A reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method to determine Hydrocortisone (HYD), Oxytetracycline (OXY)
and Nystain (NYS) has been developed. The separation was made on a LichrCART
Ŗ C18 column using methanol-NaH
2PO
4/Na
2HPO
4 gradient elution and a diode-array detector measuring at the maximum absorption wavelength for each compound. Quantification
limits ranging from 0.19 to 0.85 μg L
−1 were obtained. The method was applied to synthetic mixtures and pharmaceutical formations. Analyses were made from the stock
solutions and by means of standard addition. Both methods showed similar results, and the claimed levels of pharmaceutical
preparations were sown to be in agreement with the results from our analytical method.
