Analytical method development and validation of novel Levofloxacin, Prulifloxacin, Gatifloxacin, Sparfloxacin, Moxifloxacin and Balofloxacin fluoroquinolone antibacterials in pharmaceutical dosage forms by RP-HPLC
For the first time simple, selective, sensitive RP-HPLC method was developed for the separation and quantitative development of LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO relating to fluoroquinolone anti bacterials in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The most important advantage of developed method was that the 6 separate drugs can be determined on a single chromatographic system without modifications in detection wavelength and mobile phase by RP-HPLC. The chromatographic separation of the selected drugs was carried out on Welchrom C18 column consisting of 250 mm X 4.6 mm, 5 µm particle size utilizing mixture of 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3.1): Acetonitrile in the ratio of 70:30,v/v as mobile phase at the flow rate of 1mL/min with detection wave length at 293 nm by using UV spectrophotometric detector with total run time of 10 minutes and 3.613, 4.230, 4.707, 5.497, 5.880 and 6.253 minutes of retention time obtained for LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO respectively. All calibration curves for six drugs showed indicated linearity over a concentration range of 2-10 µg/mL. The results regarding to limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) for LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO were found to be 0.116 µg/mL and 0.348 µg/mL; 0.152 µg/mL and 0.460 µg/mL; 0.084 µg/mL and 0.255 µg/mL; 0.186 µg/mL and 0.558 µg/mL, 0.162 and 0.493, 0.112 and 0.390 respectively. These results clearly show low values of LOD and LOQ. The said developed method was ultimately utilized for quantification of marketed formulation.

Finally, one of the best ways of reducing cancer is …..
Cancer prevention is an essential component of all cancer control plans because about 40 % of cancers are preventable.
Firstly…Public education campaigns are important in highlighting the dangers of smoking because possibly as many as 22 % (in the UK 30%) of cancers are caused by smoking.
Secondly, another 30% of cancers are diet-related. Decades of research have clearly shown that by living a healthy life, people can reduce the risk of developing the disease.
Screening tests help in finding Cancer earlier before developing any symptoms.
The benefits of eating high-fiber foods, fruit, and vegetables.
Epigallocatechin gallate, an antioxidant present in green tea, is another potential protective agent.
Finally, The new research funded by the UK and USA which aims to show the number of cancer cases could be prevented by known lifestyle and environmental factors,
like being a non-smoker, keeping a healthy weight, drinking less alcohol, eating a healthy balanced diet, and avoiding being exposed to certain infections or radiation.
Every country, regardless of resource level, can take steps to curb the cancer epidemic, save lives and prevent unnecessary suffering.
Finally, cancer prevention efforts should be preceded by a systematic planning process on cancer control.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Analytical method development and validation of novel Levofloxacin, Prulifloxacin, Gatifloxacin, Sparfloxacin, Moxifloxacin and Balofloxacin fluoroquinolone antibacterials in pharmaceutical dosage forms by RP-HPLC
1. Analytical method development and validation of novel Levofloxacin, Prulifloxacin, Gatifloxacin,
Sparfloxacin, Moxifloxacin and Balofloxacin fluoroquinolone antibacterials in pharmaceutical
dosage forms by RP-HPLC
Prof. Panchumarthy Ravisankar
Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis and Quality Assurance, Vignan Pharmacy College, Vadlamudi, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India.
For the first time simple, selective, sensitive RP-HPLC method was developed for the separation and
quantitative development of LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO relating to fluoroquinolone
anti bacterials in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The most important advantage of developed method was
that the 6 separate drugs can be determined on a single chromatographic system without modifications in
detection wavelength and mobile phase by RP-HPLC. The chromatographic separation of the selected
drugs was carried out on Welchrom C18 column consisting of 250 mm X 4.6 mm, 5 µm particle size
utilizing mixture of 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3.1): Acetonitrile in the ratio of 70:30,v/v as mobile
phase at the flow rate of 1mL/min with detection wave length at 293 nm by using UV
spectrophotometric detector with total run time of 10 minutes and 3.613, 4.230, 4.707, 5.497, 5.880 and
6.253 minutes of retention time obtained for LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO
respectively. All calibration curves for six drugs showed indicated linearity over a concentration range of
2-10 µg/mL. The results regarding to limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) for
LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO were found to be 0.116 µg/mL and 0.348 µg/mL; 0.152
µg/mL and 0.460 µg/mL; 0.084 µg/mL and 0.255 µg/mL; 0.186 µg/mL and 0.558 µg/mL, 0.162 and
0.493, 0.112 and 0.390 respectively. These results clearly show low values of LOD and LOQ. The said
developed method was ultimately utilized for quantification of marketed formulation.
