Indacaterol is a new inhaled ultra-long acting b2-agonist. It has been recently approved in the European Union for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This paper reports, for the first time, a method for the determination and validation of Indacaterol (IND) using an internal standard in capsules. Capillary electrophoretic separation was performed on an uncoated fused-silica capillary (50 cm effective length, 75 mmi.d.) and background electrolyte composed of 20 mmol L -1 of sodium tetraborate buffer, 15% (v/v) methanol (pH = 10.0) with the application of 20 kV of potential; 10 s at 5 * 10 3 N m -2 (50 mbar) of injection time; and wavelength of 200 nm and 25 ℃ of temperature. The linearity was evaluated in the range of 4.90 * 10 -6 mol L -1 (2.50 mg mL - 1) and 3.94 * 10 -5 mol L -1 (20.00 mgmL -1), with R = 0.9993 for inter-day. LOD and LOQ values were 2.18 * 10 -8 mol L -1 (0.011 mg mL -1) and 7.25 * 10 -8 mol L -1 (0.037 mg mL -1) for inter-day, respectively. The precision values were 0.50e1.06% for intra-day and 2.12% for inter-day as RSD%. The accuracy was tested by the standard addition method with the recovery values being between 98.79 and 99.09 as percentages with RSD% interval of 0.01e0.80. The developed method was validated according to ICH guidelines. Indacaterol was successfully determined in Arcapta® capsule dosage form by the validated CE method with a relative error of 0.28%. The result was within the requirements of the USP 34-NF29. Therefore, the validated method may be used for the determination of Indacaterol in its capsules in quality control laboratories. |
