Analytical Method Development and Stability Studies of Carvedilol

Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Medicine - Pharmacology, Pharmacy, grade: 8.0, course: B.Pharm., M.Pharm, language: English, abstract: A reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) has been developed for the method development validation of Carvedilol in bulk and pharmaceutical formulation by using YMC PACK PRO 4.6 X 150 mm (5µm Particle size). The mobile phase was Buffer: Acetonitrile: (70:30) and pH was adjusted to 2 pumped at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and the eluents were monitored at 320nm. Linearity was obtained in the concentration range of 10-90 μg/ml. The retention time of Carvedilol was found to be 3.2 minute. The method was validated for specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity, and limit of detection, limit of quantification, robustness and solubility stability. LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.001 μg/ml and 0.011μg/ml respectively. The method was statistically validated and RSD was found to be less than 2% indicating high degree of accuracy and precision of the proposed HPLC method. Stability study report revealed that the drug is susceptible for acidic, alkaline, oxidative, photolytic and UV degradation. The drug is stable to thermal degradation. More over the degradants were well separated from its API. Due to its simplicity, rapidness, high precision and accuracy, the proposed HPLC method may be used for determining Carvedilol in bulk drug samples or in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

I am currently working as Assistant Professor at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences & Technology, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi, Jharkhan, India since february 2012. Prior to that I have also worked as Lecturer at R.C.P.H.S, Berhapur odisha from 2007 august to 2012 january.I have completed my B.Pharm and M.Pharm degree in the year of 2005 and 2007 respectively from C.P.S. MOHUDA, Berhapur, Odisha. I have also completed my Ph. D. from Berhampur University in the year 2012. I have guided more than 20 B.PHARM and 10 M.pharm projects. I have also published 20 research papers in various national and international journals. Presented research papers in various state, national and international conferences.
