摘要
This paper describes the development and validation of a HPLC-UV method (210 nm) for the simultaneous quantitation of artemether and lumefantrine in fixed dose combination tablets. The method showed to be linear (r(2) > 0.99), precise (R.S.D. < 2.0%), accurate (recovery of 101.07% for artemether and 101.58% for lumefantrine), specific and robust. Four batches of artemether-lumefantrine tablets were assayed by the validated method. The artemether contents in the tablets varied from 98.61% to 103.35%, while lumefantrine contents were 97.92-100.48%. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
