Abstract

The purpose of this work was to develop and verify a green stability-indicating “high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC)” technique to measure risperidone (RISP). The ternary mixture of ethanol, ethyl acetate, and ammonia (70:20:10 v/v/v) was the green mobile phase that was employed. At 281 nm, the detection of RISP was performed. The suggested method's greener profile was produced using the analytical eco-scale (AES), ChlorTox, and analytical GREENness (AGREE) methodologies. It was then contrasted with RISP analysis published HPTLC methods. The proposed methodology for measuring RISP in the 50–1400 ng/band range showed the linearity. Furthermore, the RISP measurement methodology was green, robust, precise (% RSD = 0.80–1.02), sensitive (LOD = 1.86 ng/band and LOQ = 5.60 ng/band), and accurate (% recoveries = 98.23–101.80). The AES, total ChlorTox, and AGREE scales for the suggested technique were found to be 83, 1.26 g, and 0.75, indicating an excellent greener profile. The current methodology's AES and total ChlorTox were significantly higher than those of previously published HPTLC RISP analysis methods. RISP was found to be highly stable under acid, base, and thermal stress conditions, while it was found to be most unstable under oxidative degradation conditions. Additionally, the stability-indicating aspect of the suggested technique was able to identify RISP in the presence of its degradation products. It was discovered that commercial tablet brands A and B had 98.12 and 99.62 % of RISP, respectively. The results of this investigation suggested that RISP in commercial formulations might be regularly analyzed utilizing the suggested green technology.

1 Introduction

Risperidone (RISP) is an approved antipsychotic drug, which comes under benzisoxazole class of an atypical neuroleptic medicines (Kumar et al., 2008; Kumar et al., 2009). The molecular structure of RISP is displayed in supplementary Fig. 1 (Figure S1) (Shukla et al., 2009; Shakeel et al., 2014). It is a potent medication that has been recommended for the treatment of Tourette syndrome, schizophrenia, bipolar mania, and psychotic depression (Bishop and Pavuluri, 2008; Bhat et al., 2023). At therapeutic levels, it has a low propensity to cause extrapyramidal side effects and selectively antagonizes dopamine and serotonin receptors (McDougle et al., 2005; Bhat et al., 2023). As a result, it shows fewer side effects than other antipsychotic medicines (McDougle et al., 2005). It is commercially available in form of conventional tablets, disintegrating tablets, and oral liquids (Kumar et al., 2008). It was discovered to be soluble in transcutol and weakly soluble in water (H2O) (Shakeel et al., 2014). Given that RISP is present in various marketed formulations, it is essential to examine both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of its presence in these products.

