Development and Validation of a Stability-Indicating RP-HPLC Method for Simultaneous Estimation of Teneligliptin and Dapagliflozin: Forced Degradation, LC-MS/MS Characterization, and Shelf-Life Prediction
Main Article Content
Abstract
Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was established for concurrent quantification of Teneligliptin hydrobromide hydrate (TEN) and Dapagliflozin propanediol monohydrate (DAPA) in bulk drug substances and their fixed-dose combination tablets. Critical process parameters such as mobile phase composition, pH, and flow rate were systematically varied through design of experiments to optimize resolution and peak symmetry, yielding retention times of 3.12 min (TEN) and 5.34 min (DAPA) at 245 nm detection. Comprehensive validation adhered to ICH Q2(R1) criteria, demonstrating linearity across 5–50 μg/mL, precision with relative standard deviation (RSD) below 1.3%, accuracy within 99–101% recovery, and robust separation of degradation products in stress studies, further characterized by LC-MS/MS for structural confirmation.
