Development and Validation of Chromatographic Methods for Simultaneous Estimation of Aspirin and Pantoprazole Sodium in Pure and Mixture Form.

ABSTRACT

This technique is employed for the simultaneous quantification of aspirin (ASP) and pantoprazole sodium in both pure powder form and formulations. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method uses a C-18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) with a mobile phase consisting of 0.05 M disodium hydrogen phosphate and methanol in a 4060% v/v ratio. The flow rate is maintained at 1.0 mL/min. On a layer of silica gel 60F254 with an aluminum backing, the high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) separation was carried out with ethyl acetate and methanol (8 1.5 v/v) as the mobile phase. With a mean recovery of 100.54% and 99.55% for ASP and PNT, respectively, quantification was accomplished using the HPLC method with UV detection at 286 nm over the concentration range of 0.1-0.6 g/mL for PNT and 0.4-2.4 g/mL for ASP. With a mean recovery of 99.44% and 99.01% for ASP and PNT, respectively, quantification was achieved using the HPTLC method with UV detection at 298 nm over the concentration range of 400-2400 ng/spot for ASP and 100-600 ng/spot for PNT, respectively. The methods can be used for the simultaneous determination of ASP and PNT in pure powder form and formulations as they are simple, accurate and sensitive.
