LC determination of atropine sulfate and scopolamine hydrobromide in pharmaceuticals.
An accurate, simple, reproducible and sensitive method for the determination of atropine sulfate and scopolamine hydrobromide has been developed and validated. Atropine sulfate and scopolamine hydrobromide were separated using a microBondapack C(18) column by isocratic elution with flow rate 1.0 ml/min. The mobile phase composition was methanol, water, formic acid (165:35:1; v/v/v) and pH adjusted 8.3 with triethylamine. The samples were detected at 230 nm using photo-diode array detector. The linear range of detection for atropine sulfate (I) and scopolamine hydrobromide (II) were between 10.38 and 1038 microg/ml with a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 10.38, 10.00 and 1034 microg/ml with an LOQ of 10.00 microg/ml respectively. The linearity, range, peak purity, selectivity, system performance parameters, precision, accuracy, robustness and ruggedness for (I) and (II) were also shown acceptable values.
