A NEW VALIDATED STABILITY INDICATING RP-HPLC METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF GRAZOPREVIR AND ELBASVIR IN TABLET DOSAGE FORMS
AbstractA combination of Grazoprevir and Elbasvir is used to treat Hepatitis C virus (HCV). A selective, accurate and precise RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of these drugs in combined tablet dosage forms. The drugs were resolved on a BDS C18 column using 0.1% orthophosphoric acid: Acetonitrile (45:55 v/v) as the mobile phase. The detection wavelength was 260 nm. The retention times obtained for Grazoprevir and Elbasvir were 2.400 & 3.018 min respectively. The linearity ranges were 25-150 & 12.5-75µg/ml respectively with Regression coefficients of 0.999. The % R.S.D. of precision studies was found to be 0.6 & 0.4 respectively. The accuracy of the proposed method was determined by recovery studies and the mean recovery was 99.14 & 100.34%, respectively. The method was also applicable for quantitative analyses of the marketed tablet formulations and in studying the stability of the drugs under acidic, alkaline, oxidation, thermal and UV conditions.
