ABSTRACT: An accurate, precise, sensitive and selective stability indicating High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatographic method has been developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of Amlodipine besylate (AML) and Losartan potassium (LOS) in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage formulation. Chromatographic separation of both the drugs was achieved by using TLC aluminum plates pre-coated with silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ as the stationary phase and chloroform: methanol: toluene: acetic acid (5.5: 2.5: 2: 0.05 v/v/v/v) as mobile phase. Densitometric analysis was carried out in the absorbance mode at 237 nm. The R_f values found to be 0.23 ± 0.02 and 0.74 ± 0.02 for AML and LOS respectively. The method was validated in compliance with ICH Guideline for linearity, the limit of detection (LOD), the limit of quantification (LOQ), precision, specificity, accuracy, repeatability, and robustness.  Linear regression analysis data for the calibration plots showed good linear relationship over the concentration range of 100-400 ng/spot (r² = 0.9993) and 500-1750 ng/spot (r² = 0.9991) for AML and LOS respectively. The LOD and LOQ were 24.46 and 74.14 ng/spot for AML and 10.82 and 32.80 ng/spot for LOS. The recoveries of AML and LOS were found to be 99.48-99.56% and 99.51-99.89% respectively. The drugs were subjected to acidic, alkaline, oxidative, neutral and thermal degradation conditions. The degradation product of Losartan in acidic condition was carried out, and its degradation product is successfully separated and isolated by HPTLC method. Degradation product was identified by using the MS technique.

HPTLC, Amlodipine besylate, Losartan potassium, Stability indicating method development, Validation, Hypertension

INTRODUCTION: Amlodipine besylate (AML, Fig. 1), chemically, (RS)-3-ethyl-5-methy-l -2 -(2-amino ethoxymethyl) -4 -(2-chlorophenyl) -1, 4-dihydro -6 -methyl -3, 5- pyridinedi carboxylate benzene sulphonate ¹.

It is a long-acting calcium channel blocker, which is used as an antihypertensive agent. The dose is 5-10 mg once a daily orally ².

Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (calcium ion antagonist or slow-channel blocker) that inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, which results in a dilatation of the main coronary and systemic arteries, decreased myocardial contractility, increased blood flow and oxygen delivery to the myocardial tissue, and decreased total peripheral resistance ^{3, 4}.

Losartan potassium chemical name is 2-butyl-4-chloro-1-[[2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl) [1, 1'- biphenyl]-4-yl] methyl]- 1H-imidazole-5 -methanol, mono potassium salt Fig. 2. Losartan is an angiotensin-receptor blocker that may be used alone or with other agents to treat hypertension. It may also be used as an alternative agent for the treatment of systolic dysfunction, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and heart failure ^{2, 5}.

Literature survey reveals the availability of several methods for estimation of both AML ^{6 - 34} and LOS ^{35 - 47} includes UV, HPLC, LC-MS as alone or in combination with other drugs. However, no stability indicating HPTLC method has been reported for the estimation of AML and LOS in the combined dosage form. Present work emphasizes the quantitative estimation of AML and LOS and their degradation products in the combined dosage form by HPTLC. As compared to the other analytical techniques, HPTLC is the most simple and less time-consuming technique. This technique has an advantage that many parameters can be performed at one time, which is not possible with other analytical techniques.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: 

Material: AML and LOS were provided as gift samples by Apotex Pharmaceuticals Pvt.  Ltd., Marketed formulation tablets (Repace-A Mfg. by Sun Pharmaceuticals) with a dose of 5 mg Amlodipine besylate and 25mg Losartan potassium were procured from the local market, Pune. Analytical grade solvents and TLC aluminum plates pre-coated with silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ used for this study were purchased from Merck Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai.

Equipment: Chromatographic separation of the drug was performed by using TLC aluminium plates pre-coated with silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ (10 × 10) with 250 µm thickness. Samples were applied on the plate in the form of bands of width 6 mm using Hamilton microliter syringe (100 µl). Linear ascending development was carried out in 10 × 10 cm twin trough glass chamber (CAMAG) by using as chloroform: methanol: toluene: acetic acid (5.5:2.5:2:0.05 v/v/v/v) mobile phase. The slit dimension was kept at 5 × 0.45 mm. The optimized chamber saturation time for the mobile phase was 30 min. The length of the chromatogram run was 9 cm. After development plates were air-dried and densitometric scanning was performed on a Camag TLC Scanner equipped with winCATS software version 1.4.4.6337 at 237 nm. The source of radiation utilized was a deuterium lamp.

