Simultaneous Determination of Metformin and Glyburide in Tablets by HPTLC

Simultaneous determination of two antidiabetic drugs, metformin and glyburide, in pharmaceutical tablet formulations were investigated. Normal phase thin layer chromatography plate (silica gel 60 F₂₅₄) was used as stationary phase and water/methanol/ammonium sulfate (2/1/0.5 w/v) as mobile phase to determine two pharmaceutically active ingredients, in three different formulations of Glucovance^®. This system gave a good resolution for metformin (R _f value of 0.43 ± 0.01) and glyburide (R _f value of 0.64 ± 0.02). Determination was by densitometry in the absorbance mode at 237 nm. The linear regression data for the calibration plot showed a good relationship with r = 0.99581 and 0.99982 for metformin and glyburide, respectively. The method was validated for precision and recovery. The limits of detection and quantification were 25.24 and 84.12 ng spot^?1 for metformin and 12.26 and 40.86 ng spot^?1 for glyburide, respectively. Stability study has been carried out for samples and standard solutions.     

LC Determination of Clonidine Hydrochloride in Chinese and Western Combine Compound Hypotensor Tablets of Zhenju Jiangya

A new method has been developed to determine clonidine hydrochloride in Zhenju Jiangya Tablets using ion-pair HPLC coupled with neutral column chromatography in this paper. Clonidine hydrochloride is an active component and occurs in very low amounts.

Simultaneous analysis of metformin and cyanoguanidine by capillary zone electrophoresis and its application in a stability study

A capillary zone electrophoresis method was established for stability study of metformin (MET). MET and cyanoguanidine (CGN; a major degradation product) were well separated (with a resolution of 38.9) in 40 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.7) using a fused‐silica capillary with an effective length of 60 cm and an inner diameter of 50 μm, injection at 50 mbar for 5 s at 30°C with an applied voltage of 15 kV and diode array detection at 214 nm. Method validation showed good linearity (r² > 0.99), precision (%RSDs < 1.98%), and accuracy (%recovery between 98.3 and 100.9%). Limits of detection and quantification were <30 and 100 μg/mL, respectively. The method was robust upon alteration of pH and voltage (%RSDs < 1.99%). Stability profiles of metformin from 11 stress conditions and the degradation kinetics could be established, using the simple capillary zone electrophoresis system. A mechanism for the degradation of MET was also proposed. MET was stable in neutral hydrolysis, but degraded under alkaline hydrolysis and oxidation. Under both conditions, CGN was quantified as the degradation product. An assay of MET in raw material and tablets showed that content of the drugs in all samples met the requirements of pharmacopeias and CGN was not detected.

Simultaneous quantitative determination of amiloride hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide in tablets by high-performance liquid chromatography

Summary A procedure for the simultaneous quantitative determination of amiloride hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide by high-performance liquid chromatography is proposed. A reversed-phase LiChrosorb C8 stationary phase is used. The eluent consisted of an acetonitrile/0.1M phosphate buffer pH3 (15∶85) mixture, containing 50mM propylamine hydrochloride.

Relative standard deviations of 0.87% and 1.6% were obtained for amiloride hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide respectively. Chlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, is a suitable internal standard. Furthermore the method is also specific for other thiazide diuretics, potassium-sparing diuretics and loop diuretics and for the respective hydrolysis productes of both drugs. Analysis time is reduced to a minimum; the chromatographic separation is complete within 6 minutes.
