The aim of this study was to develop and validate a dissolution test for favipiravir release in a tablet dosage form using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). The dissolution method was developed by testing the solubility of favipiravir in media with different pH values. The results demonstrated that the best dissolution was achieved in phosphate buffer with a pH of 6.8. The amount of favipiravir that was released was about 100% after 30 min. The UHPLC method presented linearity (R = 1.000) in the concentration range of 0.044–0.44 mg/mL. The recovery parameter that was achieved ranged from 102.5% to 104.2%. The system suitability, repeatability, and intermediate precision RSD% results were found to be 0.36%, 1.99%, and 2.49%, respectively. In addition to these parameters and results, an F-test was performed using the Minitab 18 Statistical Software program for the intermediate precision and repeatability results. The standard and sample solutions were found to be stable for 2 days in their respective dissolution medium. This analytical method was also found to be selective for favipiravir. In conclusion, a simple and feasible dissolution method with a short run time of 2.5 min was developed and validated successfully. The obtained results demonstrated that the dissolution test developed here is adequate for its purpose and can be applied as the dissolution method for favipiravir in film-coated tablets for release analyses.
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.
