A QbD Based RP-HPLC Method for Stability Indicating Impurity Profiling of Pyridoxine: Method Development, Validation, and Application

Abstract

Pyridoxine impurity profiling in bulk and formulations was devised and validated using a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) strategy. The technique was fine-tuned using an Analytical quality by design (QbD) approach, ensuring its dependability and sturdiness. Linearity, accuracy, and precision were carefully examined as key performance indicators. With a relative standard deviation (RSD) < 2%, the approach showed exceptional precision, excellent recovery rates (100 and, 101.2%), and a strong correlation value (R2 = 0.9990). The technique has been used successfully for impurity profiling, and because it indicates stability, it can be used for long-term stability studies. The work contributes to the body of knowledge and has applications for pharmaceutical quality assurance.
