1.0 Introduction
Introduction
Drug characterization work is for evidential purpose, it is advantageous to obtain as much information on a drug sample is possible. Carrying out the characterization study, it relies mainly on chemical and physical examination. The most appropriate approach for drug characterization depends on the type of sample like tablets, capsules etc. The most simple and convenient type of investigation is a visual inspection of the physical examination of the sample. The colour, odour or general appearance of sample can be observed. And other parameters are observed for their characteristics. Other parameters like polymorphic form, functional group analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance study and their HPLC study. 1 Today a most of the drugs used are of synthetic origin. These are produced in bulk and used for their therapeutic effects in pharmaceutical formulations. The safety of a drug is determined by its pharmacological/toxicological profile as well as the adverse effects caused by the impurities in bulk and dosage forms. The impurities in drugs generally possess unwanted pharmacological or toxicological effects by which any benefit from their administration may be outweighed. Therefore, it is quite obvious that the products intended for human consumption must be characterized as completely as possible. Thus, the analytical activities concerning impurities in drugs and their relative amount present in drug substance are among the most important issues in modern pharmaceutical analysis. 2 According to various regulatory authorities like ICH, USFDA, MHRA etc, have imposed various guidelines regarding impurities for a drug substances. These guidelines are recommends the acceptable amounts for residual solvents in pharmaceuticals for the safety of the patient. These guidelines are recommends use of less toxic solvents and describe levels considered to be toxicologically acceptable for some residual solvents and other impurities. The guidelines are intended to provide guidance for registration applications on the content and qualification of impurities in new drug substances (NDAs) and Abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) produced by chemical syntheses and not previously registered in a region. It is not intended to apply to new drug and abbreviated new drug substances used during the clinical research stage of development.

Impurities in drug materials should addresses from two perspectives:
Introduction
1. Chemistry Aspects includes classification and identification of impurities, report generation, listing of impurities in specifications, and a in brief discussion of analytical procedures.3 2. Safety Aspects include specific guidance for qualifying these impurities which were not present at all, or were present at significantly lower levels, in batches of a new drug substance used in safety and clinical studies. 3 Macleods pharmaceutical Ltd. is involved in manufacturing and marketing of the various classes of therapeutic agents in global market. And so an anti retro viral drug in tablet dosage form from Macleods pharmaceutical required proper impurity profiling of the drug substance for ANDA filling. So the present research work describes the characterization and impurity profiling of the same..

Analysis of drug product or pharmaceutical product is important as it concerned with life. Quality must be built in from the initial stage, to the time it is finally made and sent out. Analytical chemistry is mainly concerned about determining the qualitative and quantitative composition of material under study. Analysis of pharmaceutical products or of specific ingredients within the product is necessary to ensure its safety and efficacy throughout all phases of its shelf life.4 Pharmaceutical analysis mainly deals with separations, identification and
determination of the relative amount of the component in a sample material. Analytical monitoring of pharmaceutical product or of specific ingredients within product is required to ensure safety and efficacy throughout shelf life, including storage, distribution and use.5 To determine the drug problems satisfactory it is necessary to identify the conspiracy which could done by characterization and impurity profiling of the drug. Impurity profiling helps in accepting or rejecting the API batch. Organic impurities can arise during the formulation process and storage of the drug substances and the criteria for their acceptance up to certain limits are based on pharmaceutical studies or known safety aspects. According to various regulatory guidelines, the pharmaceutical investigation using a sample of the isolated impurities can be considered for safety assessment. It is, so, essential to isolate and characterize unidentified impurities present in the drug sample.4 2.1 Introduction to Analytical Methods There are various methods of analysis which can be broadly classified into two categories; Classical methods and Instrumental methodsClassical Methods5,6,7 1. Volumetric method: It is based on the determination of a solution of known strength required to complete a chemical reaction with the substance under analysis. 2. Gravimetric method: In this method of analysis, the assay results generally obtained either by determining the weight of a substance in the sample, or the weight of some other substance derived from the sample, the equivalent weight of which gives as the basis for calculation. .

