Abstract

In this study, a sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of seven angiotensin II receptor blockers, namely, hydrochlorothiazide, chlorthalidone, eprosartan mesylate, valsartan, losartan potassium, irbesartan, and candesartan cilexetil. Different chromatographic parameters were tested and fully optimized. Best chromatographic separation was accomplished on a reversed-phase octadecylsilyl column (250×4.6mm id; 5μm) under gradient elution using methanol/sodium phosphate monobasic buffer (0.01M, pH 6.5) as mobile phase. The detection of target analytes was obtained at 254nm. The pH of the buffer has been selected according to Marvin® sketch software. The proposed method was validated according to ICH guidelines and showed good precision (relative standard deviation<1), good linearity (square of correlation coefficient ≥ 0.999), and high accuracy (between 98 and 102%) with detection limit and quantitation limit (40 and 160ng/mL, respectively) for all the detected analytes.
