Abstract

Objective: A robust, simple, accurate, rapid, and selective bioanalytical high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established and validated to determine the tulobuterol hydrochloride in rat plasma. Methods: The protein precipitation method deproteinated analyte from rat plasma using acetone. The analysis of tulobuterol hydrochloride from rat plasma was accomplished using a mobile phase comprising of methanol: potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate buffer (0.05M; pH 4.0) in 90:10 (v/v) ratio run at 1.0 ml/min flow rate. Separation was carried on BDS hypersil C18 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm; 5 µ) at ambient temperature employing a 996 photodiode array (PDA) detector at 228 nm. Results: The linearity model was exhibited from 100-500 ng/ml with a good correlation of 0.999. Tulobuterol hydrochloride was efficiently separated at a retention time of 7.281 min. The percent recovery rate was between 100.21-100.46 %. The accuracy, precision, robustness, and ruggedness study showed relative standard deviation (%RSD) was within 2% (acceptable limit), and that revealed the method was efficient, precise, reliable, and reproducible. Conclusion: A simple, accurate, suitable method to quantitate tulobuterol hydrochloride in rat plasma was established using HPLC employed with a PDA detector that overcomes the increased cost for analysis. The developed method was successfully validated in rat plasma.