RISP in biological materials and pharmaceutical products can be measured using a number of reported analytical techniques. According to reports, RISP in bulk form and pharmaceutical products can be determined using a few spectrophotometric techniques (Hasan et al., 2011; Kutty et al., 2013). Numerous “high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)” methods have been developed and validated to analyze RIPS in pure and dosage forms (Dedania et al., 2011; Svirskis et al., 2011; Ashour and Kattan, 2013; Mennickent et al., 2018; Kokane et al., 2019; Raslan et al., 2021; Yusul et al., 2022). To evaluate the photostability of RISP in tablet dosage forms, an HPLC approach has also been developed (Fujisawa et al., 2018). A green HPLC method using Corona charged aerosol detector was used to measure RISP and its related impurities in pharmaceutical products (Maljuric et al., 2020). Additionally, a number of HPLC approaches were developed and validated to measure RISP in the plasma and serum of rats and human participants (Aravagiri et al., 1993; Nagasaki et al., 1999; Schatz and Saria, 2000; Mennickent et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2020; Oloyede et al., 2022; Feyzi et al., 2023). The detection of RISP and its metabolites in human plasma samples as well as the evaluation of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) have both been addressed by a variety of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS methods that have been developed and validated (Remmerie et al., 2003; Huang et al., 2008; Koller et al., 2019; Alcantara et al., 2020). Additionally, RISP and its metabolites were identified in rat dried blood spots and dried plasma spots using an LC-MS/MS technique (Challa et al., 2020). Rat whole blood and urine samples were simultaneously evaluated for the presence of RISP, haloperidol, and chlorprothixene using the LC-MS/MS technique (Yu et al., 2020). The detection of RISP in human serum samples when combined with other antipsychotic medications and TDM assessment have also been reported using a variety of LC-MS/MS techniques (Ruan et al., 2018; Tonooka et al., 2018; Cao et al., 2020). Some ultra-performance LC (UPLC) methods have been developed and validated to determine RISP and its related impurities in pharmaceutical products (Nejedly et al., 2014; Magar et al., 2020; Pawar and Pandita, 2022). In order to identify RISP and its metabolites in rat plasma samples, a UPLC-MS/MS approach has also been reported (Rub et al., 2020). The spectrofluorometric measurement of RISP in spiked human plasma samples and pharmaceutical products was performed using guava fruit-based quantum dots (Alaqel et al., 2023). RISP can be found in human urine samples at the picogram level using a simple flow-injection chemiluminescence approach, according to a report (Xie et al., 2006). To ascertain RISP in pharmaceutical products, a capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) technique has been created and verified (Nagase et al., 2014). A CZE method has also been used to determine RISP and its major metabolite, 9-hydroxy-RISP in beagle dog plasma samples (Fan et al., 2020). To ascertain RISP in bulk forms and commercialized products, numerous “high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC)” techniques have also been developed and verified (El-Sherif et al., 2005; Maslanka et al., 2009; Devala et al., 2010; Patel et al., 2010; Singh et al., 2017). Some HPTLC methods have also been used to measure RISP in combination with other antidepressants (Petruczynik et al., 2008; Patel et al., 2009; Patel et al., 2015). Additionally, RISP has been measured using an HPTLC technique in human plasma and urine samples in combination with other antidepressants (Maslanka et al., 2011).

There are numerous analytical methodologies for RISP analysis in pharmaceutical products and variety of biological samples, such as blood, plasma, serum, and urine. However, there is a paucity of information regarding green HPTLC methods for RISP determination in pharmaceutical or biological materials in the literature. Furthermore, for the majority of the stated RISP analysis methods, the greener profile was not reported. HPTLC techniques offer various advantages compared to conventional liquid chromatography techniques for drug analysis (El-Yazbi et al., 2021; Foudah et al., 2021). Currently, pharmaceutical products and medications are subjected to green analysis using HPTLC techniques (El-Yazbi et al., 2021; Ragab et al., 2023). Using environmentally safe alternatives to decrease the harmful effects of hazardous solvents on the environment is one of the twelve principles of “green analytical chemistry (GAC)” (Galuszka et al., 2013). Over the past few decades, the use of ecologically friendly or greener solvents has increased exponentially, according to a literature search (Abdelrahman et al., 2020; Alam et al., 2021; Foudah et al., 2021). A few of the many green analytical strategies that have been discussed in the literature to assess the greenness and eco-friendliness of analytical methodologies are the National Environmental Method Index (NEMI) (Keith et al., 2005), Environmental Assessment Tool (EAT) (Gaber et al., 2011), Analytical Method Volume Intensity (AMVI) (Hartman et al., 2011), Analytical Eco-Scale (AES) (Galuszka et al., 2012), Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI) (Plotka-Wasylka, 2018), Analytical Method GREENness Score (AMGS) (Hicks et al., 2019), Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) (Nowak and Koscielniak, 2019), the Analytical GREENness (AGREE) (Pena-Pereira et al., 2020), and ChlorTox (Nowak et al., 2023). Three different tools—AES (Galuszka et al., 2012), AGREE (Pena-Pereira et al., 2020), and ChlorTox (Nowak et al., 2023) approaches—were used in this study to evaluate the greener profile of the current method. The proposed method aims to develop and evaluate a green normal-phase HPTLC strategy for RISP analysis in commercial tablets based on the aforementioned data and observations. The suggested method for RISP analysis was validated by “The International Council for Harmonization (ICH)-Q2-R1” criteria (ICH, 2005).

