Abstract:

Plan:ReversePhase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method for Ampicillin andProbenecid described

Prologue: Ampicillin trihydrate is anantibiotic active against mainly gram positive bacteria and some gram negativebacteria. Probenecid is a uricosuric agent used in gout therapy. Thepresent study aims at the development of Reverse phase High Performance LiquidChromatography method for simultaneous estimation of Ampicillin and Probenecidin combined dosage formulations.

Methodology: The HPLC system used consists ofWaters 501 pump and a Waters 486 tunable wave length UV-visible detector. Thedata station was computer controlled using base line 810 software whichincludes an integrator and a recorder. The mobile phase used was sodium acetatesolution (50mm): acetonitrile (75:25). The UV response was measured at 235nm.The column used was Reverse phase(5 micron) 25cm x4.6mm.

Outcome: The method provided adequate accuracy and precision  .The developed RP-HPLC method can be used forthe routine analysis of Ampicillin and Probenecid in combination.
