INTRODUCTION
Dapagliflozin is chemically known as (2S)-propane-1,2-
diol(2S,3R,5S,6R)-2-{4-chloro-3-[(4-ethoxy phenyl)
methyl] phenyl}-6-(hydroxy methyl)oxane-3-4-5-mono
hydrate,[16,18,20]
as show in figure no.1 and it is a new
class of oral ant diabetic drugs, called Sodium Glucose
Co-Transporter 2 (SLGT2) inhibitors. These Sodium
Glucose Co-Transporters are responsible for glucose
reabsorption in the kidney. Hence inhibiting the SLGT2
have been proposed as a new strategy in the treatment of
diabetes. By suppressing the SLGT2, dapagliflozin
reduces plasma glucose concentration intern by elevating
the renal glucose excretion. it has molecular formula
502.99 gm/mol. Dapagliflozin is a white to half white
crystalline powder which is insoluble in water, and
soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMSO, dimethyl
formamide.
Saxagliptin Hydrochloride is (1R,3R)-2-[(2R)-2-amino-
2-(3-hydroxy-1-adamantyl)-acetyl]-2 azabicyclo hexane-
3-carbonitrile hydrochloride[17,19,21]
as show in figure no.
2,Saxagliptin is a competitive DPP4 inhibitor that slows
the inactivation of the incretin hormones, thereby
increasing their bloodstream concentrations and reducing
fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations in a
glucose-dependent manner in patients with type 2
diabetes mellitus. It has molecular weight of 351.870
g/mol. saxagliptin Hydrochloride is a white powder
which is soluble in methanol.

ABSTRACT
In the present study two analytical Methods were developed for the estimation of Dapagliflozin propanediol and
saxagliptin Hydrochloride in Synthetic Method. where as in method A ,first derivative method based on
measurement of absorbance at two wavelengths 225 nm and 217 nm using UV visible spectrophotometer with
1cm matched quartz cells and methanol solvent were employed in this method. The Developed method obeyed
Beer’s-Lambert’s law in the concentration range of 20-100μg/ml, having correlation coefficient for Dapagliflozin
was 0.984 and 10-50 μg/ml, having correlation coefficient for Metformin hydrochloride was 0.982. In method B,
High performance thin Layer Chromatography using silica gel aluminium plate 60F254(10*10cm)as stationary
Phase and Chloroform: Ethyl acetate: methanol: ammonia (6:2:2:2 Drops) as Mobile Phase .the developed plates
scanned densiometrically using UV 210nm wavelength. The Rf value of DAPA and SAXA was found to be 0.30
and 0.54 respectively. Both the method validated for different validation parameter such as linearity, accuracy,
precision, LOD, LOQ and robustness and the result were found to be within the acceptance limit as per the
guideline of international conference on Harmonization (ICH).

Literature review indicated that numbers of analytical
methods Like UV spectroscopy, HPLC and HPTLC
method are available for estimation of Dapagliflozin
Propanediol And Saxagliptin Hydrochloride in single
dosage form and in combination with other drugs.
There is no any derivative UV-Spectroscopic and
HPTLC method have been reported for this combination
of drug So it was thought of interest to develop simple,
sensitive, specific, accurate and precise UV-
Spectroscopy (First Derivative) and HPTLC method for
estimation of Dapagliflozin Propanediol And Saxagliptin
Hydrochloride in synthetic mixture dosage form.
Nowadays, HPTLC is becoming a routine analytical
technique with numerous advantages of low operating
cost; quick conductance of several trials and need for
minimum sample clean up.
The major advantage of HPTLC is that several samples
can be run in chorus using small amount of mobile
phase; in contrast to HPLC, thus time saving and cost
effective. UV spectroscopy methods are easy to execute
and possible to perform even at smaller units for quality
control.
The present work was undertaken with an aim to
develop and validate of analytical methods as per ICH
guidelines for simultaneous estimation of Dapagliflozin
Propanediol And Saxagliptin Hydrochloride in synthetic
mixture dosage form.

