RP-HPLC METHOD AND METHOD VALIDATION OF PIROXICAM

A rapid and precise Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method has been developed for the validated of Piroxicam in its pure form as well as in tablet dosage form. Chromatography was carried out on X-terra C18 (4.6 x 250mm 5μm) column using a mixture of Acetonitrile and Water (40:60 v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.9ml/min the detection was carried out at 227nm. The retention time of the Piroxicam was 5.430 ±0.02min respectively. The method produce linear responses in the concentration range of 10-50mg/ml of Piroxicam.The method precision for the determination of assay was below 2.0%RSD. The method is useful in the quality control of bulk and pharmaceutical formulations.
