ABSTRACT

Daunorubicin is a chemotherapy medicine used to treat cancer. A

simple, sensitive and specific stability indicating high performance

liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of

Daunorubicin was developed and validated by using Kromasil C18

column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5µm) using a mixture of methanol and

Acetonitrile in the ratio 75:25 (v/v) as a mobile phase and at a flow rate

of 1.0mL/min. Quantification was achieved with an UV detector at 254

nm over the concentration range of 5–30µg/mL. The applied HPLC

method allowed the separation and quantification of Daunorubicin with

good linearity (r2 = 0.999) in the studied concentration range. Limit of

detection and limit of quantification were found to be 0.3µg/mL and

1.0µg/mL, respectively. The method was validated as per the

International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Daunorubicin stock solution

was subjected to different stress conditions. The degraded product peaks were well resolved

from the pure drug peak with significant difference in their retention time values. Stressed

samples were assayed using developed HPLC method. Statistical analysis of the data showed

that the method is precise, accurate, reproducible, and selective for the analysis of

Daunorubicin. The method was successfully applied to the estimation of Daunorubicin in

tablet dosage form.

1. DRUG INTRODUCTION

Daunorubicin is a very toxic anthracycline aminoglycoside antineoplastic drug isolated from

Streptomyces peucetius.[1]

It is also known as daunomycin. Daunorubicin was approved for

medical use in the United States in 1979.[2-5] It is on the World Health Organization's List of

Essential Medicines.[1]

Specifically Daunorubicin is used for acute myeloid

leukemia (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), chronic myelogenous leukemia

(CML), and Kaposi's sarcoma. Daunorubicin is a cytotoxic agent, worked on preventing the

cancer cell from reproducing, which results in death of the cancer cell. The mechanism of

action of daunorubicin is as a Topoisomerase Inhibitor. It exhibits cytotoxic activity through

topoisomerase-mediated interaction with DNA, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and repair

and RNA and protein synthesis.[6-12]

Daunorubicin should only be administered in a

rapid intravenous infusion.[13-15] Common side effects with drug include hair loss,

vomiting, bone marrow suppression, and inflammation of the inside of the mouth.[1]

Other

severe side effects include heart disease and tissue death at the site of injection. Use

in pregnancy may harm the baby.Daunorubicin IUPAC name is (7S,9S)-9-acetyl-7-

[(2R,4S,5S,6S)-4-amino-5-hydroxy-6-methyloxan-2-yl]oxy-6,9,11-trihydroxy-4-methoxy-

8,10-dihydro-7H-tetracene-5,12-dione,having molecular formula C27H29NO10 and molecular

weight 527.52 g/mol,structure is shown in figure-1.

analytical methods reported for analysis. Hence there is no stability indicating method was

reported with Daunorubicin, the present study was aimed for development and validation of

stability indicating RP-HPLC for Daunorubicin as well as formulation analysis.

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS

Chemicals

The reagents used in this work were methanol (HPLC grade- Lichrosolv), Acetonitrile

(HPLC grade- Lichrosolv), which were procured from Merck, India. The standard drug

Daunorubicin was obtained as gift sample from Chandra Bhagat Pharma Pvt Ltd, Mumbai.

The formulation injections of Daunorubicin (DAUNOTEC©

– 20mg) were purchased from

local pharmacy and the membrane filter was procured from Merck Milli Pour, India.

Equipment

Chromatography was performed using PEAK LC 7000 isocratic HPLC with PEAK 7000

delivery system, Rheodyne manual sample injector with switch (77251), Analytical column

Kromasil C18 column (250 X 4.6 mm, 5μ), Electronic balance-DENVER (SI234), manual

Rheodyne injector with a 20 μl loop was used for the injection of sample. PEAK LC software

was employed. UV 2301 Spectrophotometer was used to determine the wavelength of

maximum absorbance.

Chromatographic conditions

A number of HPLC systems were investigated to optimize the separation of Daunorubicin.

Separation was performed on a Kromasil C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm i.d., 5 µm; at

ambient temperature. The mobile phase consisted of 750mL of HPLC grade methanol and

250mL of Acetonitrile of HPLC grade. The mobile phase was sonicated for 10 min and

filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane filter. The mobile phase flow rate was maintained at

1.0mL/min and eluents were monitored at 228nm. The samples were injected using a 20μL

fixed loop. All determinations were performed at ambient temperature for a run time of 10

min. The optimized chromatographic conditions are shown in Table 1.

Method development

Selection of mobile phase

Various mobile phases containing methanol, water, acetonitrile, and glacial acetic acid in

different ratios were tried with different flow rates. Good symmetrical peak was found with

the mobile phase comprising methanol and Acetonitrile in the ratio 75:25 (v/v).

