Abstract

In the literature, greener/eco-friendly analytical techniques for simultaneous estimation of chlorzoxazone (CZN) and paracetamol (PCT) are scarce. As a consequence, greener reverse-phase high-performance thin-layer chromatography with ultraviolet (HPTLC-UV) detection was developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of CZN and PCT in commercial capsules and tablets. The greenness of the proposed HPTLC-UV technique was assessed quantitatively by utilizing the “Analytical GREENness (AGREE)” methodology. For simultaneous estimation of CZN and PCT, the greener HPTLC-UV technique was linear in the 40–1600 ng band−1 and 30–1600 ng band−1 ranges, respectively. Furthermore, the suggested HPTLC-UV methodology proved sensitive, accurate, precise, and robust for simultaneous detection of CZN and PCT. The assay of CZN in marketed capsules and tablets was found to be 99.01 ± 1.53 and 100.87 ± 1.61%, respectively, using the suggested HPTLC-UV method. The assay of PCT in commercial capsules and tablets was found to be 98.31 ± 1.38 and 101.21 ± 1.67%, respectively. The AGREE index for the greener HPTLC-UV technique was found to be 0.79, suggesting an excellent greenness profile for the proposed HPTLC-UV technique. These results and data suggested the suitability of the greener HPTLC-UV methodology for simultaneous estimation of CZN and PCT in commercial formulations.
