The present study is a simple rapid, sensitive, selective and reproducible RP-HPLC method has been developed for the estimation of Triclosan in dental formulations. In present work a simple, sensitive and specific method (RP-HPLC assay, stability indicating RP-HPLC) has been developed by using a phenomenex, BDS C18, column having 5 µm particle size and 150 mm × 4.6 mm in length and gradient mode, with mobile phase containing acetic acid buffer (pH 2.5, adjusted with formic acid) and acetonitrile in the ratio of 30:70. The flow rate was 1.2 mL/min and effluents were monitored by PDA detector at 281nm. Injection volume was 20 µL. The method is linear (1-50 µg/mL). The regression equation was y = 7311x-2307 (r 2 = 0.997). The method was validated for linearity, precision, accuracy, ruggedness, and forced degradation studies were performed. Estimation of triclosan was done in 3 dental formulations. Recoveries from formulations were between 98% and 102%. Limit of detection and limit of quantification was 0.101433 and 0.3333µg/mL, respectively. All the validation parameters are within the acceptance range. INTRODUCTION: Triclosan (5-chloro-2-(2,4dichlorophenoxy)phenol) Fig. 1 is a strong broadspectrum anti-microbial agent used in many consumer products, such as anti-bacterial soaps, toothpaste, cosmetics, clothing, kitchenware, and toys 1. Triclosan is a relatively small molecule , with a molecular weight of 289.54 g/mol and a diameter of about 7.4 Å 2. It is a white solid at standard temperature and pressure, with a boiling point in the range of 280-290 °C and a melting point in the range of 56-58 °C. Triclosan has a low partition coefficient (log Po/w= 4.7) 3. The partition coefficient is a ratio of solubility between two liquids, typically octanol and water.
