DEVELOPMENT OF SIMPLE HPLC METHOD TO ESTIMATE THE BLOOD PLASMA CONCENTRATION OF EFAVIRENZ IN RAT AFTER ORAL ADMINISTRATION
Keywords:
Efavirenz, Atorvastatin, HPLC, PharmacokineticsAbstract
Objective: The present study was design with an objective of developing a simple and rapid high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of Efavirenz (EFA) in rat plasma.
Methods: Chromatographic separation was achieved on C18 column using acetonitrile-50 mM potassium phosphate (55:45 v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and UV detection at 250 nm.
Results: The retention time of EFA was found to be 13.2 min. The developed method was validated for linearity, limit of quantification (LOQ), limit of detection (LOD), Stability and selectivity. Linearity studies were found to be acceptable over the range of 5-50 μg/ml.
Conclusion: The present analytical method was found to be specific, sensitive, accurate and precise for quantification of EFA in rat plasma. It can be successively applied for pharmacokinetics studies also.
