Rapid Separation of Five Anti-Hypertensive Agents - Atenolol, Metoprolol, Hydrochlorothiazide, Amlodipine and Nebivolol: Application to Estimation of Metoprolol Succinate in Tablet Dosage Form


ABSTRACT:

One of the key goals of High Performance Liquid Chromatography technique is to achieve a consistent and reproducible separation. A simple, precise, selective and sensitive HPLC method with UV detection was developed for separation of five anti-hypertensive agents, atenolol hydrochloride, metoprolol succinate, hydrochlorothiazide, amlodipine besylate and nebivolol hydrochloride and validated for determination of metoprolol succinate. RPHPLC method was developed by using Welchrom C18Column (4.6 mm i.d. X 250mm, 5µm), Shimadzu LC-20AT ProminenceLiquid Chromatograph. The mobile phase composed of10 mM Phosphate buffer (pH3.0,adjusted with triethylamine): acetonitrile(50:50, v/v).The flow rate was set to 1.0 ml/min with the responses measured at 235nm using Shimadzu SPD-20A Prominence UV-Visible detector. The retention times of atenolol hydrochloride, Metoprolol succinate, hydrochlorothiazide, amlodipine besylate and nebivolol hydrochloride were found to be 2.303 min, 2.827 min, 3.500 min, 4.253 minand 4.957 min respectively. The separation was achieved within 6 min. The statistical validation of the developed method was carried out according to ICH guidelines. 


Metoprolol succinate was found to give linear response in the concentration range of 2-10µg/ml. Recovery studies were performed to ascertain the accuracy by standard addition method and average recovery was found to be 99.8-100.75%. The LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.1840 µg/ml and 0.5578 µg/ml respectively. The developed method can be used for routine quality control analysis of metoprolol succinatein pharmaceutical tablet dosage form. It can also be extended for the determination of other most commonly prescribed anti-hypertensive agents namely atenolol hydrochloride, hydrochlorothiazide, amlodipine besylate and nebivolol hydrochloride. This method provides a fast, simple method with excellent peak symmetry and high resolution.

Quantitative analysis of civetone and normuscone in secretion from Viverricula indica and in aromatic remedies by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Image
ABSTRACT : The quantitation of civetone and normuscone in small Indian civet (Viverricula indica Desmarest) secretion cultivated in Thailand was analyzed by gas chromatography- mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Three main chemical constituents of small Indian civet secretion were civetone, dihydrocivetone and normuscone. The contents of chemical constituents were different between male and female secretion. Civetone (23.6 ± 1.5 µg/mg of secretion) was a major chemical constituent in the female secretion while normuscone (52.1 ± 5.9 µg/mg of secretion) was a major in the male secretion. Both civetone and normuscone were found in civet fur but not in the feces. Aromatic remedies which claimed to use the small Indian civet secretion as an ingredient showed both civetone and normuscone. Linearity range of civetone was 0-50 µg/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.9717, and of normuscone was 0-80 µg/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.9965. The average recoveries were 97.3-98.0% in sec...

Antimicrobial activity of aqueous, ethanolic, methanolic, cyclohexanic extracts and essential oil of Nigella sativa seeds

Image
  ABSTRACT : Most of the bacterial pathogens are resistant to existing synthetic antibacterial agents demanding an increasing effort to seek effective phytochemicals as antibacterial agents against such pathogens. Nigella sativa L. (black cumin) seeds play an important role in folk medicine and some of its major constituents are reported to be pharmacologically active. In this present work, Nigellasativa seed extracts were obtained using maceration extraction by various solvents (water, ethanol, methanol, and cyclohexan). The antibacterial and antifungal effects of different extracts and essential oil of seeds were investigated by the agar diffusion method against two gram positive (Bacillus subtilis CIP52.62 ,Staphylococcus aureus CIP4.83) and three gram negative strains of bacteria (Escherichia coli CIP53.126 ,Pseudomonas aeroginosa CIP82.118, Salmonella abony CIP80.39) and one strain of fungi (Candida albicans CIP48.72). All the extracts and essential oil showed varying d...

Analysis of total phenols,total tannins and screening of phytocomponents in Indigofera aspalathoides (Shivanar Vembu) Vahl EX DC

Image
ABSTRACT: The plant Indigofera aspalathoides is popularly known as Sivanar vembu in Tamil belongs to the family fabaceae. The stem is traditionally used for various skin disorders and cancer. In the traditional medicinal system, the leaves, flowers and tender shoot are said to be cooling and demulcent, they are used in the form of decoction for leprosy and cancer affections. Qualitative and quantitative Phytocomponents test were screened in Indigofera aspalathoides. The total content of some important phytochemical constituents like phenols, tannins of Indigofera aspalathoides by studied using spectrophotometric methods. The results showed that the plant is rich in phenols (47.38±1.532) compare than Tannins (34.59±1.788).  Further details Home page URL : http://www.jocpr.com/ For more details PDF Link :  http://www.jocpr.com/articles/analysis-of-total-phenolstotal-tannins-and-screening-of-phytocomponents-in-indigofera-aspalathoides-shivanar-vembu-vahl.pdf
