Abstract
Background: Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and reverse phase highperformance
liquid chromatography, RP-HPLC analysis have been used for the quantitative determination
of local l commercially available Pitavastatin products.
Methods: The FTIR method of analysis is not widely used in pharmaceutical quality control laboratories.
This technique is non-destructive, reliable, precise, and efficient, and the samples can be prepared
easily. These features emphasized that the FTIR technique can be considered as a potential analytical
method for quantitative analysis in pharmaceutical laboratories.
Results: It is strongly recommended that FTIR analytical method can be applied simultaneously with
RP-HPLC techniques for quality control purposes of drug analysis. Both methods of analysis have
shown comparable precision and good repeatability and reproducibility for analysis of Pitavastatin
which can be generalized for other pharmaceutical products.
Conclusion: In addition, FTIR is not only used for the determination of vibrational modes and structure
in the fingerprint region, but it can be also generally applied in quantitative analysis for many
pharmaceutical products.
Keywords:
FTIR, RP-HPLC, pitavastatin, qualitative, quantitative, validation.
