Development of Stability Indicating LC Method for the Estimation of Tolperisone in Bulk and Pharmaceutical Dosage Form

الملخص EN

A rapid, specific, and sensitive reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed and validated for analysis of tolperisone in both bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form.

The HPLC method was performed with a reversed phase C18 SunFire column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 mm particle size), detection at 261 nm and a mixture of methanol, water and pH 7.5 adjusted by use of 1% solution of triethylamine (60 : 40) as mobile phase.

The flow rate was 1.0 mL min−1 and effluents were monitored at 261 nm.

The retention time of tolperisone was 4.8 min.

Tolperisone was subjected to acid and alkali hydrolysis, chemical oxidation, wet hydrolysis, dry heat degradation, and sunlight degradation.

The degraded product peaks were well resolved from the pure drug peak with significant difference in their retention time values.

Stressed samples were assayed using developed LC method.

The proposed method was validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness.

The method was successfully applied to the estimation of tolperisone in tablet dosage forms.
