Synthesis of 1-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-methylene-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one derivatives and in vitro anticancer evaluation against SW620 colon cancer cell line

A small library of 2-indolinone derivatives with the 2,6-dichlorophenyl ring at the N(1) position and with varying substitutions including aryl groups at the 3-position were synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by spectral analysis. All molecules were screened for their in vitro cytotoxic activity on SW620 colon cancer cell lines. Among the designed series compounds 4c, 4f and 4j were found to be active at concentrations of 2-15 microg/ml. Some 3D-QSAR models were also built to understand the structure-activity relationship.

Method Development and Validation of a Stability-Indicating RP-HPLC Method for the Quantitative Analysis of Dronedarone Hydrochloride in Pharmaceutical Tablets

A simple, precise, and accurate HPLC method has been developed and validated for the quantitative analysis of Dronedarone Hydrochloride in tablet form. An isocratic separation was achieved using a Waters Symmetry C8 (100 × 4.6 mm), 5 μm particle size column with a flow rate of 1 ml/min and UV detector at 290 nm. The mobile phase consisted of buffer: methanol (40:60 v/v) (buffer: 50 mM KH2PO4 + 1 ml triethylamine in 1 liter water, pH=2.5 adjusted with ortho-phosphoric acid). The method was validated for specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, and solution stability. The specificity of the method was determined by assessing interference from the placebo and by stress testing the drug (forced degradation). The method was linear over the concentration range 20–80 μg/ml (r2 = 0.999) with a Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) of 0.1 and 0.3 μg/ml respectively. The accuracy of the method was between 99.2–100.5%. The method was found to be robust and suitable for the quantitative analysis of Dronedarone Hydrochloride in a tablet formulation. Degradation products resulting from the stress studies did not interfere with the detection of Dronedarone Hydrochloride so the assay is thus stability-indicating.

A Stability Indicating UPLC Method for the Determination of Levofloxacin Hemihydrate in Pharmaceutical Dosage Form: Application to Pharmaceutical Analysis

A reliable and sensitive isocratic stability indicating RP-UPLC method has been developed and validated for quantitative analysis and content uniformity study of levofloxacin hemihydrate in tablets. An isocratic method for analysis of levofloxacin hemihydrate was archived on ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 (100*2.1) mm particle size 1.7  columns within shorter runtime of 4 min with a flow rate of 0.400 mL/min and using a photodiode array detector to monitor the eluate at 294 nm. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-buffer (23 : 77 v/v), (buffer: 20 mM K2HPO4

Fast Stability Indicating UPLC Method for Quantitative Analysis of Dronedarone in Pharmaceutical Dosage Form: Force Degradation Study

A simple, precise, rapid reproducible, selective, and stability indicating reverse phase UPLC method has been developed for the estimation of dronedarone in pharmaceutical dosage form. Estimation of dronedarone hydrochloride was achieved on Acquity BEH C18 () 1.7 μm column using buffer [20 mM KH2PO4

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a novel substituted 1,4-dihydropyridine

The title compound, C15H16N2O3, was synthesized, characterized spectroscopically, and finally confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with cell parameters a = 10.314(9) Å, b = 17.976(15) Å, c = 12.762(11) Å, β = 113.331(3)°, Z = 4, and V = 2173(3) Å3. The dihydropyridine ring in the structure is in a flattened-boat conformation. The 2-nitrophenyl ring is orthogonal to the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring. The structure exhibits an intermolecular hydrogen bond of the type C–H…O.
