title: Reversed-phase HPLC methods for purity test and assay of pioglitazone hydrochloride in tablets.
abstract: A reversed-phase gradient HPLC method was developed for the evaluation of pioglitazone hydrochloride (PG-HCl) in tablets. Limit of detection for PG-HCl was found to be 42 ng/ml. Analyses were performed on a C18 column (Symmetry C18, 5 microm, 250 x 4.6 mm), mobile phase was a mixture of ammonium formate buffer adjusted with formic acid to pH 4.1 and acetonitrile. Shortened purity method was used as the assay method. Methods were validated.
