Abstract

Background: A novel, rapid, and easy liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the simultaneous measurement of clavulanic acid and cefdinir in tablets.


Methods: Reverse phase C18 column was used for the chromatographic separation, isocratic application of methanol-20.0 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3) (35:65, v/v) was used as the mobile phase system.


Results: For clavulanic acid and cefdinir, the linearity ranges were determined to be 7.5-35.0 μg/mL and 18.0-84.0 μg/mL, respectively. It was calculated that the limits of quantification and detection for cefdinir and clavulanic acid, respectively, were 1.91 and 0.63 μg/mL and 1.33 and 0.44 μg/mL. Clavulanic acid and cefdinir were found to have mean recoveries of 96.645-104.26% and 96.60-98.52%, respectively. The suggested techniques were effectively used to identify commercially available tablets, and the outcomes were statistically compared using the Student’s t and Fischer’s F tests pharmacopeia methods. It was discovered that, at 95% CIs, there is no discernible difference between the approaches’ mean values and SDs.


Conclusion: The method that has been devised is easy to use, rapid, accurate, repeatable, and safe for routinely determining the simultaneous presence of clavulanic acid and cefdinir in tablets.
