DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF IR SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD FOR ESTIMATION OF AZELASTINE HYDROCHLORIDE IN NASAL SPRAY PREPARATIONS

A simple, sensitive, rapid, accurate, precise and economical Fouriertransform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of Azelastine Hydrochloride (AZH)   in nasal spray preparations. The IR spectrophotometric method was based on the determination of AZH by the measurement of the area of the infrared band corresponding to the carbonyl group centred at the band1636 cm^-1. It was present in the AZH but not in Acetonitrile used as solvent and highest intensity was at the area 1701.08-1584.21 cm^-1. The linearity of AZH was obtained in the concentration range of 5-100 μg/ml. The mean % recovery was 99.67 ± 0.57 %. The recovery studies confirmed accuracy of proposed method and low values of standard deviation confirmed precision of method.

A VISIT ON PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIAL ORIENTATION

A pharmaceutical formulation and its research invasis play important role in the young generation of the pharmacy students because without seeing the process we don’t know about the formulation and development of any medicine because of that a industrial visit should be compulsory to the pharmacy students. Pharmaceutical industry is a most diverse, R&D oriented, hypercompetitive and knowledge sensitive industry. Competitive intelligence (CI) is a process of ethically and systemic data gathering from operating system to draw important business conclusions. Use of CI for drawing important conclusions regarding present scenario and future forecasting is very important and growth determining practice of pharmaceutical industries. Intellectual property rights (IPR) is an integral part of the industry and IPR related information is freely available in public patent databases. By analyzing patents company can derive important conclusion regarding competitor’s R&D activities, quality of research, collaboration and alliance and can convert this information to knowledge which can play important role in taking future decisions. Present review is fully focused on advent of IPR in getting very good information regarding competitor’s strategies and tactics.
