G. Ragno et al., GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHIC AND UV DERIVATIVE DETERMINATION OF NITRENDIPINE AND ITS PHOTODEGRADATION PRODUCT, International journal of pharmaceutics, 99(2-3), 1993, pp. 351-355
A rapid and direct analytical UV method, based on third derivative spe
ctra, and a gas chromatographic assay, for the simultaneous determinat
ion of nitrendipine and its photodegradation product, are proposed. Bo
th procedures, showing satisfactory values of accuracy and precision,
can be employed to measure the drug and its impurity in pharmaceutical
s.