2 Experimental section

2.1

2.1 Materials

The ammonia (NH3) solution (25 % for HPLC) and working standard of RISP were supplied by “Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA)”. “E-Merck (Darmstadt, Germany)” provided the LC-grade solvents, which included ethanol (EtOH), acetone (Ace), and ethyl acetate (EA). Using a “Milli-Q® (Milli-Q, Lyon, France)” device, LC-grade H2O was produced. The commercial RISP tablets, brand A (formulation A) and brand B (formulation B), each containing 2 mg of RISP, were supplied by pharmaceutical stores in “Riyadh, Saudi Arabia”. Rest of the chemicals/reagents have analytical grades.

2.2

2.2 Chromatography

RISP in marketed products was analyzed by an “HPTLC CAMAG TLC system (CAMAG, Muttenz, Switzerland)”. A “CAMAG Automatic TLC Sampler 4 (ATS4) Sample Applicator (CAMAG, Geneva, Switzerland)” was utilized to spot samples in the form of bands (6 mm). To measure RISP, the “NP-60F254S TLC plates (E-Merck, Darmstadt, Germany)” were used as the stationary phase. The sample applicator was filled with the “CAMAG microliter Syringe (Hamilton, Bonaduz, Switzerland)”. For every analysis, the RISP application rate was fixed at 150 nL/s. The TLC plates were placed inside an “automated development chamber 2 (ADC2) (CAMAG, Muttenz, Switzerland)” at a distance of 8 cm. The EtOH-EA-NH3 (70:20:10 v/v/v) was used as the green solvent system. For thirty minutes at an ambient temperature (22 °C), the development chamber was completely filled with the vapors from the green solvent system. At a wavelength of 281 nm, RISP was detected. The scanning speed was kept at 20 mm/s, and the slit diameter was fixed at 4 x 0.45 mm2. For each analysis, three or six replications were utilized. The “WinCAT's (version 1.4.3.6336, CAMAG, Muttenz, Switzerland)” software was utilized to decode the results and data.

2.3

2.3 RISP calibration plot

The RISP stock solution with a concentration of 100 µg/mL was obtained by dissolving 10 mg of RISP in 100 mL of the green solvent system. In order to get RISP concentrations in the range of 50–1400 ng/band, this stock solution was serially diluted. On normal-phase TLC plates, 10 µL of each RISP solution was spotted, and the required TLC response was recorded. The RISP calibration curve was made using a graph of the measured TLC response vs. RISP concentrations. For each of these solutions and experiments, six replicates (n = 6) were used.

2.4

2.4 Sample preparation for RISP analysis in marketed tablets

Twenty-five commercial tablets with the brands A (formulation A) and B (formulation B), each containing 2 mg of RISP, were weighed to determine their average mass. Both brands' tablets were ground to a uniform powder. The average mass of the fine powder from formulations A and B was mixed with 10 mL of the green solvent system. Then, 1 mL of formulations A and B was diluted using 10 mL of the green solvent system. After 30 min of sonication at 25 °C, the solutions of both formulations were filtered to remove any insoluble elements. Using the proposed method, the obtained samples of both formulations were checked for RISP contents.

2.5

2.5 Validation studies

The proposed RISP analytical method was validated using ICH-Q2-R1 protocols (ICH, 2005) for several parameters, as detailed below. The ICH-Q2-R1 guidelines are used for the evaluation of pharmaceutical assays. These guidelines are necessary for the registration of analytical procedures in EC, Japan, and USA. According to these guidelines, the analytical method should be validated for accuracy, precision, repeatability, specificity, robustness, LOD, LOQ, and linear range (ICH, 2005).

2.5.1

2.5.1 System acceptability

To determine the system's acceptability for the proposed method of RISP analysis, the estimation of “retardation factor (Rf), asymmetry factor (As), and theoretical plates number per meter (N/m)” was performed. The values of “Rf, As, and N/m” were obtained utilizing their reported equations (Foudah et al., 2021).

2.5.2

2.5.2 Linearity

RISP linearity was determined by plotting the observed TLC response vs. RISP concentrations. Using six replicates (n = 6), the linearity of the RISP analytical approach in the 50–1400 ng/band range was investigated.

