Abstract
A simple, sensitive, specific, spectrophotometric method was developed for the détection of Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations. The optimum conditions for the analysis of the drug were established. OLM was subjected to stress degradation under different conditions recommended by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). The samples so generated were used for degradation studies using the developed method. The λmax of the OLM was found to be 257nm. The method exhibited high sensitivity, with linearity, in the 2 to 20μg/ml range. The lower limit of detection and the limit of quantification were found to be 1.012μg/ml and 3.036μg/ ml, respectively. All the calibration curves demonstrated a linear relationship between the absorbance and concentration, with the correlation coefficient higher than 0.99. The regression equation of the curve was Y=0.0579x+0.0006. The precision of the method was found to be 40.043±0.067 against the label claim of 40mg. The percentage recovery was found to be 101.32±0.452. The sample solution was stable for up to two hours. Hence, it could be concluded that the proposed method would be suitable for the analysis of OLM in bulk and pharmaceutical formulations.
