HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY METHODOLOGY FOR BIFONAZOLE ESTIMATION: DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION INSIGHTS Authors: Lalan MS , NAIK MV AND BHATT TC
ABSTRACT
The objective of the present study was to develop a simple, sensitive, specific and reliable high
performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of Bifonazole (BFN) in
pharmaceutical formulations. Separations were made by using C18- column (4.6 × 250mm i.d.,
particle size 5?m) HSS (High Strength Silica). The mobile phase used was a mixture of
Acetonitrile: Water in the ratio of 70:30 v/v isocratic at 40º C. The mobile phase flow rate was
1mL/min with injection volume of 10?L. Sample detection was done by PDA detector at 254
nm with a retention time of 6.747 minute. Developed HPLC method was validated in
compliance to ICH guideline Q2 (R1) and various validation parameters Specificity, Linearity,
Accuracy, Precision, Limit of detection (LOD), Limit of quantification (LOQ), Robustness
were determined. The developed method was independent of pH adjustment and use of buffers.
The method was successfully employed in determination of BFN in pharmaceutical
formulations and can be a speedy and cost-effective quality control means for routine
quantitative analysis of BFN.
