularly, mass spectrometry, to create hyphenated techniques. In addition to exciting new developments in chromatography, such as ultra high-pressure systems, multidimensional separations, and high-temperature approaches, there have also been great advances in hybrid methods combining chromatography and electro-based separations, especially on the micro- and nanoscale. Integrated biological procedures (e.g., enzymatic, immunological, receptor-based assays) can also be part of the overall analytical process.