1161

Preparation of standard stock solutions

The standard stock solutions of 100 μg/mL of the drug were prepared by dissolving 50 mg of

pure drug in the mobile phase in a 50 mL volumetric flask and the volume was made up to

the mark. Resulting solutions were further diluted with mobile phase to obtain a final

concentration of 100μg/mL and stored under refrigeration.

Preparation of calibration curve

Aliquots of standard stock solutions were put in a 10 mL volumetric flask and diluted up to

the mark with mobile phase. In such a way, the final concentrations of the drug were in the

range of 5–30μg/mL. Triplicate injections of 20 μL were made and analyzed by

chromatograph under the conditions as described above. Evaluation of the drug was

performed and peak areas were recorded. Calibration curves were constructed by plotting the

peak area on the y-axis against respective concentration of the drug on the x-axis. The

calibration curve was evaluated by its coefficient of determination.

Method validation

The developed method was validated by evaluating linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness,

ruggedness, detection limit, quantification limit and stability. Coefficients of variation and

relative errors of less than 2% were considered acceptable, except for the quantification limit,

for which these values were established at 2%, as recommended in the literature.

Linearity

A stock solution of Daunorubicin of 1000 μg/mL was prepared with mobile phase. From it,

various working standard solutions were prepared in the range of 5 to 100μg/mL and injected

into HPLC. It was shown that the selected drug had linearity in the range of 5–30 μg/mL. The

calibration plot (peak area of Daunorubicin versus concentration) was generated by replicate

analysis (n=9) at all concentration levels and the linear relationship was evaluated using the

least square method within Microsoft Excel® program.

Accuracy

The accuracy of the method was carried out using one set of different standard addition

methods at different concentration levels, 50%, 100% and 150%, and then comparing the

difference between the spiked value (theoretical value) and actual found value.

www.wjpr.net Vol 6, Issue 7, 2017.

1162

Precision

The precision of the method was ascertained from the peak area obtained by actual

determination of six replicates of a fixed amount of the drug (15μg/mL). The precision of the

assay was also determined in terms of intra- and inter-day variation in the peak areas of a set

of drug solutions on three different days. The intra- and inter-day variation in the peak area of

the drug solution was calculated in terms of relative standard deviation (RSD).

Robustness

Robustness of the proposed method for Daunorubicin was carried out by the slight variation

in detector wavelength, pH and mobile phase ratio. The percentage change in each changed

condition was noted for Daunorubicin.

Ruggedness

The test solutions were prepared as per test method and injected under variable conditions.

Ruggedness of the method was studied by different analysts.

Detection limit and quantification limit

The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were established based on the

calibration curve parameters, according to the following formulas:

LOD=3.3SD/slope

LOQ=10SD/slope

or detection limit=3.3σ/s, quantification limit=10σ/s, where σ is the standard deviation of y-

intercept of regression line, and s is the slope of the calibration curve.

Forced degradation studies

The specificity of the method can be demonstrated through forced degradation studies

conducted on the sample using acid, alkaline, oxidative, thermal, photolytic, and ultra violet

(UV) degradations. The sample was exposed to these conditions, and the main peak was

studied for the peak purity, thus indicating that the method effectively separated the

degradation products from the pure active ingredient.

Hydrolytic degradation

Hydrolytic stress testing was performed to force the degradation of the drug substance to its

primary degradation products by exposure to neutral, acidic and basic conditions over time.

Functional groups likely to undergo hydrolysis are amides (lactams), esters (lactones),

1163

carbamates imides, imines, alcohols (epimerization for chiral center) and aryl amines.

Standard drug solution was prepared in aqueous, acidic (0.1N HCl) and basic (0.1N NaOH)

solutions. After the exposure time, the solution was neutralized and was diluted to get sample

concentration of 15μg/mL. The solution was analyzed in the optimized condition and the

degradation behavior was determined by comparing linear calibration curve results.

Oxidative degradation

Oxidative degradation of drug substances in pharmaceutical formulation is well documented.

Although exact mechanistic details about what promotes reaction between drug substance

and molecular oxygen in pharmaceutical formulations are not fully understood, such

reactions are generally thought to be in the category of auto-oxidation process. 3% Hydrogen

Peroxide solution was used for oxidative degradation study.

Photolytic degradation

For photolytic degradation, the drug was exposed to the direct sunlight and UV Light.

Sufficient amount of the drug was taken in a closed petri-dish and exposed to UV and

sunlight. After the exposing the drug to those stress condition the drug was taken out, diluted

appropriately and injected into HPLC to determine the amount of degradation of the drug.

