Introduction Azilsartan Medoxomil Potassium is chemically named as (5-Methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxol-4yl) methyl 2-ethoxy-1-{[2 - (5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl) biphenyl-4-yl]met- hyl}-1H-benzimidazole-7-carboxylate monopotassium salt (Figure 1). It is a white crystalline powder which is practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in methanol, dimethylsulfox- ide, and dimethylformamide, soluble in acetic acid, slightly soluble in acetone, and acetonitrile and very slightly soluble in tetrahydrofuran and 1-octanol [1]. e US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Edarbi tablet (Azilsartan Medoxomil Potassium) on February 25, 2011, to treat hypertension in adults. It is available in 80 mg and 40 mg dosages, with the recommended dosage set at 80 mg once in a day [2].

1 Introduction

Azilsartan Medoxomil Potassium is chemically namedas (5-Methyl-2-oxo-13-dioxol-4yl) methyl 2-ethoxy-1-[21015840-(5-oxo-45-dihydro-124-oxadiazol-3-yl) biphenyl-4-yl]met-hyl-1H-benzimidazole-7-carboxylate monopotassium salt(Figure 1) It is a white crystalline powder which is practicallyinsoluble inwater freely soluble inmethanol dimethylsulfox-ide and dimethylformamide soluble in acetic acid slightlysoluble in acetone and acetonitrile and very slightly solublein tetrahydrofuran and 1-octanol [1]

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasapproved Edarbi tablet (Azilsartan Medoxomil Potassium)on February 25 2011 to treat hypertension in adults It isavailable in 80mg and 40mgdosages with the recommendeddosage set at 80mg once in a day [2]

Angiotensin II hormone plays a vital role in activation ofrenin-angiotensin-aldosterone system as well as in regulationof blood pressure fluid-electrolyte balance and also in patho-physiology of hypertension Activation of type 1 angiotensin

receptor which is a member of G protein coupled receptorefficiently controls the numerous effects of AII which arevasoconstriction secretion of aldosterone and vasopressinand cellular proliferation So blocking of AII receptor willalso block receptor-1 and it will lead to termination of thewhole course of action mentioned above so AII blocker willbe helpful in the management of cardiovascular and renaldiseases as therapeutic agent [3]

The active moiety of AMP is revealed by hydrolysis ofthe medoxomil ester and it converts into Azilsartan which isan active angiotensin II receptor blocker and more effectivein lowering blood pressure within 24 hours as compared tovalsartan and olmesartan [4ndash6]

The literature survey shows that there is only a singlemethod available for quantitation of Azilsartan MedoxomilPotassium and Chlorthalidone in pharmaceutical dosageform [7] As per our findings there is not any methodreported for quantitation of AMP in human plasma thus itis inevitable to develop such a sensitive rapid and accurate

275 Recovery Percentage recovery of AMPwas determinedby comparing the AMP peak area obtained from extractedplasma samples with aqueous sample of the same concentra-tion standardThis procedure was followed for three differentconcentration levels of analyte 15 45 and 80120583gmL

3 Results and Discussion

During method development stages we found that theresults obtained by solid phase extractionmethod weremuchbetter than those obtained by protein precipitation extraction(especially mean recovery of analyte) so it was decided toproceed with SPE

31 Sample Preparation To accelerate drug dissociation ofanalyte from plasma different buffers were tried but with25mM ammonium acetate (pH 55) recovery and response

were found better so it was added to plasma sample andmethanol was used as eluent

32 Separation Different mobile phases were investigated byusing methanol acetonitrile and ammonium acetate in vari-ous proportions after several trialsmobile phase acetonitrile25mM ammonium acetate 45 55 vv (pH 55) was finalisedFlow rate selection was based on peak parameters heightasymmetry tailing baseline drift and run time Flow rate wasset at 10mLminThe retention time for the investigated drugwas found at 75min and runtime was 15min

Different columns have been tested with minimal effecton the resolution of the analyte and a Waters C

18column

has been finalised because of its demonstrated smooth-ness and reproducibility in this method Column-to-columnreproducibility was also evaluated only slight variations inretention time were observed when injecting the sample oncolumn from different manufacturers and containing thesame brand of packing material

The optimum wavelength for detection of analyte was254 nm at which much better detector response was

25 Preparation of Stock Solution and Spiked Plasma SamplesThe stock solution of AMP was prepared in methanol atconcentration of 10mgmL Working solution of 50120583gmLwas prepared by appropriately diluting the stock solutionof AMP in methanol water 50 50 vv Working solutionof AMP was used to prepare the spiking stock solution forpreparation of nine points of calibration curve (1ndash9120583gmL)and quality control samples at three concentration levels (15

