Abstract
Objective: This study focuses on the development and validation of a sensitive, simple, accurate, precise and cost-effective Ultraviolet-Visible (UV) spectrophotometric method for the quantification of Linezolid, a widely used antibiotic in pharmaceutical formulations.
Methods: The analysis utilized a solvent system comprising 80% water and 20% methanol (v/v). The absorbance of standard solutions was measured and a calibration curve was constructed. Various analytical performance parameters, including linearity, range, precision, accuracy, Limit of Detection (LOD), Limit of Quantification (LOQ) and ruggedness, were determined following the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q2 (R1) guidelines.
Results: The maximum absorption peak (λmax) of Linezolid was determined to be 251 nm in the selected medium. Beer-Lambert’s law was valid in the concentration range of 0.5–9 μg/ml, with a high correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9955. The proposed method exhibited a recovery ranging from 99.08 to 100.37% with % Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) value consistently below 2%.
Conclusion: The study findings confirm the accuracy, precision and reproducibility of the developed method. Additionally, it is characterized by its simplicity, affordability, and time efficiency. Thus, this method can be effectively employed for the quantification of Linezolid in lipid nanoparticles.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Applied Pharmaceutics (Int J App Pharm) is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly (onward March 2017) open access journal devoted to the excellence and research in the pure pharmaceutics. This Journal publishes original research work that contributes significantly to further the scientific knowledge in conventional dosage forms, formulation development and characterization, controlled and novel drug delivery, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, molecular drug design, polymer-based drug delivery, nanotechnology, nanocarrier based drug delivery, novel routes and modes of delivery; responsive delivery systems, prodrug design, development and characterization of the targeted drug delivery systems, ligand carrier interactions etc. However, the other areas which are related to the pharmaceutics are also entertained includes physical pharmacy and API (active pharmaceutical ingredients) analysis. The Journal publishes original research work either as a Original Article or as a Short Communication. Review Articles on a current topic in the said fields are also considered for publication in the Journal.
