Abstract :
Ensuring the quality, safety, and purity of antibacterial drugs requires robust analytical methods capable of detecting and quantifying both active pharmaceutical ingredients and their associated impurities. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) remains the most reliable and widely adopted technique for this purpose due to its superior sensitivity, precision, and suitability for stability-indicating analysis. Linezolid, a vital oxazolidinone antibiotic used against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens, requires stringent impurity profiling because of its susceptibility to degradation under stress conditions. This review provides a conceptual overview of RP-HPLC method development and validation for antibacterial agents, highlighting key analytical parameters such as mobile phase selection, wavelength optimization, chromatographic behavior, and ICH-recommended validation criteria. The discussion also outlines comparative analytical considerations for Daptomycin and emphasizes current trends and future advancements in chromatographic technologies relevant to antibiotic quality control.