2.5.3

2.5.3 Accuracy

Using the spiking/standard addition methodology, the intra-assay and inter-assay accuracy of the suggested RISP analytical approach was assessed in terms of % recoveries (ICH, 2005). To establish low quality-control (LQC) levels of RISP of 450 ng/band, moderate quality-control (MQC) levels of 600 ng/band, and high quality-control (HQC) levels of 750 ng/band, additional 50, 100, and 150 % RISP concentrations were spiked into the previously measured RISP solution (300 ng/band). The previously measured RISP QC solutions were subjected to a second study that same day in order to assess intra-day accuracy. The same QC solutions were reevaluated over a three-day period in order to gauge inter-day accuracy. The percentage recovery was computed for both accuracies and each QC level. We measured both accuracies with six replicates (n = 6).

2.5.4

2.5.4 Precision

The current RISP analysis method's precision was determined in terms of repeatability (intra-assay precision) and inter-assay (intermediate) precision. It was feasible to assess newly created RISP solutions at previously established QC levels on the same day. Thus, it was possible to establish the RISP intra-assay precision (repeatability). Measurements of newly prepared RISP solution at previously established QC levels were done over a three-day period in order to evaluate the RISP inter-assay precision. Six replicates (n = 6) were employed in order to assess both precisions. The precisions were given as a percentage of relative standard deviation (% RSD).

2.5.5

2.5.5 Robustness

The analytical procedure's robustness is assessed to verify the method's ability to withstand slight changes in its parameters (ICH, 2005). As a result, this work determined it. By introducing small deliberate changes to the green mobile phase composition during RISP analysis, the robustness for the present method was evaluated. For this, the original EtOH-EA-NH3 (70:20:10 v/v/v) system was changed to EtOH-EA-NH3 (72:18:10 v/v/v) and EtOH-EA-NH3 (68:22:10 v/v/v), and the necessary variations in peak response and Rf values were noted at each set of conditions.

2.5.6

2.5.6 Sensitivity

The sensitivity of the present RISP analysis method was determined in terms of “limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ)” using the standard deviation technique (ICH, 2005). The blank solution (without RISP) was evaluated in six replicates (n = 6) using the recommended methodology, and the standard deviation was computed. Using the reported formulae, the RISP's “LOD and LOQ” were then computed utilizing the standard deviation of the intercept and slope of the RISP calibration plot (ICH, 2005; Alam et al., 2022).

2.5.7

2.5.7 Specificity

The Rf values, UV-absorption spectra, and 3D spectra of RISP in commercial formulations A and B were compared with those of pure RISP in order to evaluate the specificity of the method for RISP analysis.

2.6

2.6 Forced degradation studies

Four stress settings—acid (HCl), base (NaOH), oxidative (H2O2), and thermal degradation conditions—were used in studies on forced degradation (ICH, 2005; Haq et al., 2023). For every degradation study, a new MQC solution of RISP (600 ng/band) was made with the green solvent system. By combining 1 mL of MQC solution with 4 mL of either 1 M HCl or 1 M NaOH, acid and base hydrolysis were performed. The green solvent system was successful in diluting acid and alkaline hydrolysis solutions. After 48 h of refluxing at 60 °C, these samples were evaluated using the suggested method for RISP breakdown (ICH, 2005).

For oxidative degradation conditions, a fresh RISP MQC sample was prepared utilizing the green solvent system. After that, 1 mL of this solution was oxidized with 4 mL of 30 % H2O2. This mixture was effectively diluted utilizing the green solvent system. The proposed approach was used to assess the degradation of RISP in this combination after refluxing it for 48 h at 60 °C (ICH, 2005).

Once the RSIP MQC sample had been adequately diluted using the green solvent system, it was placed in a hot air oven and heated to 60 °C for 48 h. This led to the MQC (600 ng/band) solution's thermal hydrolysis. Then, RISP thermal deterioration was assessed using the suggested methodology (ICH, 2005).

2.7

2.7 Application of the current methodology in the determination of RISP in marketed formulations

For the current method, the solutions of commercial products A and B were spotted onto normal-phase TLC plates. The identical experimental setup as for standard RISP was utilized to calculate RISP, and three measurements of the peak area were made. The current methodology was utilized to calculate the percentage content of RISP in commercial products A and B using the RISP calibration curve.

