Abstract

The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with an ultra violet detector has been developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of pyridoxine hydrochloride (PH) and pyrathiazine theoclate (PT) in antiemetic tablet preparations. The separation process occurs in the Inertsil® ODS-3 column at a wavelength of 280 nm with a flow rate of 1.0 mL /min. The optimal mobile phase for separation is a mixture of methanol-acetic acid 1% (20:80) with the retention times of PH and PT 1.2 and 9.8 minutes respectively. The recoveries of PH and PT were 100.13 and 99.78%, respectively. The detection limits for PH and PT were 0.21 and 0.22 µg / mL respectively, while the quantisation limits were 0.70 and 0.72 µg / mL, respectively. This method can be applied as a method for simultaneous estimating the levels of pyridoxine hydrochloride and pyrathiazine theoclate in tablet dosage form.
