Abstract
AbstractA rapid and sensitive isocratic ion-pair chromatographic method was developed for the accurate analysis of ternary mixtures of formoterol, tiotropium, and ciclesonide in their novel combined inhalation that is widely used for the symptomatic treatment of patients with chronic obstructive disease. Analytical separation was performed using a C8 column and ion pair mobile phase composed of acetonitrile: acidified deionized water (55: 45% v/v) containing 0.025% sodium dodecyl sulfate. The pH was adjusted to 3.0 using orthophosphoric acid and eluted isocratically at 2.0 mL/min and 40 °C applying UV detection at 237 nm. The calibration ranges were found to be 0.3–9.0 µg/mL for formoterol, 0.45–13.5 µg/mL for tiotropium, and 10.0–300.0 µg/mL concerning ciclesonide. The proposed method exhibited good repeatability, accuracy, and sensitivity (R.S.D. < 2.0%). The approach is rapid (run time does not exceed 15 min) and achieves satisfactory resolution (resolution factors = 7.45 and 5.3 between formoterol and tiotropium and tiotropium and ciclesonide respectively). The sensitivity and the efficiency of the proposed method permit their successful estimation with a recovery percentage ± SD of 99.33% ± 0.43 for formoterol, 99.15% ± 0.60 for tiotropium, and 99.90% ± 0.41 for ciclesonide.
