The equation of the best-fit least squares regression lines for FTC, TNF and EFV were y = 0.0191x+0.0007, y = 0.0163x+0.0116 and y = 0.01x+0.016, respectively. The method is accurate as the y-intercept was < 2% of the detector response for all ARV, and the method is precise in terms of intra- and inter-assay precision as all % RSD < 2%. The stability-indicating nature of the method was demonstrated under acidic, alkaline and oxidative stress in addition to UV exposure and elevated temperatures, and the individual chromatograms were overlaid using Empower® 3 Software to establish whether there was interference with the peaks of interest. The forced degradation studies demonstrated the selectivity of the method for the ARV compounds. The method was applied to assay and in vitro dissolution studies of commercially available tablets. The amount of each active ingredient released from Atripla® was determined and compared to the amount of each drug released from Aspen Efavirenz® and Truvada® (a combination of FTC and TNF). The percent FTC released from Atripla® and Truvada® was similar based on the acceptance criteria for immediate-release BCS class 1 compounds. Statistical analysis was undertaken to compare the dissolution profiles of FTC, TNF and EFV. The percent of these compounds released in these studies indicate that bioequivalence testing would be required to declare these products interchangeable. The validated RP-HPLC and in vitro dissolution test method are suitable for routine quality control testing of solid oral dosage forms containing EFV, FTC and TNF, and as the dissolution method can discriminate between different formulations of the same molecule, these tools can also be used for analysis during formulation development studies. The method is not suitable for the analysis of the ARV plasma due to lack of sensitivity and an inability to quantitate the compounds at the required concentration levels. The use of HPLC with mass spectroscopy for quantitation would enhance the sensitivity of the method and may eliminate the quantitation of the molecules in the presence of interference that was observed when using UV detection. Fixed dose combination tablets are convenient for patient therapy and it is likely that in the future more molecules will be formulated into such dosage forms. However formulations such as these can pose significant difficulties when developing and using analytical methods for the quantitation of all compounds in the dosage form at the same time, in particular when the compounds have vastly different physico-chemical properties that impact the quality of a separation and therefore the analysis. Therefore when embarking on the development of FDC product cognisance of the difficulties of developing single methods for the analyses is required and approaches to overcome these difficulties should be considered.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 08:54:37 SAST ]]> Neuroprotective mechanisms of nevirapine and efavirenz in a model of neurodegeneration https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3807 Thu 13 May 2021 08:45:04 SAST ]]> The natural product chemistry of South African Plocamium species https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3820 Thu 13 May 2021 08:21:27 SAST ]]> Workplace health promotion: a case of Rhodes University support staff https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:25414 Thu 13 May 2021 07:02:56 SAST ]]> Development and manufacture of sustained release captopril beads https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26602 Thu 13 May 2021 06:31:38 SAST ]]> The development and assessment of sustained release nevirapine tablets https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26598 Thu 13 May 2021 05:29:58 SAST ]]> Illustrated medicines information for HIV/AIDS patients: influence on adherence,self-efficacy and health outcomes https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3863 Thu 13 May 2021 04:54:19 SAST ]]> Investigation of α-aryl substituted 3-indolylethanones as potential antiplasmodial agents https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26704 Thu 13 May 2021 04:45:06 SAST ]]> Patient education : the effect on patient behaviour https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3790 Thu 13 May 2021 03:50:03 SAST ]]> Formulation, development and assessment of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-loaded pellets https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26600 Thu 13 May 2021 02:49:04 SAST ]]> The impact of HAART on sexuality and medicine taking behaviours among people living with HIV/AIDS in Grahamstown https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3750 Thu 13 May 2021 02:47:17 SAST ]]> The quantification of fucoxanthin from selected South African marine brown algae (Phaeophyta) using HPLC-UV/Vis https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3868 Thu 13 May 2021 02:18:46 SAST ]]> Foreign reference products in the registration of generic medicines in South Africa a case study https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3762 Thu 13 May 2021 02:10:24 SAST ]]> An illustrated information leaflet for low-literate HIV/AIDS patients on antiretroviral therapy : design, development and evaluation https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3834 Thu 13 May 2021 02:05:35 SAST ]]> Formulation, development and assessment of an orodispersible taste masked sildenafil film for paediatric use https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31466 Thu 13 May 2021 02:05:15 SAST ]]> Monitoring and evaluation indicators of the HIV & AIDS programme in Grahamstown's public sector health care system https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3770 Thu 13 May 2021 01:25:12 SAST ]]> An investigation into the feasibility of incorporating ketoconazole into solid lipid microparticles https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26601 5% w/v led to a reduction in DLC and EE and an increase in PS with minimal impact on the ZP.
