RP-HPLC method validation for fast extraction and quantification of Levonorgestrel drug from silicone based intrauterine device intended for in-process and finished formulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To develop and validate a simple and consistent reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the estimation of Levonorgestrel (LNG) drug from silicone based intrauterine device.

Methods

Sample solution was prepared using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvent for the drug extraction, and RP-HPLC analysis was performed using Luna C18 analytical column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm, 100 Å - Phenomenex), with a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of acetonitrile and water (50:50, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and injection volume of 20 μl. Detection was carried out at 241 nm in PDA detector, with a total run time of 15 min. The method was validated in accordance with ICH guidelines. Method applicability was tested for optimizing formulation using q
