Analytical Methods of Antidiabetic Drugs – Sitagliptin, Saxagliptin, Linagliptin, Alogliptin, Gemifibrozil, Troglitazone, Pioglitazone and Rosiglitazone: A Review

Abstract

Analytical techniques used to determine chemical or physical property of analyte, chemical substance, chemical element or mixture. There are different types of analytical techniques used in pharmaceutical field for qualitative and quantitative estimation of drugs in biological fluids such as human plasma, human serum, human urine etc. and its formulations such as tablet, capsule, bulk drugs etc. This review work aims to provide most of existing analytical methods for analysis of Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor and Peroxisome proliferator activated (PPAR) agonist. Estimation of Sitagliptin, Saxagliptin, Alogliptin, Gemifibrozil, Troglitazone, Pioglitazone, Linagliptin, and Rosiglitazone in active pharmaceutical ingredients, biological fluids and in various formulations which is reported in various research articles are reviewed. The analytical techniques which are utilised for the estimation of these drugs involves RP-HPLC, HPTLC, UPLC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, Raman spectroscopy, Liquid chromatography and Tandem mass spectrometry, TLC-densitometry with fluorescent detector, LC-ESI-MS-MS etc. are involved. The review assist in appropriate selection of analytical technique, mobile phase, column and detector based on available analytical instruments and chemicals by referring tabulated extensive condition. DPP4 inhibitor used in treatment of type 2 diabetes, hypoglycemia, weight loss etc. PPAR agonist also used in treatement of type 2 diabetes, in metabolic syndrome mainly for lowering triglycerides and blood sugar etc.
