Objective: The objective of the current study was to develop and validate a novel RP-HPLC method for determination of bamifylline hydrochloride in pharmaceutical dosage form.Methods: Chromatographic separation was conducted on Agilent technologies-1260 series with the G1311C quaternary pump, eclipse XDB C18 column (4.6 mm i.d. X 250 mm, 5 µm particle sizes) and equipped with photodiode array detector G1315D. Mobile phase consisted of methanol and acetonitrile were mixed in the ratio of 90:10 v/v, was used at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and detection wavelength was set at 263 nm.Results: The retention time for bamifylline hydrochloride was found to be 2.913 min. The calibration was linear (r2= 0.9996) in the concentration range of 2-10 µg/ml. The limit of detection and the limit of quantitation were found to be 0.4825 μg/ml and 1.4621 µg/ml respectively. Recovery of bamifylline hydrochloride in tablet formulation was observed in the range of 99.6-99.8 %. Percentage assay of bamifylline hydrochloride (Bamifix) was found to be 99.4 % w/w.Conclusion: Thus the novel proposed method for bamifylline hydrochloride was found to be feasible for the estimation of bamifylline hydrochloride in bulk as well as a pharmaceutical dosage form.Â
