RESUMO
An innovative, selective and rapid reversed phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic [RP-HPLC] method for the analysis of cefadroxil in bulk material and oral solid dosage forms has been developed and validated. The Chromatographic system consisted of Sil-20A auto sampler, LC-20A pump and SPD-20A Uv/visible detector. The separation was achieved by C[18] column at ambient temperature with a mobile phase consisting of methanol: Phosphate buffer [10: 90] at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min. The method is reproducible, repeatable [%RSD for intra-day and inter-day ranged between 1.75-5.33% and 0.58-2.69%] and linear [R[2]=0.9935]. The LOD and LOq of the method were 0.5 and 1.0 microg/ml, respectively. The present RP-HPLC method was found to be sensitive, accurate, precise, rapid and cost effective that can be efficiently used in QC/QA laboratories for routine analysis of the raw materials as well as oral dosage formulations of cefadroxil
