Fast and Simultaneous Analysis of Combined Anti-Diabetic Drugs by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis.

A fast capillary zone electrophoretic method with photodiode array detection (CZE-PAD) was established and validated for assays of commonly prescribed anti-diabetic drugs [metformin (MET), glibenclamide (GBM) and gliclazide (GCZ)] in 13 samples including raw material, single and combined tablets. CZE optimization revealed baseline separation of the analytes (Rs > 5.39) in 8 min, in 50 mM borate buffer (pH 9.
