A simple, specific, precise, and accurate stability-indicating assay method using high performance thinlayer chromatography (HPTLC) is described for estimation of daclatasvir dihydrochloride (DCV) in bulk drug and in the tablet dosage form. The separations were achieved on prepared TLC plates precoated with silica gel 60 F254. The mobile phase developed and optimized for bringing out the separation involves toluene: methanol in the ratio of (6:4 V/V). The densitometric scanning wavelength selected was 312.0 nm. The compact bands of DCV were obtained at RF value of 0.702±0.032. The method developed was able to separate peaks of all the degradation products formed in ICH prescribed stress conditions with sufficient difference in their RF values. The developed method was validated for linearity and range, specificity, precision, accuracy, and robustness, and the results were found to be within acceptance criteria. The reliability of the method was evaluated when it was applied for the estimation of DCV in pharmaceutical tablet formulation and assay results gave good recovery. |
