Abstract
A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for analysi s of L-carnitine is described. The improved method is able to provide a hig h resolution between L-carnitine and crotonoylbetaine, a major impurity and degradation product, and suitable for quantitative analysis of L-carnitine in pharmaceutical formulations. such as solution, tablets, and capsules. T he resolution, linearity, accuracy acid reproducibility of the method are d iscussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.V. All rights reserved.
