Abstract

A simple, sensitive, rapid, robust and reproducible method for the bioanalytical determination of clopidogrel and pantoprazole in rat plasma was developed using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method. The analysis was performed on C 8 (250?4.6 mm, 5 μm) column with a mobile phase consisting of 0.03 M potassium dihydrogen ortho phosphate buffer (pH 3), acetonitrile in the ratio of 40:60 (v/v) with a flow rate of 1.2 ml/min. The analyte was monitored with UV detector at 240 nm. In the developed method pantaprazole elutes at retention time of 2.6 min and clopidogrel at 8.2 min. The proposed method is having linearity in the concentration range 10-50 μg/ml for both clopidogrel and pantoprazole. The method was validated with respect to system suitability, linearity, precision, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ), accuracy (recovery), ruggedness, robustness, stability, forced degradation studies (specificity). The proposed method can be readily utilized for determination of clopidogrel and pantoprazole in routine plasma samples. KeyWords: Bio analytical method, Drug Interaction study, Pentoprazole and clopidogrel.
