ABSTRACT:
A simple, accurate and precise stability indicating high performance liquid chromatography
was developed and validated for estimation of Anagliptin and Metformin HCl in bulk and
pharmaceutical dosage form. The mobile phase Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate Buffer (pH
2.7): Acetonitrile solution in the ratio of (15:85% V/V) at detection wavelength 243 nm for
Anagliptin and Metformin and flow rate 2 mL/min and the retention time for Anagliptin and
Metformin HCl was found to be 11.23 and 6.02 respectively. The method was linear over the
concentration ranges 10-60 μg/mL for Anagliptin and 25-150 μg/mL for Metformin. The
LOD was 1.158 μg/mL for Anagliptin and 2.344 μg/mL for Metformin. The LOQ was 3.508
μg/mL for Anagliptin and 7.102 μg/mL for Metformin. During stress conditions, ANA
degraded significantly under acidic, alkaline, oxidative and thermal stress conditions;
degraded moderately under photolytic stress conditions; and showed negligible degradation
under elevated temperature and humidity conditions. MET degraded significantly under
acidic, alkaline and oxidative stress conditions; degraded moderately under thermal and
humidity stress conditions and showed negligible degradation under photolytic stress
condition.

INTRODUCTION
Anagliptin is used for type 2 diabetus mellitus and longer duration of action for treatment of
type 2 non-insulin dependent diabetus mellitus disease as a Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 inhibitor
Anagliptin, chemically N-[2-[[2-[(2S)-2-Cyanopyrrolodin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl] amino]-2-
methylpropyl]-2-methylpyrazolo [1, 5-a] pyrimidine-6-carboxamide (Figure 1) is a
Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP 4) inhibitor which is used in treatment of type 2 NIDDM [01].
Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 enzyme breaks down the incretins GLP-1 gastrointestinal hormones
released in response to a meal. By preventing GLP-1 inactivation, they are able to increase
the secretion of insulin and suppress the release of glucagon by the alpha cells of the
pancreas. This drives blood glucose levels towards normal level [02-03]. This drug is not
official in any of the pharmacopeia. Anagliptin is a very effective pill with minimum risk
profile for type 2 diabetus mellitus and longer duration of action for treatment of type 2 non-
insulin dependent diabetus mellitus disease [04]. A literature survey revealed that few methods
are reported for determination of ANA, either alone or in combination, by spectrophotometric
[05-07], HPLC [08-09], LC/MS [10].

Figure 1: Chemical Structure of Anagliptin
Figure 2: Chemical structure of Metformin HCl
Metformin is chemically a 1-Caramimidamido-N, N-Dimethylmethanimidamide [11] (Figure
2) and has pharmacological action based on Biguanides category [12-13]. It suppresses hepatic
gluconeogenesis and glucose output from liver. This is the major action responsible for
lowering blood glucose in diabetics. It is official in IP [14], BP [15], and USP [16]. Literature
review revels that many spectrophotometric [17-18], HPLC [19-20], HPTLC [21] methods are
reported for determination of Metformin hydrochloride (HCl), either alone or in
combination[08].
The aim of the present work was to develop a stability indicating HPLC method for
simultaneous estimation of ANA and MET in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form. It is
pertinent to note that, some of the published methods enabled estimation of drugs in
combination products containing two drugs via spectrophotometric. However, so far, not any
HPLC method was reported in pharmaceutical dosage form. Hence, HPLC chromatographic
conditions were developed with forced degradation studies and the method was validated to
establish selectivity with respect to excipients and degradation products.
MATERIALS AND METHOD:
Apparatus
Chromatographic separation of drugs was performed on a Shimadzu HPLC instrument
(LC_2010 CHT) [software LC Solution, equipped with photo diode array detector (SPD-

