Simultaneous Determination of N-Acetyl Cysteine and Taurine by HPTLC Method in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient and Pharmaceutical Dosage Form
Specific, precise and sensitive TLC-Densitometric method was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of N-Acetyl cysteine and Taurine in active pharmaceutical ingredient and pharmaceutical dosage form. An effective separation was achieved on pre-coated silica gel HPTLC plates by using n-butanol:acetic acid:water (8:0.5:1.5 v/v/v). The spots were scanned densitometrically at 295 nm. The RF values of N-Acetyl cysteine and Taurine were found to be 0.29 and 0.52, respectively. Calibration curves were linear in the range of 30 - 180 and 100 - 600 ng/band for N-Acetyl cysteine and Taurine, correspondingly with correlation coefficients of 0.999. The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines. The limits of detection were 11.24 and 63.40 ng/spot for NAC and TAU respectively. The method developed was found to be precise and specific for the simultaneous analysis of N-Acetyl cysteine and Taurine in pure and tablet dosage form.
