Chromatography was performed on a Hypersil C18 (4.6mmx250mm, 5m) column from inisocratic mode with mobile phase containing acetonitrile: 0.05 M KH2PO4 pH 3.0 (60:40). The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min and the eluent was monitored at 228 nm. The selected chromatographic conditions were found to effectively separate Ramipril (RT-2.836 min) and Olmesartan (RT-4.055 min). Linearity for Ramipril and Olmesartan medoxomil were found in the range of 5ppm-25ppm and 20ppm-100ppm respectively. The proposed method was found to be accurate, precise, reproducible and specific. The mean recovery was 99.84 ± 0.20% and 101.7 ± 0.20% for ramipril and olmesartan medoxomil respectively. The methods were validated according to the ICH guidelines.

The conversion and selectivity results obtained for many substrates were excellent and similar to those provided by more active or even homogeneous catalysts. The methodology is similarly effective using 2‐bromo‐3,4,5‐trimethoxybenzaldehyde as the coupling partner and gave products in good yield. Furthermore, it has been shown that it is useful for the synthesis of terphenyl and tetraphenyls. The catalyst is quantitatively recovered from the reaction by simple filtration and reused for a number of cycles without significant loss of activity. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass‐spectrometric analysis of the filtrate from the reaction mixture demonstrated that the palladium metal hardly leached into the solution within the limits of the detector (1 ppm), thus suggesting that the present Suzuki–Miyaura reaction proceeded by heterogeneous catalysis.

Now days, not only purity profile but also impurity profile has become mandatory according to various regulatory authorities. In the pharmaceutical world, an impurity is considered as any other inorganic or organic material, or residual solvents other than the drug substances, or ingredients, arise out of synthesis or unwanted chemicals that remains with APIs. Impurity profiling includes identification, structure elucidation and quantitative determination of impurities and degradation products in bulk drug materials and pharmaceutical formulations. Impurity profiling has gained importance in modern pharmaceutical analysis due to the fact that unidentified, potentially toxic impurities are hazardous to health and in order to increase the safety of drug therapy, impurities should be identified and determined by selective methods. Terms such as residual solvents, byproduct, transformation products, degradation products, interaction products and related products are frequently used to define impurities. The control of impurities in Formulated products and Active Pharmaceutical ingredient's were regulated by various regulatory authorities like ICH, USFDA, Canadian Drug and Health Agency are emphasizing on the purity requirements and the identification of impurities in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient's (API's). Identification of impurities is done by variety of Chromatographic and Spectroscopic techniques, either alone or in combination with other techniques. There are different methods for detecting and characterizing impurities with TLC, HPLC, HPTLC, AAS etc. Impurity profiling study has been in the limelight in the recent pharmaceutical scenario and its importance is increasing day-by-day. The present review covers various aspects related to the analytical method development for impurity profiling of Active Pharmaceutical ingredient and pharmaceutical products.