Instrumental Methods of Chemical Analysis
Literature survey
Instrumental methods are part of chemical analysis that interacts with all areas of chemistry and with many other areas of pure and applied sciences. Analytical Instruments plays an important role in the formulation and analysis of new products. This instrumentation provides lower detection limits (LOD) required to assure regarding safety of foods, drugs, and water. Instrumental methods are widely used by Analytical scientists to utilize time smartly, and to obtain highest possible accuracy. Most instrumental techniques fit into one of the principal areas like spectroscopy, electrochemistry, chromatography and miscellaneous techniques.6 Most instrumental techniques are based one of the four-principle areas Spectrophotometric techniques UV and Visible Spectrophotometry Fluorescence Spectrophotometry Phosphorescence Spectrophotometry Atomic Spectrophotometry (emission &absorption) Infrared Spectrophotometry Raman Spectrophotometry X-Ray Spectrophotometry Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Mass Spectroscopy Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy Electrochemical Techniques Potentiometry Voltametry Electrogravimetry Conductometry Amperomertry Chromatographic Techniques High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Gas chromatography (GC) High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) Paper chromatography

2.2 Chromatography Chromatography is unique in the history of analytical methodology and is probably the most powerful and technique available in the modern analysis. It can able to separate a mixture into its individual components simultaneously and determine quantitatively the amount of each component present.8 Principle Chromatography is a non-destructive procedure for resolving multi-component mixture of trace, minor and major constituents into its individual fractions. Chromatography is primarily a separation tool. The technique of chromatography is based on the difference in the rate at which components of a mixture move through a stationary phase under the effect of some solvent or gas (mobile phase). Between the two phases of this system, phase equilibrium is obtained for all the components of the mixture. The separation may be successful only if the equilibrium constants of all these components have reasonable value. If they are too small (too small path length), then compounds travel with almost equal velocity to that of a solvent and their complete separation could not achieve. If the constants are too large, then they cannot leave the column. Temperature, the nature of the solid surface and the nature and composition of mobile phase, combinable affects the equilibrium constant. If solid phase is an adsorbent, its specific surface area and pore volume are critical factor. The fluid used as the mobile phase may be liquid, gas or a super-critical liquid. Thus three possible types of chromatography are liquid chromatography, gas chromatography and super-critical chromatography 9

Figure 2. 1- Separation Process in Chromatography Source: ETS laboratories, http://www.etslabs.com 2.2.1 High Performance Liquid Chromatography In HPLC, for separation of individual components, the sample is being introduced into flowing stream of mobile phase which is liquid in case of HPLC, and the analytes are allowed to pass through a column layer of packing material of small diameters (so large surface area can be obtained), called stationary phase. As the analyte molecules pass through the column, along with the moving mobile phase, there is continuous interaction of the analyte molecules with the stationary phases as well as with the mobile phase. This process is finally results in a dynamic equilibrium. The differences in the equilibrium processes of the different solute molecules results in the separation of components from the mixture.8 Liquid Partition Chromatography is of two types6 Normal Phase Chromatography (NPC) Reversed Phase Chromatography (RPC) 1. Normal Phase chromatography- The stationary phase is polar and mobile phase is nonpolar. In this case, solute elution is based on the principle that non-polar solute prefer mobile phase and elute earlier and polar solute prefer the stationary phase and elute later. 2. Reverse Phase chromatography- The stationary phase is non-polar and mobile phase is polar. The solute elution is reversing of that of normal phase i.e. polar elute earlier as compared to non-polar which elute later.

Components of HPLC8 Typical HPLC instrument consists of the following main componentsA) Solvent Reservoirs This provides storage of sufficient amount of HPLC solvents for continuous operation of the system which is equipped with an online degasser system and special filters to isolate the solvent from the influence of the environment. B) Pump This assures the constant and continuous flow of the mobile phase through the system.

