Methods: The optimized method uses a reverse phase C18 column, ZODIAC (250 X 4.6 mm; 5 ), mobile phase consisting of mixed phosphate buffer (KH2PO4 and K2HPO 4): acetonitrile in the proportion of 30:70 v/v. The mobile phase was set at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and the volume injected 9 nm. μ wasResult 20μls: Thefor every developed injection. method The detection resulted wavelengthin Diloxanide was furoate set at 27eluting at 4.293 min and Ornidazole at 3.34 min. Diloxanide furoate exhibited - - deviations of 0.97% for Diloxanide furoate and 0.3% for Ornidazole. Percentage Mean recoveries were found to be in the range of 98-102, during linearity in the range The 90 limit210μg/ml, of detection while (LOD) Ornidazole for Diloxanide exhibited furoate linearity and in Ornidazole the range 60were140μg/ml.
