Abstract
Olaparib is an orally active poly (ADP-ribose) PARP (polymerases) inhibitor known to destroy cancer cells with BRCA1 or BRCA2 deficiency. An authentic, fast, distinct, and reliable reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed and promptly validated in tablet formulations for olaparib estimation. The proposed method focuses on the separation of olaparib in reverse phase mode using a Waters symmetry C18 (150 x 4.6 mm, 5 μm) analytical column with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and the injection volume was kept at 20 μL. The optimized mobile phase consists of ammonium acetate buffer (pH adjusted to 3.5 by glacial acetic acid): methanol in the ratio of 50:50 v/v. The eluents were measured at 254 nm and the retention time for the drug encircled was about 4.32 min. The stress degradation studies of olaparib were conducted under acidic, alkaline, oxidative, photolytic and thermal conditions to demonstrate the stability of the drug. The regression value of 0.998 showed that the developed method was linear over the range of 80 μg/mL to 120 μg/mL. The developed RP-HPLC method is accurate and precise. The method was statistically validated as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The proposed method is suitable and can be applied for the quantitative estimation of olaparib without any interference of the excipients used in the drug formulations.
