AbstractEasily degradating and various isomeric forms of rapamycin (Sirolimus) face the determination of this compound to many challenges. In this study, we developed and validated the isocratic reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for rapamycin. Separation was performed on a C8 column (MZ, 15 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm particle size) using methanol:water (80:20 v/v) as the mobile phase with the flow rate of 1 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 57°C and the detection was carried out at the wavelength of 277 nm. The method was linear over a concentration range of 0.025-2 μg/mL. The coefficient of variation of intra- and inter-day, assessed at three concentration levels of 0.075, 0.3 and 0.900 μg/mL, was less than 2%. Limit of quantification (LOQ) was found 25 ng/mL. The method with high percent recovery and short retention time of rapamycin, was found to be simple, rapid and reproducible.en
