OBJECTIVE: To improve HPLC for the contents determination of 2-methyl-5-methoxy-indole-3-acetic acid (impurity Ⅰ) and 4-chlorobenzoic (impurity Ⅱ) in Indometacin enteric-coated tablet. METHODS: The column was Phenomenex Phenyl-Hexyl with mobile phase of 10 g/L acetic acid solution - acetonitrile (gradient elution) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, the detection wavelength was 254 nm, column temperature was 40℃, injection volume was 20 μl. RESULTS: The linear range was 0.262 2-5.243 0 μg/ml for impurity Ⅰ (r=0.999 8) and 0.252 5-5.050 0 μg/ml for impurity Ⅱ (r=0.999 8); the limits of quantitation were 1.12 ng and 0.48 ng, limits of detection were 0.340 ng and 0.146 ng, respectively; RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%; recoveries were 99.71%-100.52% (RSD=0.28%,n=9) and 100.84%-102.14%(RSD=0.47%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS: The method is accurate and rapid, and can be used for the contents determination of impurity Ⅰ and impurity Ⅱ in Indometacin enteric-coated tablet.