C) Injector
Literature survey
This allows injection of the analytes mixture into the stream of the mobile phase before it enters the column; most modern injectors are auto samplers, which allow programmed injections of different volumes of samples that are withdrawn from the vials in the auto sampler tray. D) Column This is the main part of HPLC system; it actually produces a separation of the analytes from the mixture. A column is the place where the mobile phase is in contact with the stationary phase. Most of the chromatography development in now a days went toward the design of many different ways to increase this interfacial contact. E) Detector This is a device for continuous recording of specific physical properties of the column effluent. The very common detector used by the pharmaceutical analysis are UV detectors allows monitoring and continuous recording of the UV absorbance at a selected wavelength or over a span of wavelengths (DAD). Flow of the analyte in the detector flow cell causes the change of the absorbance. If the analyte absorbs more than the background (mobile phase), a positive signal is obtained.8 F) Data Acquisition and Control System Computer-based mechanism that controls all parameters of HPLC instrument like eluent composition, mixing of different solvents, temperature, injection sequence, etc and acquires data from the detector and monitors system performance.

2.3 Ultra violet spectroscopy
Literature survey
The wavelength range of UV radiation starts at blue end of the visible light and extended up to 2000. The ultraviolet region is subdivided into following two spectral regions: Table 2 2- UV regions Wavelength 2000 2000- 4000 Region Near UV region Vacuum UV region
Ultraviolet absorption spectra arise from transition of electron or electrons within a molecule or an ion from a lower to a higher electronic energy level (ground state to excited state) and ultraviolet emission spectra arise from the reverse type of transition (excited state to ground state). For radiation to cause electronic excitation, it must be in the UV region of the electromagnetic spectrum.4 2.3.1 Theory of spectrophotometry4 Lamberts law: This law can be stated as follows: When a beam of light is allowed to pass through the transparent medium, the rate of decreasing of intensity with the thickness of medium is directly proportional to the intensity of light. T = I / Io A = -log T = - log (I / Io) Beers law This law can be stated as follows: When a beam of light is allowed to pass through the transparent medium, the rate of increasing of concentration is directly proportional to the intensity of light.

T = C / Co A = -log T = - log (C / Co) Beers and Lamberts law
Literature survey
This combine law shows that there exists a logarithmic relationship between the transmittance and the length of the optical path through the sample. And similar relationship holds between transmittance and the concentration of the solution that means the intensity of a beam of monochromatic light decreases exponentially with the increase in concentration of the absorbing substance arithmetically. 2.4 X-ray difractrometer (XRD) About 95% of all solid materials can be classified as crystalline substance. When Xrays are interacting with a crystalline substance, a unique diffraction pattern is obtained. The X-ray diffraction pattern of a pure substance is, so, like a fingerprint of the substance. The powder diffraction method is thus generally employed for characterization and identification of polycrystalline substances.10 Solid matter can be described as1. Amorphous: The atoms are arranged in a random way similar to the arrangement disorder found in a liquid. Glasses are amorphous materials.
2. Crystalline: The atoms are arranged in a very regular pattern, and there is as smallest volume element that by repetition in three dimensions (X, Y, and Z axis) describes as the crystal. X-rays can be produced by the bombardment of a target with stream of high energy particles such as 20 to 50 KeV electrons or nuclear particles from a radioactive source such as copper (Cu). A typical X-ray generator uses an evacuated tube into which the target projects as a cooled anode together with a tungsten filament as a cathode. The impact of the bombarding particles on the target is non-selective and produces a wide range of energy transitions and continuously emits the of X-ray.10

