ABSTRACT
The present study deals with a rapid, simple, accurate, and rugged UV spectrophotometric methods have been
developed for the estimation of some water insoluble calcium channel blockers using hydrotropic solubilization phenomenon in pure and as well as in dosage forms. The calibration graphs were linear in the 5–40 µg/ml concentration range (r>0.997) for Amlodipine. All the methods were validated as per USP guidelines. The detection was made on 350- 200 nm in methanol and 0.1M sodium Benzoate observed maximum absorption at 237nm. Hence this method is simple, rapid, and accurate and can be successfully applied for routine analysis. Keywords: Spectrometric analysis; Amlodipine; Method validation; Hydrotrophy
INTRODUCTION:
Amlodipine (a dihydropyridine) is a calcium- The decrease in intracellular calcium inhibits the channel blocker. It is given as besylate and used in the contractile processes of the myocardial smooth muscle management of hypertension and angina pectoris. It is cells, causing dilation of the coronary and systemic chemically 3-ethyl-5-methyl-2-(2aminoethoxymethyl)- arteries, increased oxygen delivery to the myocardial 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl pyridine-3,5- tissue, decreased total peripheral resistance, decreased dicarboxylate mono benzene sulphonate1. It is official systemic blood pressure, and decreased after load. in BP2.Various methods have been employed to Another possible mechanism is that amlodipine enhance the aqueous solubility and hydrotrophy is one inhibits vascular smooth muscle carbonic anhydrase I of them. Maheshwari et al. have developed various activity with consecutive pH increase which may be involved in intracellular calcium influx through solubilization phenomenon to analyze poorly water- soluble drugs like hydrochlorothiazide3, aceclofenac4 Objective
Hydrotropic solution may be a proper choice To develop an accurate, selective precise and to preclude the use of organic solvents because organic specific method for estimation of water insoluble solvent having a problems related like toxicity, cost calcium channel blockers in bulk and as well as in etc. Several analytical methods that have been reported dosage form. There is a broad scope for hydrotropic
for the estimation of amlodipine besylate in biological agent in quantitative estimation of poorly water soluble fluids and/or pharmaceutical formulations include UV drugs. The present work is an attempt to study and spectrophotometric6-10, and high-performance liquid develop spectroscopic methods employing hydrotropic chromatographic estimation (HPLC)11, 12. Amlodipine solubilization phenomenon for quantitative estimation is a calcium channel blocking agent. It inhibits the and validation of the method according to ICH influx of extracellular calcium across the myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cell membranes. ____________________________________________ Estimation of Amlodipine in dosage form using
