RP-HPLC analyzes Griseofulvin pills. Griseofulvin was separated at 25ºC at 0.7 ml/min using a Younglin (S.K) isocratic System UV Detector and C18 column (250mm×4.6 mm i.d, 5?m 260nm acetonitrile/water (pH 2.4) 80: Linearity (r2 = 0.997) was found from 20-100?. The Griseofulvin LOD and LOQ were 0.53?g/ml and 1.62?g/ml, respectively. Results confirmed procedure sensitivity. The drug delivered 99.58 percent Griseofulvin. For labeling, it estimated medication amounts. Griseofulvin recovered 97.74-101.80 at 80, 100, and 120%. Trials showed repeatability, accuracy, and RSD < 2. A low R.S.D. implies method accuracy and reproducibility. Changing mobile phase composition and flow rate to verify technique durability. In pharmaceutical formulation, tablet excipients did not impact chromatography. Assessing RP-HPLC ICH compliance.
Introduction
Drug development requires analytical method development and validation. Consider accuracy, precision, sensitivity, selectivity, robustness, ruggedness, sample size, analyte concentration,time, cost, and equipment availability when choosing an analytical method.
Development of Methods
Some analysis uses art and literature. More effective approaches match samples and gear. Method specifications, instrumentation, and purpose must be chosen during development. Detect drug solubility, column, mobile phase, detectors, quantization. Development considers all method parameters. Many reasons exist to develop a new analysis method. Non-methodable matrix analytes exist. Some methods fail. Costly, time-consuming, energy-intensive, or unautomatable procedures exist. Some methods miss samples. Tech boosts ROI, analyte detection, limits, accuracy, and precision. Analytical methods may need legal or scientific alternatives. Select “analyteparameters” and tools. To maximize method, analyze analytes. Develop methods using only well-identified, documented, and pure analytical standards. Safety measures lower risks. Finally, instrumental, classical, and wet-chemical analyses are measured.Chemical gravimetric and volumetric analyses measure mass or solution. HPLC, NMR, and spectrophotometers measure electricity and radiation.

4.Preparation of Sample Solutions:
Standard stock solution:
Griseofulvin, 10mg precisely weighed, was sonicated for 10 minutes in a 10ml volumetric flask with 10ml Mobile phase. A 1000 µg/ml standard stock solution is produced.
1) Mix 0.2 ml stock I with 10 ml mobile phase (20 µg/ml GRISEOFULVIN).
2) Mix 0.4 ml stock I with 10 ml mobile phase (40 µg/ml GRISEOFULVIN).
Step 3: Mix 0.6 ml stock I with 10 ml mobile phase (60 µg/ml GRISEOFULVIN).
4) Mix 0.8 ml stock I with 10 ml mobile phase (80µg/ml GRISEOFULVIN).
Step 5: Mix 1 ml stock I with 10 ml mobile phase (100 µg/ml GRISEOFULVIN).
5. Application Proposed Method to Marketed Formulation:
6.SamplePreparation:
Weighted and ground 20 pills. A 100.0 ml volumetric flask was filled with 10 mg of correctly weighed Griseofulvin tablet powder after 15 min of sonication with enough diluent. The sample was filtered using 0.45 µm Whatmann paper. Dilute 2.0 ml stock solution to 10.0 ml. Five surgeries were performed.After stationary phase equilibration, 20µl sample solutions were injected and chromatograms were obtained. Estimate Griseofulvin content from sample peak area and standard. For label claim, multiply Au x Wstd x Avg.Wt % by 100Wtab x L.C. Example peak area Standard peak area Wstd = stock Griseofulvin weight (mg).Weight of tablet powder.
Chromatogram and statistical data are shown in Figure 1.5 and Table 1.4.

7. Check Griseofulvin.
For separation, reverse phase HPLC was easier, harder, and more likely to generate well-resolved peaks at the proper retention period and pH. Improving Griseofulvinon HPLC resolution requires adjusting λ max, mobile phase, and flow rate.
Method accuracy is how well observational data match sample analytes. Sample concentrations were 80%, 100%, and 120%. Three samples per level yielded six ICH-legal results. Table 1.5 and Figures 1.6–1.8 show RSD % and chromatogram.

IV. LOD/LQ:
LOD is the lowest detectable analyte concentration.
To calculate LOD, use the formula: 3.3 σ/S, where σ is the response standard deviation, S is the calibration curve slope, and Griseofulvin is 0.53 µg/ml
Limit of Quantity Lowest accurately measured analyte concentration.
LOQ formula: 10 σ/S, where σ = response standard deviation, S = calibration curve slope, and Griseofulvin = 1.62 µg/ml.