Figure 2. 3- X-ray diffraction Technique Source: Scintag, Inc. Basics of X-ray difraction 2.5 Differential Scanning calorimeter (DSC) The basic principle underlying this technique is that when the material undergoes a physical transformation such as phase transition, more or less heat is needed to flow to it than the reference to maintain both at the same temperature. In this case more or less heat must flow to the material depends on whether the process is exothermic or endothermic. For example, as a solid sample melts to a liquid it requires more heat flow to the sample to increase its temperature at the same rate as the reference. This is because of the absorption of heat by the sample as it undergoes the endothermic phase transition from solid to liquid. Likewise, as the material undergoes exothermic processes less heat is required to raise the sample temperature. By detecting the difference in heat flow between the sample and reference, differential scanning calorimeter are able to measure the amount of heat absorbed or released during such transitions. DSC may also utilize for observing more subtle physical changes, such as glass transitions. It is widely used in pharmaceutical industries as a quality control tool due to its applicability in evaluating sample purity and for studying polymer curing. Instrumentation In DSC, a sample and a reference is placed in the instrument. Heaters are either ramp the temperature at specified rate (10C/min or 5C/min or any other) and the instrument records the difference in the heat flow between the sample and the reference. The plotted graph obtained from the DSC is called the Thermogram. Thermogram usually shows various

phases of thermal reaction like endothermic or exothermic reaction. With the endothermic reaction it shows negative peak and with the exothermic reaction it shows positive peak.

2.6 Infrared spectroscopy (IR)
Literature survey
The infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum extends from 800 nm to 1mm and is subdivided into far infrared, near infrared, and very near infrared. The fundamental region between 2 to 15m is the region that provides the greatest information for the elucidation of molecular functional groups. Particular groups in the molecule, e.g. Hydroxyl, carbonyl and amines have characteristic absorption frequencies known as group frequencies, which are almost independent of the nature of the rest of the molecules.11,12 Table 2 3- IR regions Region Wavelength

2.6.1 Modes of vibrations In a polyatomic molecule, each atom is having three degree of freedom in three directions which are perpendicular to each other. So polyatomic molecule requires three times as many degree of freedom as the number of its atom. Thus a molecule of n atoms has 3n degree of freedom.11 Non- linear molecule- it has 3n-6 vibrational degree of freedom. Linear molecule- it has 3n-5 vibrational degree of freedom. Normal vibrations are divided into two parts 1. Stretching vibrations 2. Bending vibrations11

Stretching vibrations
Literature survey
The atoms move essentially along the bond axis. This vibrations corresponding to the one dimensional motion, so there will be n-1 stretching vibrations for non cyclic systems. Bending vibrations In this type, there occurs a change in bond angles between bond with a common atom or there occurs a movement of group of atoms with respect to the remainder of the molecule without movement of the atoms in group with respect to one another.

Monochromators The radiation source emits the radiation of various frequencies. As the sample in IR spectroscopy absorbs only at some specific frequencies, it therefore becomes necessary to select desired frequencies from the radiation sources and reject the radiation of other frequencies. This selection has been achieved by means of monochromators, which are major two types. 1. Prism Monochromators 2. Grating Monochromators Sample cells As IR spectroscopy has been used for the characterization of solid, liquid or gas samples. It is evident that samples of different phases have to treat differently. But the common point to the sampling of different phases is that the material containing the sample must be transparent to the radiation like NaCl.

Detectors Except in the near IR, where a photoconductivity cell is generally used. There is no better choice than thermal detectors. As the radiant power is low for the IR region, it means that the detectors signal will also be low. In order to locate this low signals, a preamplifier is fixed to the detector and radiation beam is modulated with a low frequencies light interrupter. Thus to detect such signals, thermal detectors must possess a short response time and the absorbed heat must be lost rapidly. The latter condition is most difficult requirement because heat transfer is not a quick process. The various types of detectors used in IR spectroscopy are

There is no rigid rule for the interpretation of the IR spectra. Certain requirement however, must be met before starting of interpretation of IR spectra. 1. The spectrum must be adequately resolved and of adequately intensity. 2. The spectrum should be of pure compound. 3. Proper calibration should be made with reliable standards such as polystyrene film

Mass spectrometry is the analytical technique in which mixture of gaseous ions were separated according to their mass-charge (m/z) ratios. A mass spectrum is a plot of relative pressure or concentration of the gaseous components as a function of the mass-charge.9 Mass spectrometry is capable of providing information on The element composition of the sample of matter.