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are vital class of synthetic anti-bacterial extensively used in anti-infective
chemotherapy owing to their highly remarkable broad spectrum activity. The third and fourth generation
FQs such as Levofloxacin (LEVO), Prulifloxacin (PRFX), Gatifloxacin (GATI), Sparfloxacin (SPAR),
Moxifloxacin (MOXI) and Balofloxacin (BALO) has numerous advantages over the earlier ones.
A novel single method for quantification of all the above said drugs to be resolved and estimated on
single chromatographic system without any minor changes in detection wavelength and mobile phase
composition is direly needed. However, Various detailed surveys on the literature related that one RP -
HPLC method so far have been reported in this regard but the method available hitherto are poorly
validated, uneconomical and consume longer runtimes. Keeping in view the complete evaluation the
author developed a novel RP - HPLC method which is considered to be accurate, simple, precise, rapid
with shorter runtime as well as economical for the separation and estimation of the above said
fluoroquinolones in tablet dosage forms.
To develop rapid, sensitive and economical analytical method based on HPLC for separation and
estimation of six fluoroquinolones in pharmaceutical dosage forms.
The chromatographic separation of the selected drugs was carried out on Welchrom C18 column
consisting of 250 mm X 4.6 mm, 5 µm particle size utilizing mixture of 10mM phosphate buffer (pH
3.1): Acetonitrile in the ratio of 70:30,v/v as mobile phase at the flow rate of 1mL/min with detection
wave length at 293 nm (Fig.1) by using UV spectrophotometric detector with total run time of 10 min.
Table 1 shows the optimized chromatographic conditions and system suitability parameters.
20 tablets of LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO were taken separately for analysis and
transferred into a mortar and grounded in smooth powder. The said powder of each drug equivalent to one
tablet weight was taken, out of the said powder of 20 tablets of each drug and then transferred to
volumetric flask consisting of the mobile phase. The volume was then made up to the mark with the
diluents and filtered through 0.45 µm nylon filters. There after the dilution was prepared based on the
required concentrations of the each drug and kept for quantifications of all drugs from their calibration
plots. The assay was carried out six times and the amount of the drug exist in each tablet of relevant drug
was estimated from calibration graph.
Separation of LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO in synthetic mixture is shown in Fig 2.
All calibration curves for six drugs indicated linearity over a concentration range of 2-10 µg/mL. The
concerned correlation coefficient were also calculated from the linear regression analysis and found at
0.9999. The proposed method found to be specific for the 6 fluoroquinolones and there is no
interference due to the commonly used excipients. Precision of the method was decided by using intra-
day and inter-day precision studies. The % RSD for all six drugs showed less than 2 % which clearly
indicates that the present method is said to be highly precise. Regarding accuracy of the proposed
method found to be good with the overall mean % recovery of all 6 drugs around 100 %. RSD were
also found to be less than 2% for all six drugs shows that the method is totally accurate. The results
pertaining to limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) for LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR,
MOXI and BALO are shown in Table 2. These results show very good sensitivity of the developed
method. By applying this method the mean assay values for LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and
BALO were arrived at 99.317±0.990%, 99.9±0.04%, 99.9±0.02%, 99.45±0.01%, 99.945±0.056% and
99.68±0.09% respectively. Table 2 shows the summary of validation parameters of all six
fluoroquinolones. System suitability parameters were very satisfactory. The proposed method found to
be robust and rugged. All the parameters were within the acceptable limits with an overall % RSD of
0.41.

highly useful for evaluation of product quality in the form of tablets. This method enables to detect
cross contamination of the said products. The method may find wider applications in therapeutic drug
monitoring and in forensic analysis. As selectivity found to be lacking in respect of microbiological,
fluorimetric as well as paper chromatographic analysis the author opted to RP-HPLC method and
gained optimum results. Statistical analysis lucidly proves that this method was very fast, precise,
accurate sensitive, highly efficient and suitable than the existing methods so far in existence and
utilized. Therefore this method invented by the author is aptly feasible for regular analysis of six
fluoroquinolones individually in quality control laboratories.
