Validated RP-HPLC Method for the Estimation of Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide in Combined Tablet Dosage Form

Abstract

The aim of this work is to build up a rapid, exact, precise and accurate reverse phase liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous analysis of amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide in tablet dose structure. The chromatographic strategy was normalized utilizing Hypersil ODS coulmn (250×4.6mm, 5μm molecule size) with UV detection at 210nm and flow rate of 1ml/min. The mobile phase includes phosphate buffer (pH acclimated to 2.5 with dilute Ortho Phosphoric acid) and acetonitrile in the proportion of 60:40 v/v. The linearity of proposed technique was found in the range of 5-30μg/ml (R²=0.999) for amiloride and 50-300μg/ml (R²=0.999) for Hydrochlorothiazide appropriately. The limit of detection (LOD) was discovered to be 0.10μg/ml and 0.40μg/ml for Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide appropriately. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was discovered to be 0.30μg/ml and 1.20μg/ml for Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide separately. The retention times of Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide were found to be 3.258min and 2.383min separately. The technique was truly recommended and %RSD was found to be under 2 demonstrating high degree of exactness and accuracy. Subsequently proposed strategy can be effectively evaluated for the simultaneous estimation of Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide in promoted formulations.
