ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this work is to develop and validate a simple, synchronous and novel
UPLC method for stability indicating assay method to estimate Aclidinium bromide and
formoterolfumarate in both bulk and its dosage form. Materials and Methods: This method is
based on isocratic elution using HiberC18( 100x 2.1mm 1.8?) column with phosphatebuffer :
Acetonitrile (60:40) mobile phase . Detection was monitored at 240nm with flow rate 0.3ml/min.
Results: The method was validated in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection
(LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ) etc. in accordance with ICH guidelines. The retention
times of Aclidinium and formoterol are 1.09 and 1.39, respectively. Linear regression analysis
data for the calibration plot showed that there was good linear relationship between response and
concentration in the range for Aclidinium 100-600?g/ml and formoterol 3-18?g/ml. Conclusion:
No chromatographic interference from dry powder inhaler’s excipients and degradants were
found. The proposed method was successfully used for concurrent estimation of Aclidinium and
formoterol in dry powder inhaler dosage form.
