Abstract
AbstractAccurate, sensitive and green HPTLC chromatographic method was proposed for simultaneous determination of metformin, glipizide and sitagliptin in the presence of metformin potential toxic impurities melamine and cyanoguanidine. The separation was completed on silica gel HPTLC F254 plates using a mixture of ethyl acetate: methanol: ammonia: formic acid (7: 2: 0.2: 0.2, by volume) as a developing system with UV scanning for the developed bands at 235 nm. The Rf values for metformin, glipizide, sitagliptin, melamine and cyanoguanidine were 0.17, 0.84, 0.67, 0.47 and 0.75, respectively. Linear responses were observed in the ranges of 0.2–3, 0.07–1.5, 1.5–5, 0.8–4 and 0.4–2 μg/band with correlation coefficients of 0.9999, 0.9998, 0.9997, 0.9996 and 0.9998 for metformin, glipizide, sitagliptin, melamine and cyanoguanidine, respectively. The proposed method was validated as per ICH criteria with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity and robustness. The validated method was successfully applied for determination of the studied drugs in Janumet® and Engilor® tablets; also, the results were statistically compared to those obtained by the reported spectrophotometric method and no significant difference was found between them. This method permitted the accurate simultaneous determination of the studied drugs, indicating its ability to be used for routine quality control assays of these drugs.
