Summary: | Abstract Background For the determination of gliclazide and its three potential impurities quantitatively, the development of a stability-indicating, accurate, simple, and fast, Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) method was done. Results On Acquity CSH 18 column (50 mm×2.1 mm, 1.7 μ) separation was achieved by the isocratic elution mode using mobile phase (5 mM ammonium acetate buffer of pH 4 and 10% ammonium acetate buffer + 90% acetonitrile, 65/35 v/v). In total, 0.7 mL−1 was the chosen flow rate and UV detection was carried out at 227 nm. Conclusion By analyzing forced degradation products of the sample, the stability-indicating characteristic of the developed method was proved where the separation of the products of degradation from analyte peak was seen along with spectral purity of gliclazide. Validation of the developed UPLC method was done as per the guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonization in terms of system suitability, precision, accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, linearity, and robustness.
