| Abstract: |
Recently, significant focus has been placed on the development of suitable stability-indicating studies in phar
maceutical analysis. A comprehensive eco-friendly stability-indicating RP-HPLC method has been developed and
validated for the determination of piracetam and vincamine in hard gelatin capsule dosage forms. Both com
ponents were subjected to various stresses, following the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH)
guidelines. Piracetam, vincamine, and their breakdown products were successfully separated using the isocratic
elution technique, and both medicinal compounds’ quantification was carried out on the Kromasil C
column at
room temperature. The mobile phase consists of 0.05 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer pH 3.5:ethanol
absolute (60:40, by volume), at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. Detection was implemented at 220 nm, considering the
concentration levels of 80–550 and 4.0–28
18
μ
g/ml for piracetam and vincamine, respectively. The total analysis
time was <5 min, establishing this mentioned chromatographic method as proper for regular quality control
evaluations of both medications. The inclusion of ethanol absolute was required in order to obtain a sufficient
resolution. Three methods were used to assess the environmental impact: Complementary modified green
Analytical Procedure Index (ComplexMoGAPI), the eco-scale calculator, and the Analytical GREEnness metric
(AGREE). The chromatographic method’s eco-friendly is demonstrated by its final Eco-scale score of 76.5,
AGREE score of 0.66, ComplexMoGAPI E-factor was 42 with five green segments, BAGI score of 82.5, and finally
whiteness score of 97.5. Obviously, the simultaneous method is accurate, precise, ecofriendly, specific, robust,
and rugged. Finally, it can be used successfully for regular quality control analysis of piracetam and vincamine in
both their pure form and hard gelatin capsule dosage forms.
