Development and validation of RP-HPLC method for estimation of lafutidine in bulk drug and in solid dosage forms

2012-01-01 Sunny Kumar

(M Pharm), 2012, Second Year. Developed a novel analytical method for estimation of lafutidine in bulk drug and in solid dosage form. The developed method is very economical, simple. The method is fully validated as per the ICH guidelines. The method was used successfully for the stability testing of Lafutidine at various stress conditions.

Development and validation of stability indicating assay method for effaverinz in bulk drug using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography

2011-01-01 Asish Dubey

2011, Second Year. Effaverinz is an anti-HIV drug. An analytical method was developed for the estimation of Effaverinz in bulk drug, using HPLC method, which can be used with LC-MS. The developed method was compatible with LC-MS for estimation as well as for the determination of stability at various stress conditions. Additionally the method is able to predict various degradation products from the mass spectra of the degradation products.

Development of quality management systems (QMS) in PERD centre and evaluation of quality assurance activity in analytical lab

2010-01-01 Swapnil Merghade

(M Pharm), 2010. The project was performed at PERD centre Ahmedabad. The project aimed at evaluating the present quality assurance activity at PERD centre and to suggest various changes. A quality Management System was developed for the PERD centre.

Regulatory frame work in implementation of ICH Q9 guidelines”,

2012-01-01 Amrita Das

(MSc in Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs), 2012. A possibility for the implementation of quality risk management at pharmaceutical industry was studied.
