The aim of this study is forced oxidative degradation of active pharmaceutical ingredient abacavir, used to treat HIV-infected patients. A fast and sensitive method for the determination of abacavir and its degradation products by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography has been developed and validated, that made it possible to evaluate the oxidation stability of abacavir and Ziagen tablets. Suitable chromatographic separation was achieved using a Kinetex C18 column and gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and ammonium acetate (c = 20 mmol dm−3 , pH = 7.0). The total run time was 11 minutes. The determination of abacavir and its degradation products was performed by a photodiode array detector at λ = 254 nm. The optimized method for the determination of abacavir and its degradation products was applied to study the oxidation of abacavir by both traditional and electrochemical approaches. The forced degradation study in solution revealed abacavir instability in the presence of 3% hydrogen peroxide and during electrochemical oxidation. The study found that excipients in the tablet suppress the degradation of abacavir by approximately 10 %. Abacavir is oxidized by 15 % by hydrogen peroxide after 24 hours at 25 řC, after 1.5 hours at 50 řC and after 5 minutes at...
