ABSTRACT
A simple, precise, accurate and rapid reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method had been
developed for simultaneous estimation of ketorolac and phenylephrine in bulk .Symmetry C18 kromasil column
having i.d of 150×4.6 mm and 5µm particle size (Make: Waters) was used. The method was carried out in isocratic
program using mobile phase, potassium dihydrogen ortho phosphate buffer: Acetonitrile (40:60). Flow rate was
adjusted to 0.9ml/min and effluents were monitored at 228nm. The retention time obtained for ketorolac and
phenylephrine was 3.623& 2.272min respectively. The calibration curves were linear in the concentration range of
25-150µg/ml and with correlation coefficients (r2) 0.999 and 0.999 for ketorolac and phenylephrine respectively.
The mean recoveries were found to be in the ranges of 100.41% -101.81%and 99.25%-100.88% for ketorolac and
phenylephrine respectively. The proposed method has been validated as per ICH guidelines and successfully applied
to the estimation of ketorolac and phenylephrine in their combined form.
Keywords: Phenylephrine, ketorolac simultaneous estimation, RP-HPLC.
1. INTRODUCTION
Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug,
when administered systemically, has demonstrated
analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic activity.
Chemically
it
is
(±)-5-benzoyl-2,
3-dihydro1Hpyrrolizine- 1-carboxylic acid, 2-amino-2- (hydroxyl
methyl)-1,3-propanediol. Ketorolac acts by inhibiting
the bodily synthesis of prostaglandins. An ophthalmic
solution of ketorolac is available and is used to treat
eye pain and to relieve the itchiness and burning of
seasonal allergies.
Phenylephrine
hydrochloride
(PHE)
is
α1adrenoceptor agonist which stimulates postsynaptic
Alpha receptor causes vasoconstriction, systolic and
diastolic pressure. It is indicated for nasal Congestion,
minor
eye
irritations
and
open
angle
glaucoma.Phenylephrine hydrochloride (PHE), a
synthetic sympathomimetic agent, is used in the
treatment of sinusitis and bronchitis. Chemically it is
benzenemethanol,
3-hydroxy-α
[(methylamino)
methyl]-hydrochloride (R). Various analytical methods
http://ijcns.aizeonpublishers.net/content/2015/3/ijcns258-263.pdf
have been reported for the assay of PHE alone or in
combination with other sympathomimetic agents in
pharmaceutical formulations. They include UV
spectroscopy
high
performance
liquid
chromatography.[1-5] Several methods have been
studied for simultaneous determination of ketorolac
and phenylephrine, but there are limited reports on
method for combination. So the aim of our study is to
develop simple, fast, accurate and specific reversed
phase high performance liquid chromatographic
method for simultaneous determination of ketorolac
and phenylephrine in bulk drugs and Pharmaceutical
Dosage form.

2.8.3 Accuracy:
Accuracy of the method was done by recovery study.
Sample solutions were prepared by spiking at about
50%, 100%, and 150% of specification limit to placebo
and analyzed by the proposed HPLC method. Results
are shown in Table-3(a) and (b).
2.8.4 Specificity:
The specificity of the method was performed by
injecting blank solution( without any sample) and then
a drug solution of 10µl injected into the column, under
optimized chromatographic conditions, to demonstrate
the separation of both ketorolac and phenylephrine
from any of the impurities, if present. As there was no
interference of impurities and also no change in the
retention time, the method was found to be Specific.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The nature of sample, its molecular weight and
solubility decides the proper selection of stationary
phase. The drugs ketorolac and phenylephrine were
preferably analyzed by reverse phase chromatography
and accordingly C18 column was selected. The elution of
the compounds from column was influenced by polar
mobile phase. The ratio of Potassium di-hydrogen
Orthophosphate to Acetonitrile was optimized to
(40:60) to give well resolved and good symmetrical
peaks with short run time. The retention time of
ketorolac and phenylephrine were found to be 3.623 &
2.272 min respectively. The calibration curve was
linear over the concentration range of 3-18µg/ml
(ketorolac) and 10-60µg/ml (phenylephrine).
The linearity of the method was statistically confirmed.
RSD values for accuracy and precision studies obtained
http://ijcns.aizeonpublishers.net/content/2015/3/ijcns258-263.pdf
were less than 2% which revealed that developed
method was accurate and precise. The system
suitability parameters were given in table-5. The
analytical recovery at five different concentrations of
ketorolac and phenylephrine was determined and the
recovery results were in the range of 100.41% 101.81% and 99.25%-100.88% µg/ml. Therefore
proposed validated method was successfully applied to
determine ketorolac and phenylephrine in tablet
dosage form.
4. CONCLUSION
The developed method is accurate, simple, rapid and
selective for the simultaneous estimation of ketorolac
and phenylephrine in pharmaceutical dosage form. The
excipients of the commercial sample analyzed did not
interfere in the analysis, which proved the specificity of
the method for these drugs. The sample preparation is
262
G. Swetha et al. / Int J Chem Natur Sci. 2015, 3(3): 258-263
simple, the analysis time is short and the elution is by
isocratic method. Hence the proposed method can be
conveniently adopted for the routine quality control
analysis in the combined formulation.
