Abstract
A simple, Accurate, precise method was developed for the simultaneous estimation of the Netupitant and Palonosetron in Pharmaceutical dosage form. The chromatogram was run through Std Discovery C18250 x 4.6 mm, 5m. Mobile phase containing Buffer 0.1% OPA (2.2ph): Acetonitrile taken in the ratio 55:45 was pumped through the column at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. The buffer used in this method was 0.1% OPA. The temperature was maintained at 30°C. The optimized wavelength selected was 220 nm. The retention time of Netupitant and Palonosetron was found to be 2.308min and 3.093min. %RSD of the Netupitant and Palonosetron were and found to be 0.9 and 0.6 respectively. %Recovery was obtained as 99.51% and 99.29% for Netupitant and Palonosetron respectively. LOD, LOQ values obtained from regression equations of Netupitant and Palonosetron were 1.84, 0.01, and 5.59, 0.03 respectively. Regression equation of Netupitant is y = 7232.8x + 3439.3., and y = 28857x + 97.732 of Palonosetron. Retention times were decreased and run time was decreased, so the method developed was simple and economical that can be adopted in regular Quality control tests in Industries.

Introduction
Netupitant (NTP) is a novel antiemetic [1,2] drug in the combination of NTP/ palonosetron (PLS). It is used to the prevention of acute and delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting [3], including highly emetogenic [4] chemotherapy [5] such as with cisplatin [6]. 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT3) receptors [7] are located on the nerve terminals [8] of the vagus [9] in the periphery and centrally in the chemoreceptor [10] trigger zone of the area postrema [11]. It is thought that chemotherapeutic agents produce nausea and vomiting by releasing serotonin [12] then activate 5-HT3 receptors located on vagal afferents [13] to initiate the vomiting reflex. Netupitant is chemically called as 2-[3,5-bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-N,2- dimethyl- N- [4-(2-methylphenyl) -6- (4-methylpiperazin-1-yl) pyridin-3-yl] propenamide. It Delayed emesis (vomiting) has been largely associated with the activation of tachykinin family neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors (broadly distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems) by substance P. As shown in in vitro and in vivo studies, netupitant inhibits substance P mediated responses. The structure is shown in figure 01.
 
Figure 01: Chemical structure of Netupitant
Palonosetron chemically called as (5S)-3-[(3S)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-yl]-3-azatricyclo [7.3.1.05,¹³] trideca- (12), 9(13), 10-trien-2-one.it is a selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. The antiemetic activity of the drug is brought about through the inhibition of 5-HT3 receptors present both centrally (medullary chemoreceptor zone) and peripherally (GI tract). This inhibition of 5-HT3 receptors in turn inhibits the visceral afferent stimulation of the vomiting center, likely indirectly at the level of the area postrema, as well as through direct inhibition of serotonin activity within the area postrema and the chemoreceptor trigger zone. The chemical structure shown in figure 02

The review of literature revealed that several analytical methods have been reported for NTP and PLS in spectrophotometry, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), high-performance thin-layer chromatograph y [14-22] individually, and in the combination. To date, there are no reports for stability-indicating simultaneous estimation and forced degradation study of NTP and PLS.

Discussion
Robustness conditions like Flow minus (0.9ml/min), Flow plus (1.1ml/min), mobile phase minus (50B:50A), mobile phase plus (60B:40A), temperature minus (25°C) and temperature plus(35°C) was maintained and samples were injected in duplicate manner. System suitability parameters were not much affected and all the parameters were passed. %RSD was within the limit.

Conclusion
A simple, Accurate, precise method was developed for the simultaneous estimation of the Netupitant and Palonosetron in pharmaceutical dosage form. Retention time of Netupitant and Palonosetron were found to be 2.308min and 3.093min. %RSD of the Netupitant and Palonosetron were and found to be 0.9 and 0.6 respectively. %Recovery was obtained as 99.51% and 99.29% for Netupitant and Palonosetron respectively. LOD, LOQ values obtained from regression equations of Netupitant and Palonosetron were 1.84, 0.01 and 5.59, 0.03 respectively. Regression equation of Netupitant is y = 7232.8x + 3439.3., and y = 28857x + 97.732 of Palonosetron. Retention times were decreased and run time was decreased, so the method developed was simple and economical that can be adopted in regular Quality control test in Industries.