2.8

2.8 Greenness assessment

Three distinct tools were utilized to obtain the greenness scale of the current technique in this study: AES (Galuszka et al., 2012), AGREE (Pena-Pereira et al., 2020), and ChlorTox (Nowak et al., 2023) approaches. AES is a semi-quantitative technique that considers instruments, waste, and each step of the analytical process. It is expected that substances requiring minimal to no reagent use, low energy, and no waste will have an ideal analysis with 100 points. Penalty points are awarded and deducted from 100 in total if any of these parameters are violated (Galuszka et al., 2012). According to the ChlorTox approach, equation (1) is used to calculate the ChlorTox scale (Nowak et al., 2023):

(1)
ChlorTox = CH sub CH CHCl 3 × m sub where, the mass of the substance of interest needed for a single analysis is denoted by msub, the chemical hazards of standard chloroform are represented by CHCHCl3, and the chemical risks of the substance of interest are represented by CHsub. Utilizing the safety data sheet from “Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA)”, the weighted hazards number (WHN) model was utilized to determine the values of CHsub and CHCHCl3 (Nowak et al., 2023). The present RISP determination method's AGREE score was evaluated using the AGREE-metric technique (Pena-Pereira et al., 2020). The AGREE scores for the present methodology were derived using the “AGREE: The Analytical Greenness Calculator (version 0.5, Gdansk University of Technology, Gdansk, Poland, 2020)”. The values ranged from 0.0 to 1.0 based on 12 distinct components of GAC.

3 Results and discussions

3.1

3.1 Method development

Many binary and ternary combinations, including EtOH-H2O, Ace-H2O, EtOH-EA, EtOH-H2O-NH3, Ace-H2O-NH3, and EtOH-EA-NH3 in varying proportions, were evaluated as the green solvent systems in order to develop the current RISP analytical approach. Since the solvents under examination—EtOH, H2O, Ace, and EA—are harmless for the environment, they are classified as green solvents (Cue and Zhang, 2009; Prat et al., 2016). Each and every solvent system was created in a saturated chamber. Figure S2 displays a representative TLC image for the commercial products, forced-degradation samples, and reference RISP samples based on the optimal solvent systems. The measured chromatographic characteristics and the constituents of different binary and ternary green solvent system mixes are shown in Table 1. The unreliable RISP signals with higher As (As = 1.32–1.38) and lower N/m (N/m = 2013–2612) were observed when different combinations, such as EtOH-H2O (50:50 v/v), EtOH-H2O (70:30 v/v), Ace-H2O (50:50 v/v), Ace-H2O (70:30 v/v), EtOH-H2O-NH3 (70:20:10 v/v/v), and Ace-H2O-NH3 (70:20:10 v/v/v), were investigated.

EtOH: ethanol; H2O: water; Ace: acetone; EA: ethyl acetate; Rf: retardation factor; As: asymmetry factor; N/m: theoretical plates number per meter.

The RISP chromatographic signals were slightly improved with low As (As = 1.09–1.24) and high N/m values (N/m = 3214–4784) when different combinations of EtOH-EA (50:50 v/v), EtOH-EA (70:30 v/v), and EtOH-EA-NH3 (70:20:10 v/v/v) were tested (Table 1). Out of all these combinations, the green EtOH-EA-NH3 (70:20:10 v/v/v) solvent system was the most distinct, showing a distinct and continuous RISP signal at Rf = 0.66 ± 0.01 (Fig. 1A). Furthermore, it was found that RISP had a 1.09 As value, which is an appropriate value for RISP analysis. So EtOH-EA-NH3 (70:20:10 v/v/v) has been selected as the most ecologically friendly solvent system for the suggested RISP analysis procedure. For the selection of an optimum wavelengths, the RISP spectral bands were recorded in absorbance mode at 200–400 nm range. It was discovered that 281 nm had the highest HPTLC response. As a consequence, the 281 nm was selected as an optimum wavelength for the entire RISP measurements.

