DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A SIMPLE AND RAPID RP- HPLC METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF METRONIDAZOLE AND NORFLOXACIN IN COMBINED DOSAGE FORM
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
The present investigation describes about a simple, economic, selective, accurate, precise reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous estimation of Metronidazole and Norfloxacin in pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Metronidazole and Norfloxacin were well separated using a Thermohypersil BDS C18, (5 μ, 150 x 4.6mm) and a mobile phase consisting of Phosphate buffer pH- 4.6: ACN (45:55) at the flow rate 1 ml/min and the detection was carried out at 254nm with UV detector. The Retention time for Metronidazole and Norfloxacin were found to be 2.440 & 4.510 respectively. The developed method was validated for recovery, specificity, precision, accuracy, linearity according to ICH guidelines. The method was successfully applied to Metronidazole and Norfloxacin combination pharmaceutical dosage form.