M20A), Auto-sampler]. The system contains a quaternary gradient pump, auto sampler,
column oven and a PDA detector. Software referred to above was used to record and
integrates the chromatograms. Among other instruments, analytical balance (Acculab ALC-
210.4, Huntingdon Valley, PA), Photostability chamber (TH-90S, Thermolab, Mumbai,
India) , Hot air oven (TO-90S, Thermolab), pH meter (Thermo Electron Crop., Pune, India),
Sonicator (EN 30 US, Enertech Fast Clean, Mumbai, India) were also used at different stages
of development and validation of stability indicating assay method.
Chemicals and Reagents
The API of Anagliptin and Metfromin procured from Intas Pharmaceuticals LTD,
Ahmedabad. Combination test product METOANA Tablets 100/250 mg (manufactured by
Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co. LTD) was procured from the market. All the solvents like
Methanol, Acetonitrile, Phosphate Buffer and Potassium dihydrogen phosphate were of
HPLC grade from Finar Chemicals Ltd, Ahmedabad, India. All the chemical reagents were of
analytical grade.
Preparation of Standard Stock Solution
The standard solution was prepared by weighing accurately about 10 mg of ANA and 25 mg
of MET transferred into clean and dry 10 mL volumetric flask. Initially about 5 mL methanol
was added to the flask respectively and sonicated. The volume was made up to the mark with
the methanol to achieve 1000 µg/mL of ANA and 2500 µg/mL of MET standard stock
solutions.
Preparation of working standard solution
From the above prepared Stock solutions, pipette out 1 mL of ANA and 1 mL MET solution
and transferred into a clean and dry 10 mL volumetric flask, methanol was added upto the
mark to get final concentration 100 µg/mL & 250 µg/mL respectively, in mixture.
Preparation of test solution
Twenty METOANA tablets were accurately weighed, their average weight was calculated.
Amount of finely powdered tablet equivalent to 100 mg ANA and 250 mg MET was weighed
and transferred into a 100 mL volumetric flask and the volume was adjusted to mark with
methanol. The contents of the flask were sonicated for 30 min to dissolve the active
ingredients completely. The solution was filtered through a Whatman filter paper no. 41.

From this 1 mL aliquot was transferred into a 100 mL volumetric flask and the volume was
made with methanol. This corresponds to 10 µg/ mL of ANA & 25 µg/ mL MET, in mixture
was analyzed for assay determination.
Standardized Chromatographic conditions
The analyte drugs and degradation products were well separated with ZORBAX RX C8 (250
mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) as a stationary phase and gradient system of Potassium Dihydrogen
Phosphate Buffer (pH 2.7): Acetonitrile solution in the ratio of (15:85% V/V). The flow rate
was adjusted to 2 mL/min. Determination was done at wavelength 243 nm. Column
temperature was set to 300 C. Total run time was 20 min. Injection volume was 10 µL.
Methanol was used as a diluent.
METHOD VALIDATION
The proposed method was validated as per ICH guidelines Q2 R1 [22].
System suitability test parameters
System suitability tests are used to verify that the resolution and repeatability of the system
were adequate for the analysis intended. The parameters used in this test were the
chromatographic peak resolution (>2), theoretical plate number (>2000) and tailing factor
(<1.8). The repeatability of these parameters was checked by injecting six solutions of ANA
and MET.
Linearity
From the standard stock solution containing 100 µg/mL ANA and 250 µg/mL MET, aliquots
of 1 mL, 2 mL, 3 mL, 4 mL, 5 mL and 6 mL were transferred in clean and dry 10 mL
volumetric flasks respectively. The volume was made up to the mark with diluent. This
yielded solution of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 µg/mL of ANA and; 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and
150 µg/mL of MET respectively. An injection volume of 10 μL of each solution was injected
under operating chromatographic condition. Six replicates of each concentration were
performed and then calibration plots were determined by linear least – squares regression.
The plate was developed on previously described mobile phase. The peak areas were plotted
against the corresponding concentrations to obtain the calibration graphs.
Precision
Repeatability was determined by applying six replicates of test solution (10 µg/mL ANA and
25 µg/mL MET). The intraday and interday precisions were determined by responses of six

