ABSTRACT
As per requisition of current regulatory requirements, simple, rapid and sensitive method by
33 factorial QbD approach was established and validated for Empagliflozin (EPZ) and
Metformin Hydrochloride (MTF) by RP-HPLC. Equipped with Reverse Phase (Agilent) C18
column (4.6mm x 100mm; 2.5?m), a 20?l injection loop and UV730D Absorbance detector
at 231nm wave length and running chemstation 10.1 software and drugs along with
degradants were separated via Methanol: (0.1% OPA) Water (70:30) of pH 3.2 as mobile
phase setting flow rate 0.7 ml/min at ambient temperature. The developed method was found
linear over the concentration range of 2-10 ?g/ml for EPZ and 20-100 ?g/ml for MTF while
detection limit and quantitation limit were found to be 0.629 ?g/ml, 1.23 ?g/ml and 1.03
?g/ml, 3.28 ?g/ml respectively for EPZ and MTF. There are no interfering peaks
underperformed degradation conditions. Therefore, a sensitive, robust, accurate and stability
indicating method was developed with high degree of practical utility.
