| Abstract | |
Ketoconazole is an imidazole antifungal agent used in the treatment of great variety of skin infectious diseases. The aim of this research was the standardization and the validation of two analytical methods, first derivative ultraviolet ( UV ) spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography( HPLC ) to determine ketoconazole in commercial and simulated cream dosage forms preparations. The validated methods were used to study the stability of the simulated cream after storage under high temperatures and high percentage of humidity. First derivative UV spectrophotometry was standardized at 257 nm, in a range of concentration from 5.0 to 30.0 µg/mL in methanol. The coefficient of correlation was 0.9997 and the recovery average was 100.24%. The average relative standard deviation ( RSD ) was 0.56% for simulated preparation and 0.41 % for commercial preparation. The determination of ketoconazole by HPLC was performed using a LiChrospher® 100 RP-18(5µm ) column, a mobile phase consisting of triethylamine in methanol (1:500) and ammonium acetate solution in water(1:200 ) 75:25 ( v/v ), a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and UV detection at 225nm. Terconazole was used as internal standard. The coefficient of correlation was 0.9981, the recovery average was 100.88%, the average relative standard deviation ( RSD ) was 2.13% for the simulated preparations and 1.25% for the commercial preparations. The rheological measurements showed that the simulated preparation presented pseudoplastic and thixotropic behavior. (AU) | |
