Abstract
A novel, accurate and precise chiral reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatographic method was developed for enantioselective analysis of guaifenesin (GFN) in bulk and tablet dosage forms. Chiral separation was achieved on phenomenex Lux Cellulose-4 column (250×4.6mm, 5μ) using 0.02% formic acid: acetonitrile (90:10 V/V) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1mL/min at 230nm. The retention times of GFN enantiomers A and B was 15 and 16 minutes, respectively, with good peak resolutions and showing good linearity in the concentration range of 10-50 μg/mL (R2 > 0.999). The developed method was validated as per the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and the results were well within the acceptable limits. The percentage assay in tablet dosage form was found to be 98.8 and 98.2 respectively, for enantiomers A and B and was with in the compendial specifications, demonstrating the suitability of developed method for enantioselective analysis of guaifenesin racemic mixture.