The function of the ionic sources is to convert the gaseous sample molecules to ions which can be separated in the mass analyzer based on their m/z, because the energy that is required for conversion significantly differ the molecules. The major types of ionic methods of ionization are Electron- bombardment ionization (EI), Arc and spark ionization, Photo ionization, Thermal ionization, Chemical ionization. Mass analyzer9 Several devices are available for separating ions with different mass to charge ratios. Ideally, the mass analyzer should be able to distinguishing minute mass differences. Mass analyzer allows passage of a sufficient number of ions to yield readily measurable ion currents. Magnetic sector analyzer, Quadrupole mass spectrometers, TOF (time of flight) mass analyzers, Ion trap analyzers. Mass spectrometry is widely used for the characterization and analysis of high molecular mass polymeric materials.

2.8 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
Literature survey
Nuclei have positive (+ve) charges; many nuclei behave as when they were spinning. Anything that is charged and moves has a magnetic moment and generates a magnetic field. So, a spinning nucleus acts as a tiny bar magnet oriented along the spin rotation axis. This tiny magnet is often called a nuclear spin. If this small magnet when puts in the field of a much larger magnet, its orientation will no longer be random but it is organized. There will be one most probable orientation. However, if the tiny magnet is oriented precisely 180 in the opposite direction, that position could also be maintained. In scientific way, the most favourable orientation is of the low-energy state and the less favourable orientation is of the high-energy state. This two-state description is appropriate for most nuclei of biologic interest including 1H, 13C, 15N, 19F, and 31P; so all those which have nuclear spin quantum number I = l/2. It is a main quantum mechanical requirement that any individual nuclear spins of a nucleus with I = l/2 be in one of the two states whenever the nuclei are in a magnetic field. It is important to note that the most common isotopes of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen (12C, 14N and 16O) do not have a nuclear spin because of their spin quantum no is zero. 16

The resonance phenomenon
Literature survey
The small nuclear magnet may spontaneously "flip'' from one orientation (energy state) to the other as the nucleus lies in the large magnetic field. This relatively infrequent event is illustrated at the left of Figure 10. However, if energy equal to the difference in energies (DE) of the two nuclear spin orientations is applied to the nucleus (or more realistically, group of nuclei), much more flipping between energy levels is induced (Figure 10). The irradiation energy is in the RF range and is typically applied as a short (e.g., many microseconds) pulse. The absorption of energy by the nuclear spins causes transitions from higher to lower energy as well as from lower to higher energy. This two-way flipping is a hallmark of the resonance process. The energy absorbed by the nuclear spins induces a voltage that can be detected by a suitably tuned coil of wire, amplified, and the signal displayed as free induction decay (FID). Relaxation processes (vide infra) eventually return the spin system to thermal equilibrium, which occurs in the absence of any further perturbing RF pulses. The energy required to induce flipping and obtain an NMR signal is just the energy difference between the two nuclear orientations and is shown in Figure 11 to depend on the strength of the magnetic field Bo in which the nucleus is placed
Where h is Planck's constant (6.63 x 10-27 erg sec). The Bohr condition (DE = hn) enables the frequency no of the nuclear transition to be written as
Equation is often referred to as the Larmor equation, Table lists the gyromagnetic ratios for several nuclei of interest.17

