ASSESSMENT OF THE HYDROLYTIC DEGRADATION OF LOVASTATIN BY HPLC

In this work an HPLC stability-indicating method was developed and applied to study the hydrolytic behaviour of lovastatin in different simulated fluids. The selected chromatographic conditions were a C-18 column, acetonitrile/methanol/phosphate buffer solution pH 4 (32/33/35) as mobile phase, 45ºC...
