ABSTRACT

Background: The presence of related impurities in pharmaceutical formulations can significantly impact drug safety and efficacy, making their accurate determination essential. The present study focuses on the development and validation of a reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the analysis of related impurities in Dapagliflozin.

Methods: Chromatographic separation was achieved using a C18 column with an optimized mobile phase under isocratic conditions, and detection was carried out using a UV detector. The developed method was validated in accordance with International Council for Harmonisation guidelines for parameters such as specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, limit of detection, and limit of quantification.

Results: The results demonstrated that the method is precise, accurate, and capable of effectively separating the drug substances from their related impurities.

Conclusion: Therefore, the proposed RP-HPLC method is suitable for routine quality control and stability studies of these antidiabetic drugs.
