Abstract: Zileuton is an antiasthmatic durg. It acts by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase enzyme thereby preventing formation of leukotrienes that cause bronchoconstriction. The new, simple, accurate, sensitive robust, reproducible, isocratic RP-HPLC method was developed using Xterra C 18 column (5µm, 250 × 4.6mm), at 1ml/min flow rate with 10min run time using 20µl injection volume and 25__degreesignC temperature conditions. The detection wavelength used is 299.5nm. Retention time is obtained at 3.155min. Linearity was established in the range of 2 to 10µg/ml with 0.999 correlation coefficient and % recovery of 99.6 – 99.9%. The method is validated according to the specifications in ICH guidelines.
Keywords: Zileuton, RP-HPLC, isocratic mode.