3.2 Validation studies

As shown below, the ICH-Q2-R1 recommendations (ICH, 2005) were used to establish a number of validation variables for RISP analysis:

3.2.1

3.2.1 System acceptability

The system acceptability parameters for the proposed methodology were derived using their standard formulae. The “Rf, As, and N/m” for the proposed technique's RISP analysis were computed to be 0.66 ± 0.01, 1.09 ± 0.03, and 4784 ± 2.94, respectively, and were found to be suitable for RISP analysis.

3.2.2

3.2.2 Linearity

Table 2 displays the findings of the linearity evaluation for the RISP calibration plot using the current approach. For the concentration range of 50–1400 ng/band, it was discovered that the RISP calibration curve for the current technique was linear. For the suggested methodology, the RISP's determination coefficient (R2) and regression coefficient (R) were, respectively, 0.9972 and 0.9985. These results showed an outstanding relationshipt between the recorded response and the RISP concentrations. These results proved that the existing RISP analysis method is linear.

3.2.3 Accuracy

The present RISP analytical assay's two degrees of accuracy were achieved by using the spiking approach discussed under experimental section. Table 3 presents the resulting data of the % recovery utilizing the suggested technique. Using the suggested approach, it was determined that the intra-day% recoveries of RISP at three different QC levels ranged from 98.61 to 100.93 %. At three different QC levels, the RISP inter-day % recoveries for the suggested technique were found to range from 98.23 to 101.80 %. The outcomes demonstrated that RISP could be accurately measured using the current method.

3.2.4 Precision

The RISP analysis precision are expressed as %RSD for two degree of precisions. The results of both precisions for the current RISP detection method are displayed in Table 4. For the suggested technique, the intra-day precision RSD of RISP was derived to be between 0.80 and 0.97 %. It was observed that the inter-day precision of the current assay has an RSD of RISP ranging from 0.83 to 1.02 %. These findings showed that the RISP can be precisely determined using the current technique.

3.2.5 Robustness

The robustness of the proposed RISP analytical approach was derived by deliberately changing the percentage of the green solvent mixture. Table 5 shows the resulting data of the robustness evaluation for the proposed approach. The RISP % RSD of the current approach is calculated to be between 1.01 and 1.06 %. For the current technique, the RISP Rf values varied between 0.65 and 0.67. These outcomes proved that the present RISP analysis method is robust.

3.2.6 Sensitivity

To assess the sensitivity of the current RISP analysis method, the “LOD and LOQ” were derived. The computed “LOD and LOQ” of RISP for the suggested methodology are shown in Table 2. The “LOD and LOQ” of RISP are 1.86 ± 0.02 and 5.60 ± 0.06 ng/band, respectively, based on the estimates in Table 2. The results showed how sensitive the available RISP measurement technology is.

3.2.7

3.2.7 Specificity

By contrasting the Rf data, UV-absorption spectrum, and 3D spectrum of RISP in commercially available products to those of standard RISP, the specificity of the current method for RISP analysis was evaluated. The superimposed UV-absorption spectrum of standard RISP and commercially available products are displayed in Fig. 2. The 3D spectrum of standard RISP and commercially available products are displayed in Figure S3.

The peak purity of pure RISP and RISP in commercial tablet brands A and B was evaluated by comparing the spectra at the peak start (S), peak apex (M), and peak end (E) positions of the spots (Youssef et al., 2012; Youssef et al., 2014). The calculated values of r (S,M) and r (M,E) of pure RISP and commercial tablets were found to be greater than 0.99, indicating the peaks’ homogeneity (Youssef et al., 2014, Shakeel et al., 2024). The UV-absorption and 3D spectra of standard and commercial tablets were same. At a wavelength of 281 nm, RISP in standard and commercially available products showed the greatest chromatographic response. Furthermore, the Rf values of pure RISP and commercial tablets were also same. Overall, the UV-absorption spectrum, 3D spectrum, Rf data, and wavelengths in standard and commercially available products were same. These results indicated the specificity of the present RISP analysis method.

