ABSTRACT
A simple, accurate and precise spectroscopic method was developed for simultaneous estimation of Itopride Hydrochloride and Lansoprazole in synthetic mixture using first order derivative zero-crossing method. Itopride Hydrochlorideshowed zero crossing point at 278.12nmwhile Lansoprazole showed zero crossing point at 244.58nm. The dA/dλ was measured at 244.12 nm for Itopride Hydrochloride and 278.12nmfor Lansoprazole and calibration curves were plotted as dA/dλ versus concentration, respectively. The method was found to be linear (r2>0.999) in the range of 5-25μg/ml for Itopride Hydrochloride at 244.58nm. The linear correlation was obtained (r2>0.996) in the range of 5-25 μg/ml for Lansoprazole at 278.12 nm. The limit of determination was 0.155μg/ml and 0.059μg/ml forItopride Hydrochloride and Lansoprazole, respectively. The limit of quantification was 0.472μg/ml and 0.179μg/ml for Itopride Hydrochloride and Lansoprazolerespectively. The accuracy of these method were evaluated by recovery studies and good recovery result were obtained greater than 99% shows first order derivation zero crossing. The method was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of Itopride Hydrochloride and Lansoprazolein binary mixture.

INTRODUCTION
Itopride has anticholinesterase (AchE) activity as well as dopamine D2 receptor antagonistic activity and is being used for the symptomatic treatment of various gastrointestinal motility disorders. It  is  well  established  that  M3  receptors  exist  on  the  smooth  muscle  layer throughout the gut and acetylcholine (ACh) released from enteric nerve endings stimulates the contraction of smooth muscle through M3 receptors.Itopride, by virtue of its dopamine D2 receptor antagonism, removes the inhibitory effects on Ach release. It also inhibits the enzyme AchE which prevents the degradation of Ach. The net effect is an increase in ACh concentration, which in turn, promotes gastric motility, increases the lower esophageal sphincter pressure, accelerates gastric emptying and improves gastro-duodenal coordination. This dual mode of action of Itopride is unique and different   from   the   actions   of   other   prokinetic   agents   available   in   the   market. Chemically N-[[4-[2-(Dimethyl amino) ethoxy] phenyl] methyl]-3, 4-dimethoxy benzamide hydrochloride. Itopride Hydrochloride is white amorphous powder having molecular weight 394.93 g/mol.(1)

FIG. 1 CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF ITOPRIDE HYDROCHLORIDE

Lansoprazole belongs to a class of antisecretory compounds, the substituted benzimidazoles, that do not exhibit anticholinergic or histamine H2-receptor antagonist properties, but rather suppress gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the (H+,K+)-ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell. Because this enzyme system is regarded as the acid (proton) pump within the parietal cell, Lansoprazole has been characterized as a gastric acid-pump inhibitor, in that it blocks the final step of acid production. This effect is dose-related and leads to inhibition of both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion irrespective of the stimulus.Chemically 2-([3-methyl-4-(2, 2, 2-trifluoroethoxy) pyridin-2-yl] methylsulfinyl)-1 H-benzimidazole. Lansoprazole is White to brownish-white odorless crystalline powder having molecular weight 369.37 g/mol.(2,3)

FIG. 2 CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF LANSOPRAZOLE

The review of literature regarding quantitative analysis of Itopride Hydrochloride and Lansoprazole revealed that no Simultaneous Equation method attempt was made to develop analytical methods forItopride Hydrochloride and Lansoprazole. Some spectrometric methods and chromatographic methods have been reported for the estimation of the individual and combination of drugs(4-11). The focus of the present study was to develop and validate a rapid, stable, specific, and economic Spectroscopic method for the estimation of Itopride Hydrochloride and Lansoprazole in Synthetic Mixture.

Thus obtained spectra were then processed to obtain first-derivative spectra.
First order derivative spectrum for ITO showed zero crossing point: 244.58nm. The wavelength selected for estimation of ITO was 244.58nm because it showed r2>0.999 at this wavelength in mixture.
First order derivative spectrum for LAN showed zero crossing point:278.12 nm. The wavelength selected for estimation of LAN was 278.12 nm because it showed r2>0.996 at this wavelength in mixture (Figure 3)

Calibrationcurvesfor Itopride Hydrochloride:
This series consisted of six concentrations of standard ITO solution ranging from 5 to 30μg/ml. The solutions were prepared by pipetting out Standard ITO stock solution (100μg/ml). Then pipetting out (0.5ml, 1.0ml, 1.5ml, 2.0ml, and 2.5ml) was transferred into a series of 10 ml volumetric flask and volume was adjusted up to mark with methanol. A zero order derivative spectrum of the resulting solution was recorded and processed to first derivative spectra, measured the absorbance at 244.60 nm against a reagent blank solution (Methanol). Calibration curve was prepared by plotting absorbance versus respective concentration of ITO.

This series consisted of five concentrations of standard LAN solution ranging from 5 to 30μg/ml.

Limit of Detection and Limit of Quantification
The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the method were evaluated by standard deviation of response and slope method. LOQ and LOD were calculated by the equation LOD = 3.3 × N/B and LOQ = 10 × N/B, where “N” is standard deviation of the absorbance, and “B” is the slope of the corresponding calibration curve. The limit of detection (LOD) were found to be 0.233μg/ml for ITO and 0.706μg/ml for LAN and respectively and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were found to be 0.162μg/ml for ITO and 0.491μg/ml for LAN presented in Table 6.
