ABSTRACT
The study was aimed at developing a HPLC method to identify and quantify domiphen bromide, tripelennamine hydrochloride and clioquinol in Viosept ointment. The tested substances were successfully separated using Inertsil ODS-3 (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 µm) as a stationary phase and a gradient elution. Detection at 310 nm wavelength was applied for tripelennamine hydrochloride and clioquinol, and at 215 nm wavelength for domiphen bromide. Methods of extraction of the tested substances were developed: domiphen bromide and clioquinol were extracted with acetone from heated solutions, and tripelennamine hydrochloride was extracted in a hexane-water system. Validation procedure confirmed the method to be sufficiently selective, precise and accurate. Correlation coefficients of calibration curves pointed out that they were linear within the examined concentration range.