3.3 Comparison of present method’s validation parameters with reported HPTLC methods

The present method for the measurement of RISP was compared with five different literature HPTLC methods in terms of linear range, accuracy, precision, LOD, and LOQ. The results of comparisons are summarized in Table 6. The linear range for five different HPTLC methods has been reported to be 2000–10000 ng/band (El-Sherif et al., 2005), 90–140 ng/band (Maslanka et al., 2009), 100–600 ng/band (Patel et al., 2010), 4000–8000 ng/band (Devala et al., 2010), and 100–700 ng/band (Singh et al., 2017), respectively. The linear range of present method of RISP analysis (50–1400 ng/band) has been found superior to all of the reported HPTLC methods. The accuracy of all reported HPTLC methods was within the magnitude of 100 ± 2 %, and hence found to be similar to the current RISP analysis method (El-Sherif et al., 2005; Maslanka et al., 2009; Devala et al., 2010; Patel et al., 2010; Singh et al., 2017). Compared to one of the documented HPTLC approaches (Maslanka et al., 2009), the current method's RISP precision was superior. However, it was similar to the remaining four HPTLC methods (El-Sherif et al., 2005; Devala et al., 2010; Patel et al., 2010; Singh et al., 2017). The LOD for five different HPTLC methods has been reported to be 249.69 ng/band (El-Sherif et al., 2005), 220 ng/band (Maslanka et al., 2009), 22.44 ng/band (Patel et al., 2010), 197.69 ng/band (Devala et al., 2010), and 46.56 ng/band (Singh et al., 2017), respectively. However, the LOQ for five different HPTLC methods has been found to be 629.85 ng/band (El-Sherif et al., 2005), 670 ng/band (Maslanka et al., 2009), 68.01 ng/band (Patel et al., 2010), 599.01 ng/band (Devala et al., 2010), and 141.11 ng/band (Singh et al., 2017), respectively. Compared to all previously published HPTLC approaches, the current method's LOD (1.86 ng/band) and LOQ (5.60 ng/band) of RISP were significantly lower. Therefore, compared to all previously published HPTLC approaches for RISP assessment, the current method is found to be far more sensitive. Overall, it has been discovered that the proposed RISP analysis approach is more linear and highly-sensitive than any of the HPTLC methods that have been previously published.

3.4 Forced degradation studies

Under four different stress situations, the present methodology's forced degradation was examined. The results are shown in Table 7 and data are plotted in Fig. 3. It was discovered that RISP did not degrade since it remained at 100.00 % under the acid-, base-, and thermal-degradation stress settings (Table 7). Consequently, it was deduced that RISP exhibited remarkable stability in the face of stressors conditions such as acid, base, and heat degradation. It was discovered that the Rf value of RISP remained constant (Rf = 0.66) under the acid (Fig. 3A), base (Fig. 3B), and thermal-degradation (Fig. 3D) stress settings. Under oxidative degradation condition, RISP remained at 40.82 %, while 59.18 % was decomposed after stress setting (Table 7 and Fig. 3C). As a result, it was observed that RISP was sufficiently unstable at oxidative settings. HPTLC signals 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Fig. 3C, which stand in for the breakdown product signals, were separated by Rf values of 0.19, 0.35, 0.52, and 0.54, respectively. The Rf value for RISP under oxidative degradation remained constant at 0.66. The maximal RISP breakdown was discovered during an oxidative degradation test using the current method. These findings all pointed to the possibility that RISP may be detected with the current method even in the presence of its breakdown components. These outcomes proved the current method's selectivity and stability-indicating qualities.

3.5 Application of the present technique in RISP assay in commercial formulations

In place of conventional liquid chromatographic techniques, the current technology was used to analyze RISP in commercial formulations A and B. By comparing the TLC band at Rf = 0.66 ± 0.01 for RISP with standard RISP using the suggested method, the chromatogram of RISP from the marketed tablets was verified. The chromatograms of RISP in both formulations were identical to the reference RISP when assessed using the suggested methodology. The lack of excipient peaks in both formulations indicated that there was no interaction between the formulations' ingredients and RISP (Fig. 1B). Using the RISP calibration curve, the amount of RISP in formulations A and B was determined. Formulations A and B had 98.12 ± 0.83 % and 99.62 ± 1.11 % of RISP, respectively, according to the current technique. The mean % RISP content in commercial tablets has been reported as 99.50 ± 0.46 % (Devala et al., 2010). The mean % RISP content in commercial tablets was found to be 99.64 ± 0.19 % by another report (Singh et al., 2017). The outcomes of the present RISP analysis method in commercial tablets were compared with previously reported HPTLC methods using the Student’s t-test and the variance ratio F-test (Devala et al., 2010; Singh et al., 2017). The obtained t and F values did not surpass their theoretical values, indicating that there were no appreciable variations in the accuracy and precision of the compared methods. These results suggested that the existing approach was suitable for the RISP pharmaceutical analysis.

