21. Preparation of reagents and standards:
Preparation of phosphate buffer pH 3.3
Phosphate buffer with 10 mM was prepared by dissolving 6.056 g KH2PO4 in
445 mL of HPLC grade water. To this said solution 55 mL of 0.1M H3PO4 was added to
adjust the pH 3.3.
Preparation of mobile phase:
The above stated prepared phosphate buffer (pH 3.3) acetonitrile were mixed
completely in the proportion of 50: 50 v/v and was filtered through 0.45 µm nylon
membrane filter and degassed by sonication.
Preparation of standard stock solution:
Stock standard solutions containing (1.25, 0.4, 0.5, 0.4, 0.8 mg/mL) of
Hydrochlorothiazide, Telmisartan, Losartan, Olmesartan and Valsartan respectively
were prepared by dissolving (12.5, 40, 50, 40, 80 mg) of each in methanol in 100 mL
volumetric flask respectively. It was then sonicated for 15 minutes and the final
volume of solutions was made up to 100 mL with methanol to get stock standard
solutions. Vignan Pharmacy College,Vadlamudi. 21
22. Preparation of sample solution:
A composite of ten Telmisat-H, Zargo-H, Olmecip-H and Valent-H
tablets are prepared by grinding them to a fine, uniform size powder,
triturated using mortar and pestle. After calculating the average tablet
weight, amounts of powder equivalent to HCTZ, TELM, LOSA, OLME
and VALS respectively are prepared by dissolving (12.5, 40, 50, 40, 80
mg) respectively of each type of tablets were accurately weighed and
transferred separately to 100 mL volumetric flasks respectively.
Solutions were sonicated for 15 min and the solutions were then filtered
through 0.45 µm nylon membrane filters. Aliquots of appropriate volume
(10 mL) were transferred to 100 mL calibrated flasks and diluted to
volume with mobile phase to furnish the mentioned concentration above.

23. RESULTS:
Method Development:
Selection of a common detection wavelength:
The ultra violet spectrum of four Sartans and hydrochlorothiazide were
scanned individually in the region between 200 - 400 nm. The UV
overlain spectra of these five drugs showed that they absorbed at 238 nm.
So this wavelength was selected for the determination of sartans.
Figure 1 shows UV overlain spectra of four sartans with HCTZ.
Vignan Pharmacy College,Vadlamudi. 23
25. Method optimization:
Numerous trials were performed to obtain the better separations.
From all trials, eventually better reproducibility of the results and good
resolution, good peak shape, short runtime, minimal peak tailing were well
identified when mobile phase consisting of phosphate buffer mixture
properly adjusted to pH 3.3, acetonitrile in the proportion of 50:50 v/v with
satisfactory results.

least five concentrations are to be used. In this study five
Concentrations were chosen, in the ranges of 2.5-12.5, 8-40, 10-50,
8-40, 16-80 µg/mL. Calibration curve is constructed by plotting
concentration on X-axis and the peak areas on Y-axis.
The least square analysis method was adopted for achieving slope,
intercept and correlation coefficient, regression data values.

39. Precision:
The repeatability and intermediate precision experiments were conducted
by determining the intra - day and inter - day precision of the method for
HCTZ with TELM, HCTZ with LOSA, HCTZ with OLME and HCTZ with
VALS.
The intraday precision was done by repeating the assay thrice for the 3
levels in the same day, under the same experimental conditions
Inter - day precision was done by taking over the assay on 3 different days,
three times on the each day for the 3 concentration levels respectively.
The results of precision study were stated in terms of % RSD which was
calculated and results were within the acceptable criteria of NMT 2.0. The
results of precision study are presented in table 8.

Accuracy/Recovery studies:
The accuracy of the method was assessed by standard addition method.
Recovery tests were carried out by analyzing mixtures of HCTZ
with TELM, HCTZ with LOSA, HCTZ with OLME and HCTZ with
VALS with different compositions.
Known amounts of standards drugs were added to a pre-analyzed sample
at 3 different levels 80 %, 100 % and 120 % and the mixed standard
solutions were analyzed in triplicate at every level as per suggested
method.
The percent of individual combination of mixtures recovery and % RSD
results of accuracy data is shown in table 8.
41. Robustness:
The robustness of developed analytical method was proven by the analysis of HCTZ
with TELM, HCTZ with LOSA, HCTZ with OLME and HCTZ with VALS under
different experimental conditions such as making deliberate changes in
chromatographic conditions like flow rate (± 0.2 ml/min), detection wavelength (±5 nm)
and mobile phase composition (±5 %). All results were well within acceptable limits.
LOD and LOQ:
Limit of Detection is the lowest concentration in a sample that can be detected, but
not necessarily quantified under the stated experimental conditions.
Limit of quantification is the lowest concentration of analyte in a sample that can be
determined with acceptable precision and accuracy.
LOD and LOQ were calculated using following formula LOD = 3.3σ/S and
LOQ = 10σ/S, where SD = standard deviation of response (peak area) and S = slope of
the calibration curve. The LOD and LOQ results are shown in the following table.

44. CONCLUSION:
• Statistical analysis lucidly proves that it is feasible for analysis of said ARB’s in their
formulations in single run without changing the mobile phase composition and
chromatographic conditions.
• This method was very fast, cost effective, precise, accurate sensitive, highly efficient and
robust than the existing adopted methods. It is noticed that the method is free from
interferences of the excipients and additives utilized in the preparation of above stated ARB’s
after validation.
• This new RP-HPLC method satisfactorily separated all the above said combination drugs
with short retention time (eight minutes and elution window of only two minutes), optimum
peak shape, good separation and best reproducible results. Hence, it is apt to conclude that it
is successfully feasible for the application of routine analysis of said ARB’s agents
individually or binary combinations of HCTZ with TELM, HCTZ with LOSA, HCTZ with
OLME and HCTZ with VALS in quality control laboratories for usual analysis.
