Analytical method development and validation of Secnidazole in the tablet dosage form by RP-HPLC method

Objective of the present work is to develop and validate a simple, cost effective, sensitive and fast HPLC method for the analysis of Secnidazole. A Shimadzu HPLC system with Luna 5µm C 18 column is employed for the analysis using Methanol:H 2 O (60:40, v/v) as mobile phase. Signal from Secnidazole is detected at 310nm by UV Spectrophotometer. The proposed method is fully validated and found to be linear over a workable drug concentration, accurate, precise and robust. This fast and inexpensive method is suitable for research laboratories as well as for quality control analysis in pharmaceutical industries.
