6.2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

A simple, rapid, precise RP-HPLC method was developed for simultaneous

estimation of aspirin and clopidogrel bisulphate in tablet dosage form used in the

treatment of cardiovascular diseases. To achieve the maximum resolution,

acetonitrile:50mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer:methanol, solution pH

adjusted to 3, in the ratio 50:30:20; v/v was selected as mobile phase. This mixture

was found to be appropriate allowing good separation of both the components at a

Page 4: CHAPTER–6 Development and Validation of a assay by HPLC ...shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/17180/12/12_chapter 6.pdf · Chapter-6 Page 188 CHAPTER–6 Development and

Chapter-6 Page 191

flow rate of 1.5 mL/min and detection wavelength 240 nm. In these conditions

Clopidogrel bisulfate and aspirin were eluted at the 7.47 and 2.2 min. The linearity

was found in the concentration range 1.5-7.5 and 3.5-15.0 µg/mL, respectively. All

the analytical validation parameters were determined and found with in the limit as

per ICH guidelines, which indicates the validity of method. The HPLC system

consisted of a solvent delivery module LC-10ATvp Shimadzu liquid chromatograph

pump equipped with 20 mL loop and model SPD M10Avp Shimadzu UV/VIS diode

array detector. Integration was achieved by using the soft ware LC-10 . Separation

was carried out on a phenomenex, (250×4.6mm) Luna 5m C-18 (2) 100A column.

The chromatographic analysis was performed at ambient temperature. The mobile

phase consisted of the mixture of solvents, acetonitrile:50mM potassium dihydrogen

phosphate buffer : methanol, solution pH adjusted to 3.0 with ortho phosphoric acid,

in the ratio 50:30:20; v/v. The prepared mobile phase was filtered through a

Millipore 0.45 mm membrane filter and ultrasonically degassed prior to use. The

detection wavelength was set at 240 nm and the peak area was recorded using

chromatographic data system. The flow rate and run time was set to 1.5 mL/min and

10 min, respectively. All the system suitability parameters capacity factor, plate

number, tailing factor, retention time, and resolution were optimized by freshly

prepared standard solution of CPS (3.0 mg/mL) and ASP (15.0 mg/mL). To develop

a suitable method accurately weighed CPS and ASP were dissolved in mobile phase

(acetonitrile:buffer:methanol (5:3:2 v/v) to obtain solution of 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0 and

7.5 mg/mL for CSP and 3.0, 6.0, 9.0, 12.0 and 15.0 mg/mL for ASP. Before the HPLC

injection the solution were filter through 0.45µm HPLC filter. Peak area under the

curve of mixed standard were observed and plotted against respective concentration

and linearity was observed in the range of 0.0-7.5 mg/mL for CPS and 0.0-15.0

mg/mL for ASP at the 240 nm.

A simple, precise and economical first-order (Method A), area under curve

[AUC] (Method B) UV Spectro photometric methods have been developed and

validated for the estimation of Clopidogrel in bulk and its tablet formulation. The

solutions of standard and sample were prepared in 0.1 N HCl. Clopidogrel was

estimated at 219 nm for the first order UV-Spectro photometric method, while area

under the zero order spectrum of Clopidogrel was measured in between 221 nm to

231 nm for AUC method. Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 10 -

30 μg / mL with (r) value 0.999 for first order method. Similarly in AUC method,

Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 10 - 30 μg / mL with (r) value

0.999. These methods were tested and validated for various parameters according to

ICH guidelines. The precision expressed as relative standard deviation, which was

with in the range of 0.169 % to 0.519 % for the above two methods. The proposed

methods were successfully applied for the determination of Clopidogrel in tablet

formulations. In addition, the proposed methods are simple, easy to apply, low-cost,

and requires relatively in expensive instruments.

Clopidogrel bisulphate is an inhibitor of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-

induced platelet aggregation which makes it an effective drug for reducing the

incidence ischemic strokes, heart attacks or claudication due to vascular diseases

such as atherosclerosis. A stability-indicating HPLC method for the quantitative

determination of Clopidogrel bisulphate is described. Separation was achieved on a

Inertsil C8 HPLC column using a mobile phase which consists of a mixture of 0.1 %

trifluoroacetic acid (Solvent A) and acetonitrile (Solvent B). Degradation studies

were performed on bulk samples of Clopidogrel bisulphate using acidic (0.5 N

hydrochloric acid), basic (0.1 N sodium hydroxide), neutral (water:acetonitrile

mixture 1:1), oxidative (6 % v/v hydrogen peroxide), thermal (105°C) and

photolytic (UV light -254 nm). Conditions, degradation was observed under acidic,

basic and neutral hydrolysis conditions to give Clopidogrel carboxylic acid. Two

additional degradation products were observed under the conditions of oxidative

degradation. The degradation products observed during forced degradation studies

were monitored using the HPLC method developed. Method developed was LCMS

compatible and the same was used to identify the degradation products. The mass

spectrum provides the identity of degradation products formed and proves the

specificity of the method unambiguously The method was validated with respect to

specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness. The output signal was

monitored and processed using Empower software (Waters) on a Pentium computer

(HP). The column used was a Inertsil C8 (250 X 4.6 mm I.D., 5.0μm) and the mobile

phase consisted of solvent A (1.0mL of trifluoroacetic acid in 1000 mL of HPLC

grade water) and solvent B (acetonitrile). The flow rate was 1.0 mL/ min. The HPLC

gradient was T/B (where T is time in minutes and B is % concentration of solvent B

in terms of volume by volume i.e. v/v ) :0 min / 20%, 6 min /20% , 40 min / 80% ,

45 min /80 % , 48 min / 20% and 50 min / 20% v/v. The column temperature was

maintained at 25°C and the analysis was carried out at wavelength λ = 225 nm. The

injection volume was 20μL. A mixture of water and acetonitrile (1:1) was used as

diluent.

6.4.4.3. Selection of mobile phase:

Clopidogrelbisulphate is a thieno pyridine class inhibitor of P2Y12 ADP

platelet receptors derivative and the impurities of Clopidogrelbisulphate were

having wide range of polarities and the separation of these impurities mainly

depends on the column stationary phase. An isocratic method was mobile phase of

buffer is 1.5g of potassium dihydrogen phoshate in water pH adjusted to 7.5 and

acetonitrile was suitable for the separation of Clopidogrel bisulphate and its related

substances. Mobile phase was degassed and filtered through 0.22µm millipore filter

paper.

Sample solution preparation: Weighed 10 mg of sample into 50 mL volumetric

flask, dissolved and diluted to volume with diluent.

The solution stability of Clopidogrel bisulphate in the assay method was

carried out by leaving both the test solutions of sample and reference standard in

tightly capped volumetric flasks at room temperature for two days. The same sample

solutions were performed for 0 hrs(Sample solution initial), 12hrs, 24hrs and 48

hrs. The mobile phase stability was also carried out by performing the freshly

prepared sample solutions against freshly prepared was kept constant during the

study period. The % RSD for the assay of Clopidogrel bisulphate was calculated

during mobile phase and solution stability experiments.

Conclusion: No significant changes were observed in the assay content of

Clopidogrel bisulphate during solution stability and mobile phase stability

experiments when performed using the assay method. The solution stability and

mobile phase stability experiment data confirms that the sample solutions and

mobile phases used during assay were stable for at least 48 hours. The results are

summarized in the table-6.8
