dc.description.abstractThe combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin (Cis) has been used for the treatment of many cancers. The combination demonstrates synergy and improved clinical outcomes encouraging developing a formulation with both drugs. An analytical procedure is essential for formulation studies; however, no method has been reported for the concurrent determination and quantification of both 5-FU and Cis to date. A novel, simple, accurate, and precise HPLC method was developed using a C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) and mobile phase composed of 0.5 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate: methanol (98:2, v/v), adjusted to pH 2.5 with phosphoric acid. A flow rate of 0.5 mL/min was applied and a photodiode array was utilized for detection and the retention times were 9.89 min (265 nm) for 5-FU and 5.36 min (210 nm) for Cis. Validation procedures were performed, and the method was found to be linear at ranges of 0.9–60.0 µg/mL for 5-FU and 6.0–60.0 µg/mL for Cis. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) were 0.10 and 0.25 µg/mL for 5-FU and 2.00 and 4.00 µg/mL for Cis, respectively. Other parameters such as precision, selectivity, robustness, and stability results were within acceptable limits. The method was applied to a model co-eluting film and its release profile was studied. Additionally, the method's greenness was evaluated by four assessment tools namely the national environmental method index (NEMI), analytical eco scale assessment (ESA), green analytical procedure index (GAPI), and Analytical GREEnness Metric Approach and Software (AGREE). The results demonstrated compliance with green analytical chemistry (GAC) practices. This research acts as a step towards further investigation of drug stability under different stress conditions and quantification of the intact drugs in presence of their degradation products.
