Abstract
A gradient high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of vildagliptin related substances. This method is based on using of RP-C18 (250 × 4.6 mm×5µm) and gradient elution with phosphate buffer and methanol as mobile phase. Various forced degradation studies were conducted to establish an impurity profile for vildagliptin in the tablet formula. Three degradation products were produced upon exposing vildagliptin to different degradation conditions (acidic, basic, oxidative, photolytic, aqueous and thermal); their structures were characterized using LC-MS and NMR (1H NMR, 13C NMR and DEPT) techniques. Some excipient components, examined in this study, had major effect towards producing any extra new degradation products.
