Validação de metodologia analítica para o doseamento simultâneo de mebendazol e tiabendazol por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência Validation of analytical methodology for simultaneous evaluation of mebendazole and thiabendazole in tablets by high performance liquid chromatography

Abstract

The aim of this work was to develop and validate an analytical methodology for simultaneous determination of mebendazole and thiabendazole, two benzimidazoles used as anthelmintics. The method was based on high performance liquid chromatography, using a C18 column, a mobile phase composed of KH2PO4 0.05 mol L-1 and methanol 40:60 (v/v) and UV detection at 312 nm. The results showed that the method presented linearity from 60.0 to 140.0 µg mL-1 for mebendazole and from 99.6 to 232.4 g µL-1 for thiabendazole and it was considered selective, accurate, precise and robust according to the specific resolution from ANVISA, the Brazilian regulatory agency.
