    Abstract

    Enoxaparin is a low-molecular weight heparin used clinically for the prevention and treatment of venous and arterial thrombosis. An anti-factor Xa assay was used to evaluate the potency of the final drug preparation. Method validation investigated parameters such as the range, linearity (r2 = 0.9971), precision, accuracy, and robustness; the biological assay incorporated a chromogenic endpoint and detection at 405 nm. The method yielded good results with a quantitation limit of 0.037 IU/mL and a detection limit of 0.011 IU/mL. The results demonstrated the validity of the anti-factor Xa assay for the determination of enoxaparin.
