Force degradation studies of drug substance give perceptive knowledge about the intrinsic stability of the molecule as well as possible degradants which formed during the shelf life of drug and thus, aid within the successive development of its stable formulation. A number of analytical methods with hyphenated techniques are required for the identification, determination and characterization of degraded product and impurities produce during different conditions of stress studies; Chromatographic methodology play a vital role in the field of impurity and degradation profiling .This review summarizes the current regulatory requirements guidelines for the laboratory performance of forced degradation and its application for the development of stability indicating method. There are number of strategies have been implemented for the quantitative assessment of antiviral drugs. This study will provide detailed literature on stability- indicating HPLC/ RP-HPLC approaches for the development and validation of various antiviral drugs.

The objective of the work is to try and assess the applicability and manufacturing possibilities to optimize an enteric coated tablet formulation containing Rabeprazole sodium as the drug aiming at the anti-acidity activity with desired drug release properties. Enteric coated tablet was chosen as dosage form being a cost-effective technology for pharmaceutical industry requiring fewer procedures. Before the implementation of the pharmaceutical technological aims, analysis of critical factors influencing the manufacture was carried out. Reproducible manufacturing processes are required to achieve suitability and tablets uniformity to achieve the uniform properties of tablets, which could influence experimental parameters. Rabeprazole in core content of tablet is blended with HPMC (different grades), xanthan gum, PVPK30, mannitol, crosspovidone, Sodium starch glycolate, Colloidal silicon dioxide to formulate the product. Prepared formulation was tested for weight and content uniformity, physical characteristics, in vitro dissolution behaviour, acid resistance and accelerated stability studies. All studies performed resulted and revealed for assurance of such enteric coated tablet formulation for drug Rabeprazole with optimum characteristics, concluding it as a promising approach to enhance drug release characteristics. Keywords: Rabeprazole, HPMC, enteric coated tablets, In Vitro evaluation.

Tablets or capsules taken orally remain one of the most effective means of treatment available. The effectiveness of such dosage forms relies on the drug dissolving in the fluids of the gastrointestinal tract prior to absorption into the systemic circulation. The present study reveals the evaluation of four marketed sample of Telmisartan tablets. The main aim of the study is to conduct dissolution test on the tablets to determine the compliance with a given official monograph. Four different marketed samples of Telmisartan were purchased from local market. The Telmisartan tablets were evaluated for the various in-vitro tablet properties such as thickness, hardness, friability, weight variation, drug content, disintegration time and dissolution rate. In-vitro dissolution test is conducted on four different brands of telmisartan tablets to assess their equivalency. All the four marketed samples of Telmisartan have shown good tablet properties and comply with the pharmacopoeial specification. The in-vitro dissolution showed the 80% drug release within one hour from all the four brands which complies with the specification of pharmacopoeia.
