Method Development and Validation of Clopidogrel Bisulphate by Reverse Phase-...SriramNagarajan15
A new, simple sensitive, rapid, accurate and precise RP-HPLC method was developed for the estimation of Clopidogrel bisulphate in bulk drug and pharmaceutical formulation. Clopidogrel bisulphate was chromatographed on a reverse phase C18column (150 mm x 4.5 mm, i.d 5μm) in a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer (pH: 3.0) in the ratio of 60:40 % v/v. The mobile phase was pumped at a flow rate of 1 ml/min with detection at 224 nm. The detector response was linear in the concentration of 50-150 μg /ml. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation was found to be 1.3 and 4.2 µg/ml, respectively. The intra and inter day variation was found to be less than 2%. The mean recovery of the drug from the solution was 99.79%. The proposed method is simple, fast, accurate, precise and reproducible hence, it can be applied for routine quality control analysis of Clopidogrel bisulphate in bulk drug and pharmaceutical formulation. Key words: Clopidogrel bisulphate, RP-HPLC, Validation, Accuracy, Precision.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

I. QUANTITATIVEANALYSIS
II. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS
15. Quantitative analysis of substance in
Single component sample
The conc of a drug or absorbing substance in a
given sample can be easily analysed by measuring
the absorbance of the solution prepared in a
transparent solvent in a uv spectrophotometer. this
quantitative UV method is applicable to determine
the conc of a single component in the given sample
and to determined the conc of different components
in mixture
15
16. The methods adopted to analyse single
component sample
1. Standard adsorptivity value method
2. Calibration graph/curve method
3. Single or double point standardization
method
16
17. standard absorptivity value method
In this method the conc of the unknown compound can be
determined by using the measured absorbance and standard
absorptivity value
For example if the absorbance of methyl testosterone in
ethanolic solution measured in a 1cm cell at its λmax 241 nm is
found to be 0.890 and the standard absorptivity value at 241
nm is 540 then the conc of methyl testosterone can be
determined by the following equation
A = abc
A - absorbance of the solution =0.890
a - standard absorptivity value = 540
b -pathlength of the sample cell = 1cm
c – conc of the unknown to be determined
0.890 = 540 x 1 x c ; c = A/ab = 0.890/540=0.00165g/100ml 17
18. Calibration graph/ curve method
In this method the absorbance of a number of
standard solutions of the reference substance at
conc encompassing the sample concentrations are
measured and calibration graph is constructed.
calibration data is highly essential if
The absorbance has non linear relationship with
conc
It is necessary to confirm the proportionality of
absorbance as a functions of conc
The absorbance or linearity is dependent on the
assay conditions
18
20. Single or double point stardardization method
The absorbance of a sample solution and a standard solution
of the reference substance will be measured in single point
procedure
The standard and sample solution should be prepared in the
same manner, where the conc of the standard solution should
be close to the sample solution
The conc of the substance in the sample is calculated from
the proportion relationship that exists between absorbance
and conc
C test = A test x C std

std solution
A test , Astd Absorbance of test
and std solution
21. Quantitative analysis of substance in
multicomponent sample
The identification and conc of one or more
components in the sample can be analyzed by
modifying the simple spectrophotometric procedure
adopted in single component sample
The interference of one component by the other
component may arise due to manufacturing
impurities, decomposition product , formulation
excipients will cause unwanted absorption termed
as irrelevant absortion , imparts systematic error in
the assay of the drug
By adopting multicomponent analysis the actual
amount of sample under investigation can be easily
calculated after removing the irrelavant absorption
21
22. The of all multi-component spectrophotometric
analysis is that at all wavelength
The absorbance of a solution is the sum of
absorbance of the individual component
The measured absorbance is the difference
between the total absorbance of the solution in the
sample cell and that of the solution in the reference
cell
The different multi-component analytical method
I. Using absorbance corrected for interference
II. After solvent extraction of the sample
III. Simultaneous equation method
IV. Absorption ratio method
V. Geometric correction method
VI. Orthogonal polynomial method 22
23. Using absorbance corrected for interference
By knowing the absorbing interferon's its conc and its
absorptivity it is possible to calculate its contribution to the
absorbance of the mixture.
Then the conc of the component of our interest can be
calculate from the corrected absorbance ( total absorbance –
interfering absorbance )
Example: determination of conc of epidrine Hcl and
chlorocresol in epidrine Hcl injection
Assay after solvent extraction of the sample
If it is not possible to calculate the contribution of absorbing
interferants to the total absorbance or the interferance from
other absorbing substance is large , then it may be possible to
separate the absorbing interferon's from the analyte by
solvent extraction procedure
This procedure is appropriate for acidic or basic drugs whose
state of ionization determines their solvent partition behaviors
.EX : assay of caffeine in aspirin & caffeine tablet
23
24. Simultaneous equation method
This method is based upon the fact that the total
absorbance of a solution at a given wavelength (λ1
& λ2) is equal to the sum of the absorbances of the
individual components present
Therefore it is possible to analyze individual components
of a mixture even if there is an overlap in the spectra
M N
Absorbance
λ1 λ2 24
25. The individual absorption spectra of
substance M and N showing wavelegth for
the assay of M and N in admixture by the
method of simultaneous equation
The absorption of M at λ1 and λ2 is am1 and
am2
The absorption of N at λ1 and λ2 is an1 and
an2
The absorbance of dilute solution at λ1 and
λ2 is A1 and A2 respectively
The conc M(Cm) and N (Cn) in diluted
sample can be determined by equation
25
26. λ1 A1 = am1 bCm + an1bCn (1)
λ2 A2 = am2bCm + an2bCn (2)
for measure in 1 cm cell b = 1
rearranging equation (2)
Cn = A2 – am2Cm

