ABSTRACT
A rapid, accurate and precise HPTLC method has been developed for the estimation of Acebrophylline in Pharmaceutical formulation. In this method standard and
sample solutions of Acebrophylline were applied on pre-coated 6 x 10 silica gel 60F254 TLC plate, and developed using chloroform: isopropanol: toluene (8: 1: 1
v/v), as mobile phase. A Camag HPTLC system comprising of Camag Linomat -5-applicator, Camag twin trough chamber, Camag TLC-3 scanner was used for the
analysis. The drugs on the plate were scanned at 254 nm. The dynamic linearity range was 1µl, 2µl, 3µl, 4µl & 5µl (1000-5000ng/spot) for Acebrophylline. The
method was validated for precision, accuracy and recovery.

drug solution, six times. From the peak areas, the percentage RSD was deter-
mined. The complete validation parameters are shown in Table 2.
Recovery Studies
The recovery study was carried out at three levels, 80%, 100 % and 120%. To
the powdered formulation, the standard drug of Acebrophylline were added at
80%, 100% and 120% levels, dilutions were made and analyzed by the method.
The % recovery and % RSD were calculated and found to be within the limit,
as listed in Table 2.
