    Abstract:
    A sensitive, selective, precise, and stability-indicating high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method for the analysis of stavudine both as a bulk drug and in formulations is developed and validated. The solvent system consisted of toluene-methanol-chloroform-acetone (7.0:3.0:1.0:1.0, v/v/v/v). Densitometric analysis of stavudine is carried out in the absorbance mode at 270 nm. This system is found to give compact spots for stavudine (retention factor value of 0.45 +/- 0.05) following development of chromatoplates with the mobile phase. Stavudine is subjected to acid and alkali hydrolysis, oxidation, dry-heat and wet-heat treatment, and photo and UV degradation. The drug undergoes degradation under acidic and basic conditions, oxidation, and wet-heat degradation. Linearity is found to be in the range of 30-1000 ng/spot with a significantly high value of correlation coefficient. The linear regression analysis data for the calibration plots show a good linear relationship with r2 = 0.9997 +/- 0.05 in the working concentration range of 300 to 1000 ng/spot. The mean value of slope and intercept are 0.10 +/- 0.06 and 22.12 +/- 1.08, respectively. The method is validated for precision, robustness, and recovery. The limits of detection and quantitation are 10 and 30 ng/spot, respectively. The proposed HPTLC method is utilized to investigate the kinetics of the acid degradation process. Arrhenius plot is constructed and activation energy is calculated.
