Abstract
Pioglitazone hydrochloride is an oral antidiabetic agent that improves sensitivity to insulin. It is used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Requirements for drug active substances are specified in documents from International Conference of Harmonization. According to these guidelines quality of the pharmaceutical compounds must be confirmed by validated analytical methods [1,2].

The quality of pioglitazone hydrochloride batches manufactured in Pharmaceutical Research Institute was examined by the following methods:

  • Gas Chromatography (GC) was used for the quantitative determination of the following solvents: 2-propanol, acetone, acetic acid.
  • High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used for determination of the purity and quantity of the active substance,
  • Potentiometric titration was used for quantitative determination of chloride anion.

Adapted methods were validated to prove that all the procedures used to generate analytical data are suitable for their purpose.
