ABSTRACT
A simple, selective, rapid, precise and economical reverse phase high
pressure liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the
estimation of Efavirenz from pharmaceutical formulation. The method
was carried out on a Princeton SPHER C18 (25 cm x 4.6 mm i.d., 5 μ)
column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: potassium
Dihydrogen ortho phosphate (adjusted to pH 3.5 using orthophosphoric
acid) (50:50 v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. Detection was carried
out at 254 nm. Theophylline was used as an internal standard.The
retention time of Efavirenz and Theophylline was 2.45 and 3.10 min,
respectively. The developed method was validated in terms of accuracy,
precision, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantitation and solution
stability.The proposed method can be used for the estimation of
Efavirenz in pharmaceutical dosage form.
Keywords: Efavirenz, Pharmaceutical Formulation.
