A simple, fast, and highly selective RP-HPLC method was developed for the determination of Dapagliflozin (DAP) and Saxagliptin (SAX) in API and tablet dosage form. The separation was done using a Xterra RP18 (4.6×150 mm, 5 μm particle size) column with Acetonitrile: water (60:40). The isocratic elution mode at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, and the analytes were measured at 248 nm. The retention time for DAP and SAX were about 2.091 and 3.249 min, respectively. Calibration curves were found to be linear in the ranges of 100-500 μg/ml for DAP and 50-250 μg/ml for SAX, with correlation coefficients of 0.9998. The detection and quantification values for DAP was 3.0 and 9.98 μg/ml and SAX was 3.02 and 10 μg/ml respectively.

Objective: A validated liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed for canagliflozin in human plasma along with stability studies. Methods: The chromatographic separation of canagliflozin was performed on Zorbax XDB phenyl (75 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 mm) using methanol:acetate buffer (80:20 v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The LC–MS/MS system consists of API 4000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with turbospray ionization and an AS8020 automatic sample injector. Results: The retention time of canagliflozin was 1.15 min and total runtime was 2 min. The multiple reaction monitoring was 462.5/267.1 (m/z) for canagliflozin and 466.4/267.2 (m/z) for internal standard (canagliflozin D4), respectively. The method was linear over the range of 10–7505 ng/ml. The calculated slope ranged from 0.0451 to 0.0502 and intercepts from 0.0102 to 0.0456 with coefficients of the determination of 0.9970. The overall mean recovery of internal standard and canagliflozin was 76.66 and 79.77, respectively. Conclusion: The method was successfully validated and it was found to be within the limits for accuracy, precision, and linearity and it is stable under analytical conditions used.
