    Abstract:
    Two methods are described for the simultaneous determination of tizanidine and rofecoxib in binary mixture. The first method was based on HPTLC separation of the two drugs followed by densitometric measurements of their spots at 311 nm. The separation was carried out on Merck HPTLC aluminium sheets of silica gel 60 F254 using toluene:methanol:acetone (7.5:2.5:1.0, v/v/v) as mobile phase. The linear regression analysis data was used for the regression line in the range of 10-100 and 100-1500 ng/spot for tizanidine and rofecoxib, respectively. The second method was based on HPLC separation of the two drugs on the reversed phase kromasil column [C18 (5 microm, 25 cm x 4.6 mm, i.d.)] at ambient temperature using a mobile phase consisting of phosphate buffer pH 5.5 and methanol (45:55, v/v). Flow rate was 1.0 ml/min with an average operating pressure of 180 kg/cm2. Quantitation was achieved with UV detection at 235 nm based on peak area with linear calibration curves at concentration ranges 10-200 and 100-2000 microg/ml for tizanidine and rofecoxib, respectively. Both methods have been successively applied to pharmaceutical formulation. No chromatographic interference from the tablet excipients was found. Both methods were validated in terms of precision, robustness, recovery and limits of detection and quantitation. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student's t-test were applied to correlate the results of tizanidine and rofecoxib determination in dosage form by means of HPTLC and HPLC method.