45 and 80 120583gmL) All stock and working solutions werestored in refrigerator (at 2ndash8∘C) when not in use The spikedplasma samples were prepared by adding 25 120583L of respectivespiking stock solution in 475 120583L of blank plasma

26 Sample Preparation and Extraction Procedure Extrac-tion was performed by solid phase extraction procedurewhich is a very efficient technique and the samples extractedby this procedure are untainted compared to those extractedby other techniques Sample extracted by this method showsgood recovery results so it was decided to conduct themethod validation by using SPE technique to achieve moreefficient data of bioavailability and equivalence studies

475 120583L of plasma was spiked with 025120583L of respectiveQC and calibration standard in glass tube mixed with 250120583Lof 10mMammonium acetate buffer and vortexed thoroughlythen mixture was loaded into Strata-X cartridge which waspreconditioned by 2mL methanol followed by 2mL watercartridgewaswashed by 1mLwater two timesThen cartridgewas transferred into clean test tube the analyte was elutedin 10mL methanol and then 20120583L volume is injected intoHPLC system

27 Method Validation The validation was executed as perldquoGuidance for Industry Bioanalytical Method Validationrdquofrom the United States Food and Drug Administration [8]

271 Selectivity The selectivity of themethodwas performedto ensure absolute separation of AMP from the biologicalendogenous components of the human plasma Selectivitywas carried out by analysing seven different lots of blankhuman plasma by solid phase extraction procedure givenabove

272 Linearity Five standard curves of nine different con-centration standards and two blank samples have beenassayed but only nine concentration standards were includedin the calibration curve whereas blank samples were used tocheck interference and contamination Each calibration curveshould meet the following acceptance criteria deviation atLLOQ level must be lower than 20 and not more than 15deviation for the rest of the standards other than LLOQ

273 Precision andAccuracy Interday and intraday precisionand accuracy were evaluated by five spiked samples atanalyzing three different concentrations of AMP (15 45and 80 120583gmL) Within batch precession and accuracy weredetermined by repeated analysis of five spiked samples ofAMP at each QC level Intraday precession and accuracywere determined by repeated analysis of three consecutivedays (5 series per day)The concentration of each sample wasdetermined using standard curves prepared and analysed onthe same day

274 Matrix Effect Matrix effect was evaluated by com-paring peak areas of extracted samples using five differentlots of human plasma in triplicate at three concentrationlevel of analyte (15 45 and 80 120583gmL) percentage RSD

obtained For the estimation of AMP a sharp and symmet-rical peak was obtained with good baseline which assists theaccurate measurement of the peak area

33 Assay Selectivity Seven blank samples were assayedto examine selectivity of the method and there was nointerference of endogenous peak observed at the retentiontime of AMP (Figure 2)

34 Linearity Five calibration curves were assayed as men-tioned in Section 25 and all of them met the acceptancecriteria with good regression (1199032 = 09985) The linearityof the method was evaluated by a calibration curve in theconcentration range of 1ndash9120583gmL Calibration curve wasdetermined by peak area versus concentration Concentra-tion of analyte was calculated by using mean calculationformula 119884 = 30365119909 + 1723 Data of calibration curves isgiven in Tables 1 and 2

35 LOD and LOQ Limit of detection and limit of quan-tification (LOD and LOQ) were estimated in accordancewith the baseline to noise ratio it should be 3 and 10 timeshigher than the blank plasma sample respectively LOD andLOQ were estimated to be 0150120583gmL and 0400120583gmLrespectively a representative chromatogram of LOD andLOQ is given in Figure 3

36 Precision and Accuracy RSD and accuracy of intradayprecision were in the range 153ndash841 and 102ndash105 while

for interday it was found to be 178ndash459 and 99ndash113respectivelyThe results revealed good precision and accuracy(Table 3)

37 Matrix Effect Results of matrix effect are given inTable 4 Percentage of RSD and accuracy of the injectedsamples for LQC was 119ndash754 and 9966ndash10478 forMQC 164ndash258 and 10316ndash1084 and for HQC was343ndash711 and 10316ndash10646 respectively Results indi-cate that there is no considerable endogenous compo-nent from blank plasma interferes in the measurement ofanalyte

38 Extraction Recovery The extraction recovery deter-mined for AMP was shown to be consistent precise andreproducible As per result given in Table 5 mean recoveriesof the three concentration levels (15 45 and 80120583gmL)were 9369 9157 and 9164 respectively whereas the meanrecovery between QC level is 9235
