It is difficult to analyze different concentrations of pharmaceutical active substances in dosage forms simultaneously, especially in formulations containing high amounts of excipients, on environmentally friendly principles without the need for any intervention. This study proposes a powerful analytical method for the simultaneous determination of L-ascorbic Acid and N- Acetyl Cysteine in an effervescent tablet using high performance liquid chromatography technique. In the study, it was aimed to reduce the use of toxic solvents/chemicals and waste emissions, to increase efficiency and to reduce the negative environmental consequences that may arise from them. The method was developed using a C18 (ACE-121-2546, 4.6 x 250 mm, 5 mu m) column and a sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer mobile phase. Detection wavelengths were taken as 210 and 240 nm while the flow rate was 1 mL/min. The linearity, accuracy and precision, selectivity, sensitivity, and robustness of the proposed method were validated using International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use Q2R criteria and its green assessment was validated by AGREE and AGREEprep applications. The linear range was taken as 0.1-100 mu g/mL for both compounds analyzed in the developed method. The detection limit of the method was 0.02 and 0.04 mu g/mL respectively for L-ascorbic Acid and N- Acetyl Cysteine. The recovery of the method was between 98.75%102.20% and the accuracy and precision of the method for all compounds were 0.17% and 0.11% respectively. This new environmentally friendly method can be easily used by the chemical and pharmaceutical industries for regular analysis without any restrictions.
