摘要

An isocratic simple rapid assay has been developed and validated for the determination of carbamazepine (CBZ) in both solution form and rabbit plasma using propylparaben as an internal standard. The assay was performed using a mu-Bondapak C(18) (150 mm x 4.6 mm i.d) with a mobile phase consisting of methanol and water (50: 50), the flow rate was 1 ml/min and UV detection at 285 nm. The method was found to be specific for CBZ, no interfering peaks were observed with an overall analytical run time of 15 min. Accuracy reported as % recovery were found to be 98.37-100.45% and 97.53-103.58% for inter-day and intra-day accuracies, respectively. Inter-day precision (reproducibility) was found to be 0.53-2.75% RSD, while intra-day precision (repeatability) was found to be 1.06-3.7% RSD for the samples studied. The calibration curve was found to be linear with the equation y = 0.2847x + 0.0138, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9999 (R(2)) over a concentration range of 0.5-40 mu g/ml. The limit of quantitation was the lowest concentration. The method is simple and rapid and does not require any preliminary treatment of the sample. The method was fully validated.