Thermal degradation

To evaluate thermolytic pathways, evaluated temperature (80 °C) in the solid state and/or in

solution can be used. Many compounds began to degrade via different mechanisms above

80 °C, giving rise to degradation products. To solid-state stressing, the use of high and low

humidity atmosphere of the evaluated temperatures is appropriate. To evaluate stability under

the temperature the sample kept in a Petri dish and keep in oven at 80°C up to 24hours. After

expose of the samples and prepare sample solution and inject once. Evaluate the

degradedness in chromatogram and compare to Initial values.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

Method Validation

Validation of a stability-indicating analytical method should demonstrate the capability of the

method for the quantitation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the determination of

possible degradation products without any interference. To obtain the best chromatographic

conditions, the mobile phase was optimized to provide sufficient selectivity and sensitivity in

a short separation time.

Specificity

Specificity is the ability to accurately and specifically measure the analyte of interest in the

presence of other components that may be expected to be present in the sample matrix. It is a

measure of the degree of interference from other active ingredients, excipients, impurities,

and degradation products. Specificity in a method ensures that a peak response is due to a

single component only. In the present study, the ability of the method to separate the drug

from its degradation products and the non-interference of the excipients indicate the

specificity of the method. Values of peak purity index were higher than 0.9999. These results

indicated that the proposed method is specific and stability-indicating, and can be applied for

stability studies and QC analysis of Daunorubicin in pharmaceutical products, with

advantages when compared to the previously published methods.

Calibration curve

The coefficient of determination (R2), slope and intercept for Daunorubicin were 0.999,

15819 and -3993, respectively. The retention time for Daunorubicin was 4.59min. HPLC

chromatogram of Daunorubicin at 228nm and calibration curve is shown in Fig. 4. Linearity

results were given in table 2.

Precision

The precision, evaluated as the repeatability of the method, was studied by calculating the

RSD for six determinations of the 15µg/mL sample of Daunorubicin performed on the same

day and under the same experimental conditions. The obtained RSD value was 0.71%. The

RSD values for repeatability study was found to be <1%, which indicate that the proposed

method is repeatable. Among analysts precision was determined by analyzing 15µg/mL

sample of Daunorubicin performed on the same day and under the same experimental

conditions. The obtained RSD value was 0.48%. The RSD values for repeatability study was

found to be <1%, which indicate that the proposed method is re-producible.

were obtained in a range of 98.04–100.67% for Daunorubicin using the proposed HPLC

method. (Table 4) The high values indicate that the proposed HPLC method is accurate.

Limit of detection and limit of quantification

The LOD and LOQ were determined from slopes of linear regression curves. The limit of

detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for Daunorubicin were found to be 0.13

and 1.00µg/mL, respectively. LOD and LOQ data show that Daunorubicin can be accurately

determined in the microgram quantity.

Robustness

Robustness of the method was studied by deliberate variations of the analytical parameters

such as detector wavelength, mobile phase ratio and different pH values. The results are

given in Tables 5. The % change was found to be less than 2% in all the changed condition.

drug was kept in 0.1 M HCl up to 24 h. Daunorubicin upon alkaline degradation in 0.1 M

NaOH at 80 °C up to 24 h underwent degradation showing degradation peak at 5.37 and

5.89min in the chromatogram. The peak area of the drug showed that the percentage

degradation is 5.94% in the above condition. The degradation results of Daunorubicin were

given in table 6. The degradation chromatograms was given in figure 5-10 for Acidic, Base,

4. CONCLUSION

This study is a typical example of the development of a stability-indicating assay following

ICH guidelines. The results of stress testing are undertaken according to the ICH guidelines

which reveal that the method is specific and stability-indicating. Based on the peak purity

results obtained from the analysis of forced degradation samples using the described method,

it can be concluded that there is no other co-eluting peak with the main peaks, and the method

is specific for the determination of Daunorubicin in the presence of degradation products.

A simple and rapid isocratic stability-indicating RP-HPLC method has been developed and

validated for the determination of Daunorubicin in tablet dosage form. The results of the

validation studies show that the RP-HPLC method is sensitive, accurate, specific, and

stability-indicating. It possesses significant linearity (r2 = 0.999), precision with a mean RSD

of <0.1%, high efficiency and resolution, and no interference from the excipients or

degradation products, as was demonstrated. The proposed method was successfully applied

and is suggested for the quantitative analysis of Daunorubicin in pharmaceutical formulations

for QC, where economy and time are essential and to assure therapeutic efficacy.