replicates on same and different days for the test concentration. The results were reported in
terms of % RSD.
Accuracy
Recovery study was carried out by standard addition method where known amount of
standard concentration at 50%, 100% and 150% of the test solution were spiked in the test
solution in triplicate. The amount of drugs was estimated by substituting values in regression
equation. The % RSD of the recovery was calculated.
LOD and LOQ
The LOD and LOQ of the developed method were calculated from the calibration curve using
equations, LOD = 3.3 ×ϭ/S and LOQ = 10 × ϭ/S where ϭ is the standard deviation of y-
intercept and S is the slope of the curve.
Robustness
By introducing small changes in the detection wavelength (±2 nm) and saturation time for the
chamber before plate development (±2 min), the effects on the results were determined. One
factor at a time was changed and the effect on peak area of the drug was studied. Robustness
of the method was done on single level for six replicates and %RSD was calculated.
FORCED DEGRADATION STUDIES:
Force degradation study was intended to ensure the effective separation of ANA and MET
and their potential degradation products which are generated under different stress conditions
like acid, alkaline and neutral hydrolysis, oxidative degradation, thermal and photolytic
degradation.
Acid Hydrolysis
Accurately weighed 10 mg ANA and 25 mg MET were transferred in 10 mL volumetric flask
individually and in combination. To this were added 5 mL methanol and 5 mL of 0.1 N HCl
and it was kept at room temperature for 5 h. From that solution 1 mL was transferred into 10
mL volumetric flask, neutralized with 0.1 N NaOH and diluted to mark with methanol. This
corresponds to 100 µg/mL ANA and 250 µg/mL MET were injected under operating

For separation of ANA and MET, and their degradation peaks, different mobile phases with
different solvents in different ratio were tried like (1) Water: ACN (50:50 %V/V) (2) Buffer:
ACN (pH 3) (50:50 % V/V) (3) Acetonitrile: Buffer (pH 2.7) (70:30 %V/V). The mobile
phase Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate Buffer (pH 2.7): Acetonitrile solution in the ratio of
(15:85% V/V) showed well resolved peak with better peak shape. The drugs were resolved
with tR of 6.02 ± 0.41 min and 11.23 ± 0.37 min of MET and ANA, respectively.
Determination of all three drugs was done at wavelength 243 nm with column temperature
300 C and adjusted flow rate 2.0 mL/min. Injection Volume was set 20 µL for a good peak
shape. (Figure 3)

Forced degradation studies
The result of forced degradation studies are summarized in (Table 6). Under the optimized
chromatographic conditions degradation products of analytes were well resolved and the
percent degradation was calculated by comparing peak area with standard preparation.
During stress degradation experiments, it was observed that ANA degraded significantly
under acidic, alkaline, oxidative and thermal stress conditions; and showed negligible
degradation under photolytic stress conditions and neutral hydrolysis condition. MET
degraded significantly under alkaline and oxidative stress conditions; degraded moderately
under acidic, neutral and thermal stress condition and showed negligible degradation under
photolytic stress condition.
The purity of the drug (analyte peak) was ascertained by analysing spectrum at peak start,
peak end and peak apex position which showed no interference of any excipients or process
impurities in analyte peak. The method is also deemed to be specific from potential
degradation products as most of the degradation products are adequately resolved from both
analyte peaks. The sample tablet was exposed to thermal and photolytic degradation
conditions as per ICH Q1A R2 guidelines [23]. The method was therefore being considered to
be stability indicating for tablet solid dosage form. (Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8, Figure 9,

ANA and MET in pharmaceutical dosage form without interference from the excipients and
potential degradation products in various stress conditions like acid hydrolysis, alkaline
hydrolysis, neutral hydrolysis, oxidative, thermal and photolytic degradation conditions. The
developed method is validated as per ICH guidelines. The results showed the suitability of
developed method for stability studies of the pharmaceutical dosage form.
