ESTIMATION OF ELETRIPTAN HYDROBROMIDE IN ORAL FILM DOSAGE FORM BY RP-HPLC
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Drug Research - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
A simple, precise, rapid and accurate RP-HPLC method was developed for the percentage drug release estimation of Eletriptan Hydrobromide in oral film dosage form. Eletriptan Hydrobromide is used to treat severe migraine headaches and it’s associated to nausea and sensitivity to light. Eletriptan Hydrobromide oral films were prepared by solvent casting method. It is available in market as conventional tablets (Relpax). An Xterra RP18 (150 × 4.6 with 5 microns particle size) and the mobile phase, consisting of KH2PO4 and triethylamine in water adjusting the pH-7.0 with o-phosphoric acid: acetonitrile in ratio of 98:2 v/v & acetonitrile: methanol HPLC Grade (80:20 v/v) was used as mobile phase in isocratic mode. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the effluents were monitored at 225 nm. The retention time was 7.0 minutes and the detector response was linear in the concentration of 6.60-99.02µg/mL for Eletriptan Hydrobromide. The respective linear regression equation being Y = 11447 X + 5508 for Eletriptan Hydrobromide. The Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantification (LOQ) were not applicable for dissolution parameter. The method was validated by determining its accuracy, precision, linearity and system suitability. The results of the study showed that the proposed RP-HPLC method is simple, rapid, precise, linear and accurate, which is useful for the routine estimation of percentage drug release of Eletriptan Hydrobromide in oral film dosage form.
