D. Deorsi et al., HPLC DETERMINATION OF BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE AND ITS DEGRADATIONPRODUCTS IN BULK DRUG AND PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS, Analytical letters, 28(9), 1995, pp. 1655-1663
An HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of beclomethasone di
propionate and its principal degradation products has been developed.
The only sample treatment necessary for the analysis is its dilution w
ith methanol. The practical detection limit is 0.02 % of each impuriti
es in terms of the parent drug, whereas the absolute limit of detectio
n is 2.5 ng of each injected compound. The method has been applied to
the analysis of both pharmaceutical formulations and samples of bulk d
rug.
