    Abstract:
    A quantitative high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of chlorpropamide, tolbutamide, and their respective hydrolysis products, p-chlorobenzenesulfonamide and p-toluenesulfonamide, in solid dosage forms was developed. The method is stability indicating and can be used to determine the sulfonamide hydrolysis product and the intact drug in the presence of minor degradates. Method reproducibility, demonstrated by repeated injections of a calibration standard, was 1.21%. The lower limit of quantitation of the hydrolysis products, p-chlorobenzenesulfonamide and p-toluenesulfonamide, was 0.2 microgram/5-microliter injection. The accuracy of the method for intact drugs was determined by comparison of the HPLC results to those obtained by the appropriate USP or BP assays. The mean of the results obtained by the two methods differed by 0.7% for chlorpropamide and 0.3% for tolbutamide. Pure drug samples were spiked with amounts of the hydrolysis products ranging from 20 to 120% of the intact content. The mean percent recovery for p-chlorobenzenesulfonamide was 98.6%; for p-toluenesulfonamide, it was 100.6%. A qualitative TLC procedure for the detection of chlorpropamide, p-chlorobenzenesulfonamide, dipropylurea, propylurea, n-propylamine, tolbutamide, p-toluenesulfonamide, dibutylurea, butylurea, and n-butylamine is also described.
