DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF UPLC METHOD FOR ESTIMATION OF PAROXETINE AND CLONAZEPAM Authors: Soundarya M And Sravanthi CH*
ABSTRACT
Validation is a documented program that provides a high degree of assurance that a facility or
operation will consistently produce product meeting a predetermined specification. The present
paper illustrates about development and validation of a new, simple, precise and accurate UPLC
method for the determination of the paroxetine and clonazepam in bulk and its dosage forms.
Mobile phase composition is acetonitrile, methanol and buffer were mixed in the ratio of
10:50:40. Linearity of the method was established by analysis of mixed standard solution
containing 250-750 ?g/ml for paroxetine and 10-30 ?g/ml for clonazepam. The calibration
curves drawn by plotting the response versus concentration were found to be linear and their
coefficient of correlations (R2) values are 0.9993 and 0.9997 for paroxetine and clonazepam
respectively. The good percentage recovery of the sample clearly indicates. The reproducibility
and accuracy of the developed method. Similarly, the RSD value for precision was found to be
within acceptable limit. The method can be useful for the day-to-day routine analysis in the
quality control departments of bulk and pharmaceutical formulations industries.
