High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Ritodrine
Ritodrine (also Yutopar), is a drug used in relaxation of smooth muscle and to stop premature labor. It has been pulled from the US market due to its side effects. Ritodrine can be retained on a Primesep 100 column with great peak shape using isocratic method of 30/70 Acetonitrile (ACN) and water with 0.3% sulfuric acid as buffer. UV Detection 276 nm.
