The aim of the present work is to develop and validate an accurate, sensitive, rapid, precise, and simple bioanalytical method for estimation of Febuxostat in human plasma by using LC-ESI-MS/MS. The method was developed by gradient elution technique with the combination of the mobile phase as 0.1% Formic Acid in Milli-Q water and 0.1% Formic Acid in Acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.5ml/min. The Analyte and IS (Tolbutamide) were separated by a C18 Phenomenex Kinetex (50x3mm, 5µ) column. The chromatographic run time was 7.0 minutes. The plasma extraction was done by a simple protein precipitation technique (PPT). The LOD and LLOQ were found to be 6.25ng/ml and 125ng/ml, respectively. The extraction recovery of the drug from plasma was more than 90%. The validation parameters were found within the range, as mentioned by USFDA and EMA guidelines.

An isocratic Reversed-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography method has been developed for rapid and simultaneous separation and estimation of two antibiotics, namely, nitazoxanide and ofloxacin, in human plasma. Separation was carried out on Altima C8 (150 x 4.6 mm, 5µ) column using a mobile phase of 0.1% ortho phosphoric acid: acetonitrile (50:50, V/V) at 260 nm. The retention time of nitazoxanide and ofloxacin was noted to be 4.850 and 7.949 min, respectively. The average % recovery for nitazoxanide and ofloxacin were 98.012 % and 94.176 %, respectively and reproducibility was found to be satisfactory. The linearity was investigated in the concentration range of 0.02-2 µg/ml (r2=0.9996) for nitazoxanide and 0.008-0.8 µg/ml (r2=0.9998) for ofloxacin. The lower limits of quantification were 0.0196 µg/ml and 0.0079 µg/ml for nitazoxanide and ofloxacin, respectively, which reach the level of both drugs possibly found in human plasma. The proposed method can be applied for etermination of nitazoxanide and ofloxacin from dosage forms during pharmacokinetic study.
