Abstract

The current study is describing the main degrading scums in bromazepam, diazepam, Cefixime trihydrate, cefazolin sodium, simvastatin, and lovastatin, among other materials and manufactured items. HPLC was used to characterize pharmaceutical substance scums by comparing their retention lengths to reference standards. Before deciding, they sorted all the material from its main scums. Scums fell between 1.23 to 20.57 min, and parent compounds had try values between 2.71 and 9.22. Thus, isolating and identifying these compounds takes 20 minutes. This study identified parent compounds and degradation products using HPLC after confirming the European Pharmacopeial methodology. HPLC method validation for parent pharmaceuticals and degradation scums examined specificity, linearity, precision, and accuracy. The process can be applied to commodities and waste products using each compound's values for these qualities. 98%–102% of parent and scum materials are recovered. The experimental technique repeats within 3%. In compliance with pharmacopeial and regulatory norms, scums above 0.1% must be determined for pharmaceutical safety, efficacy, and quality. It's vital due to the effects of packaging, transit, storage, and manufacturer synthetic pathways. Adjuvants may cause degradation scums. The selected drugs' raw material and finished product levels of their main degrading scums were examined, and a concentration range was provided.
