A simple, precise, and accurate isocratic RP-UFLC stability-indicating assay method has been developed to determine trospium chloride in tablet dosage form. Isocratic separation was achieved on an Enable-C18G (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., particle size 5 ?m) column at room temperature, the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile:0.01M TBAHS (50:50, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, the injection volume was 20 ?l, and PDA detection was carried out at 215 nm. The drug was subjected to acid and alkali hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis, and heat as stress conditions. The method was validated for specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, and system suitability. The method was linear in the drug concentration range of 10-300 ?g/ml with the correlation coefficient being 0.999. The RSD for repeatability and intermediate precision was well below 2%. The mean recoveries were between 100.52-101.68% for trospium chloride.

A novel, stability-indicating UHPLC method was developed for the quantitative determination of Abacavir sulfate, its related substances, and forced degradation impurities in bulk drugs. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Waters Acquity BEH C(8), 50 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 ?m particle size column with a mobile containing a gradient mixture of solution A (0.10 % v/v o-phosphoric acid in water) and solution B (0.10% v/v o-phosphoric acid in methanol). The flow rate was set at 0.40 mL/min and the run time was 6.0 min. The drug substance was subjected to the stress studies of hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis, and thermal degradation. Abacavir sulfate was found to degrade significantly under acidic hydrolysis and oxidative stress conditions. The formed degradation products were reported and were well-resolved from Abacavir and its related substances. The mass balance was found to be satisfactory in all of the stress conditions, thus proving the stability-indicating capability of the method. The developed UHPLC method was validated to be in agreement with ICH requirements and found to be rapid, accurate, precise, linear, specific, and suitable for the quantitative determination of related substances and degradants in the bulk drug samples of Abacavir sulfate.

A reversed-phase gradient liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the quantitative determination of Voriconazole, along with its degradation and diastereomeric impurities in tablet dosage form. Chromatographic separation has been achieved on an Inertsil ODS 3V, 150 × 4.6 mm, 5 ?m column. The mobile phase consisting of solvent A 0.05 molar (M) potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 2.5 buffer) and solvent B (mixture of acetonitrile and methanol in the ratio 90:10 (v/v)), was delivered at a flow rate of 1.2 mL min(-1) with the detection wavelength at 256 nm. Resolution of Voriconazole and all five potential impurities was achieved at greater than 2.0 for all pairs of compounds. The drug was subjected to stress conditions such as oxidative, acid and base hydrolysis, and thermal and photolytic degradation. Voriconazole was found to degrade significantly under base hydrolysis stress conditions compared to acid hydrolysis stress conditions. The degradation products were well-resolved from the main peak and its impurities, thus proving the stability-indicating power of the method. The stressed samples were assayed against a reference standard and the mass balance was found to be close to 99.0%. The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines with respect to specificity, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy, precision, and robustness.

Efficacy and toxicity of a CD22-targeted antibody-saporin conjugate in a xenograft model of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) can deliver potent drugs to cancer cells by employing the specificity of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). ADCs have demonstrated significant anticancer activity and, in 2011, brentuximab vedotin has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of Hodgkin's and anaplastic large cell lymphomas. CD22 is an ideal target for ADC against B-cell malignancies because of its lineage-specific expression and rapid internalization upon antibody binding. In this study, we evaluated the anti-CD22 mAb HB22.7 as a vehicle for the targeted delivery of the potent toxin saporin (SAP). In vitro, HB22.7-SAP was cytotoxic against a panel of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) cell lines representing the most common types of the disease. Moreover, in a xenograft model of NHL, HB22.7-SAP significantly inhibited the growth of established lesions and completely prevented tumor development when treatment was initiated within 24 h from tumor-cell inoculation. HB22.7-SAP had no significant in vivo toxicity. In conclusion, HB22.7 constitutes a potential platform for CD22-targeted ADCs.
