A new, simple, fast, reproducible and sensitive reversed phase HPLC method, using a new stationary phase containing embedded urea polar groups, has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of clobutinol hydrochloride (CLO) and doxylamine succinate (DOX) in syrups. The determination was carried out on a C8 urea column (125 mm x 3.9 mm i.d., 5 µm particle size) synthetized at the Liquid Chomatography Laboratory (LabCrom) of the Chemistry Institute of Unicamp.
The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile:
methanol:phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) in the gradient mode. The diode array detector (DAD) was operated at 230 nm for CLO and 262 nm for DOX. The method showed adequate precision, with relative standard deviations (RSD) less than 1%. The presence of the excipients did not interfere in the results of the analysis. Accuracy was determined by adding standards of the drugs to a placebo and good recovery values were obtained. The analytical curves were linear (r² 0.9999 for CLO and 0.9998 for DOX) over a wide concentration range (2.4-336 µg mL-1 for CLO and 2.3-63 µg mL-1 for DOX). The solutions were stable for at least 72 hours at room temperature. The criteria for validation using the ICH guidelines were fulfilled.
Um novo método simples, fácil e reprodutível, de fase reversa para CLAE, usando uma fase estacionária contendo um grupo polar, uréia, embutido, foi desenvolvido e validado para determinação simultânea de cloridrato de clobutinol (CLO) e succinato de doxilamina (DOX) em xarope. A determinação foi realizada em uma coluna C8 uréia (125 mm x 3,9 mm d.i., 5 µm tamanho de partícula) sintetizada em nosso laboratório (LabCrom).
