High performance liquid chromatographic determination of oxeladin citrate and oxybutynin hydrochloride and their degradation products.
Two high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods are presented for the determination of oxeladin citrate (OL) and oxybutynin hydrochloride (OB) and their degradation products. The first method was based on HPLC separation of OL from its degradation product using a Nucleosil C(18) column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile -0.1% phosphoric acid (60:40 v/v). The second method was based on HPLC separation of OB from its degradation product using a VP-ODS C(18) column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile/0.01 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate/diethylamine (60:40:0.2). Quantitation was achieved with UV detection at 220 nm based on peak area. The two HPLC methods were applied for the determination of OL or OB, their degradation products, methylparaben and propylparaben in pharmaceutical preparations. The proposed methods were used to investigate the kinetics of acidic and alkaline degradation processes of OL and OB at different temperatures and the apparent pseudofirst-order rate constant, half-life and activation energy were calculated. The pH-rate profiles of degradation of OL and OB in Britton-Robinson buffer solutions within the pH range 2-12 were studied.
