Abstract
This study describes the development and validation of a new environmentally friendly analytical method for the determination of bilastine in coated tablets and the evaluation of its capacity to be stability-indicating as well. The ecofriendly analytical method was validated by specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines (ICH) and Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Isocratic LC separation was achieved on a RP18 column using a mobile phase of sodium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous buffer solution adjusted to pH (6.0 ± 0.1) with o-phosphoric acid (85% v/v) and triethylamine (0,3% v/v) and ethanol (EtOH) in the following proportions (60:40 v/v), at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1 at temperature-controlled at 30 °C. The analytical method showed selectivity, good recovery and precision (intra- and inter-day), robustness, and linear over a range from 5.0 to 50 μg·mL-1