Source:Fundamentals of NMR. San Francisco : Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of California, 1998. At magnetic field strengths used in NMR experiments the frequencies unperturbed, there will be infrequent flips of individual nuclear spins between the two different energy levels. When a radiofrequency (RF) pulse with appropriate energy is applied (i.e., equal to the difference in energies of the two levels), transitions between the two energy levels will be induced, i.e., the nuclear spin system will "resonate"; the spin system absorbs the energy. Following the RF pulse, a signal termed free induction decay or FID can be detected as a result of the voltage induced in the sample by the energy absorption. Eventually the nuclear spin system relaxes to the thermal equilibrium situation necessary to fulfil the resonance condition are in the RF range; e.g. in a magnetic field of 14.1 T the transition frequency no for 1H is 600 MHz, for 15N is 60.8 MHz and for 13C is 151 MHz. As earlier stated that small bar magnet (nuclear spin) could be oriented in one of two ways. The extent to which one orientation (energy state) is favoured over the other depends on the strength of the small nuclear magnet (proportional to gyromagnetic ratio) and the strength of the strong magnetic field Bo in which it is placed. In practice, there is not one nucleus in a magnetic field. Rather a huge number (approaching Avogadro's number) of nuclei are in the sample that is placed in a magnetic field. The distribution of nuclei in the different energy states (i.e., orientations of nuclear magnets) under conditions in which the nuclear spin system is unperturbed by application of any RF energy is given by the Boltzmann equation

where Nupper and Nlower represent the population (i.e., number) of nuclei in upper and lower energy states, respectively, k is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the absolute temperature (K). As increasing magnetic field on the population of spin states, the distribution of a small number (about two million) of hydrogen nuclei, calculated from above Equation, is shown in Figure 11. For protons in an 18.8 T magnetic field (no = 800 MHz) at thermal equilibrium at room temperature, the population ratio will be 0.999872. That means for every 1,000,000 nuclei in the upper energy state there are 1,000,128 nuclei in the lower energy state. Without this small excess number of nuclei in the lower energy state, it would not have NMR.17

Sensitivity
----0.00277 -----------------
Such a small population difference presents a significant sensitivity problem for NMR because only the difference in populations (i.e., 128 of 2,000,128 nuclei) is detected; the others effectively cancel one another. The low sensitivity of NMR, which has its origin here, is probably its greatest limitation for applications to pharma analysis. As seen from above Equations, the use of stronger magnetic fields will increase the population ratio and, consequently, the sensitivity. Different nuclei have different inherent sensitivities; the relative sensitivities are listed in Table. It should be noted that other factors are also important in detection sensitivity. For example, for macromolecules or small molecules that interact with macromolecules, increasing magnetic field strength often increase relaxation times that can adversely affect sensitivity (vide infra).17

Literature survey
The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio in an NMR experiment will be enhanced as the number of nuclei in the lower energy state relative to the upper energy state increases. In addition to increasing magnetic field strength, this can be achieved by increasing the number of nuclei in the sample, e.g., by raising the concentration (without causing molecular aggregation) or by increasing the volume of the sample detected. For most types of experiments, the magnetic field strength should be uniform across the sample; to the extent that it is not, the different nuclei in a sample will achieve the Larmor condition at different frequencies leading to a broader signal in the NMR spectrum with a lower S/N ratio. The geometry of the receiver coil used in detecting the NMR signal also has an effect. For biological samples, the high dielectric constant leads to additional signal loss. Above Table gives approximately the amount and concentration needed for structural studies on nucleic acids, polysaccharides and proteins in the size range 3-25 kilodaltons.17 2.8.1 C13 NMR The spin quantum number for C12 is equal to zero. and so it does gives NMR signal. But C13 has quantum number is and so its NMR can be observed in 23500 gauss of magnetic field at 25.2 megacycles per second. In this technique strong pulse of radio frequency covering a large band of frequencies which is capable to excite all resonance of intrest at once. At the end of pulse period, the nuclei will presses freely with their characteristic frequencies.17 Each C13 resonance in organic molecule is spin coupled not only to the directly attached proton but also to the proton which are two or four bonds away. The value of coupling constant for C13 is over 125cps. So spectra appear as multiplets with unresolved signals. Each signal is appears as a broad peak. The complexity in the spectrum further increases by the overlap of multiplets due to the large number of C-H coupling.13 The CNMR spectra detects 1. Total number of protons 2. Total number of carbon, and 3. Presence of carbonyl group. The state of hybridization is the dominating factor determining the chemical shift of a carbon atom. Sp3 hybrid carbon atom absorbs upfield while sp2 carbon atoms absorbs at lower field strength. Sp2 sp sp3