Method Development:

Preparation of the Standard Stock Solution I: An accurately weighed 10 mg of AML, and 10 mg of LOS  were transferred to 10 ml volumetric flasks, and the volume was made up to the mark with methanol, to get standard stock solution of AML A1 (1000 μg/mL) and Losartan L1 (1000 μg/mL) respectively.

Preparation of the Working Standard Solution: 1 ml of standard stock solution of A1 (1000 μg/mL) was diluted with 10 ml methanol to get working standard solution of AML (A2) 100 μg/mL. 5 ml of the standard solution of L1 (1000 μg/mL) was diluted with 10 ml methanol to get 500 μg/mL working standard solution of LOS (L2).

Preparation of Mixed Standard Solution (M): 1 ml solution of AML 1000 μg/mL and 5 ml solution of Losartan potassium 5000 μg/mL were mixed and diluted with 10 ml methanol to get mixed standard solution. This mixed standard solution (M) of containing AML 100 μg/mL and LOS 500 μg/mL respectively was used for stability indicating HPTLC analysis for simultaneous estimation of AML and LOS.

Optimization of Chromatographic Method: The major objective in developing this stability indicating HPTLC method is to achieve the resolution of AML and LOS and its degradation products.

The separation was achieved by linear ascending development in 10 cm × 10 cm twin trough glass chamber using chloroform: methanol: toluene: acetic acid (5.5: 2.5: 2: 0.05 v/v/v/v) as mobile phase and detection was carried out at 237 nm. The retention factors were found to be 0.24 ± 0.02 and 0.73 ± 0.02 for AML and LOS respectively. Representative densitograms of a mixed standard solution of AML and LOS is shown in Fig. 3.

Validation of Analytical Methods: The method was validated as per the ICH guideline ^{48, 49, 50, 51} for linearity, precision, accuracy, the limit of detection (LOD), the limit of quantification (LOQ), robustness and specificity.

Linearity: The Mixed standard solution (M) containing Amlodipine besylate (100 μg/mL) and Losartan potassium 500 μg/mL was applied on TLC plate in a range of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4 µl. The linear regression data for calibration curves (n = 3) showed a good linear relationship over a concentration range of 150-400 ng/spot for AML and 750-2000 ng/spot for LOS. The calibration curves were developed by plotting peak areas vs. concentrations shown in Table 1 and Fig 4 and 5.

The representative densitograms after Neutral induced degradation is shown in Fig. 10.

Preparation of Thermal Induced Degradation Product: 30 mg of Amlodipine besylate and 150 mg of Losartan potassium powder was mixed and put in a petri dish. Petri dish was kept in a hot air oven at 60 ºC. A powdered sample of 30 mg was withdrawn after 30 min, 1h, 2h, 3h, and 4h intervals. Spot of mixed standard solution, M (Amlodipine besylate 500 μg/mL and Losartan potassium 5 μg/mL) and the resultant degraded solution was applied on TLC plate, and the plate was run with the mobile phase. The plate was dried and scanned at 237 nm using Camagwin software version 1.4.4.6337 and densitograms were recorded in Fig. 11.

An accurately weighed quantity of 100 mg of LOS was dissolved in 80 ml methanol. Subsequently, 1.0N HCl was added, and volume was made up to 100 ml in a graduated A-grade volumetric flask. The resulted solution was refluxed in a round bottom flask on a temperature controlled precision water bath at 70 °C for 3.0 h. The acid degradation of the LOS was confirmed by newly developed HPTLC method, where the major degradant formed in alkaline stressed condition was isolated through preparative HPTLC technique. Working standard of LOS and isolated degradant was further subjected to Mass spectral studies. Mass spectral data provided the information regarding the molecular weight of the compound. The peak area was determined, and quantitative estimation of LOS and degradant formed in acid-stressed condition was carried out from the corresponding regression equation.
