ABSTRACT

A simple, sensitive and specific reverse phase high performance liquid

chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated for

the quantification of related impurities of S(-) Amlodipine (AML) and

Telmisartan (TEL) in fixed dose combination tablet dosage form. The

chromatographic separation employs gradient elution using a Poroshell

120, EC-C18 (4.6 mm X 150mm, 2.7µm) column. Mobile phase

consisting of solvent A (solution containing pH 4.0 ammonium acetate

buffer and 0.05%v/v formic acid in Acetonitrile in the ratio of

80:20v/v) and solvent B (solution containing pH 4.0 ammonium

acetate buffer and 0.05%v/v formic acid in Acetonitrile in the ratio of

20:80v/v) delivered at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1

. The analytes were

detected and quantified at 254 nm using UV detector. The method was

validated as per ICH guidelines, demonstrating to be accurate and

precise within the corresponding linear range of known impurities of S

(-) Amlodipine and Telmisartan. This method can be used for the

estimation of related substances of S (-) Amlodipine and Telmisartan

in fixed dose combination tablet dosage form.

1. INTRODUCTION:

Amlodipine is a calcium channel antagonist belonging to the dihydropyridine class1. Amlodipine is

widely used for the treatment of hypertension as well as stable and variant angina and known to be

life saving drug 2.

Amlodipine is therapeutically used as racemic mixture similar to the other calcium channel blocking

agents of dihydropyridine type3. The S (-) isomer of amlodipine is found to possess greater

pharmacological effects than R (+) amlodipine. S (-) amlodipine is 1000 times more potent than the

R (+) isomer in binding to the dihydropyridine receptor. S (-) amlodipine lowers peripheral vascular

resistance without causing a reflex tachycardia. It is effective as a once daily dosage in the control of

hypertension4-6

. The efficacy and tolerability of 2.5 mg of S (-) Amlodipine Besylate is almost

similar with that of 5 mg of amlodipine besylate in the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension.

Telmisartan is a highly selective angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist, widely used in the

treatment of hypertension and heart failure. It can selectively block the angiotensin type 1 receptor

without affecting other receptor systems involved in cardiovascular regulation7.

Compound A

A combination of antihypertensive agents can better control blood pressure and reduce the number

and severity of side effects than a monotherapy. Both angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers and

calcium channel blockers were shown to be efficacious in reducing cardiovascular risk. Telmisartan

and amlodipine fixed dose combinations have been demonstrated in numerous clinical trials to be

highly effective in lowering blood pressure and suggest that the combined use might be more

effective in treating hypertension than a monotherapy.

As per the literature, several RP-HPLC methods are reported for the determination of Amlodipine

Besylate and Telmisartan8-9

. Methods for determination of impurities of Telmisartan and Amlodipine

individually or with other drugs in pharmaceutical formulations are also available10-11

. To date, no

RP-HPLC method has been reported for the simultaneous determination of related substances of

S(-)Amlodipine and Telmisartan in fixed dose combination tablet dosage form.

2. Materials and methods

2.1. Chemicals and reagents

S(-)Amlodipine Besylate active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and Amlodipine Related

Compound A are in-house products of Emcure Pharmaceutical Limited (Pune, India), and

Telmisartan API was obtained from Glenmark Generics Limited (Mohol, India). S(-) Amlodipine

and Telmisartan tablets (each tablet containing 5 mg of S(-)Amlodipine and 40 mg of Telmisartan)

and the tablet excipients blend (Placebo) were developed by Emcure Pharmaceutical Limited (Pune,

India).

The working standard of S(-)Amlodipine Besylate and Amlodipine Related Compound A (AML-A)

used were in-house product of Emcure Pharmaceutical Limited (Pune, India). Telmisartan USP

reference standard was purchased from United State Pharmacopoeia (USP).

HPLC-grade acetonitrile was purchased from Avantor (USA). Ammonium Acetate and Formic acid

were obtained from Merck (Mumbai, India). Ortho-phosphoric acid was obtained from Rankem

(Ankleshwar, India). Water was prepared by Milli Q water purification system. All the other used

reagents were of analytical grade.

2.2. HPLC instruments and analytical conditions:

Chromatographic separation was achieved by using a Shimadzu model LC-2010C HT liquid

chromatographic system (Tokyo, Japan), equipped with a 20AT pump and a PDA detector (SPD-

M20A). The system was controlled by Empower software (Waters, USA).

The chromatographic column utilized in these studies was Poroshell 120, EC-C18 (4.6 mm X

150mm, 2.7µm). The column temperature was maintained at 45 °C.

The mobile phase A consisted of pH 4.0 ammonium acetate buffer (containing about 2.5 g of

ammonium acetate per liter of water, adjusted to pH 4.0 with orthophosphoric acid) and 0.05% v/v

formic acid (0.5 mL of formic acid per liter of acetonitrile) in the ratio of 80:20(v/v).

Mobile phase B consisted of pH 4.0 ammonium acetate buffer and 0.05% v/v formic acid (0.5 mL

of formic acid per liter of Acetonitrile) the ratio of 20:80(v/v). Sample cooler temperature was

maintained at 15°C.

