Abstract
Introduction: A new, ecological, and stability-indicating method by HPLC was developed for
the quantification of moxifloxacin in tablets. A C18 column at 33°C, purified water acidified with 0.2%
phosphoric acid and ethanol (74:26,v/v), flow rate at 1.0 mLmin-1, injection volume of 5 µL, and detection at 290 nm was used.
Method: The method was linear (2-12 µgmL-1), selective, accurate (100.86%), precise (RSD<2%), and
robust.
Result: The retention time for moxifloxacin in tablets was approximately 4.4 minutes.
Conclusion: To sum up, a method based on the principles of green analytical chemistry was successfully
developed and validated for the quantification of moxifloxacin in tablets.
Keywords:
HPLC, green analytical chemistry, method validation, tablets, fluoroquinolone, moxifloxacin.
