Abstract :
High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) and spectrophotometric methods developed for the simultaneous determination of antihypertensive mixture namely Perindopril and Indapamide in bulk powder and in tablets dosage form. Chromatographic separation of Perindopril and Indapamide was achieved on the Econosphere C-18 column (150mm x 4.6mm, 5µm) using a mobile phase system consisting of acetonitrile: 5mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) (50:50) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min with UV detection at 202 nm. Method validation parameters were found to be acceptable over the concentration ranges of 1-140 ?g/mL and 1-40 ?g/mL for Perindopril and Indapamide respectively. Regarding the spectrophotometric methods, two methods were employed, Ratio Subtraction and First Derivative methods. In Ratio Subtraction method, absorbance readings are taken at two wavelengths 277.48 nm (?max of Aliskiren) and 315 nm (extended spectrum of Hydrochlorothiazide) in methanol. In First Derivative method, absorbance readings are taken at two wavelengths 237.2 nm (for Aliskiren) and 275.8 nm (for Hydrochlorothiazide) in methanol. The applied spectrophotometric methods were found to be rapid, specific, precise and accurate over the concentration range of 5 – 150 ?g/mL and 1 – 41 ?g/mL for Aliskiren and Hydrochlorothiazide respectively.
