7. However, few RP-HPLC methods so far have been reported.
But the methods available hitherto are poorly validated,
uneconomical and consume longer runtimes.
Infact no method for the determination of all drugs in single
chromatographic wavelength and with out changing the
detection wavelength.
Keeping in view the complete evaluation of the above
reported methods, the author developed a novel RP-HPLC
method which is considered to be accurate, precise, rapid with
shorter runtime as well as economical for the separation and
estimation of the above said fluoroquinolones in tablet dosage
forms.

10. Preparation of reagents and standards
Preparation of phosphate buffer pH 3.1
o Phosphate buffer with 10 mM was prepared by dissolving 6.056 g
KH2PO4 in 445 mL of HPLC grade water. To this said solution 55 mL of
0.1M H3PO4 was added to adjust the pH 3.1.
Preparation of mobile phase
o The above stated prepared phosphate buffer (pH 3.1) 500 ml (70%)
and acetonitrile 200 ml (30%) were mixed completely in the
proportion of 70: 30 v/v.
Preparation of standard stock solution
o 1 mg/mL of LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO were prepared.
Further dilution was made based on the required concentrations.
Preparation of sample solution
o Twenty tablets of LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO were
separately transferred into a mortar and ground to a fine powder.
From this 1 mg/mL LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI and BALO were
prepared in different calibration flasks. Further dilution was made
based on the required concentration of each drug. 106/7/2016 VIGNAN PHARMACY COLLEGE
11. Results and Discussion
Method Development
o Selection of a common detection wavelength
• In the present study drug solutions of 10 mcg/mL of LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI
AND BALO were prepared and scanned over a range of 200-400 nm. UV overlain spectra of
these drugs showed that they absorbed appreciably at 293 nm, so that it was selected as the
detection wave length for further study.
The optimum wavelength for detection was 293
nm at which much better detector responses for
six drugs were obtained.

12. Method optimization
Numerous trials were performed to obtain the better separations.
From all trials, eventually better reproducibility of the results and good resolution good peak shape, short
runtime, minimal peak tailing were well identified, when 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3.1) : Acetonitrile
70:30, v/v was used and found best satisfactory results.

15. Linearity
The purpose of this study is to verify that the detector response is directly proportional to the
concentration (amount) of analyte in the sample.
Procedure: Standard drug solutions of LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR, MOXI AND BALO were
prepared to get the final concentration of 2-10 µg/mL. The solutions were injected in to the
HPLC system separately and the response of peak areas were measured at 293 nm.
calibration curve is constructed by plotting concentration on X-axis and the peak areas on y-
axis.
The least square analysis method was adopted for achieving slope, intercept and correlation

23. LOD and LOQ
Limit of Detection is the lowest concentration in a sample that can be detected, but not
necessarily quantified under the stated experimental conditions.
The limit of quantitation is the lowest concentration of analyte in a sample that can be
determined with acceptable precision and accuracy.
LOD and LOQ were calculated using following formula
LOD= 3.3(SD)/S and LOQ= 10 (SD)/S,
where SD=standard deviation of response S= slope of the calibration curve.

26. Conclusion
The author first reported RP- HPLC method for LEVO, PRFX, GATI, SPAR,
MOXI and BALO fluoroquinolones can be estimated on single chromatographic
system without minor modifications in the detection wavelength.
The mobile phase composition used in this analysis is similar for the mentioned six
drugs.
The method was linear in the concentration range of 2-10 µg/mL.
Statistical analysis lucidly showed that this method had good sensitivity,
reproducibility, very fast, precise, accurate, highly efficient and suitable than the
existing methods so far utilized.
Sample preparation procedure is easy and inexpensive.
Therefore this method is aptly feasible for regular analysis of six fluoroquinolones
individually in quality control laboratories.
