| Abstract: | Abstract Pancuronium bromide is used with general anesthesia in surgery for muscle relaxation and as an aid to intubation. A high performance liquid chromatographic method was fully validated for the quantitative determination of pancuronium bromide in pharmaceutical injectable solutions. The analytical method was performed on an amino column (Luna® 150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm). The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile:water containing 50 mmol L?1 of 1-octane sulfonic acid sodium salt (20:80 v/v) with a flow rate of 1.0 mL min?1 and ultraviolet (UV) detection at 210 nm. The proposed analytical method was compared with that described in the British Pharmacopoeia. |
