摘要
A new rapid and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of atorvastatin—an antihyperlipidemic drug along with most commonly prescribed drugs (antihyperlipidemic, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antithrombotic) in bulk and marketed combined formulations. The chromatographic separation was carried out by gradient elution mode with acetonitrile as organic modifier and 0.1% triethylamine acetate (TEAA) buffer pH 5 at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and a diode array detector at wavelength 230 nm was employed for detection of the analytes. Calibration curves were linear in the range of 5-150 mg/mL for all the drugs with correlation coefficients of determination (r 2 values)Z0.999. Limits of detection (LODs) and Limits of quantification (LOQs) ranged from 0.1 to 0.27 mg/mL and 0.3 to 0.89 mg/mL respectively. Intra-day and inter-day precision was studied at three concentration levels (20, 60 and 100 mg/mL). The intra-day and inter-day RSD for all compounds was less than 2.0%. The accuracy for all compounds was found to be between 98% and 102%. Thus, the performance of the method described allows its use in quantification of atorvastatin along with 9 most commonly prescribed drugs available in market as atorvastatin combined dosage forms.
