A suitable and efficient high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of tuberculostatic isoniazid and its related impurities, isonicotinic acid and isonicotinamide, in oral solid dosage forms. We studied the influence on chromatographic separation of mobile phase parameters, such as pH, ion pairing and ionic strength, as well as column bonded phase and brands. The use of buffer solution pH 6.8:acetonitrile 96:4 (v/v) at 0.8 mL min −1 , C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm), allowed proper separation of these ionizable analytes without the need of ion pairing agents. The limit of quantification of the method (0.1 µg mL −1 ) was suitable for the analysis of impurities. A drug-excipient compatibility study was carried out with the anaytical method proposed in this work and addressed frequent excipients used in isoniazid coated tablets. The dye FD&C blue 2 lake promoted the highest degradation of the tuberculostatic agent.
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.
