High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Ciclopirox .
Ciclopirox is a prescription medication with the chemical formula C12H17NO2 . It is used to treat topical fungal infections on skin, nails, and scalp. It is available in a variety of forms from shampoo, to nail lacquer, to cream.
Ciclopirox can be retained and analyzed using the Newcrom A stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a perchloric acid buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