3.6 Greenness assessment

For the evaluation of the analytical procedure's greenness, numerous green analysis methods such as NEMI (Keith et al., 2005), EAT (Gaber et al., 2011), AMVI (Hartman et al., 2011), AES (Galuszka et al., 2012), GAPI (Plotka-Wasylka, 2018), AMGS (Hicks et al., 2019), RGB (Nowak and Koscielniak, 2019), AGREE (Pena-Pereira et al., 2020), and ChlorTox (Nowak et al., 2023) have been developed. The current approach's greenness was evaluated using three distinct methods in this work: AES, ChlorTox, and AGREE methodologies. Table 8 presents the AES scales with penalty points for the current method compared to published HPTLC methods. The suggested method's AES scale, which was calculated to be 83, showed a very good green profile. The results of El-Sherif et al. (2005), Maslanka et al. (2009), Devala et al. (2010), Patel et al. (2010), and Singh et al. (2017) showed that the AES scales for five distinct literature HPTLC approaches ranged from 59 to 75. The AES results showed that compared to previously published HPTLC methods, the current technology was significantly more environmentally friendly.

The results of total ChlorTox scale and the individual greener solvent ChlorTox scale for the proposed approach are shown in Table 9 along with a comparison to published HPTLC methods. It was predicted that the proposed method's total ChlorTox scale would be 1.26 g, making it both safer and more environmentally beneficial (Nowak et al., 2023). Five distinct literature HPTLC methods were expected to have total ChlorTox scales ranging from 1.93 to 2.14 g, suggesting that all of the published procedures were both unsafe and less green (El-Sherif et al., 2005; Maslanka et al., 2009; Devala et al., 2010; Patel et al., 2010; Singh et al., 2017). The current method is safer and more environmentally friendly than any of the previously published HPTLC methods, according to the ChlorTox data.

Since AGREE incorporates all 12 GAC criteria, this approach is the most used quantitative method for evaluating greenness (Pena-Pereira et al., 2020). According to Pena-Pereira et al., (2020), an AGREE score of 0.75 or higher denoted an excellent greenness, 0.75 but greater than 0.50 indicated adequate greenness, and 0.50 or lower indicated inadequate greenness. Fig. 4 summarizes the recorded total AGREE scale using the 12 GAC criteria. The suggested HPTLC method's overall AGREE scale was recorded to be 0.75. The AGREE results once again illustrated the excellent green characteristics of the current approach. The results of all greenness approaches demonstrated that the current method for measuring RISP in commercially available tablets had an excellent greener profile when compared to published HPTLC methods (El-Sherif et al., 2005; Maslanka et al., 2009; Devala et al., 2010; Patel et al., 2010; Singh et al., 2017).

4 Conclusions

A green normal-phase HPTLC technique for the quantitative analysis of RISP in commercially available products was developed and validated. It was discovered that the suggested RISP analytical technique for RISP estimation was simple, accurate, robust, sensitive, selective, stability-indicating, and environmentally friendly. In compared to previously published HPTLC methods for the determination of RISP, the findings of the AES and ChlorTox analysis demonstrated that the current method had outstanding greener features. RISP was shown to be exceedingly stable under conditions of acid, basic, and heat degradation; nevertheless, it was found to be extremely unstable under conditions of oxidative hydrolysis. The potential of the suggested approach to quantify RISP in the presence of its breakdown compounds suggested that the proposed methodology was selective and stability-indicating. Furthermore, it was efficiently utilized for the quantitative measurement of RISP in commercially available products. Overall, it has been discovered that the current method is safer, greener, more accurate, linear, and sensitive than previously published HPTLC methods. The suggested method could be used to analyze RISP quantitatively in various pharmaceutical dosage forms where RISP is one of the ingredients.
