Simultaneous determination of methocarbamol and aspirin in presence of their pharmacopeial-related substances in combined tablets using novel HPLC-DAD method.
Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy 2019 Februrary
Objective and Significance: Methocarbamol (MET) and aspirin (ASP) are widely used as a muscle relaxant combination. The USP reports guaifenesin (GUA) and salicylic acid (SAL) as related substances and hydrolytic products of MET and ASP, respectively. This work aimed at developing and validating a simple and sensitive RP-HPLC method for the determination of both drugs as well as their related substances (at their pharmacopeial limits) in their bulk powders, laboratory prepared mixtures, and MET-ASP combined tablets. Methods and Results: Chromatographic separation was achieved in less than 9 min with the required resolution, peak symmetry, and accuracy on C18 column using isocratic elution system of diluted acetic acid (pH 3.2): acetonitrile at the ratio of 79: 21, v/v, at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Detection was achieved with photodiode array at 233 nm for MET, GUA, and SAL and at 273 nm for ASP. The developed method has been validated as per ICH guidelines and the calibration plots were linear over the concentration ranges of 2-150, 0.4-30, 25-450, and 0.2-27 μg/mL for MET, GUA, ASP, and SAL, respectively. Conclusion: The optimized method proved to be specific, robust and precise for the quality control of the studied drugs in pharmaceutical preparations to ascertain that their related substances are not exceeding the permitted pharmacopeial limits.
