SIMULTANEOUS DETERMINATION OF CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE, PARACETAMOL AND PSEUDOEPHEDRINE HYDROCHLORIDE IN PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS BY HPLC

Life Sciences-Chemistry

Abstract

A simple, precise and specific reverse-phase High performance liquid chromatography method was developed for identification and simultaneous determination of Chlorpheniramine maleate, Paracetamol and Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride in capsules and liquids. The separation of three components was performed on C18, 150 x 4.6 mm, 5μ HPLC column using gradient mobile phase Methanol-Sodium Perchlorate (0.043M, 2 mLTriethylamine, pH 5.0) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL, detection was at 204nm for Chlopheniramine maleate, Pseudoephedrine and 300 nm for Paracetamol.Results have shown good separation of the three component:The recovery of the drugs ranged from 98 to 102%.Validation results showed that the method is selective, linear, accurate and precise.
