Stability studies of alprazolam tablets: effects of chemical interactions with some excipients in pharmaceutical solid preparations

Abstract

An HPLC method was developed to determine the stability of alprazolam (AL) as a pure drug and in monodrug pharmaceutical tablets. The main degradation product of AL tablets was isolated and fully characterized as triazolaminoquinoleine (TAQ). For a quantitative evaluation of the excipient effects in the pharmaceutical formulations, a 2k fractionated factorial design was applied in the preparation of the different samples. The kinetic of degradation of AL in each formulation was followed by UV spectrophotometry. It was found that excipients like CMC and magnesium stearate favour degradation, while the rate of the reaction is decreased when lactose and starch were used as excipients. A mechanism for the interactions of AL with some excipients is postulated that explains the observed results. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Photocatalytic degradation of alprazolam in water suspension of brookite type TiO2 nanopowders prepared using hydrothermal route

“…Alprazolam is one of the 5th generation benzodiazepines [18,19], a group of psychiatric substances acting on the central nervous system [19e21] and, similarly to the other pharmacological groups, occurring in the environment in the range of ng/lÀmg/l [22]. The presence of these compounds in the ecosystems might have a significant effect on non-target organisms [23].…”

Inter‐ and intramolecular hydrogen bonds in polyamines: variable‐concentration1H‐NMR studies

“…NMR spectroscopy is a very useful tool for detecting non‐bonding interactions, since it is extremely sensitive to molecular structure, conformational, solvent, and other environmental effects 1. We have recently reported 1 H and 13 C‐NMR studies on matters as diverse as identification of drug photo‐degradation,2–4 detection of intermediates,5–9 and characterization of the natural attenuation of oil spills in Patagonian soils 10, 11. The role of inter‐ and intramolecular hydrogen bonding in determining the arrangement, physical properties, and reactivity of a great diversity of structures is a subject of experimental and theoretical research in chemical12–15 and biological systems 16.…”
