A stability-indicating HPLC assay method was developed for the quantitative determination of tadalafil in bulk samples and in pharmaceutical dosage forms in the presence of the degradation products. It involved a 250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 μm C-18 column. The gradient LC method employs solution A and B as mobile phase. Solution A contains a mixture of buffer (phosphate buffer and tetra-n-butyl ammonium hydrogen sulfate) pH 2.5: acetonitrile (80:20, v/v) and solution B contains a mixture of water: acetonitrile (20:80, v/v). The flow rate was 1.0 mL min-¹ and the detection wavelength was 220 nm. The retention time of tadalafil is about 17 min. Tadalafil was subjected to different ICH prescribed stress conditions. Degradation was found to occur in hydrolytic and to some extent in oxidative stress conditions, while the drug was stable to photolytic and thermal stress. The drug was particularly labile under alkaline hydrolytic conditions. The drug was subjected to stress conditions of hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis and thermal degradation. The assay of stress samples was calculated against a qualified reference standard and the mass balance was close to 99.5%. The developed RP-LC method was validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision and ruggedness.
