6 g of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate in 1000 mL of HPLC grade water. Vildagliptin was eluted in Agilent XDB C18, 150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μ, selleck column using a mobile phase mixture of phosphate buffer and acetonitrile in the ratio of 85:15% v/v. The lambda max of the drug in mobile phase was 210 nm, so column outlet was monitored at 210 nm. The injection volume is 25 μL. The total runtime was 8 min. Hundred milligrams of pure vildagliptin was weighed accurately and transferred in to a 100 mL volumetric flask. The content was dissolved by using HPLC grade water, after complete dissolution the volume was made up to the mark by using the same which gives 1000 μg/mL of the drug. The standard vildagliptin solution was further

diluted in 10 mL volumetric flask to get various concentrations ranging from 10 to 150 μg/mL of drug using mobile phase. From this each calibration standard solutions 25 μL was injected in to the HPLC system. The chromatograms were recorded. The concentration of the vildagliptin in μg/mL is taken in X axis and peak area of the individual concentrations of calibration standards was taken in Y axis. The calibration graph was plotted. this website This is

used for the estimation of vildagliptin in tablets. Twenty tablets of vildagliptin were weighed accurately; average weight was calculated and powdered well. The powder equivalent to 100 mg of the drug was transferred in to a 100 mL calibrated standard flask. 70 mL of HPLC grade water was added. The content of the flask was sonicated for 15 min to dissolve vildagliptin and made up to the volume with the same and the resulting mixture was filtered through 0.45 μm filter. Subsequent dilution of this solution was made with mobile phase to get concentration of 50 μg/mL. This solution (25 μL) was injected six times into the HPLC system. The mean value of peak areas of six such determinations was calculated

and the drug content in the tablet was quantified. Vildagliptin pure drug is soluble in water and acetonitrile. Different mobile phase compositions were tried to elute the drug from the column and adequate resolution from is achieved with phosphate buffer and acetonitrile in the ratio of 85:15% v/v with Agilent Eclipse XDB C18, 150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μ, column and this solvent system was found to be most suitable for method development and validation. Vildagliptin shows the maximum absorbance [λ-max] at 210 nm in mobile phase, so the column outlet was detected at 210 nm in the proposed method. A typical chromatogram of vildagliptin standard solution and tablets sample solution are shown in Fig. 1a and b respectively. Chromatogram of the excipients is shown in Fig. 2. The retention time was 3.04 min. The system suitability tests were carried out on freshly prepared standard stock solution and summery is given in Table 1. These parameters indicate good sensitivity and selectivity of the developed method.
