Gas chromatographic method for the determination of lumefantrine in antimalarial finished pharmaceutical products
A simple method has been developed and validated for quantitative determination of lumefantrine in antimalarial finished pharmaceutical products using gas chromatography coupled to flame ionization detector. Lumefantrine was silylated with N,Oebis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoro-acetamide at 70C for 30 minutes, and chromatographic separation was
conducted on a fused silica capillary (HP-5, 30 m length 0.32 mm i.d., 0.25 mm film thickness) column. Evaluation of the method within analytical quality-by-design principles,including a central composite face-centered design for the sample derivatization process and PlacketteBurman robustness verification of the chromatographic conditions,
indicated that the method has acceptable specificity toward excipients and degradants,accuracy [mean recovery ¼ 99.5%, relative standard deviation (RSD) ¼ 1.0%], linearity (¼0.9986), precision (intraday ¼ 96.1% of the label claim, RSD ¼ 0.9%; interday ¼ 96.3% label claim, RSD ¼ 0.9%), and high sensitivity with detection limits of 0.01 mg/mL. The developed method was successfully applied to analyze the lumefantrine content of marketed fixeddose combination antimalarial finished pharmaceutical products.
