Objective To establish a dual-wavelength HPLC method with pre-column derivatization for the determination of azelastine hydrochloride and disodium edetate in azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray.
Methods The chromatographic column was Waters XTerra RP18 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile-acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.5) containing 10 mmol/L tetrabutylammonium bromide, and gradient elution was employed. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃. The detection wavelengths were set at 289 nm for azelastine hydrochloride and 254 nm for disodium edetate. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and injection volume was 20 µL.
Results Good linear relationships between the concentration and peak area were obtained for azelastine hydrochloride and disodium edetate over the ranges of 10.11-202.19μg/mL and 5.47-109.53 μg/mL, respectively (r ≥ 0.999 9). The average recoveries were 99.3% and 99.7%, respectively, with all RSD values less than 0.8% (n=9). The limits of quantitation were 0.40 μg/mL and 0.22 μg/mL for the two analytes, respectively. The RSD values of precision, stability and repeatability tests were all lower than 2.0% (n=6).
Conclusion This method is simple to operate and shows good repeatability and accuracy; it can be used for the simultaneous determination of azelastine hydrochloride and disodium edetate in azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray.
