Andrographis paniculata is an herbaceous plant belonging to the family Acanthaceae dan also known as the “King of Bitters”. It has been utilized as traditional medicines by the local people in India and Southeast Asia. Many studies have been reported regarding the pharmacological activities of A. paniculata and Andrographolide. Currently, in addition to compound isolation and bioactivity assays, validation of analysis method is also required. Validation is used to demonstrate that the method used is appropriate and the results are precise and accurate. The method used needs to be simple, concise, precise, accurate, and widely used. The analysis in this study was carried out using Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography because the instrument operates at high pressure. In addition, the system uses fine particles which can reduce column length as well as solvent and time consumption. This study aims to validate analytical methods in determining the contents of andrographolide in an A. paniculata Leaves. The analytical method was validated through a Waters Alliance UPLC System with photodiode array (PDA) detector. The A. paniculata extract and standard solutions of Andrographolide were analyzed using reverse-phase C18 column which was maintained at 40°C. A mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid in acetnotirile and 0.1% formic acid in water was used at flow rate of 0.3 mL/min to achieve gradient elution. The linearity of the andrographolide showed excellent results (R2= 0.9999) in the concentration range of 7.8–250.0 µg/mL. The LOD and LOQ values of andrographolide were 0.068 µg/mL and 0.205 µg/mL, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviation (RSD) and relative error (RE) accuracy values of andrographolide were <±15. The quantitative analysis found that A. paniculata extract contained 12.45 ±0.06 mg/g of Andrographolide. This developed UPLC-PDA method was proven to be precise, specific, sensitive, and accurate for routine quality assessment of raw material of Andrographis paniculata leaves content.

The purpose of this study was to develop a rapid, sensitive, and precise RP-HPLC (Reverse-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) method for the estimation of asiaticoside (AC) using the analytical quality by design (AQbD) approach. Initially, important AQbD prerequisites like analytical target profile (ATP) and critical analytical attributes (CAAs), such as theoretical plates and tailing factor, were defined. The final chromatographic conditions for the analysis of AC consist of stationary phase {A COSMOSIL 5C18-MS-II packed column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d, 5 µm)}, mobile phase was Smix {Methanol and Acetonitrile (40:25)}, and Orthophosphoric acid buffer (0.025 % OPA) in the ratio of 65:35 v/v at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and detection wavelength was 205 nm. The diversity in CAAs with different inputs was explained using the Ishikawa fishbone diagram. Taguchi design was selected as the first screening design to choose the critical material attributes (CMAs) that influence the method development. Subsequently, for more systematic optimization of the chromatographic technique and evaluation of CAAs, central composite design (CCD) was employed. In conclusion, the findings of the present study validated the utility of AQbD in the systemic design of a liquid chromatographic method with fine sensitivity for AC estimation in pharmaceutical products.

The objective of this study was to develop effervescent cleansing tablets that can be dissolved and turned into liquid soap, which can be used for bathing or soaking the body. The asiatic-acid-loaded solid lipid microparticles (AASLMs) were prepared via the hot emulsification method followed by cold re-solidification and then freeze-dried to obtained dry powder. The physicochemical properties such as morphology and % entrapment efficiency (%EE) were evaluated. The results revealed that AASLMs have an irregular shape, and the %EE for the resulting AASLMs was 92.04 ± 3.43%. The tablets were manufactured via the direct compression technique. The compatibility test was conducted to ensure that the excipients are compatible with the active ingredient. The angle of repose, Carr’s index, and Hausner’s ratio were studied to evaluate the flowability of the powder blend before compression. The weight of each tablet was set to 1000 mg, and physicochemical characteristics, in vitro dissolution, ex vivo cleansing efficacy, and stability were evaluated. The results showed that the active ingredient was compatible with other excipients, as the results obtained from FTIR spectra indicated the absence of potential chemical interaction between the active ingredient and excipients used in this study. Additionally, all formulations had good flow properties. The effervescence times of selected formulations, F2 and F3, were <5 min, with favorable pH and hardness values. The friability values of all formulations exceeded 1% because the excipients used in effervescent tablets are very fragile. The release of asiatic acid (AA) from the tablets was dependent on the concentration of SLS. In an ex vivo test, it was discovered that the developed products F2 and F3 showed much more effective cleansing efficacy than water. Nevertheless, brown spots appeared in the tablets and the AA content was significantly decreased in both tested formulations after 3 months’ storage at 40 ± 2 °C/75% RH ± 5% RH. The stability study revealed that the developed products were not stable at high temperature and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that the developed effervescent tablets are not stored at a high temperature.

The aim of the study is to standardize a simple and an effective extraction method for industrial preparation of Centella asiatica (L.) extract rich in triterpenoids. Macroporous resin purification process was adapted to enrich the triterpenes extracted from the herb. A sensitive analytical method with good resolution, linearity and a shorter run time of 10 minutes was developed in UHPLC-Q-ToF-MS for monitoring the triterpenes (madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid) content at each stage of the extraction process. The standardized process could enrich the triterpene, madecassoside in the product up to a purity of 72.51% with overall recovery of the compound to 90.79%. A purified form of asiaticoside with a purity of 85% was obtained by dealcoholization and precipitation process exploiting the differential water solubility of the two major triterpenes. The binding and recovery of the aglycones (madecassic acid and asiatic acid) were observed to be poor and hence the overall recovery of aglycones by this process was found to be very low. The purified triterpenoids were also confirmed by the ¹H NMR. Thus, the results suggest that the standardized process can be converted to industrial scale preparation of high value C.asiatica (L.) products rich in madecassoside or asiaticoside.
