| Summary: | Voglibose is a potent α glucosidase inhibitor, used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. For quantitative determination of voglibose in pharmaceutical formulations of low doses, simple, sensitive, accurate and precise LC-MS/MS method using electrospray ionization in positive mode was developed and validated. The method was found linear in the concentration range of 25.0-1200 ηg/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9998. The limit of detection (LOD) of the method was found to be 1.5 ηg/mL and limit of quantitation (LOQ) was achieved at 3.0 ηg/mL. The recoveries of voglibose from spiked samples at different concentration levels were found in the range of 98-102%. The proposed method was found suitable for quantitation of voglibose and for the determination of uniformity of content of the dosage units of the tablet formulations. |
