Background and Aims: Saxagliptin is an antidiabetic drug used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. During the manufacture of bulk and dosage forms, assay of the drugs is important in determining the percentage purity. Hence, this study aimed to develop and validate a simple, rapid, and selective method based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-Tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis for the determination of saxagliptin in bulk and tablet dosage forms.
Methods: Chromatographic separation was performed using a Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 X 50 mm, 1.7 μm) with a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of acetonitrile: 0.1% formic acid (60:40, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.120 mL/min. Separation was performed in 3 min run time. The analyte was ionised and detected by tandem mass spectrometry, which is performed in positive ion and multiple reaction monitoring modes.
Results: Linearity was established in the 10–150 ng/mL with r2=0.9980. The results were observed to be well within the limits when validation was performed as per the ICH guidelines.
Conclusion: The proposed method can be applied successfully for the analysis of saxagliptin in bulk and tablet formulations.
