Abstract

A novel method for the simultaneous estimation of Famotidine and Domperidone tablet in combined dosage form was

developed and validated by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The determination was performed

on a Symmetry C18 column (250mm x 4.6mm ID, 5µm particle size) and the mobile phase consisting of a mixture of

0.002M Sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH adjusted to 5.8 with Orthophosphoric acid) and Acetonitrile (60:40,

v/v) was delivered at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and detector wavelength at 287nm. The retention time of Famotidine and

Domperidone was found to be 3.216 and 5.762min respectively. The linearity for Famotidine and Domperidone was

obtained in the concentration range of 5-30µg/ml and 2.5-15µg/ml with correlation coefficients (r2) of the regression

equations greater than 0.999 in all cases respectively. Results of assay and recovery studies were statistically evaluated

for its accuracy and precision as per ICH guidelines. Famotidine and Domperidone API and market formulation were

subjected to acid and alkali hydrolysis, thermal and photolytic forced degradation. The peak purity of drug substance

and drug product peak also confirmed the specificity of the method with respect to the degradation products. In the

forced degradation study Famotidine and Domperidone showed maximum degradation in basic hydrolysis stress study

followed by less degradation in acid, thermal and photolytic degradation. The developed method was simple, specific,

sensitive, rapid, and economic and can be used for estimation of Famotidine and Domperidone in bulk and their

combined dosage form for routine analysis and stability studies.

INTRODUCTION

Famotidine (Fig.1) is chemically known as 3-([2-(diaminomethyleneamino) thiazol- 4-yl] methyl

thio) - N'-sulfamoylpropanimidamide is used in the treatment of peptic ulcer and gastro

esophageal disease [1]. Domperidone (Fig. 2) is chemically known as 5-chloro-1-(1-[3-(2-oxo-2,

3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl) propyl] piperidin-4-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one

is used in the treatment of gastro esophageal reflux disease [2]. Literature survey reveals

Spectrophotometry [3, 4], derivative Spectrophotometry [5, 6], RP-HPLC [7, 8, 9], HPTLC [10]

methods have been reported as a single as well as combination with other drugs. However, there

is few work was reported for the simultaneous estimation of these drugs by RP-HPLC method.

Hence, in the present study an attempt has been made to develop simple, accurate, sensitive,

precise and repeatable RP-HPLC method, for the simultaneous estimation of both drugs in tablet

dosage form with degradation studies.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

To optimize the RP-HPLC parameters, several mobile phase compositions were tried. A

satisfactory separation and good peak symmetry for Famotidine and Domperidone were obtained

with a mobile phase containing a mixture of 0.01M Sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH

adjusted to 5.8 with Orthophosphoric acid) and Acetonitrile (60:40, v/v) was delivered at a flow

rate of 1 ml/min to get better reproducibility and repeatability. Quantification was achieved with

PDA detection at 287nm based on peak area. The retention time of Famotidine and Domperidone

was found to be 3.216 and 5.762min respectively (Fig. 5). Linear correlation was obtained

between peak area versus concentrations of Famotidine and Domperidone in the concentration

ranges of concentration range of 5-30 µg/ml and 2.5-15µg/ml are r2=0.999 and r

2=0.999 and

mean accuracies 99.62± 0.17% and 99.73± 0.32% for Famotidine and Domperidone, which

indicates accuracy of the proposed method. The % RSD values for Famotidine and Domperidone

were found to be < 2 %, which indicates that the proposed method is repeatable. The % RSD

values of repeatability are 0.51% and 0.64% for Famotidine and Domperidone respectively and

% RSD values of system precision are 0.42% and 0.63% for Famotidine and Domperidone

respectively. The % RSD values of ruggedness are 0.5% and 0.47% for Famotidine and

Domperidone respectively, reveal that the proposed method is precise. LOD values for

Famotidine and Domperidone were found to be 0.33µg/ml and 0.21µg/ml, respectively and LOQ

values for Famotidine and Domperidone were found to be 1.02µg/ml and 0.63µg/ml,

respectively (Table 3). The % RSD values for Famotidine and Domperidone were found to be <

2 %, which indicates that the proposed method is robust (Table 4, 5, 6 and 7). These data show

that the proposed method is sensitive for the determination of Famotidine and Domperidone. The

results of system suitability testing are given in (Table 8). Degradation study [12] of

Famotidine and Domperidone in 0.1N HCl at 70°C for 4 hours in reflux condition:

Famotidine and Domperidone peak was observed at retention time 3.193 min and 5.211 min

respectively (Fig. 7). The % drug degradation observed of Famotidine and Domperidone was

0.10 % and 2.29 % respectively (Table 10). From this it is observed that Famotidine and

Domperidone showed less degradation in acid hydrolysis degradation condition.

Domperidone was 2.40 % and 2.88 % respectively (Table 10). From this it is observed that

Famotidine and Domperidone showed maximum degradation in base hydrolysis degradation

condition.

CONCLUSION

Stability indicating RP-HPLC methods for estimation of Famotidine & Domperidone in their

combine dosage form was established and validated as per the ICH guidelines. The forced

degradation study and peak purity data confirmed that there was no merging between peaks of

active ingredients and any other degradation products as well as other additives. Hence the

specificity of the proposed method was established. The linearity of developed method was

achieved in the range of 5-30 μg/ml for Famotidine (r2=0.999) and 2.5-15µg/ml for Domperidone

(r2=0.999). The percentage recovery of drug was achieved in the range of 98-102 % (Table 3)

which was within the acceptance criteria. The percentage RSD was NMT 2 % which proved the

precision of the developed method. Different degradation products were found for drug product

in acidic, alkaline, thermal and photolytic force degradation. Peak of degraded products were not

interfering with the main drug peak of Famotidine & Domperidone. Thus, these degradation

products have not been identified. The developed method is simple, sensitive, rapid, linear,

precise, rugged, accurate, specific, and robust. Hence it can be used for the routine analysis of

Famotidine & Domperidone in their bulk and combine dosage form in quality control laboratory

and stability studies.
