Abstract
A simple, rapid, and precise method is developed for the quantitative simultaneous estimation of telmisartan and ramipril in combined pharmaceutical dosage form. A chromatographic separation of the two drugs was achieved with an ACE 5 C18, 25-cm analytical column using buffer–acetonitrile (55:45 v/v). The buffer used in mobile phase contains 0.1 M sodium perchlorate monohydrate in double distilled water pH adjusted 3.0 with trifluoroacetic acid. The instrumental settings are flow rate of 1.5 mL min−1, column temperature at 30 °C, and detector wavelength of 215 nm using a photodiode array detector. The resolution between ramipril and telmisartan were found to be more than 5. Theoretical plates for ramipril and telmisartan were 13,022 and 6,629. Tailing factor for ramipril and telmisartan was 0.94 and 0.98. Telmisartan, ramipril and their combination drug product were exposed to thermal, photolytic, hydrolytic and oxidative stress conditions, and the stressed samples were analysed by the proposed method. Peak homogeneity data of telmisartan and ramipril is obtained using photodiode array detector, in the stressed sample chromatograms, demonstrated the specificity of the method for their estimation in presence of degradants. The described method shows excellent linearity over a range of 20–400 μg mL−1 for telmisartan and 2.5–50 μg mL−1 for ramipril. The correlation coefficient for telmisartan and ramipril are 1. The relative standard deviation for six measurements in two sets of each drug in tablets was always less than 2%. The proposed method was found to be suitable and accurate for quantitative determination and the stability study of telmisartan and ramipril in pharmaceutical preparations.
