BACKGROUND: Levamisole hydrochloride (LVM) is an anthelmintic drug substance with immunomodulatory and anticancer activities. LVM has also found usage as a cutting agent in street cocaine.
OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed to develop and validate an alternative and improved stability-indicating reversed-phase ultraperformance liquid chromatography (RP-UPLC) method for the determination of LVM and the estimation of its related compounds.
METHOD: The UPLC method for the assay was optimized in terms of organic solvents consumed, pH, column temperature, and flow rate. Determination of LVM and its related compounds was performed using a gradient elution on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C18 (50 mm × 2.1 mm i.d., 130 Å). The column temperature was maintained at 35°C. Mobile phase A was composed of aqueous 5 mM ammonium hydroxide, and mobile phase B was composed of acetonitrile. All the analytes were monitored by UV detection at 215 nm with a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. The total runtime of the method with column equilibration is 4.0 min.
RESULTS: The developed method met all the acceptance criteria of the current International Council for Harmonization [ICH Q2 (R1)] guidelines. The method was tested in terms of specificity, linearity (R2 > 0.999), limit of detection (LOD; 0.06 μg/mL), limit of quantitation (LOQ; 0.2 μg/mL), accuracy, precision, and robustness. With a short analysis time (<2.5 min) and reduced consumption of organic solvents, the proposed method is considered a greener alternative to conventional chromatographic methods.
CONCLUSIONS: An alternative and improved UPLC method was successfully developed and validated in accordance with the ICH guidelines for the determination of LVM and the estimation of its related compounds.
HIGHLIGHTS: Due to its high degree of selectivity, speed, and accuracy, the developed method can significantly benefit the end-users with laboratory efficiency and throughput during routine analysis of production batches and stability monitoring of LVM-related drug products.
