Online published on 17 July, 2017. Abstract A new simple liquid chromatographic method has been established for the determination of Vilazodone hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations. Vilazodone hydrochloride is a strong dopamine antagonist. Vilazodone hydrochloride was approved by the FDA for use in the United States to treat major depressive disorder in January 21, 2011. A mobile phase containing0.1M Ammonium formate: Methanol (20: 80, v/v) with flow rate 0.7 mL/min was used for the present chromatographic study(UV detection 241 nm). Linearity was followed over the concentration range 0.1–120 μg/mL. Forced degradation studies were performed by exposing the drug Vilazodone hydrochloride to alkaline, acidic, and oxidation stress degradations. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines (ICH Guidelines 2005). Top Keywords Vilazodone hydrochloride, RP-HPLC, stability-indicating, validation. Top |