The gradient program used is given in Table 1. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the injection

volume was 10 µL.

The spectra were obtained from the PDA detector. Peak purity analysis was carried out over a

wavelength range of 200–400 nm by using the Empower software. As all the components as well as

impurities shown optimum response at 254 nm it is selected as wave length for analysis.

2.3. Solution and Sample Preparations:

Diluent was prepared by diluting 5 mL of 4g/Liter solution of sodium hydroxide (in water) to 1000

mL with Methanol.

For the system suitability test, the solution containing 2.5 µg/mL of S(-)Amlodipine , 4.0 µg/mL of

Telmisartan and 3.75µg/mL of Amlodipine related compound A was prepared in diluent. For the

linearity studies, a standard stock solution containing 250 µg/mL of S(-)Amlodipine , 400 µg/mL of

Telmisartan and 125µg/mL of Amlodipine related compound A was prepared in diluent and diluted

with the same solvent to yield solutions at different concentrations.

For the sample preparation, transferred 5 tablets (equivalent to 200 mg of Telmisartan and 25 mg of

S(-)Amlodipine) into a 100 mL volumetric flask. Added about 20 ml of water and sonicate till

complete dispersion of tablets. Added 50 mL of diluent and sonicated for about 30 minutes with 2-3

minutes of intermittent shaking after every 5 minutes. Volume was made up to the mark and mixed

well. Filtered the solution through 0.45 µ nylon membrane syringe filter by discarding initial 2 mL

of filtrate (S(-)Amlodipine -250µg/mL and Telmisartan 2000µg/mL).

For accuracy samples were spiked with Amlodipine Related compound A at four different

concentration levels i.e. at 0.50 µg/mL (LOQ), 1.90 µg/mL (50% of specification level), 3.80µg/mL

(100% of specification level) and 5.70µg/mL (150% of specification level). Amlodipine Related

compound A standard stock solution having concentration 125 µg/mL was used for spiking purpose.

Tablet samples, API and excipient blend were subjected to stress conditions of light, acid, base, and

oxidation in order to evaluate the ability of the proposed method to separate S(-) Amlodipine and

Telmisartan from both known and unknown degradation products. In the stress studies, all the

solutions were prepared by weighing 5 tablets (containing about 25 mg S(-) Amlodipine and 200 mg

Telmisartan) into 100 mL volumetric flasks, 50 mL of diluent was added to this and sonicated the

samples for about 30 minutes and resultant samples were subjected to the stress conditions. Acid

degradation was conducted using 10 mL of 5.0 M hydrochloric acid and refluxed at 80°c for 2 hours

and 30 minutes, and alkali degradation was carried out using 2 mL of 1.0 M sodium hydroxide

solution and kept for 2 hours at room temperature. The stressed solutions were neutralized and then

diluted by diluent. Oxidation degradation was performed by adding 2 mL of 3% H2O2, kept for 2

hours at room temperature and then diluted with diluent. For the photolytic stress study, tablets, API

and Excipient blend were exposed to light at 1.2 million lux hours and at 200 watt hrs. / m2 in a light

cabinet.

3. Results and discussion:

3.1. Method development:

A reverse phase HPLC method was proposed as a suitable method for the simultaneous

determination of related substances of S(-)Amlodipine and Telmisartan in fixed dose combination

tablet dosage form. The chromatographic conditions were optimized by changing the mobile phase

composition, pH, columns with different chemistry and buffers used in the mobile phase. To

optimize the mobile phase different trials were experimented at different ratios of mobile phase A

and mobile phase B. Based on the results from development activity a suitable, easy, less time

consuming method was developed and validated12-14

.

3.2. Method Validation:

3.2.1. Selectivity:

Selectivity of the method was determined by injecting diluent blank preparation, excipient blend

preparation (placebo), identification solution for besylate, system suitability solution, Amlodipine

related compound A solution, sample preparation and sample preparation spiked with known

impurity (Amlodipine Related Compound A). Sample was subjected to various stress conditions,

with different levels of acidic hydrolysis, alkaline hydrolysis, Photolytic and oxidation conditions.

Chromatography was performed for stressed sample solutions and The peak purities demonstrated

for S (-) Amlodipine, Telmisartan and known impurity by a Photo diode array (PDA) detector.

The peaks due to S(-)Amlodipine, Telmisartan and known impurity (Amlodipine related compound

A) were well resolved from each other and any individual peak due to diluent blank preparation and

excipient blend preparation. The peak purities of the peak due to S (-) Amlodipine, Telmisartan and

Amlodipine Related Compound A were within acceptance criteria (Purity angle was less than purity

threshold). Results for peak purity data are given in Table 2-5.

5. Conclusion:

The proposed HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of related substances of S(-)

Amlodipine and Telmisartan in fixed dose combination tablet dosage form was analyzed in as per

ICH guidelines. The method was found to be specific for the estimation of known, unknown

impurities and degradation products. The method was also stability indicating as evident from results

obtained when method applied to stability samples. The method is found to be linear in the specified

range, precise and robust. Accuracy of the method was also established for the formulation. Hence,

the proposed method stands validated and may be used for routine and stability sample analysis.