DEPT spectrum distinguished between CH, -CH2, -CH3 group. The novel feature in the DEPT is variable proton pulse are set at 45, 90, 135 in three separate experiment. The intensity of signal for individual pulses expends on the number of proton attached to the particular carbon. In the spectra CH3 and CH shows peaks at the above side CH3 peak to the downwards side. And quaternary carbon is not recorded in the DEPT. but it is detected in normal C13 NMR spectra.11 2.8.3 D- Exchange NMR Substitution of D (Deuterium) for H (Hydrogen) results in dimunation of height of C 13 signal in a broad band decoupled spectrum. This happens because D has a spin number of a 1 and its magnetic moment is that of 15% H1, it will split C13 absorption into three lines. And so because of decreased dipole dipole relaxation, Nuclear overhausar effect (NOE) is lost. There may be chances of observing separate peak for any residual C-H. the isotope effect may also slightly shift the absorption of the carbon atoms once removed from the deuterated carbon.6 2.9 Impurity Profiling Today most of the drugs are synthesized chemically. They are produced in bulk and used for their therapeutic effects in pharmaceutical formulations. There are biologically active chemical compounds generally formulated into convenient dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, suspensions, ointments and injectables. These formulations deliver the drug products in a stable, non-toxic and in patient compliance form, ensuring its bio-availability and therapeutic activity. Quality, safety and efficacy of drugs Safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals are two fundamental issues of importance in medicinal therapy. The safety of medicines is determined by its pharmacological/toxicological profile as well as the adverse effects caused by the impurities in bulk and dosage forms. The impurities in drug substances often possess unwanted pharmacological or toxicological effects by which any benefit from their administration may be outweighed. Therefore, it is quite obvious that the products intended for human consumption must be characterized as completely as possible. The quality and safety of a drug is normally assured by monitoring and controlling the impurities effectively. Thus, the analysis concerning impurities in drugs is among the most important issues in modern pharmaceutical analysis. 2

2.9.1 Origin of Impurities
Literature survey
Impurities in drugs are originated from various sources and phases of the synthetic process and preparation of pharmaceutical formulations. A exact difference between the process-related impurities and degradation products is always not possible. But, majority of the impurities are characteristic of the synthetic route of the manufacturing process. Since there are several possibilities of synthesizing a drug, it is sometimes possible that the same product of different sources may give rise to different impurities.18 1.9.2 Need for Impurity Profiling Control is more important today than ever. Until the beginning of the 20th century, drug formulations were produced and sold having no imposed control. Thereupon the Food, Drug and Cosmetic act was revised requiring advance proof of safety and various other controls for new drugs. The impurities to be considered for new drugs are listed in regulatory documents of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), International Conference on the Harmonization of the Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP). Nevertheless, there are many drugs in existence, which have not been studied in such detail. The USP and National Formulary (NF) are the recognized standards for potency and purity of new drugs. The most critical aspect of the elaboration of the guidelines was the definition of the levels of impurities for identification and qualification.3 2.9.3 Classification of Impurities3 Impurities can be classified in the following categories Organic Impurities (Process and Drug Related) Inorganic Impurities Residual Solvents Organic Impurities It may arise during the manufacturing process and/or storage of the drug material. They are identified or unidentified, volatile or non volatile, and it includes: Starting materials By-products Intermediates Degradation products

They are normally known and identified and include: Reagents, ligands, and catalysts Heavy metals Inorganic salts Other materials (e.g., filter aids, charcoal) Residual Solvents Residual solvents are organic or inorganic liquids used during the manufacturing process. Due to these are generally known for their toxicity, the selection of appropriate controls is easily accomplished.

