Abstract:
In the present study, we developed a reliable and robust chromatographic method for the quantification of multivitamins in tablet samples by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with photodiode array detection. The vitamins nicotinamide, pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamin were analyzed and quantified in a total analysis time of 2.5 minutes, using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography stationary phase. Tocopherol acetate and cyanocobalamin were analyzed and quantified in a total analysis time of 2.5 minutes, using reversed-phase (RP)-UPLC. The analysis time reported here is lower than that of similar methods reported in the literature for single vitamin determination. The method linearity exhibits a good correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.998) with the relative residual standard deviation in the acceptable limit of 2.0%. The developed methods were validated, and the results demonstrated that the proposed analytical method showed to be selective, sensitive, accurate, and robust for the quantification of evaluated vitamins in multivitamin tablets. The work was fully developed in the quality control laboratory of a pharmaceutical industry in the Agroindustrial District of Anápolis (DAIA, Goiás, Brazil), where the product is manufactured.
