Abstract

The aim of the study was to develop and validate a rapid, sensitive and accurate method for simultaneous estimation of proguanil and atovaquone in Pharmaceutical dosage forms by liquid chromatography.The chromatographic separation was achieved on Kromasil C18 (4.6 x 150 mm; 5 µm) at ambient temperature.The separation was achievedby employing a mobile phase consists of Phosphate buffer: acetonitrile (40:60 v/v). The flow rate was 1.0ml/ minute and ultra violet detector at 280 nm. The retention time for proguanil and atovaquone found to be 2.15 min and 2.48 min respectively. The proposed method was validated for selectivity, precision, linearity and accuracy. All the results obtained from various validation parameters were within the acceptable range. The method was found to be linear from concentrations of 20-120 µg/ml for proguanil and 50 - 300µg/ml for atovaquone.
