ABSTRACT

Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone is an approved widely used anti-

hypertensive fixed dose combination of angiotensin receptor blocker

and diuretic drugs. The main objective was to develop a stability

indicating RP-HPLC Method for simultaneous estimation of both the

drugs in bulk API and Fixed Dose Combination. In RP-HPLC method,

separation was achieved by Agilent Extend C18 (150 mm× 4.6 mm id,

5 μm particle size) column using Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate

Buffer of pH-6.5: Acetonitrile in Gradient run with starting ratio of

75:25, % v/v as the mobile phase with detection wavelength of 235

nm. The retention time of Chlorthalidone and Telmisartan were found

3.82 min and 14.23 min respectively. The linearity was found to be in

range of 6-18 mcg/mL and 20-60 mcg/mL respectively. The percent Recovery of

Chlorthalidone and Telmisartan was found to be in the range of 99.19-101.19 % and 99.19-

101.91% respectively. The developed method adequately separate potential degradation

products formed under stress conditions establishing specificity of the method for the

estimation of the drugs. Chlorthalidone degraded significantly under acidic and alkaline

conditions and marginally under oxidative, photolytic and neutral conditions while it was

stable under thermal condition. Telmisartan degraded significantly under neutral degradation

conditions, marginally under acidic, alkaline and thermal conditions and remained stable

under oxidative and Photolytic condition. The proposed method was validated as per ICH

Guidelines thus it can be successfully applied for the estimation of drugs in Telmisartan and

Chlorthalidone Tablets.

INTRODUCTION

Telmisartan (TS) is chemically 4′-[[4-Methyl-6-(1-methyl-1Hbenzimidazol- 2-yl)-2-propyl-

1H-benzimidazol-1-yl] methyl] biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid. It is an angiotensin II receptor

antagonist which is used in treatment of hypertension. Angiotensin II receptor blockers bind

to angiotensin II type 1 receptors and inhibits its effect on vascular smooth muscle which

cause reduction in arterial blood pressure.[1]

It is official in Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP),

British Pharmacopoeia (BP) and U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP). It is estimated by Liquid

Chromatography as per IP and Potentiometric Titration as per BP and USP.[3-5]

Literature

methods have

been reported for quantification of TEL in pharmaceutical dosage form. Chlorthalidone is

chemically a 2-Chloro-5-(1-hydroxy-3- oxo-1-isoindolinyl) benzene sulfona-mide is thiazide-

like diuretic. It inhibits Na+ K

+ 2Cl

- co-transport in ascending loop of Henle. It is used in

Antihypertensive preparations and other cardiovascular diseases.[2]

It is official in Indian

with methanol. These were stock solutions of strength of 1000 μg/ mL of TEL and 1000

μg/mL of CHLO. From these take 5 mL form Individual stock solution and transferred in to

50 mL Volumetric Flask separately and diluted up to mark with diluent(100 μg/mL ). From

above Solutions take 4 mL TEL and 1.25 mL CHLO in a 10 mL volumetric Flask and diluted

up to mark with diluent to get concentration of TEL (40 μg/mL) and CHLO (12.5 μg/mL).

Analysis of TEL and CHLO in marketed Tablet Formulation

To estimate TEL and CHLO Simultaneously in tablets (ERITEL CH-40 label claim 40 mg

TEL and 12.5 mg CHLO); twenty tablets were weighed, average weigh was calculated and

ground to fine powder. Amount equivalent to 40 mg TEL and 12.5 mg CHLO of powder was

transferred into 50 mL volumetric flask, dissolve in 25 mL methanol., sonicated for 20 min

and diluted up to mark with methanol to get 800 μg/mL of TEL and 250 μg/mL of CHLO.

This solution was filtered. 1 mL of the filtrate was diluted to 10 mL with diluent to obtain 80

μg/mL of TEL and 25 μg/mL of CHLO. 5 mL of this was finally diluted to 10 mL with

diluent to get 40 μg/mL of TEL and 12.5 μg/mL of CHLO.

Method Validation

The developed method was validated as per ICH guidelines.

Linearity

Aliquots of individual working std. solution (0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.6 and 1.8 mL of CHLO and

2,3,4,5 and 6 mL of TEL) were transferred into series of 10 mL volumetric flask and diluted

up to mark with Diluent. This yield solution of 6-18 μg/ mL of CHLO and 20-60 μg/ mL of

TEL. An aliquot of An aliquot of 5 μL of each solution was injected under operating

chromatographic condition. Plot the calibration curve of Area vs. respective concentration

and find out correlation co- efficient and regression line equation for CHLO and TEL. Each

response was average of six determinations.

Precision

Repeatability was performed by applying six replicates of sample analysis. For intermediate

precision, intraday and interday precision were performed by determining corresponding

responses in triplicate an same and different days for CHLO (6.25, 12.5 and 18.75 µg/mL)

and for TEL (20,40 and 60 µg/ mL). The results were reported in terms of %RSD.

Accuracy

Recovery studies were carried out by standard addition method. A known amount of standard

CHLO (6.25, 12.5 and 18.75 µg/mL) and TEL (20,40 and 60 µg/ mL) similar to 50%, 100%

and 150% of the label claim were added to test solution of CHLO (12.5 µg/mL) and TEL (40

µg/mL). Same studies were carried out three times, at each level of recovery.

Sensitivity (LOD & LOQ)

The LOD and LOQ were separately determined from standard calibration curve. The

standard deviation of y intercepts of regression lines was used to calculate LOD and LOQ.

Formulas used are; LOD=3.3* σ /S and LOQ=10*σ/S, where σ= standard deviation of y

intercepts of regression line and S is slope of calibration curve.

Specificity (Peak Purity)

The specificity was determined by analyzing standard drug and test sample. The spot for

CHLO and TEL in the samples was confirmed by comparing Retention Time to that of a

standard. Peak Purity of CHLO and TEL was determined by comparing spectrum at 3

different regions of the spot i.e. peak start (S), peak apex (M) and peak end (E).

Robustness Study

Robustness was performed for factors like oven temperature, Flow Rate, Mobile phase

composition and pH. The data shows that proposed method is robust at small but deliberate

changes.

System Suitability Study

The system suitability checked by five replicate injections of standard solutions at 100% of

test concentration. The column efficiency as determined from TEL and CHLOR peak is not

less than 2000 per plate count. The tailing factor for each peak should be less than 2. % RSD

for both peak areas of five replicate injections of the standard solution should not be more

than 2%.

Forced Degradation Study

Force degradation study was done to indicate specificity and stability indication property of

method. Force degradation was attempted using acid, base, neutral, oxidation and light(UV).

CONCLUSION

Stability indicating RP-HPLC method has been developed and validated for simultaneous

estimation of Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone. The developed RP-HPLC method adequately

separated the drug from the degradation products proving the specificity of method and can

be used as stability indicating assay method for simultaneous estimation of Telmisartan and

Chlorthalidone. The proposed method was validated as per ICH guidelines and successfully

applied for the estimation of Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone Tablets.
