This research describes the stability indicating RP-HPLC method in pharmaceutical tablet dosage forms for simultaneous estimation of Levocetirizine dihydrochloride (LEV) and Montelukast Sodium (MON). The proposed RP-HPLC method was developed using separation module Waters 2695 with PDA detector and chromatographic separation was performed at a flow rate of 1 mL / min using column Hypersil BDS C18 (250/4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a run time of 10 min. The mobile phase consisted of a 40:60% v / v Phosphate buffer and acetonitrile, pH with orthophosphoric acid was adjusted to 7.0 and the eluents were scanned at 230 nm using a PDA detector. Retention times for LEV and MON were 3.06 min, and 6.76 min, respectively. A linearity response was observed with a concentration range of 12.56-37.68 μg / mL for LEV and 23.78-71.20 μg / mL for MON. Limit of detection and limit of quantification for LEV are 0.079 µg/mL and 0.239 µg/mL and for MON are 0.156 µg/mL and 0.473 µg/mL, respectively. The stability indicating method was developed by subjecting the drugs to stress conditions such as acid, base hydrolysis, oxidation, neutral, photo-and thermal degradation, and the degraded products produced from the samples were successfully solved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
