Computer-assisted optimization and validation of LC analysis of trimetazidine dihydrochloride and its impurities.

Trimetazidine dihydrochloride is an anti-anginal drug, which possesses protective properties against ischemia inducing heart damage. In this paper, a new procedure for liquid chromatographic analysis was successfully developed, optimized, and applied in assessment of trimetazidine dihydrochloride content and its impurities, Y-145, Y-235, and Y-234 at most 1.0%, 0.
