Abstract
A simple, accurate, rapid and sensitive reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was established for determination of a novel non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant drug, betrixaban, and its co-administered calcium-channel blocker drug, lercanidipine, in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids. The proposed HPLC method was the first chromatographic method applied to estimate this mixture in a short chromatographic run (<6min), high resolution between betrixaban/lercanidipine (Rs = 7.12) and acceptable values of limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ) and percentage of relative standard deviation (%RSD). The chromatographic separation was performed on a cyano column using a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile:methanol:water (35:35:30, v/v/v) containing 0.2% orthophosphoric acid adjusted to pH3.2 by triethylamine, programmed with a flow rate of 1mL/min with UV detection at 240nm. The proposed method showed linearity over the concentration ranges of (0.20-20.0μg/mL) and (0.25-25.0μg/mL) for betrixaban and lercanidipine, respectively. All validation parameters met the acceptance criteria according to ICH guidelines in terms of linearity, LOD, LOQ, accuracy, precision, robustness, specificity and system suitability. The method was applied to assay the studied analytes in their pharmaceutical formulations with high % recovery (98-102%) and low %RSD (<1.5). Furthermore, the proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of betrixaban in spiked human plasma.
