A REVIEW ON ANALYTICAL METHODS OF RIBAVIRIN IN PHARMACEUTICALS Authors: Sai Tejaswi A , HARITHA CHOWDARY D, PRACHET P AND RAMA RAO N
ABSTRACT
The present review focuses on estimation of Ribavirin its combination of drugs by different
analytical techniques. Ribavirin is very effectively used as an antiviral drug. It isused with an
interferon medication such as peginterferon alfa-2a [Pegasys] or peginterferon alpha-2b
[PEG-Intron]) to treat hepatitis C. In this review various analytical methods such as Highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC), High performance thin layer chromatography
(HPTLC), Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (LC-MS) for the estimation of
Ribavirin in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms in various researchers’ publications. This
review enlightens the various solvents and conditions suitable for the estimation of Ribavirin
and its combination of drugs. The techniques illustrated here may find application in the
qualitative and quantitative estimation of Ribavirin and in analysing other related properties.
