    Abstract:
    Stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectrofluorimetric methods were developed for determination of empagliflozin (EGF). EGF was subjected to oxidation, wet heat, photo-degradation, acid hydrolysis and alkali hydrolysis. The alkaline degradation pathway was subjected to a kinetics study as the major product obtained after stress conditions. Arrhenius plots were constructed and the activation energies of the degradation process were calculated. HPLC was used for the kinetic study as it enabled simultaneous determination of EGF and the degradation product while the spectrofluorimetric assay was applied to content uniformity testing due to its higher sensitivity and lower limit of detection (LOD). Isocratic chromatographic elution was attained for HPLC on a Intersil® C18 column (150 mm × 4 mm, 5 μm), using a mobile phase of acetonitrile-potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer pH 4, (50:50, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 ml/min with ultraviolet (UV) detection at 225 nm. The relative fluorescence intensity was recorded by spectrofluorimeter applying synchronous mode using ∆λ = 70 nm at 297.6 nm. Linearity ranges were found to be 5-50 μg/ml and 50-1000 ng/ml for HPLC and spectrofluorimetric methods, respectively.
