What is it about?

A systematic design-of-experiments was performed by applying quality-by-design concepts to determine design space for rapid quantification of teriflunomide by the ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method in the presence of degradation products. Response surface and central composite quadratic were used for statistical evaluation of experimental data using a Design-Expert software. The recovery values were found in the range of 100.1–101.7%. The method was validated according to ICH guidelines.

Why is it important?

Due to the shorter run time of 1 min, this method provides faster analysis, more work throughput, and reduces the cost of analysis due to the reduction in solvent consumption.

Perspectives

The UPLC method was developed based on QbD concepts for rapid quantification of teriflunomide in pharmaceutical drug products. The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines. The method was found to be simple, selective, accurate, precise, and robust. The developed method was stability indicating as it was showing no interference of degradation products and placebo at the retention time of teriflunomide. Due to the shorter run time of 1 min, this method provides faster analysis, more work throughput, and reduces the cost of analysis due to the reduction in solvent consumption. The method can be used for in-vitro dissolution analysis. Therefore, the developed method can be used for routine assay and in-vitro dissolution analysis of quality control samples and stability samples of bulk and finished pharmaceutical dosage form.
