Purpose: For the analysis of erythromycin (ER) in topical pharmaceutical forms we developed a high performance liquid chromatography dosage method (HPLC) greatly improved over the method formalized by the European Pharmacopoeia 5th ed.
Materials And Methods: The work conditions for using a chromatography column with C18 stationary phase were established as follows: optimal column temperature, 45 degrees C; the mobile phase consisted of a mixture of 0.001 M disodium phosphate solution : acetonitrile in the ratio 20:80, volume of sample injected 20 μL, injection rate 1 mL/min and spectrum was recorded at λ = 200 nm.
