High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Diuretic-Antihypertensive Combination Products. II. Polythiazide and Reserpine

摘要

A high performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of polythiazide and reserpine in tablets is described. Polythiazide, reserpine, and vanillin (an excipient) are separated isocratically on an octadecylsilane column using a methanol-water-acetic acid (55:44:1) mobile phase. The column effluent was monitored by ultraviolet ab-sorbance at 254 nm. Recoveries from synthetic formulations were 100.2 ± 1.7% for polythiazide and 98.7 ± 1.1% for reserpine.
