10 and 20mg Fluoxetine Capsules HPLC Determination
BACKGROUND
Therapeutically, Fluoxetine hydrochloride is a classified as a selective serotonin-reuptakeinhibitor. Effectively used for the treatment of various depressions. Fluoxetine hydrochloridehas been shown to have comparable efficacy to tricyclic antidepressants but with feweranticholinergic side effects. The patent expiry becomes effective in 2001 (US). INTRODUCTION
Fluoxetine capsules were prepared in two dosage strengths: 10mg and 20mg dosagestrengths with the same capsule weight. The formulas are essentially similar andgeometrically equivalent with the same ingredients and proportions. Minor changes in non-active proportions account for the change in active ingredient amounts from the 10 and 20mg strength.
The following validation, for the method SI-IAG-206-02 , includes assay and determinationof Meta-Fluoxetine by HPLC, is based on the analytical method validation SI-IAG-209-06.
Currently the method is the in-house method performed for Stability Studies. The Validationwas performed on the 20mg dosage samples, IAG-21-001 and IAG-21-002.
In the forced degradation studies, the two placebo samples were also used. PRECISION SYSTEM REPEATABILITY
Five replicate injections of the standard solution at the concentration of0.4242mg/mL as described in method SI-IAG-206-02 were made and the relativestandard deviation (RSD) of the peak areas was calculated.

VALIDATION FOR META-FLUOXETINE HCl
Meta-Fluoxetine HCl linearity at 0.05% - 1.0%
Relative response factor for Meta-Fluoxetine HCl was determined as slope ofFluoxetine HCl divided by the slope of Meta-Fluoxetine HCl from the linearity graphs(analysed at the same time). Detection Limit (DL) for Fluoxetine HCl
The detection limit (DL) was established by determining the minimum level at whichthe analyte was reliably detected.
Detection limit for Meta Fluoxetine HCl is about 0.02%. Quantitation Limit (QL) for Meta-Fluoxetine HCl
The QL is determined by the analysis of samples with known concentration of Meta-Fluoxetine HCl and by establishing the minimum level at which the Meta-FluoxetineHCl can be quantified with acceptable accuracy and precision.
Six individual preparations of standard and placebo spiked with Meta-Fluoxetine HClsolution to give solution with 0.05% of Meta Fluoxetine HCl, were injected into theHPLC and the recovery was calculated.

SPECIFICITY - STABILITY INDICATING EVALUATION
Demonstration of the Stability Indicating parameters of the HPLC assay method [SI- IAG-206-02] for Fluoxetine 10 & 20mg capsules, a suitable photo-diode array detector was incorporated utilizing a commercial chromatography software managing system2, and applied to analyze a range of stressed samples of the finished drug product.
GLOSSARY of PEAK PURITY RESULT NOTATION (as reported2): Purity Angle
is a measure of spectral non-homogeneity across a peak, i.e. the
weighed average of all spectral contrast angles calculated by comparing all spectra in theintegrated peak against the peak apex spectrum. Purity Threshold
is the sum of noise angle3 and solvent angle4. It is the limit of
detection of shape differences between two spectra. Match Angle
is a comparison of the spectrum at the peak apex against a library
Match Threshold
is the sum of the match noise angle3 and match solvent angle4. 3Noise Angle
is a measure of spectral non-homogeneity caused by system noise. 4Solvent Angle
is a measure of spectral non-homogeneity caused by solvent
OVERVIEW The assay of the main peak in each stressed solution is calculated according to the assay method SI-IAG-206-02, against the Standard Solution, injected on the same day. If the Purity Angle is smaller than the Purity Threshold and the Match Angle is smaller than the Match Threshold, no significant differences between spectra can be detected. As a result no spectroscopic evidence for co-elution is evident and the peak is considered to be pure. The stressed condition study indicated that the Fluoxetine peak is free from any appreciable degradation interference under the stressed conditions tested. Observed degradation products peaks were well separated from the main peak.

SAMPLE SOLUTIONS
Two sample solutions from batch IAG-21-001 (20mg/capsule) were prepared and analyzedas in method. The sample solution was refrigerated for 48 hours and re-analyzed. Preparation Date Analysis Date Average (%) ROBUSTNESS EXTRACTION EFFICIENCY PROFILE
Demonstration of the method's extraction efficiency was achieved using triplicate samplesolutions as described in the HPLC method via the selection of the three extraction times - 5minutes apart - as shown in the table. EXTRACTION EFFICIENCY Sonication Time (min.) Percentage Percentage
The results demonstrated that an extraction time of 10 minutes by sonication is suitable toensure a complete extraction of the active material. ED. N0: 04 Effective Date: APPROVED: Ed.

ROBUSTNESS - (Cont.) SPECIFICATION - FACTORIAL DESIGN
The HPLC condition as performed in the analytical method SI-IAG-206-02 are as follows:
: Shandon, Hypersil BDS C-8, 5µ, 150×4.6mm Mobile phase : Solution A: solution B (55 : 45) : Triethylamine buffer*: acetonitrile: tetrahydrofuran (75:15:10) : Triethylamine buffer*: acetonitrile: tetrahydrofuran (65:20:15) Flow rate : 1.4 - 1.6mL/min Temperature : 30°C (±2°C) Injection volume Detector : UV detector λ = 227nm, Flow Cell = 10mm. : SOLUTION B
The factorial design variations were performed on the above set of specifications. Changes were made to the following parameters, using the system suitability parameters. n percentage eluent composition n flow rate parameters n column temperature n column [tpe/make] Incident Flow Rate HPLC COLUMN TYPE (mL/min.)
