RP-HPLC PDA Analysis of Tranexamic Acid in Bulk and Tablet Dosage Form
Abstract: A simple economic approach of RP HPLC-PDA has been used to separate and estimate the
tranexamic acid in pharmaceutical formulation. Tranexamic acid being non chromophoric, pre-column derivatization
was performed with 2, 4-dinitroflourobenzene solution in aqueous alkaline medium at 60°C. The derivatized

phase with flow rate of 1 mL/min. The tranexamic acid derivative was detected at a wavelength of 355 nm using
PDA detector. Retention time of tranexamic acid was 9.44 min. The method followed Lambert-beers law in the
concentration range of 6-16 μg/mL with correlation co-efficient equal to 0.9999. The limit of detection and limit
of quantitation were 0.002124 and 0.006434 μg/mL, respectively. The developed method is very sensitive and
can be used for determination of tranexamic acid in pharmaceutical formulations.
