Abstract
Valproic acid and its derivatives are common drugs used in the treatment of epilepsy, a result of CNS disorders. Because the molecular structure of valproic acid, as a fatty acid, does not contain any chromophore groups, its peak response demanded special conditions to be detected in HPLC, ensuring the best precision results. Still, the current approach illustrates simple, validated procedures for conduction. The conducted chromatographic system consists of the BDS Hypersil C8, 150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm column using a mobile phase of acetonitrile: phosphate buffer (4:6) at a detection wavelength of 215 nm at room temperature. A full method validation study was conducted and approved to ensure precise, repeatable, and accurate results by implementing system suitability parameters. In microbiological terms, a suitability test is used to validate microbiological testing methods, ensuring their efficacy despite potential interference from antimicrobial properties in the tested materials. The HPLC-UV developed and validated analytical method was evaluated, and it was found to be sensitive for use in the detection of low concentrations of methylparaben, propylparaben, and valproate with an optimum run time of six minutes. limit of detection (LODs) were statistically estimated and found to be 2.27 µg/mL, 39.77 ng/mL, and 1.84 µg/mL for methylparaben, propylparaben, and valproate, respectively. Additionally, the method demonstrated a high recovery of methylparaben, propylparaben, and valproate with an excellent closed-accuracy range (98.84% - 101.34%). An excellent regression coefficient (r) of 0.99924, 0.99998, and 0.99997 for methylparaben, valproate, and propylparaben, respectively, was achieved. Assay determination of various pharmaceutical dosage forms in the local market was implemented, yielding admirable results.
