To develop a simple, specific, accurate and precise high performance thin layer chromatography method for simultaneous estimation of Lidocaine and Prilocaine in a topical local anesthetic cream. The mixture of Prilocaine and Lidocaine separated on Aluminum precoated silica gel 60 F254 plates using di-isopropyl ether: methanol: ammonia (10: 0.5: 0.1 % v/v/v) as mobile phase and detection was carried a wavelength of 225 nm The method was validated as per ICH guidelines. The Rf value was found to be 0.45 ± 0.03 for Prilocaine and 0.55 ± 0.02 for Lidocaine, respectively. Linearity was observed in the concentration range of 100-600 ng/spot for both Lidocaine and Prilocaine, respectively. HPTLC method was validated according to ICH guideline and values of linearity, precision, robustness, LOD, LOQ, selectivity, recovery were found to be in good accordance with the prescribed value. Conclusion: The proposed method can be used successfully for routine analysis of Lidocaine and Prilocaine in their topical formulation.
