About the University:
Nirma University, Ahmedabad was established in the year 2003 as a Statutory University under the Gujarat State Act at the initiative of the Nirma Education & Research Foundation(NERF). The University is also recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) under section 2(f) of the UGC Act. Institute of Pharmacy, Institute of Technology, Institute of Management, Institute of Diploma Studies, Institute of Science & Institute of Law are constituents of this University. The university is also accrediated by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). Nirma University is a provisional memeber of the Association of Indian Universities(AIU) and the Assoication of Commonwealth Universities (ACU).

Medical writing is part and parcel of drug development process. Medicomarketing communication or healthcare communication has evolved as a profession over a decade. More and more pharmaceutical industries are outsourcing their work to medicomarketing communication or healthcare communication companies/freelance medical writers.

ABSTRACT
The goal of this review is to provide a guide for understanding current MS technology. Mass spectrometry (MS) has progressed to become a powerful analytical tool for both quantitative and qualitative applications. Proteomics research, in particular, increasingly depends on MS technologies. Basically, any information gathered from a mass spectrometer comes from the analysis of gas-phase ions. There are three main components of a mass spectrometer: an ionization source, a mass analyzer and a detector the name ‘mass spectrometry’ is a misnomer of sorts. The mass is not what is measured; instead, mass spectrometry determines the mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio or a property related to m/z .A mass spectrum is a plot of ion abundance versus m/z, although in many cases the x-axis is labelled ‘mass’ rather than m/z. The spectrum is presented in terms of Daltons (Da) per unit charge The ability of mass spectrometry analyzing proteins and other biological extracts is due to the advances gained through the development of soft ionization techniques such as electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) that can transform biomolecules into ions. Regardless of the ionization source, the sensitivity of a mass spectrometer is related to the mass analyzer where ion separation occurs.

ABSTRACT
Analytical methods development and validation play important roles in the discovery, development and Manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Method development is the process of proving that an analytical method is acceptable for use to measure the concentration of an API in a specific compounded dosage form which allow simplified procedures to be employed to verify that an analysis procedure, accurately and consistently will deliver a reliable measurement of an active ingredient in a compounded preparation. The analytical method validation is essential for analytical method development and tested extensively for specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, range, detection limit, quantization limit, and robustness. In summary, analytical method development and validation allows to confirm that an accurate and reliable potency measurement of a pharmaceutical preparation can be performed.

ABSTRACT
Liquid chromatography (LC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful tool for qualitative and quantitative analytics of organic molecules from various matrices, and the use of this hyphenated technique is very common in bioanalytical laboratories. LC-MS is an analytical technique that couples high resolution chromatographic separation with sensitive and specific mass spectrometric detection. The technique is still fast developing, particularly in the mass spectrometry area, with vastly improved sensitivity and resolution. It is probably the most powerful technique currently available for pharmaceutical analysis. The role of LC/MS in the pharmaceutical industry during the past decade is examined, and key elements for recent success are illustrated to include significant advances in instrumentation, methodology, and application. The applications are highlighted with reference to the analysis opportunity and analysis strategy implemented. The applications of LC-MS to the studies of in vitro and in vivo drug metabolism, identification and characterization of impurities in pharmaceuticals, analysis of chiral impurities in drug substances and high-throughput LC-MS-MS systems for applications in the "accelerated drug discovery" process are described.

Applications are invited from qualified and suitable candidates to work at ART Centre in various districts of A.P. Interested Candidates can send their biodata duly specify the Name and Post applied, along with copies of their qualification and experience certificates to the address of Concerned Medical Superintendent, of the respective Hospitals (RIMS/District Hospital /Area Hospital/Government General Hospital.)

ABSTRACT
A novel stability-indicating RP-HPLC method has been develop and validated for quantitative analysis of Sitagliptin in the bulk drug and in its pharmaceutical dosage forms using Hypersil–BDS- C18 column (250x4.6mmi.d, 5µ particle size) with 10mM Phosphate buffer (PH-3.5): ACN 60:40%v/v as isocratic mobile phase enabled separation of the drug from its degradation products. UV detection was performed at 260 nm. The method was validated for linearity, accuracy (recovery), precision, sensitivity, ruggedness and robustness. The linearity of the method was excellent over the range 10–60μg/ml (correlation coefficient 0.999). The limits of detection and quantification were 0.21 and 0.640μg/ml, respectively. Recovery of Sitagliptinfrom the pharmaceutical dosage form ranged from 99.99 to 100.05%.

Sitagliptin was subjected to stress conditions (Hydrolysis (acid, base), oxidation,thermal and photo degradation) and the stressed samples were analysed by use of the method. Degradation was observed in acid, base, and 30% H2O2. The drug was stable under the other stress conditions investigated. The degradation products were well resolved from main peak. The forced degradation studies prove the stability indicating power of the method.
