Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

This inhibits autophosphorylation of EGFR and
blocks downstream signalling. There is no bio-
analytical method for estimation of CRM in Plasma.
Hence this study was aimed at developing a simple,
rapid and sensitive method for estimation of analyte
(CRM) in tissue samples (plasma) by using RP-
HPLC1-3
.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Material
Curcumin (CRM) supplied as a gift sample from
Sunpure Extracts Pvt. Ltd (Delhi, India). All
solvents used were of HPLC grade. Formic acid,
Methanol and acetonitrile were obtained from
MERCK. Chem. Ltd (Mumbai, India).
Plasma Samples
Plasma samples were obtained from Central Animal
House Facility, R.C. Patel Institute of
Pharmaceutical education and Research Shirpur.
Registration number 651/PO/ReBi/S/02/CPCSEA.
The rats were euthanasiazed by using CO2 chamber
(carcass disposal: Deep Burying under Soil). The
rats were decapitated immediately after blood
collection (Figure No.1). Blood samples were
anticoagulated with heparin and centrifuged at 6000
rpm for 10 min to obtain plasma. All plasma
samples were stored in a deep freezer at −70˚C until
HPLC analysis.
Instrumentation
Analysis were carried out using an Agilent 1200
HPLC system (Agilent technologies, USA). The
system was equipped with quaternary pump and
photo diode-array detector (PDA). All data were
acquired and processed using EZ chrome elite
software version 3.3.2.
Chromatographic conditions
Chromatographic separation was performed by
using C-18 column (Qualisil BDS C18, 250 mm x
4.6 mm I.D.) coupled with a guard column.
Isocratic elution was performed with acetonitrile:
water with 0.1% formic acid (40:60 v/v) at a flow
rate of 0.3 mL/min. The mobile phase was selected
to give proper resolution of peaks4
.
Plasma Samples processing and quality control
(QC) samples
Certified reference standards of CRM was weighed
accurately and transferred 100 mg of CRM as
working standard into 100 ml of volumetric flask,
add about 100 ml of methanol and sonicated (1000
µg/mL solution). The working standard solutions
was 100-400 ng/mL solution5
.
Preparation of standard solutions of internal
standard (IS)
Internal standard such as hydrochlorothiazide, add
100 mg of IS in 100 ml of methanolic working
solution (1000 µg/ml). The working standard
solutions was 30 µg/mL solution
Preparation of Plasma samples
The whole procedure was carried out at room
temperature. To 100 µl of CRM standard solution
100 µl of blank plasma sample, 100 µl of IS
hydrochlorothiazide (30 µg/ml) were spiked and
added extraction solvent 2 mL of acetonitrile was
added and vortexed mixture for 20 min. This
sample was ultracentrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10
min. The supernatant layer was collected and 20 µl
was analyzed by HPLC system6-8
.
Method development
Methods development was important to judge the
quality, reliability and consistency of analytical
results. It is the process for proving that analytical
method is acceptable for use to measure the
concentration of drugs7
.
Method validation
Validation of an analytical method is the process
which is established by laboratory studies to
evaluate the performance uniqueness of the
procedure meet the requirements for its intended
use. The validation process for analytical
procedures begins with planned and systematic
collection by the applicant of the validation data to
support analytical procedures. The following are
typical analytical performance characteristics which
may be tested during methods validation: linearity,
recovery, precision, sensitivity (LOD and LOQ) and
stability study (short and long-term stabilities,
Freeze/thaw stability and post-preparative). The
linearity of a bioanalytical method is its ability to
elicit test results that are directly, or by a

