Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and light can potentially affect product quality and requires establishing a re-test period for the drug substance or a shelf-life for the drug product and recommended storage conditions. Companies rely on the stability data to establish an expiry for marketed pharmaceutical products. To investigate potential stability issues of the drug in AMECA tablet, accelerated and intermediated stability studies were carried out according to ICH guidelines at 30 0 C+2 0 C/65%RH+ 5%RH and 40 0 C+2 0 C/75%RH+5%RH for six. Stability studies were carried out using programmable environmental test chamber CHM-10s, serial no. ICH-2530 and ICH 2531 (Remi instrument Ltd, Mumbai) and assay was carried out by using HPLC (Jasco) method which has been developed previously. The stability testing of AMECA tablets showed there was no significance change in the content of Amlodipine Besylate and Enalapril Maleate after 6 of storage under controlled of temperature and humidity, at 30 0 C+2 0 C/65%RH+5%RH. Accelerated conditions under 40 0 C+2 0 C/75%RH+5%RH, dosage forms exhibit slight but insignificant fall within assay value. The parameters such as appearance, hardness, friability, disintegration time periods were determine at regular interval of each for total period of six s. It showed that there was no change in physical parameter for six s at stored condition. KEYWORDS Amlodipine Besylate, Enalapril Maleate, HPLC, Stability study, accelerated stability studies. INTRODUCTION Stability study Stability is defined as the capacity of a drug substance or drug product to remain within established specifications to maintain its identity, strength, quality, and purity throughout the retest or expiration dating periods. Physical, chemical, and microbiological data are generated as a function of time and storage conditions [e.g. temperature and relative humidity (RH)]. Stability testing is the primary tool used to assess expiration dating and storage conditions for pharmaceutical products. Many protocols have been used for stability testing, but most in the industry are now standardizing on the recommendations of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). These guidelines were developed as a cooperative effort between regulatory agencies and industry officials from Europe, Japan, and the United States 1,2. Stability is a critical quality attribute of all pharmaceutical products and therefore stability testing is a crucial component of drug development process. Companies rely on the stability data to establish an expiry for marketed pharmaceutical products 3. Many guidelines have been developed around this arena; however, many issues are continually raised and challenge our practices. Recently, the U.S. Food and Administration withdrew their Stability Guidance; and ICH withdrew Q1F guidelines on storage requirements for Zone III and IV, leading manufacturers to search for the right choice of stability storage conditions for global submission 4,5. MATERIALS & METHODS General information about tablet Each uncoated tablet contains Amlodipine Besylate 5mg Enalapril Maleate 5mg Colour: Sunset yellow FCF Storage: Storage in cool, dry and dark place. Manufactured by: Systopic Ltd. Stability Study of Amlodipine Besylate and Enalapril Maleate Tablet as per ICH Guideline To carry out the intermediate and accelerated stability studies of Amlodipine Besylate and Enalapril Maleate tablet, 500 tablets procured from market.

2 25 strips were stored in each programmable environmental test chamber CHM-10S, (Remi sales and engineering Ltd) calibrated previously and labeled as C/65% RH + 5% RH (serial no.ich 2530) C/75% RH + 5% RH (serial no.ich 2531) Testing of tablet was done at 0 th before keeping the strips for both intermediate accelerated stability. As per ICH guidelines further testing was done at the end of each for 6,7,8. Determination of Amlodipine Besylate and Enalapril Maleate by HPLC method Procedure- 10 Tablet each containing Amlodipine Besylate 5 mg and Enalapril Maleate 5 mg were weighed and crushed to fine power and quantity of powder equivalent to 5 mg of Amlodipine Besylate and 5 mg of Enalapril Maleate were weighed and transfer to 50 ml volumetric flask mobile phase was added to same flask and sonicated for 20 min. The volume was made up to 50 ml with mobile phase the concentration was 100 µg/ml of Amlodipine Maleate and 100 µg/ml of Enalapril Maleate. The final solution containing 100 µg/ml of Amlodipine Maleate and 100 µg/ml of Enalapril Maleate were filtered by 0.45 µm nylon membrane filters. From this solution appropriate dilution were made as to obtain 40 µg/ml of Amlodipine Besylate and 40 µg/ml of Enalapril Maleate as final concentration an injected in to system to get the chromatogram the area obtained in each chromatogram of five replicates was correlated with regression equation and amount found is calculated which was within the limits of label claimed as mention in table. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Stability is defined as the capacity of a drug substance or drug product to remain within established specifications to maintain its identity, strength, quality, and purity throughout the retest or expiration dating periods. The purpose of stability testing is to provide evidence on how the quality of a drug substance or drug product varies with time under the influence of a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light, and to establish a re-test period for the drug substance or a shelf life for the drug product and recommended storage conditions. Stability data for the drug substance are used to determine optimal storage and packaging conditions for bulk lots of the material. The stability studies for the drug product are designed to determine the expiration date (or shelf life). In order to assess stability, the appropriate physical, chemical, biological and microbiological testing must be performed. Usually this testing is a subset of the release testing. To investigate potential stability issues of the drug in AMECA tablet, accelerated and intermediated stability studies were carried out according to ICH guidelines at 30 0 C+2 0 C/65%RH+ 5%RH and 40 0 C+2 0 C/75%RH+5%RH for six. Stability studies were carried out using programmable environmental test chamber CHM-10s, serial no. ICH and ICH 2531 (Remi instrument Ltd, Mumbai) and assay was carried out by using HPLC (Jasco) method which has been developed previously. The stability testing of AMECA tablets showed there was no significance change in the content of Amlodipine Besylate and Enalapril Maleate after 6 of storage under controlled of temperature and humidity, at 30 0 C+2 0 C/65%RH+5%RH. Accelerated conditions under 40 0 C+2 0 C/75%RH+5%RH, dosage forms exhibit slight but insignificant fall within assay value. The parameters such as appearance, hardness, friability, disintegration time periods were determine at regular interval of each for total period of six s. It showed that there was no change in physical parameter for six s at stored condition. Periods for electrical cut off and other related problems were compensated by extending the study for the relevant periods.
