ABSTRACT

A simple, specific, accurate and precise reverse phase high pressure

liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the

simultaneous determination of Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide in

tablet dosage form by using Hypersil BDS C18, 250mm X 4.6 mm, 5µm

column. The samples were analyzed by using Methanol: water (80: 20)

v/v as a mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min in isocratic mode

and detection wavelength is 257 nm. Both the drugs were eluted within

5 minutes and gave sharp peaks with high theoretical plate count and

low tailing factor. The retention time for Irbesartan and

Hydrochlorothiazide was found to be 2.872 and 3.943 min

respectively. The validation was carried according to ICH guidelines.

Calibration curve was linear with correlation coefficient of 0.997 and

0.999 over a concentration range of 60µg/mL-240µg/mL and 5-20µg/ml for Irbesartan and

Hydrochlorothiazide respectively. The percent recovery was 99.80 for Irbesartan and 99.80

for Hydrochlorothiazide indicating accuracy and reliability of method. So the method can be

used for estimation of combination of these drugs in tablet dosage form.

1. INTRODUCTION

Irbesartan is a non-peptide compound, chemically described as a 2-butyl-3-[p-(o-1H-tetrazol-

5ylphenyl) benzyl]-1,3-diazaspiro[4.4]non-1-en-4-one. Its empirical formula is C25H28N6O,

and its structural formula is given in Fig.1. Hydrochlorothiazide is 6-chloro-3, 4-dihydro-2H-

1, 2, 4-benzothiadiazine-7-sulfonamide 1,1dioxide. Its empirical formula is

C7H8ClN3O4S2 and its structural formula is given in Fig.2. Irbesartan is a type of medicine

called an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It works by preventing the action of a hormone in

the body called angiotensin II. Irbesartan blocks the receptors that angiotensin II acts on, and

so prevents its actions. The main result of this is that the peripheral blood vessels are allowed

to widen, which means that there is more space and less resistance in these blood vessels.

This lowers the pressure inside the blood vessels.

Hydrochlorothiazide is a type of medicine known as a thiazide diuretic. Thiazide diuretics act

in the kidneys, where they increase the production of urine. They work by causing the

kidneys to increase the amount of salts, such as potassium and sodium that are filtered out of

the blood and into the urine. When these salts are filtered out of the blood by the kidneys,

water is also drawn alongside. As hydrochlorothiazide increases the removal of salts from the

blood, it also causes more water to be drawn out of the blood and into the urine.

A combination of 3000mg of Irbesartan and 12.5mg Hydrochlorothiazide is available

commercially as tablets. This combination is used in the treatment of Hypertension.

Literature survey revealed that UV spectrophotometric, HPLC methods, HPTLC and

Capillary electrophoresis methods are available for estimation of MET and FENO

individually and also in combination with other drugs [6-15]. Few reports are also available

on the simultaneous estimation of Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide using techniques like

Spectrophotometric and RP-HPLC but they are suffering from their own drawbacks like high

retention time or poor resolution or use of expensive solvents etc.

The aim of present work is to develop and validate a new, simple, better and economical

method for the simultaneous estimation of Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide in tablet

dosage form by RP-HPLC with improved conditions and parameters for routine use in the

laboratories. The chemical structures of the assayed compounds are given below.

4. Determination of working wavelength (λ max)

Fig-3 Overlay spectra of both Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide

To ascertain the maximum wavelength (λ max), the standard solutions were scanned between

200-400nm in UV spectrometer and the wavelength of 257nm is best suitable for both the

analytes (Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide) and hence the experiment is carried out in the

wavelength of 257nm.

5. Preparation of solutions

5.1. Preparation of Mobile phase

800mL (80%) of methanol is mixed with the 200mL (20%) of nanopure water and filtered

through vacuum filtration using 0.45µm filter and degassed in a ultrasonic water bath for

10min.

5.2. Preparation of Diluent

Mobilephase was used as diluent.

5.3. Preparation of Standard stock solution

Standard stock solutions of Irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide were prepared by dissolving

300mg of Irbesartan and25mg of hydrochlorothiazide were dissolved in 20 mL of diluent

separately and sonicated for 10min and made up the volume to 100mL with diluent and were

www.wjpr.net

1064

Siddardha et al. World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research

labelled as standard stock solution-1(Irbesartan 3mg/mL) and standard stock solution-

2(hydrochlorothiazide 0.25mg/mL).

5.4. Preparation of mixed standard solution

0.4mL of standard stock solution-1, 0.4mL of standard stock solution-2 was transferred to 10

mL volumetric flask and made up the volume to 10mL with diluent.

5.5. Preparation of sample solution

Twenty tablets were weighed, ground in to a fine powder and mixed thoroughly. A quantity

of powder equivalent to 300mg of Irbesartan (25mg of hydrochlorothiazide) was weighed and

transferred in to a 100ml volumetric flask and was dissolved in the diluents. The volume was

made up to the mark with the same and the resulting solution was labelled as test stock

solution. A solution containing 120µg/ml of Irbesartan (10µg/ml of hydrochlorothiazide) was

prepared by appropriate dilution of the test stock solution. The solutions thus prepared were

filtered through 0.45µ membrane filter and the filtrate was sonicated for 10min.

