A validated rapid and sensitive capillary zone electrophoretic method for the determination of olopatadine hydrochloride (OLO) is described. Optimum conditions were found: 20 mmol/L sodium tetraborate buffer, acetonitrile 15% (v/v), 10 mmol/L NaCl at pH 9.5, with 25 kV of applied potential, injection time of 10 s at 5 × 103 N/m2, at a wavelength of 205 nm, and fixed temperature of 30°C. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 1.13 × 10-5 mol/L (4.22 μg/mL) to 5.65 × 10-5 mol/L (21.12 μg/mL), with R = 0.9995 for interday precision. LOD and LOQ values were 1.58 × 10-6 (0.58 μg/mL) and 4.78 × 10-6 mol/L (1.75 μg/mL), respectively. Precision values were 1.10-1.97% for intraday and 1.41% for interday RSDs. Accuracy was tested by preparing a synthetic mixture whose composition was similar to the pharmaceutical preparation for Patanol. The RSDs of the recovery values (98.2%) were between 0.42 and 0.65% and the amount of OLO found was 1.09 mg/mL. The result was within the requirements of USP 31-NF 26. Therefore, this validated method is suggested for routine analysis for the determination of OLO in laboratories.
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.
