Abstract

Trimetazidine is an effective and well-tolerated antianginal drug. In the present study, a simple, sensitive  and specific liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with UV detection was developed and validated for the  quantification of trimetazidine in human serum samples using caffeine as internal standard. Protein precipitation  method with methanol was employed in the extraction of trimetazidine and caffeine from biological matrix. The  chromatographic separation was accomplished on Xterra C18 Column with a mobile phase consisting 0.01 M  potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 4.16 ± 0.01 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid, with a solvent system of  triethanolamine and acetonitrile (90:10) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The chromatogram was monitored at a  wavelength of 207 nm. The method was validated over a linear concentration range of 5-200 ng/ml and limit of  quantification (LOQ) was 5.0 ng/ml with a coefficient of correlation (r2) ? 0.996. The intra-day and inter-day  precision expressed as relative standard deviation was 3.40%-11.63% and 1.30%-10.21%, respectively. The average  recovery of trimetazidine from serum was 97.44%. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study  after oral administration of modified release trimetazidine hydrochloride tablet (35 mg) in healthy Bangladeshi  volunteers.
