6.0. BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK 6.1) General Discussion:-

Darifenacin Hydrobromide is an Antimuscarinic Agent. It is used in the treatment of an over-active bladder. It relaxes the muscle in the wall of the bladder called as destruster muscle by preventing acetylcholine acting on the muscaranic receptors. The molecule has a chiral centre and the S-enantiomer is selected for the analytical method development. The decision is to select the S-enantiomer of the active substance is based on its potency and selectivity. Subsequently, this isomer is to be used for the development of new analytical methods.

6.2) NEED FOR THE STUDY:

The aim of the present study is to develop simple, easy, economical and the reproducible analytical method for the determination of Darifenacin. Darifenacin is not official in Indian Pharmacopoeia. Several methods have been reported for determination of Darifenacin in biological or pharmaceutical samples. But these are time consuming and expensive.

In the view of the need in the industry for routine analysis of Darifenacin, attempts are being made to develop simple and accurate instrumental methods for quantitative estimation of Darifenacin and extend it for their determination in formulations. Analytical monitoring of a pharmaceutical product or specific ingredients within the product is necessary to ensure its safety, efficacy throughout all phases of its shelf life. Thus there is a need for the development of simple, sensitive, accurate and economical analytical method for effective quantitative estimation of Darifenacin.

Darifenacin is marketed in formulations. So the main aim of the study is to develop the simple and accurate method for the routine analysis of the Darifenacin.

6.3. REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE:-

Kerbusch et al9., developed the pharmacokinetic modeling of Darifenacin and its hydroxylated metabolite using pooled data, incorporating saturable first-pass metabolism.

Peter.M. et al10., reported the pharmacokinetics –pharmacidynamics relationship between Darifenacin and its hydroxylated metabolites by in- vivo study.

Masuda.Y. et al11., developed and validated the bioanalytical methods for Darifenacin and its metabolites in human plasma by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry.

2

K. C. Beaumont et al12., reported the three metabolism routes of Darifenacin by in-vivo study.

Maruyama et al13.,evaluated and reported the effects of Darifenacin for overactive bladder (OAB) treatment on in- vivo muscuranic receptor binding in rat brain by quantitative autoradiography.

Chancellor et al14., reported the behavioral to Darifenacin for overactive bladder treatment by in-vivo study. They also evaluated the health related quality of life.

Augusto Canavesi et al15., reported that pure Darifenacin hydrobromide substantially free of oxidized Darifenacin and salts thereof and processes for the preparation by HPLC method.

6.4. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:-

The present work is aimed to,


1) Develop spectrophotometric method for the estimation of Darifenacin in bulk and dosage forms.

2) Standardize the developed methods.

3) Analyses the marketed formulation for their reliability and accuracy.

Some few analytical methods have been reported for the quantitative estimation of Darifenacin. There is necessity for investigation of new analytical methods for quantitative estimation of Darifenacin in bulk drug and pharmaceutical dosage forms. .In the view of the above fact, planned to develop an accurate, selective, low cost, less time consuming and specific method for the estimation of Darifenacin in bulk and dosage forms.

ENCLOSURE – II

7.0. MATERIALS AND METHODS:-

In the present investigation of newer analytical method development of Darifenacin and bulkdrug formulation. Chemicals and other reagents are analytical grade and purchased from standard companies. The methods will be standadized onUV- Visible spectrophotometer and chromatographic instruments, using calibrated volumetric glass apparatus.

The pure sample of Darifenacin for the research work will be procured from Ranbexy Ltd. Baddi (H.P.).

New method will be planed depending upon the chemical nature (functional group, chromophore, polarity etc.) of Darifenacin.