well‐defined mathematical transformation,
proportional to the concentration of analyte in
sample within a given range (100-400 ng/mL).
Percent recovery of the proposed method was
determined on the basis of standard addition
method. The percent recovery as well as average
percent recovery was calculated. Recovery should
be assessed using minimum 9 determinations over
minimum 3 concentrations level covering specified
range. Recovery study was performed three
different level 80 %, 100 % and 120 %. The
precision is the measure of either the degree of
reproducibility or repeatability of analytical method.
It provides an indication of random error. Intra-day
precision was determined by analysing, the three
different concentrations 200 ng/ml, 300 ng/ml and
400 ng/ml for plasma samples analysis, for three
times in the same day and Inter-day variability was
assessed using above mentioned three
concentrations of plasma samples were analysed by
three different days, over a period of one week.
Sensitivity refers to the smallest quantity that can be
accurately measured. It also indicates the capacity
of the method to measure small variations in
concentration. Sensitivity of the proposed method
were estimated in terms of Limit of Detection
(LOD) and Limit of Quantitation (LOQ). For
plasma sample analysis 100-400 ng/ml. The linear
regression equation of the calibration curve was
used to determine the LOD and LOQ. The stability
of CRM in plasma samples was assessed under
different storage conditions. Stability was expressed
as the concentration ratio of analytes in sample
under each storage condition against those in the
freshly prepared sample. All stability assessments
were assayed at three concentrations. Three samples
were determined for short-term stability by putting
them on the bench top at room temperature for 12 h
and 24 h, respectively, prior to extraction. To
evaluate freeze/thaw stability, three samples were
subject to three freeze-thaw cycles with each cycle
stepping from defrosting at room temperature to
freezing at -20°C for 12 h. To determine the post-
preparative stability, the extracted samples were
stored in the sampler for 24 h. The long-term
stability was performed by processing and analysing
samples of plasma and brain kept at -20°C for 40
days8-12
.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Method development
Mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: water with
0.1% formic acid (40:60 v/v) was tried and drug
was resolved properly. This method showed the best
peak shape and ideal detection response.
Furthermore, strong organic solvent in the reversed-
phase chromatography can reduce static retention
and shorten analysis time. Acetonitrile: water with
0.1% formic acid (40:60 v/v) mobile phase was
optimized to give proper resolution of peaks (Figure
No.2).
METHODS VALIDATION
Linearity
For plasma sample analysis linearity concentration
in the range was100-400 ng/mL. The correlation
coefficients (R2
) of CRM in plasma was found to be
0.9996.
Recovery, Precision and Sensitivity study
Recovery studies of plasma samples for the
proposed method were carried out, respective data
is obtained and mentioned in (Table No.1)
Recovery study was determined at three levels 80
%, 100 %, 120 % at each level three determinations
were performed. Intra-day and Inter-day precision
of plasma sample analysis was reported in (Table
No.1). The % RSD for CRM was less than 2.0 %.
The results are showing that the proposed method
was precise. Sensitivity of the proposed method
were estimated in terms of Limit of Detection
(LOD) and Limit of Quantitation (LOQ). The linear
regression equation of the calibration curve was
used to determine the LOD and LOQ. Limit of
detection, limit of quantitation of plasma sample
analysis were reported in (Table No.1)
respectively13-14
.
Stability study
The results demonstrated that CRM were stable in
plasma sample at room temperature for 12 h, in the
sampling for 24 h and after three freeze-thaw
cycles. All analytes were stable after stored at room
temperature for 24 h. Even when stored in a long-

term freezer set at -20°C for 40 days, all analytes
remained stable. Stability data for CRM shown in
(Table No.2) and the results suggested that the
tissue sample containing CRM can be stored under
common laboratory conditions without any
significant degradation of all analytes. Stability of
CRM was investigated using different
concentrations of QC plasma samples. Excellent
recoveries of CRM were observed at different
storage conditions and no significant loss of CRM
in either plasma was observed.

Figure No.2: Typical chromatogram of CRM in Plasma Samples
CONCLUSION
In this study, we developed and validated a highly
sensitive and specific RP-HPLC method for the
quantitative analysis of CRM in plasma samples.
Validation of analytical method for estimation for
CRM was determined by evaluating linearity,
precision, recovery, sensitivity (LOD-LOQ) and
stability (short and long-term stabilities,
Freeze/thaw stability and post-preparative) in order
to establish the suitability of analytical method. The
method was validated in compliance with ICH
guidelines is suitable for estimation of analytes with
excellent recovery, precision, linearity and stability.
