The Mobile phase flow rate was 0.6 ml/min and data integration was achieved at 235 nm.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The retention time of ABA was 5.4±0.01 min. Linearity was found to be in the range of 5–30 μg/ml. The limit of detection and quantitation were 0.25 μg/ml and 0.75 μg/ml respectively, and percentage recovery of ABA was found to be 99.52 to 100.13 %. Mass spectral data of base degraded product of ABA shows a prominent molecular ion peak at m/z-391.5. Major fragmentation leads to formation of 10–Methyl 2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15-dodecanhydro-1H cyclopenta (α)phenanthren-3-ol as a degradant (D<sub>2</sub>) at m/z-257.81, due to corresponding loss of C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>12</sub>ON. All the analytical validation parameters were determined and found in the limit as per ICH guidelines.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Conclusion</strong><strong>: </strong>The results of the various validation studies showed that the LC method is fast, specific, accurate, reproducible, possessed significant linearity and precision. The drug was found to be stable under all the stress conditions except basic stress. Thus developed method reported first time is novel with a very short run time of 6 min.</p><p> </p> ER -
