Abstract

Automated Visual Inspection System (AVIS) have a strong ability for quality control in manufacturing industries by inspecting products automatically instead of manual inspections. This paper gives methods for bottle inspection in manufacturing industries. The paper describes mechanism for the defect detection, top and bottom detection, cap placement and fill level inspection. For empty bottle inspection the image is processed by contrast enhancement and then circular Hough transform is used. The location and radius of top and bottom of bottle is analyzed. After filling the bottle with liquid and placing the cap, edge detection method is used which is followed by horizontal line detection to identify whether fill level and cap closure is appropriate or not. Presented bottle inspection system works with 100% accuracy in proper illumination condition.

Abstract

The proposed study describes an isocratic reversed phase HPLC method for investigation of degradation products of Olmesartan medoxomil API under different stress conditions (acid hydrolysis degradation). Separation of Olmesartan medoxomil and its degradation products was achieved on symmetry C₁₈ (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μ) column using a Acetonitrile: 0.02 M Na₂HPO₄(45:55 v/v) mobile phase and pH 7 adjusted with ortho phosphoric acid. Isocratic elution mode at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min at Room temperature with a load of 20μl Injection volume. The detection was carried out at 240 nm followed by Base hydrolysis Structures of the degradation products were studied using a Triple Quadrapole Mass Spectrometer. A separate gradient LCMS method was developed for this purpose Depending on the degradation type, possible chemical reactions were predicted and supported by fragmentation data obtained from LC-MS/NMR. One major products were obtained in solid form using Rotavap and were then analyzed by NMR, IR and TLC to confirm their structural details.

Abstract

An approach of forced degradation study was successfully applied for the development of a stability-indicating high performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of Olmesartan medoxomil and Indapamide in a formulation in the presence of its degradation products. In the present study a simple, accurate and precise reverse phase liquid chromatographic method has been developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of Olmesartan medoxomil and Indapamide in tablet dosage form. Developed Method was achieved on symmetry C₁₈ (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μ) column using a Acetonitrile: 0.02 M Na₂HPO₄ (45:55 v/v) mobile phase and pH 7 adjusted with ortho phosphoric acid. Isocratic elution mode at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min at Room temperature with a load of 20μl Injection volume. The detection was carried out at 240 nm. The linearity of the proposed method was investigated in the range of 50-250 microg/mL (r² = 0.998) for Olmesartan medoxomil and 10-50 microg/mL (r² = 0.998) for Indapamide. The retention time of Olmesartan medoxomil and Indapamide were found to be around 4.79 min and 7.59 min respectively. The drug substances were subjected to stress conditions of acid hydrolysis, base hydrolysis, Oxidative, photolytic and thermal. The developed RP-HPLC method was validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, LOD and LOQ.

Abstract

An approach of forced degradation study was successfully applied for the development of a stability-indicating high performance liquid chromatographic method for Indapamide in the presence of its degradation products. In the present study a simple, accurate and precise reverse phase liquid chromatographic method has been developed of Olmesartan Indapamide in bulk. Developed Method was achieved on symmetry C18 (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μ) column using a Acetonitrile: 0.02 M Na2HPO4(45:55 v/v) mobile phase and pH 7 adjusted with ortho phosphoric acid. Isocratic elution mode at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min at Room temperature with a load of 20μl Injection volume. The detection was carried out at 240 nm. The linearity of the proposed method was investigated in the range of 10-50 microg/mL (r2 = 0.998) for Indapamide.

Abstract

Ondansetron is an antiemetic drug that belongs to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT₃) receptor antagonists group. It has been widely used to treat nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, post surgery or due to any other gastrointestinal problem with 5-HT₃ receptors involvement. The typical adverse drug reactions of Ondansetron include headache, dizziness, constipation or diarrhoea. Here, we have observed the skin reaction around the site of injection following Ondansetron administration. Recognition of this hypersensitivity reaction may allow better preparedness of clinicians to manage this condition.

Keywords
