A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) system is described for the determination of liothyronine sodium (NaT3) and levothyroxine sodium (NaT4) in tablets using an octadecylsilane reversed-phase (RP-18) column packing with a mobile phase consisting of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, methanol, and water at 44 degrees C. After extracting the active ingredient from the excipients with dilute sodium hydroxide, an aliquot was chromatographed and the components were detected and quantitated by their UV spectrophotometric response at 254 nm.
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.
