Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC method for determination of chlorociprofloxacin in ciprofloxacin hydrochloride.
METHODS The analysis was performed on a Welch Ultimate Plus C
18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm,5 μm) with gradient elution.The flow rate was 1.5 mL·min
–1,and the detection wavelength was 278 nm.
RESULTS The other impurities and ciprofloxacin was completely separated from chlorociprofloxacin.Chlorociprofloxacin revealed good linearity over the range of 1.050–10.5 μg·mL
–1(
r=0.999 9),and the average recovery was 108.8%,while the RSD was 1.97%.
CONCLUSION The method is rapid,accurate,sensitive,and can be well control the quality of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride.
