Introduction

Analytical chemistry deals with method of determining the chemical composition of sample. It is primarily concerned about determining the qualitative and quantitative composition of material. A qualitative method yields information about the identity of atomic or molecular species or functional group in the sample. A quantitative method in contrast provides numerical information as to the relative amount of one or more of these components. It is a scientific discipline used to study the chemical composition, structure and behavior of matter. The term chemical analysis may be defined as the application of a process or series of process to identify or quantify a substance, the component of a solution or mixture or the structure of chemical compounds. The purpose of chemical analysis is to gather and interpret chemical information that will be of value to society in wide range of contexts. It is involved in all the stages related to a drug, from its discovery, development, action, safety, formulation, use, quality control, packaging, storage, marketing etc. Any drug or dosage form for human use must have excellent quality and purity, free from impurities. This dosage form directly affects the human life and behavior so their analysis is important which is carried out using analytical methods. Analytical method development is the heart of analytical chemistry. It involves development and validation of new analytical method for the purpose of testing samples. Sample testing is done by using UV, IR, HPLC, HPTLC, GC-MS, and LC-MS etc. Analytical chemistry has since long, occupied an important in the development of science and technology. It is very broad and embraces a wide range of natural, chemical and instrumental technique and procedure [1].

Chromatographic Technique

Chromatography was invented and named by Russian botanist MikhaiTswett. Chromatography according to USP can be defined as a procedure by which solutes are separated by a differential migration process in a system consisting of two or more phases, one of which moves continuously in a given direction and in which the individual substances exhibit different mobilities by reason of differences in adsorption, partition, solubility, vapor pressure, molecular size, or ionic charge density (Figure 1). One of the phases is a fixed bed of large surface area, whereas the other is a fluid that moves through or over the surface of the fixed phase [2].

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is the most versatile and widely used analytical technique. It utilizes a liquid mobile phase to separate the components of mixture. These components (or analytes) are first dissolved in a solvent, and then forced to flow through a Chromatographic column under high pressure. In the column, the mixture is resolved into its components. The interaction of solute with mobile and stationary phases can be manipulated through different choices of both solvent and stationary phases. As a result, HPLC acquires a high degree of versatility not found in other chromatographic systems and it has the ability to separate a wide variety of chemical mixtures. HPLC uses high pressure to force solvent through closed columns containing very fine particles that gives high resolution separations. The technique is used to separate and determine species in a variety of organic, inorganic, and biological materials. HPLC is used either in the liquid-solid adsorption chromatography mode or the liquid-liquid partition chromatography mode, either normal or reversed phase. Both partition and adsorption chromatography operates on differences in solute polarity since polarity is important in determining both adsorption and solubility. As a general rule, highly polar materials are best separated using partition chromatography, while very non polar are separated using adsorption chromatography [2-4].

Types of HPLC

• Normal phase HPLC

• Reversed phase HPLC

Carbimazole is an aitithyroid agent that decreases the uptake and concentration of inorganic iodine by thyroid, it also reduces the formation of di-iodotyrosine and thyroxine. Once converted to its active form of methimazole, it prevents the thyroid peroxidase enzyme from coupling and iodinating the tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin, hence reducing the production of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 [5,6].

Pharmaceutical grade carbimazole was supplied by Taj mahal chemicals ,India and used without further purification. All the chemicals used are of HPLC and AR grade. Chemicals used are as Methanol (SDFC Chem lab), 0.05% buffer TEAwith OPA water PH3 (Research chem lab) and the carbon dioxide free double distilled water for HPLC purpose.

Instruments

FTIR madefrom Bruker having software OPUS 7.5, U.V.-Visible double beam spectrophotometer Shimadzu (UV 1800) is used for the analysis. The HPLC system consisted of a pump is GRADIENT PUMP and the column used are (Cosmosoil) C18 Column (4.6mm × 250mm) for the validation studies. The ultrasonicator (model- ICO 900/2000) I used [7-9].

Conclusion

Simple, rapid, accurate and precise RP-HPLC have been developed and validated for the routine analysis of carbimazole in API and tablet dosage forms. Both methods are suitable for the simultaneous determination of carbimazole in Single-component formulations without interference of each other. The developed methods are recommended for routine and quality control analysis of the investigated drugs in two component pharmaceutical preparations. The amount found from the proposed methods was in good agreement with the label claim of the formulation. Also the value of standard deviation and coefficient of variation calculated were satisfactorily low, indicating the suitability of the proposed methods for the routine estimation of tablet dosage forms .
