ABSTRACT
The primary goal of this research work was to develop a simple, precise, accurate and
specific method for the estimation of Ezetimibe and Fenofibrate in bulk and pharmaceutical
dosage form by RP-HPLC. Method development was carried out by HPLC autosampler
Schimadzu 2030C 3D Plus with a stationary phase of YMC C8 column(150mmx
4.6mm.ld,3µ,12nm) using mobile phase Acetonitrile: Methanol: Phosphate buffer adjusted to
pH 3 with OPA in the ratio 55:15:30v/v/v at a flow rate 1.0mL/min with the injection volume
of 20µL and detection is carried out at 255nm. The retention time for Ezetimibe and
Fenofibrate was found to be2.458minutes and 7.488minutes. The developed RP-HPLC
method was validated as per International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines
with respect to system suitability, specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity range, limit of
detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ) and robustness. The % recovery ranged
between 98-102% and %RSD was <2%. Linearity was observed in concentration range of 2-
10µg/mL for Ezetimibe and 60-180µg/mL for Fenofibrate with a correlation coefficient
0.9998 for Ezetimibe and 0.999 for Fenofibrate. Hence can be used for routine analysis in
industries and institutes.
