A simple, accurate and reproducible RP-HPLC method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of lamivudine, zidovudine and abacavir in tablet dosage forms. Chromatography was carried out on a HiQ Sil C 18 V column using a mobile phase consisting of 0.01 M potassium dihydrogenortho-phosphate (pH 3.0) and methanol (55:45 v/v) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The detection was made at 272 nm and stavudine was used as the internal standard for this study. The retention times for lamivudine, abacavir and zidovudine were found to be 3.8, 6.3, 8.1 min. respectively. The calibration curves were linear over the range 5-250 μg/mL for both zidovudine and abacavir and 5-140 μg/mL for lamivudine. The proposed method was validated as per ICH and USP guidelines and it was found suitable for the routine quality control analysis of the drugs in tablet dosage forms.
A reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of simvastatin and ezetimibe in tablet dosage forms. The separation was effected on a C18 Supelcosil column (250 mm x 4.6 mm; 5µ) using a mobile phase consisting of 0.01 M ammonium acetate buffer and acetonitrile (35:65v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The detection was made at 240 nm. The retention times for ezetimibe and simvastatin were 5.9 and 8.5 min respectively. Calibration curves were linear over the ranges of 0.5-40 µg/mL for simvastatin and 2.5-50 µg/mL for ezetimibe. The proposed method was validated as per the ICH and USP guidelines. The method is accurate and precise and found to be suitable for the quantitative analysis of both the drugs individually and in combination in tablet dosage forms.
A stability indicating RP HPLC method has been developed for the determination of gemcitabine hydrochloride. Chromatography was carried out on an ODS C18column (250×4.6 mm; 5μ) using a mixture of methanol and phosphate buffer (40: 60 v/v ) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection of the drug was monitored at 270 nm. The retention time of the drug was found to be 2.31 min. The method produced linear responses in the concentration range of 10 to 60 μg/mL of gemcitabine HCl. The method was found to be reproducible for analysis of the drug in injectable dosage forms. The stability of the drug was assessed by forced degradation studies.
A rapid, selective and sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic method for the estimation of nevirapine in human plasma has been developed. Chromatography was carried out on a Hypersil BDS C 18 column using a mixture of ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.0 + 0.05) and acetonitrile (85:15 v/v) as the mobile phase. The eluents were monitored for the drug by UV detection at 254 nm. Oxcarbazepine was used as an internal standard for this study. The retention times for nevirapine and oxcarbazepine were found to be 7.2 and 14.7 min respectively. The method was found to be linear in the concentration range of 50 ng/mL to 5003.7 ng/mL. The method was validated as per FDA guidelines and was found to be suitable for bioequivalence and pharmacokinetic studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
