Abstract

A simple, accurate and precise RPHPLC method was developed for determination of Prulifloxacin in tablet dosage form. The chromatography was performed on a C18 column. Eluents were monitored by UV detection at 279 nm using the mobile phase Acetonitrile: Phosphate buffer pH 7(80:20). The method was statistically validated for linearity, accuracy, precision. The linearity of prulifloxacin was within the concentration range of 16-24 μg/mL. The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.189 μg/ mL and 0.5751 μg/ mL respectively. Microbial agar assay was chosen as a comparison method for the prulifloxacin determination. Assay of prulifloxacin determined in both methods were compared statistically using student’s t test which confirmed that the two methods are statistically similar and there is no significant difference.
