Abstract:
A dissolution test for fesoterodine low dose extended-release tablets using liquid chromato-graphic (LC) method equipped with a C18 monolithic column was developed and validated. LC system was operated isocratically at controlled temperature (40 1C) using a mobile phase of acetonitrile:methanol:0.03 M ammonium acetate (pH 3.8) (30:15:55, v/v/v), run at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min and detected at 208 nm. The best dissolution conditions for this formulation were achieved using a USP apparatus 2 (paddle) at 100 rpm and 900 mL of phosphate buffer at pH 6.8 as the dissolution medium. Validation parameters such as the specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness were evaluated according to international guidelines, giving results within the acceptable range. The kinetic parameters of drug release were also investigated using model-dependent methods and the dissolution profiles were best described by the Higuchi model. The validated dissolution test can be applied for quality control of this formulation.