27. Qualitative analyis
In qualitative analysis , UV spectra is mainly used to
detect the presence of different
chromophores,polynuclear compound and to detect the
extension conjugation
Detection of functional groups
Uv technique is applied to detect the presence or
absence of the chromophore
Uv wavelegth range from 200nm to 400nm,it shows the
absence of conjugation
carbonyl group (aldehydes and ketones )
benzene or aromatic compound
bromo or iodo atoms 27
28. Detection of conjugation :
Two or more carbon – carbon double bond or triple bond
Carbon-carbon double bond, carbon –oxygen double bond
Aromatic ring with double bond
Example of various conjugated chromoporic group
28
chromophore example λmax
CH2=CH2 Ethylene 174nm
-C=C-C=C- Butadiene 217nm
-C=C-C=C-C=C- 1,3,5 Hexatriene 267nm
-C=C-C=O- Crotonaldehyde 218nm
29. Distinction of conjugated and non conjugated
diene
29
uv spectra is also useful in distinguishing a
conjugated and non conjugated compound
Example :
The non conjugated ethylene having one
double bond has λmax at 174 nm can be easily
distinguished from butadiene which appears at
longer wavelength λmax 217nm due to the presence of
conjugated double bond
30. Detection of impurities
if a substance is contaminated with impurity ,the
impurity will also absorb light at different
wavelength then the absorption spectra of impure
substance will differ from characteristic absorption
of pure substance thus impurities present in
pharmaceuticals or organic compounds can be
easily detected by measuring its absorbance at
specific wavelength
Example : the presence of impurity xanthanoic acid
in propantheline bromide can be determined by
measuring the absorbance of 0.5%W/V in 0.1M
NAOH at 281nm .if the absorbance is more than
0.31, then it indicates the presence of xanthanoic
acid impurity 30
31. Identification of unknown compound
An unknown compound can be identified by comparing its
spectrum with the known spectra. If the two spectra coincide ,
the two compound must be identical . If the spectra do not
coincide, then the expected structure is different from the
known compound
Detection of polynuclear hydrocarbons
Benzene and polynuclear compounds have characteristic
spectra in ultra violet and visible radition . Thus the
identification of polynuclear hydrocarbons can be made by
comparison with the spectra of known polynuclear compounds
.

32. Example : benzenes shows adsoption maximum at 256nm .

33. Structural elucidation
Elucidation of structure is another important qualitative
application of uv spectroscopy. For example structure of
vitamin A1 and A2 can be easily elucidated by uv spectra.
Vitamin A1 absorbs at 325nm and vitamin A2 absorbs at
351 nm . The absorption maximum appears at longer
wavelegth for vitamin A2 due to the presence of additional
ethylene bonds

If a molecule exists in two tautomeric forms preference of one
over the can be detected by ultra violet spectroscopy
Example : 2 hydroxy pyridine which exists in equilibrium with its
tautomeric from pyridone-2 the spectra of these two
compounds were found to favour pyridoxine-2 which is an α,β
unsaturated ketone and clearly, the equilibrium is shifted