6. Assay

20µL of test solution containing (120µg/mL of Irbesartan and 10µg/mL of

Hydrochlorothiazide) was injected three times at the optimised method conditions and the

chromatograms of three injections were recorded and the % Assay was calculated using the

following formula:

%Assay= Sample Area x Standard Wt x Tablet Avg Wt x 100

Standard Area x Sample Wt x Label Amt

7. Method validation

The developed method is validated by following the ICH guidelines with respect to

parameters such as system suitability, linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection, limit

of quantification, robustness and specificity.

7.1. System Suitability

To verify the working condition of analytical system whether it can give accurate and precise

results, 20µL of working standard solution containing 120µg/mL of Irbesartan and 10µg/mL

of hydrochlorothiazide was injected for 5 times and the chromatograms were taken for the

same and the results were tabulated.

7.2. Linearity

The linearity of the Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide was established over the range of

60µg/mL-240µg/mL and 5-20µg/mL respectively and the chromatograms were taken for the

same and calibration plot was drawn and regression analysis was performed and regression

coefficient was calculated.

7.3. Accuracy

The accuracy of the method was evaluated by recovery studies which were carried out by

standard addition method, where a known amount of sample was spiked with mixed standard

solution at three levels 50%,100% and 150%.At each levels recovery studies were performed

in triplicate and expressed as percentage recoveries.

7.3.1. Preparation of mixed standard solution

30mg of Irbesartan and 2.5mg oh hydrochlorothiazide were accurately weighed in to a 10 mL

volumetric flask and made up the volume with diluent. The resulting solution contains the

3000µg/mL of Irbesartan and 250µg/mL of hydrochlorothiazide.

7.3.2. Preparation of standard and test solutions

Mixed standard solutions containing 40, 80 and 120µg/mL of Irbesartan (5, 10 and 15µg/mL

of hydrochlorothiazide) respectively were prepared in triplicates, from the mixed standard

stock solution by appropriate dilutions. Sample solutions containing 40µg/mL of Irbesartan

(5µg/mL of hydrochlorothiazide) were prepared by appropriate dilution of sample stock

solution (containing 3000 µg/mL of Irbesartan and 250 µg/mL of hydrochlorothiazide).

7.3.3. Procedure for spiking

Spiking at 50%level was accomplished in triplicate, by adding 3ml of unfilterated sample

solution to 1.5mL of mixed standard stock solution in a test tube. The contents of the test tube

were shaken for some time and filtered through a whatmann filter in to a 10mL volumetric

flask and washed 2 times with diluent and made up the volume with the diluent and filtered

through 0.44 µm filter in to autoinjector vial.In same way the 100% and 150% spiking was

prepared by adding 3mL of unfiltered sample solution in to 3mL and 4.5mL of mixed

standard stock solution respectively in to a separate test tubes.

7.4. Precision

The precision was checked at levels of repeatability and also checked for both system

precision and method precision. In case of system precision only one preparation was done at

the level of 120µg/mL, injected on the same day for 5times and where as for interday

precision it was determined by injecting by preparing on different days. In case of method

precison five different preparations were done and both intra and inter day precison was

performed. The results of the repeatability and intermediate precision were calculated and

tabulated.

7.5. Limit of detection

7.2µg/mL of Irbesartan and 2µg/mL of hydrochlorothiazide was prepared by making

appropriate dilutions from standard stock solutions and injected in to HPLC system and

optimised chromatographic conditions; using signal to noise ratio, LOD was calculated.

LOD=3.3(σ/S)

σ = standard deviation

S=Slope of the calibration curve

7.6. Limit of quantification

18µg/mL of Irbesartan and 3.2µg/mL of hydrochlorothiazide was prepared by making

appropriate dilutions from standard stock solutions and injected in to HPLC system and

optimised chromatographic conditions, signal using signal to noise ratio, LOQ was calculated

LOD=10(σ/S)

σ = standard deviation

S=Slope of the calibration curve

7.7. Robustness

Robustness was performed by making deliberate changes in the chromatographic conditions

like

1) Change in flow rate (±0.2mL/min)

2) Change in detection wavelength (±2nm)

8.7. Robustness

Robustness of the proposed method was done by making deliberate changes in the flow rate

and wavelength from the optimized conditions of the developed method and computing the

%RSD of the peak areas. The %RSD for Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide at 0.8 ml/min

was found to be 0.87% and 0.67% respectively and at 1.2 ml/min they were found to be

0.67% and 0.23% respectively. At a wavelength of 255nm, the %RSDs for the drugs were

found to be 0.76%, 0.98% and at 259nm they were found to be 0.23% and 0.32%

respectively. As the %RSDs of peak areas and system suitability parameters were found to be

within the acceptance limit, the proposed method was said to be robust.
