Damle AISSMS College of Pharmacy, Kennedy Road, Near Rto, Pune Article Received on 17/06/2016 Article Revised on 05/07/2016 Article Accepted on 26/07/2016 ABSTRACT A simple, rapid validated stability indicating HPTLC method of Acebrophylline was successfully developed. This method is based on HPTLC separation afollowed by UV detection at 248 nm and 273 nm. The separation was carried out on merck TLC aluminium sheets precoated with silica gel 60F254 using toluene: methanol (5:5 v/v) as a mobile phase. Acebrophylline gave well defined and sharp peak at Rf 0.48 ± 0.02 at 273 nm and 0.85±0.02 at 248 nm. Calibration curve was linear in range ng/band. Stress degradation study shows that sample degraded with acid and base hydrolysis, under oxidation, thermal and photolytic stress conditions. The peak purity parameter ensured non-interference by product of degradation. This method can be applied to determination of stability of Acebrophylline. The suitability of this HPTLC method for quantitative determination of Acebrophylline was proved by validation in accordance with requirements of ICH guidelines. KEYWORDS: Acebrophylline, HPTLC, Stability, Validation. INTRODUCTION Acebrophylline is chemically 4-[(2-amino-3,5 dibromophenyl)methylamino]cyclohexan-1-ol;2-(1,3- dimethyl-2,6-dioxopurin-7-yl)acetic acid. It is used as Bronchodilator in treatment of asthma. [1] Literature survey revealed that various analytical methods like spectrophotometric [2-3], RP-HPLC [4-7], LC-MS [8], simple TLC [9], SIM- HPLC [10-13] have been reported for the determination of Acebrophylline, but no stability indicating HPTLC method has yet been reported for estimation of Acebrophylline. Development of SIM is based on systematic exposure of API to various stress conditions. Systematic optimization trials are required to arrive at combination of concentration of stress reagent and duration of exposure, to obtain degradation preferably in the 10-30% range. Typical degradative conditions involve hydrolysis under different ph conditions, photolysis, oxidation and thermal. MATERIALS AND METHODS Reagents and Chemicals Working standard of Acebrophylline were obtained from SAVI PHARMA, Majhitar, Sikkim(India). Methanol (AR grade), Toluene (AR grade), Hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2, 30% v/v), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were purchased from LOBA CHEMIE PVT. LTD. Mumbai. Preparation of Standard Stock Solution Standard stock solution of Acebrophylline were prepared by dissolving 10 mg of drug in 10 ml of methanol get concentration of 1000 µg/ml. From the standard stock solution, working standard solution was prepared containing 100µg/ml of Acebrophylline using Methanol. Selection of Detection Wavelength From the standard stock solution further dilutions were done using methanol and scanned over the range of nm and the spectra was obtained. It was observed that Acebrophylline showed considerable absorbance at 248 nm and 273 nm. Fig 1: Structure of Acebrophylline

2 Oxidation Degradation µg/ml) was mixed with 1ml 30% v/v H 2 O 2, volume was made up to 10ml with Methanol. Solution was kept for 1/2hr and applied on TLC plate. Degradation Under Dry Heat Dry heat study was performed by keeping both drugs in oven at 60 0 C. A sample was withdrawn after 4hrs, weighed and dissolved in methanol to get solution of 100µg/ml of Acebrophylline and then applied on TLC plate. Fig 2: Absorbance Spectrum of Acebrophylline (10 µg/ml). Chromatographic state and Instrumentation Chromatographic separation of drug was performed on Aluminum plates precoated with silica gel 60 F 254, (10 cm 10 cm with 250 µm layer thickness).samples were applied on the plate as a band with 5 mm width using Camag 100 μl sample syringe (Hamilton, Switzerland) with a Linomat 5 applicator (Camag, Switzerland). The mobile phase was composed of Toluene: Methanol (5:5 v/v).10 cm 10 cm CAMAG twin trough glass chamber was used for linear ascending development of TLC plate under 15 min saturation conditions and 10 ml of organic solvent was used per run, migration distance was 90 mm. Densitometric scanning was performed using Camag TLC scanner 3 in the range of nm, operated by wincats software (Version 1.4.3, Camag), slit dimensions were 3.00 x 0.45 mm and Deuterium lamp was used as a radiation source. Photo-Degradation Photolytic studies were carried out by exposure of drug to UV light up to 200 watt hrs/square meter and subsequently to cool fluorescent light to achieve an illumination of 1.2 million Lux hrs. Sample was weighed, dissolved and diluted get 100 µg/ml as final concentration and was applied on TLC plate. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Optimization of Chromatographic Conditions The primary objective in developing this stability indicating HPTLC method is to achieve the resolution of Acebrophylline. The chromatographic separation was achieved by linear ascending development in 10 cm 10 cm twin trough glass chamber using. Toluene: Methanol (5:5 v/v) as mobile phase and detection was carried out at 248 nm and 273 nm. The retention factor for Acebrophylline was found to be 0.85 ± 0.02 at 248 nm and 0.48 at 273 nm. Representative Densitogram of standard solution of Acebrophylline is shown in figure.

4 Validation of The Method The method was validated for various parameters in accordance with ICH guidelines. Linearity The calibration curve was obtained in the range of ng/band for Acebrophylline by applying different volumes on TLC of stock solution 100 μg/ml resp. Each standard in six replicates was analyzed and peak areas were recorded. Standard calibration graph was plotted of peak area Vs concentration applied. The equation of the calibration curve found for Acebrophylline was y= x at 248 nm and y= 4.145x at 273 nm.the coefficient of correlation (r 2 ) was found to be and for Acebrophylline at 248 nm and 273 respectively shown in Figure.

Fig 5: Calibration curve for Acebrophylline at 248 nm and 273 nm Precision The precision of the system was demonstrated by intraday and inter-day studies. In the intraday study 6 replicates of 1 standard concentrations (1500ng/band for Acebrophylline) were analyzed in a day and percentage RSD was calculated. For the inter day study, 3 replicates of 3 consecutive concentrations were analyzed and percentage RSD was calculated. For interday system precision 0.42 % and 0.56 % at 248 nm and 273 nm respectively. For intraday RSD was found to be 0.62 and 1.78% for Acebrophylline at 248 nm and 273 nm respectively. Assay Five tablets (Marketed product) each containing 100 mg of Acebrophylline were weighed and powdered. Powder equivalent to 10 mg of drug was transferred to 10 ml volumetric flask and was diluted with methanol, sonicated for 10 min and volume made to 10 ml (1000 µg/ml). Solution was filtered through Whatman filter paper and further dilutions were made to get the final concentration of 100 µg/ml of which 10 µl volumes was applied on plate. Analysis was repeated for two times. % assay was determined from linearity equation.
