Abstract

A novel gas liquid chromatographic (GC) method has been developed for the quantitative estimation of Sitagliptin in bulk drug and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Ethyl chloroformate (ECF) was used as a precolumn derivatizing reagent. GC separation was carried out on an Rtx-5 capillary column (cross bond 5% diphenyl/ 95% dimethyl polysiloxane) with a length of 30 meters and an internal diameter of 0.25 mm with flame ionization detector. The elution was carried out at an initial temperature of 80? C for 4 minutes and temperature increased at the rate of 100?C/min up to 180?C for 5 min. Column pressure was programmed as 29.8 Kpa for 3.5 minutes and pressure increased at rate of 20Kpa/min up to 120Kpa for 6 minutes. The linear calibration ranges for LEV was observed between 2- 10 ng/ml. The method was subsequently applied to the determination of LEV in pharmaceutical preparations. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was found to be 0.27%. The recovery studies were done and the percentage recovery of LEV was found to be 98.36%
