Abstract
A simple, accurate and precise RP-HPLC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of chloroquine, pyrimethamine and cetirizine hydrochloride concentrations in bulk drug and human serum. The assay was performed using a mobile phase of methanol: water (70:30) at pH of 2.8±0.05 on the Purospher C-18 column with UV detection at 230nm and rosuvastatin used as an internal standard. The retention times observed for chloroquine, pyrimethamine and cetirizine hydrochloride were 3.5, 2.5 and 5.5minutes, respectively. The method was found to be specific for the assayed drugs showing a linear response in the concentration range of 1-100μg mL-1 with coefficients of determination values of (r=0.999). The method was developed and validated according to ICH guidelines. The method was used to monitor the serum samples and was found to be sensitive for therapeutic purposes, showing the potential to be a useful tool for routine analysis in laboratories.
