A new simple isocratic chiral RP-LC method has been developed for the separation and quantification of the enantiomer of (R,R)-tadalafil in bulk drugs and dosage forms with an elution time of about 20 min. Chromatographic separation of (R,R)-tadalafil and its enantiomer was achieved on a bonded macro cyclic glycopeptide stationary phase. The method resolves the (R,R)-tadalafil and its enantiomer with a resolution (R s) greater than 2.4 in the developed chiral RP-LC. The mobile phase used for the separation and quantification of (R,R)-tadalafil and its enantiomer involves a simple mixture of reverse phase solvents and the cost of analysis was drastically decreased. The test concentration is 0.4 mg mL⁻¹ in the mobile phase. This method is capable of detecting the enantiomer of (R,R)-tadalafil up to 0.0048 μg wrt test concentration 400 μg mL⁻¹ for a 20 μL injection volume. The drug was subjected to stress conditions of hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis and thermal degradation. There was no interference of degradants with (R,R)-tadalafil and its enantiomer in the developed method. The developed chiral RP-LC method was validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness. The percentage recovery for the enantiomer of (R,R)-tadalafil in bulk drug samples and in dosage forms ranged from 97.0 to 102.5%. The test solution was found to be stable in the mobile phase for 48 h after preparation.
