title: Simultaneous determination of gliquidone, pioglitazone hydrochloride, and verapamil in formulation and human serum by RP-HPLC.
abstract: In the present study, a reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography method was developed, validated and applied for the simultaneous determination of gliquidone, pioglitazone hydrochloride and verapamil in tablets and human serum. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 column (5 μm, 25 × 0.46 cm) with a mobile phase consisting of methanol-water-acetonitrile (80:10:10 v/v/v) with a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min and pH adjusted to 3.50 with phosphoric acid at 230 nm. Glibenclamide was used as internal standard. The experimentally derived limit of detection and limit of quantitation were determined to be 0.24, 0.93, 0.40, and 0.80, 3.11, 1.36 μg/mL for gliquidone, pioglitazone, and verapamil, respectively. There were no interfering peaks due to the excipients present in the pharmaceutical tablets. Thus, the proposed method is simple and suitable for the simultaneous analysis of active ingredients in dosage forms and human serum.
