Abstract:In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established for the determination of atropine sulfate Injection content and its methodological validation. The chromatographic column used was SHISEIDO CAPCELL PAK C18 (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm). The buffer solution consists of 0.013 mol·L-1 potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.014 mol·L-1 pentane sulfonic acid sodium (1.8 g potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 2.5 g pentane sulfonic acid sodium dissolved in 1 L water; pH adjusted to 2.5 with phosphoric acid). Mobile phase A was acetonitrile-buffer solution (5∶95), and mobile phase B was acetonitrile-buffer solution (80∶20) = 75∶25. The flow rate was set at 1.0 mL·min-1, with detection wavelength at 210 nm, and column temperature at 30 ℃. Under this method, excipients did not interfere with the determination. atropine sulfate exhibited good linearity in the concentration range of 0.049 9 to 0.149 6 mg·mL-1, with a method linear correlation coefficient of r = 1.000 (n=5). The recovery rate ranged from 99.6% to 100.0% (RSD=0.4%, n=9). This method is simple, sensitive reproducible, and accurate, making it suitable for the determination and quality control of atropine sulfate injection.
