title: Validated specific HPLC methods for determination of prazosin, terazosin and doxazosin in the presence of degradation products formed under ICH-recommended stress conditions.
abstract: The present paper describes development of stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay methods for three alpha-adrenergic-blocker drug substances, namely, prazosin, terazosin and doxazosin, in the presence of degradation products generated from forced decomposition studies. Resolution of drugs from degradation products was obtained using a reversed-phase C-18 column using water/acetonitrile/methanol/glacial acetic acid/diethylamine (25:35:40:1:0.017) as mobile phase for prazosin and terazosin and acetonitrile/water/glacial acetic acid/diethylamine (65:35:1:0.02) for doxazosin. The detection was done at 254 nm. The methods were validated with respect to linearity, precision, accuracy, specificity and robustness.