The level of any impurity present in a drug substance that is in compliance with a USP specification or has been adequately evaluated in comparative or in vitro genotoxicity studies or has been evaluated via an acceptable Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) database program is considered as qualified for ANDAs application. Impurities which are also significant metabolites do not need further qualification, If data are unavailable to qualify the proposed acceptance criteria of an impurity, studies to obtain such data could be needed when the usual qualification threshold levels given below are exceeded.3

It inhibits the activity of HIV reverse transcriptase by competing with the natural substrate deoxyadenosine 5triphosphate and, after incorporating into DNA, by DNA chain termination. Specifically, the drug molecules are analogues of the naturally occurring deoxynucleotides required to synthesize the viral DNA and they compete with the natural
deoxynucleotides for incorporation into the growing viral DNA chain. but, unlike the natural deoxynucleotides substrates,
Mechanism of Action
NRTIs and NtRTIs (nucleoside/tide reverse transcriptase inhibitors) lack a 3'-hydroxyl group on the deoxyribose moiety. so, following incorporation of an NRTI or an NtRTI, the next incoming deoxynucleotide could not form the next 5'-3' phosphodiester bond required to extend the DNA chain. Thus, when an NRTI or NtRTI are incorporated, viral DNA synthesis is halted, this process known as chain termination. All NRTIs and NtRTIs are classified as competitive substrate inhibitors.

The presence of impurities or in a drug substance can have a significant impact on the quality and safety of the drug product. Impurities in drug substance can arise from degradation of API itself, which is related to stability of pure API during storage, and the manufacturing process including the chemical synthesis. Process impurities, includes unreacted starting materials, chemical derivatives of impurities, synthetic by-products and degradation products etc. In addition to stability, which is a factor in shelf-life of API, purity of API is also necessary for commercially. Purity standards are established to ensure that API is free of impurities as possible and thus safe for clinical use. It is, therefore, essential to isolate and characterize unidentified impurities present in the drug sample. 3.1 Objectives 1. API characterization using spectroscopic techniques. 2. Method development (Chromatographic parameters) 3. Impurity isolation and characterization.

5.2.5 Source of impurities
In both the impurities, one molecule is main API skeleton and other molecule is monoester and they are linked through CH2 group in between their terminal NH2 roup of Adenine moiety. On storage and forced degradation these impurities cannot be formed because as additional -CH2 group is required to react with APIs Disoproxil and Isoproxil molecule (based on reaction scheme). Hence on the basis of structural evaluations, these impurities are concluded as process related impurities.

6.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The provided drug substance API-X was firstly characterized for the its absorbance maxima by UV absorbance, its polymorphic form by XRD, functional group analysis by IR spectroscopy, thermal reaction by DSC and its NMR and MASS spectrometry. Among several impurities present in the API-X, two unidentified impurities eluting near 28.124, 60.020 mins were identified by using NMR, MASS spectrometry and preparative isolation. For that initially a LC-MS method was developed by taking the analytical HPLC method as a reference as pH 6 Ammonium acetate used as a buffer and by taking buffer and methanol, butanol as mobile phase in the gradient flow. And after obtaining their Masses from LCMS data, they are isolated with preparative HPLC and the isolated impurities were confirmed by the use of NMR and MASS spectrometry. Absorbance maxima (max) for API-X was observed at the 260nm, it shows X-ray diffraction was shows major peaks at 2theta value of 4.9, 10.2, 7.7, 8.0 0.2. and its melting point was observed at 11.89C. The API-X contains the OH, -CH, -NH, -C=O, P=O groups and its NMR was recorded and structure was confirmed and it was correlated with Mass data. Two isolated impurities were studied for NMR and Mass ad their structures were identified. And then the sources for the two impurities were identified. In conclusion, the API was characterized and two impurities were confirmed with their structures and they were found to be process related impurities.
