A Review: Method Development Validation and Degradation Studies of some Anticancer Drugs

This article reviews the various analytical methods reported so far in the literature for the determination of stability and impurity profile the lenalidomide and palbociclib anti cancer drugs in single or combination with other drugs in bulk, pharmaceutical dosage forms, biological fluids, stability indicating and impurity profiling methods. The analytical methods used for the estimation of lenalidomide and palbociclib anticancer drugs reviewed in this paper includes ultraviolet spectrophotometry,high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ,ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) ,liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and electrophoresis. This review focus on the effect of all chromatographic parameters so as to provide as fast, reliable and cost effective methodology of testing. Method development is the process of proving that analytical method is acceptable for use to measure the concentration of active pharmaceutical ingredient in a specific compound dosage form which must be validated to provide reliable data for regulatory submissions. This reviewed is mainly on analytical method development and validation, stability indicating methods, simultaneous estimation methods and bioanalytical methods. The review covers the time period from 2007 to 2019 during which analytical methods including all types of spectrophotometric and chromatographic techniques were reported. The Review covers lenalidomide and palbociclib API and formulation analytical and bioanalytical methods.
