Stability-Indicating High-Performance Column Liquid Chromatography and High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography Methods for the Determination of Olopatadine Hydrochloride in Tablet Dosage Form

摘要

This paper describes two simple, specific, accurate, and precise methods for estimation of olopatadine hydrochloride (OLO) in tablet dosage form. The first method is a stability-indicating isocratic RP-HPLC method. The analysis is performed on an RP-18 column using 0.1% orthophosphoric acid (adjusted to pH 4.5 with triethylamine)-acetonitrile (75 + 25, v/v) mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Paracetamol (PAR) was selected as the internal standard. Retention times of OLO and PAR were 11.30 +/- 0.02 and 4.70 +/- 0.03 min, respectively. For the HPTLC method, precoated silica gel 60 F(254) aluminum sheets were used as the stationary phase; the mobile phase was methanol-chloroform-ammonia (8 + 2 + 0.1, v/v/v). The detection of the analyte band was carried out at 301 nm, and its R(f) value was 0.46 +/- 0.03. The analytical methods were validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. Linear regression analysis data for the calibration plots showed a good linear relationship between response and concentration in the range of 0.1-1 mu g/mL and 0.1-0.9 mu g/band for HPLC and HPTLC, respectively.
