Aripiprazole (APZ) is an antipsychotic drug that belongs to benzisoxazole derivatives and is used to treat schizophrenia as well as acute manic or mixed effects in patients with bipolar 1 disorder. APZ is used to treat certain mental, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, and irritability associated with autistic disorder. It may also be used in combination with other medication to treat depression. The present review article would be useful for prospective studies for researchers interested in APZ formulation production and quality management. Using a thorough computer assisted literature survey; this review touches upon the various reported analytical methods for the quantification of APZ both in API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) and pharmaceutical dosage forms. The present write-up also encompasses the various published research articles like Spectroscopy techniques, X- Ray Diffraction (XRD), Electro Chemical Technique, Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and Capillary Electrophoresis. This is the first review article in this series with focus on the analytical profile of APZ. Although, several methods were reported in the literature, HPLC stands out first for the quantification of APZ. |
