Abstract. Stability studies of drugs by stress study is a very than in an accelerated stability study. The exact conditions
important process which is done by treating the study drug of performing forced degradation studies are chosen based
with different stress agents, with the aim to define the critical on physical and chemical characteristics of the drug [4]. In
factors affecting the stability of the drug, to accurately define this paper, forced degradation studies conducted on
the storage conditions of the drug, as well as to identify the bisporolol fumarate (BF) is presented. Degree of degrada-
resulting degradation products. In this paper, stress studies of tion was followed by previously validated Hydrophilic In-
bisoprolol fumarate were performed, in order to examine teraction Liquid Chromatography (HILIC) with UV detec-
what are the stress agents that affect its stability.For the anal-
tion [5]. In order to confirm structure of main degradation
ysis previously optimized and validated HILIC method was
product UPLC/MS/MS method was used. Literature survey
usedIt was demonstrated that oxidative stress agent has the
shown that there are no papers dealing with monitoring of
largest effect on the degradation of bisoprolol fumarate, and
BF degradation by HILIC method. This is the first time that
then the acid and base stress agent successively. Water, as a
neutral medium, and light had no significant effect on the degradation of BF was followed by HILIC which is espe-
stability of bisoprolol fumarate. During degradation under cially useful when more polar compounds appear in degra-
acid conditions impurity A was formed and it was confirmed dation process. Some previously published papers related to
with UPLC/MS/MS method. In order to more clearly define degradation of BF are given in the papers described in the
the processes of degradation, kinetic studies of degradation of references 6–9. No data on this subject.
bisoprolol fumarate have been carried out, in order to deter-
mine the order of the reaction rate of degradation and degra-
dation half-time, which provided clearer definition of the Materials and Methods