METHOD DEVELOPMENT
Method A:
Determination of the zero crossing point
The standard solutions of dapagliflozin propanediol (100
μg/ml) and Saxagliptin Hydrochloride(50 μg/ml) were
scanned separately in the UV range of 200-400 nm. The
absorbance spectra, thus obtained were derivatized to
remove the interference of absorbing species. The two
wavelengths selected should be such that at each
wavelength the absorbance difference between the
components should be as large as possible. From the
examination of the overlay first derivative spectra of
dapagliflozin propanediol and saxagliptin hydrochloride
217 nm (λ1) and 277 nm (λ2) were selected as working
wavelengths for the first derivative spectroscopy, as at
217 nm saxagliptin hydrochloride exhibited zero
absorbance and at 225 nm dapagliflozin propanediol
showed zero absorbance.
METHOD VALIDATION
For method A The Proposed method was validated according to ICH
guidelines. The parameters assessed were linearity,
precision, accuracy, LOD and LOQ.
Linearity and Range
The linearity was determined at three levels over the
range of 20-100 μg/ml for Dapagliflozin propanediol and
10-50 μg/ml saxagliptin hydrochloride. Absorbance of
above linearity solution preparations were taken at each
concentration three times. Mean absorbance at each
concentration was calculated and Graph of absorbance
(y-axis) versus Concentration (x-axis) was plotted.
PRECISION
A. Repeatability
Standard solutions of 40, 60, 80 μg/ml dapagliflozin
propanediol and 20, 30, 40 μg/ml saxagliptin
hydrochloride were prepared and spectra were recorded.
Absorbance was measured of the same concentration
solution three times and % R.S.D. was calculated.
B. Intra-day precision
Standard solutions of 40, 60, 80 μg/ml dapagliflozin
propanediol and 20, 30, 40 μg/ml saxagliptin
hydrochloride were analyzed three times on the same day
and % R.S.D was calculated.
C. Inter-day precision
Standard solutions of 40, 60, 80 μg/ml dapagliflozin
propanediol and 20, 30, 40 μg/ml saxagliptin
hydrochloride were analyzed three times on three
different days and % R.S.D was calculated.
Accuracy
Recovery studies were carried out by addition of
standard drug to the sample at 3 different concentration
levels (80%, 100% and 120%) taking into consideration
percentage purity of added bulk drug samples. These
solutions were subjected to re-analysis by the proposed
method and Results are calculated.
Limit of Detection and Limits of Quantitation
Limit of Detection (L.O.D.)
From the linearity curve equation, the standard deviation
(S.D.) of the intercepts (response) was calculated. The
limit of detection (L.O.D.) of the drug was calculated by
using the following equation designated by International
Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guideline:
L.O.D. = 3.3 σ / S
Where, σ = the standard deviation of the response
S = slope of the calibration curve
Limit of Quantitation (L.O.Q.) The limit of quantitation (L.O.Q.) of the drug was
calculated by using the following equation designated by
International Conference on Harmonization (ICH)
guideline:
L.O.Q. = 10 σ / S
Where, σ = the standard deviation of the response
S = slope of the calibration curve
For method B
Method Development
Selection of wavelength for mixture
The concentration of standard mixture solution of DAPA
and SAXA ( 1000 ng/spot) were spotted in form of bands
of width 6mm using a 100µl syringe on percolated silica
Gel aluminum plate 60F254(10 *10 cm) then all plates
scan densiometrically at different wavelength like
225nm,220nm and 210nm using CAMAG TLC scanner.
Both components showed reasonable good response at
210nm. So they were detected at this analytical
wavelength.

METHOD VALIDATION
Linearity
Calibration curves were plotted over the concentration
range of 500– 4000 ng/band and 250 –2000 ng/band for
DAPA and SAXA respectively. Accurately prepared
mixed standard solutions of DAPA (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, and
8 µl ) and SAXA (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, and 8 µl) were
applied to the plate. The calibration curves were
constructed by plotting peak areas (Y- axis) against the
concentrations (X- axis).The correlation coefficient and
equation and the calibration plot in FIG 7.45 and For
dapagliflozin and Saxagliptin respectively.
Precision
The precision of the analytical method was studies by
analysis of multiple sample of homogeneous sample .The
precision is expressed as standard deviation or relative
standard deviation.
(a) Intraday Precision
The intraday precision of the proposed method was
determined by analyzing mixed standard solution of
DAPA and SAXA at 3 different concentrations (1000,
2000 and 3000 ng/band for DAPA; 500, 1000 and 1500
ng/band for SAXA) 3 times on the same day. The results
are reported in terms of relative standard deviation
(%RSD).
(b) Interday Precision
The interday precision of the proposed method was
determined by analyzing mixed standard solution of
DAPA and SAXA at 3 different concentrations (1000,
2000 and 3000 ng/band for DAPA; 500, 1000 and 1500
ng/band for SAXA) 3 times on different days. The
results are reported in terms of relative standard
deviation (%RSD).
The repeatability was carried out by repeated scanning
and measuring the peak area of DAPA (2000 ng/band)
and SAXA (1000 ng/band) (n = 6) without altering the
parameters of the proposed Method. The results are
reported in terms of relative standard deviation (% RSD).

Limit of Detection (LOD) & Limit of Quantitation
(LOQ)
They were calculated by following equation
LOD = 3.3 X σ/S
LOQ = 10 X σ/S
Where, σ = the standard deviation of the response
S = slope of the calibration curve.
Specificity
Specificity is a procedure to detect quantitatively the
analyte in the presence of components that may be
expected to be present in the sample matrix. Specificity
of developed method was established by spiking of
DAPA and SAXA in hypothetical placebo (i.e. might be
expected to be present) and expressing that analyte was
not interfered from Excipients.
The measurement of specificity was perform by
comparing standard sample. The spots for DAPA and
SAXA in sample can be proven by comparison of sample
Rf and spectra to the standard spectra and Rf.
Accuracy (% Recovery study)
The accuracy of the proposed method was determined by
standard addition method by calculating the percentage
recoveries of all three drugs. The accuracy was evaluated
in triplicates, at three different concentrations levels i.e.
50, 100 and 150 % of the active ingredients, by adding
different concentration of Dapagliflozin (DAPA) and
Saxagliptin (SAXA) standard to the known amount of
sample and calculating the recovery and % RSD for all
the drugs.
Recovery studies were carried out by spiking three
different amount of DAPA standard (500 ng/band, 1000
μg/band, 1500 ng/band) to the dosage form (1000
ng/band) ,and SAXA standard (250 ng/band, 500μg/band
and 750 ng/band) to the dosage form (500 ng/band) by
standard addition method.
Robustness
The robustness of the method was evaluated by varying
method parameters such as saturation time (25 min and
35 min); and changing the composition of the mobile
phase Each parameter was varied at a time. It was
assessed by using the three replicates of one standard
concentration (1000μg/band of DAPA, and 500ng/band
of SAXA) and calculating the values of mean area and %
RSD.
The robustness of the method was established by
making deliberate minor variations in the following
method parameters
a) mobile phase Ratio (% v/v)
1. (CHCl3: Ethyl Acetate: MeOH: Ammonia (6.5 :1.5 :
2:2 drops)
2. (CHCl3: Ethyl Acetate: MeOH: Ammonia (5.5 :2.5 :
2:2 drops)
b) Saturation time of development chamber {8 min0.2),
12 min (+0.2)}
