Abstract
This study introduces the first and unique Molecular-mass-Related Fluorescence Sensor as the first fluorimetric strategy for determining amlodipine. An environmentally friendly, single-step, and direct spectrofluorimetric approach was utilized to evaluate the analyte. In an acidic setting, combining the amlodipine medication and the fluorescent dye Cilefa Pink B generated an instantaneous ultra-fluorescent product. An increase in dye response after adding amlodipine was proportional to the molecular weight of the generated complex, as measured at 329 nm. was the idea ofthe applied fluorimetric analysis. The complexing process increased the molecular mass from 879.86 to 1288.739 g mol-1. The medication's range of 0.050-1.00 µg mL-1 is directly correlated with this molecular massenlargement. The ideal settings for the changeable parameters of the system were established through an analysis of the response of the amlodipine-Cilefa Pink B system. Furthermore, the developed sensor complied with ICH (International Council for Harmonization) standards. The sensitivity limits were 0.0139 µg mL-1 (for the detection limit, LOD) and 0.042 µg mL-1 (for the quantification limit, LOQ). Additionally, this method effectively recovered the drug in its original and therapeutic dosage forms. Finally, the proposed process's environmental impact was also assessed through different modern greenness evaluation tools.

Abstract
Background:
Current guidelines for the treatment of hypertension recommend combination
therapy, which intends to control blood pressure and enhance cardiovascular protection.
Materials and Methods:
A sensitive, reliable and selective tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
method has been developed for simultaneous quantification of amlodipine (AML), valsartan (VAL)
and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in human plasma. The chromatographic system was equipped with
ACE 5 C8 (50 X 2.1 mm) column and utilized a mobile phase composition of 0.5 mM Ammonium
Chloride & 0.04% FA-Methanol (45:55% v/v). The method used three internal standards; AML-D4,
HCTZ-D2 C13 and VAL-D3 with 10% intra- and inter-day precision, and 6% bias for all the analytes.
Results:
The assay was found to be linear with R-2 > 0.998, and the limits of quantification for AML,
VAL and HCTZ were 0.2, 50.0 and 2.0 ng/mL, respectively. The analytes were found to be stable in
plasma samples over short and long term storage.
:
The developed method is rapid with a run time of 3.5 min and cost-effective since the simple sample
preparation method is adopted. This method was successfully applied for the bioequivalence study of
AML, VAL, and HCTZ in human plasma after administration of the fixed-dose combination tablet of
(10/160/25 mg). Pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax and AUC0-72) for AML and (Cmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞)
for VAL and HCTZ were used for bioequivalence assessment. These were determined by noncompartmental
analysis of concentration data.
Conclusion:
The result showed 90% confidence intervals (obtained by ANOVA) which were within
the predefined ranges. As a consequence, this method can be successfully applied for measuring and
quantifying a large number of samples.

Abstract
Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure is elevated to an extent where benefit is obtained from blood pressure lowering. The risk of complications is proportional to the level that blood pressure raises. Calcium channel blockers are a class of compounds used in the treatment of hypertension. The dihydropyridine (DHP) group, a subclass of the calcium channel blocker works almost exclusively on L-type calcium channels in the peripheral arterioles and reduce blood pressure by reducing total peripheral resistant. Long acting DHP is preferred because they are more convenient for patients and avoid the large fluctuations in plasma drug concentration which are associated with side effects. Amlodipine is the most distinct DHP and the most popular. The drug was patented in the year 1986 and its commercial sale began by 1990. The current article provides a state of art about the analytical and bioanalytical techniques available for the quantification of drug as a single entity and in combined pharmaceutical formulations between 1989 and 2019.

[PMID: 29860181 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2018.05.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2018] [Revised: 05/16/2018] [Accepted: 05/21/2018] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
A rapid and sensitive method was established to determine amlodipine enantiomers using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Stereoselective separation was performed on CHIRALCEL OZ-RH column (150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 μm) with acetonitrile-water (10 mM ammonium acetate, 0.5% ammonia solution) (95:5, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The substances were detected by mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source interface in positive ion mode. Multiple reaction monitoring was selected with the transition of the m/z 409.1 → 238.0 for amlodipine enantiomers and m/z 237.0 → 194.1 for carbamazepine (IS) respectively. Calibration curves were linear at the range of 0.9375-120 ng/mL for both isomers with r > 0.99, while using a lower sample volume (50 μL) compared with previously reported enantiospecific methods The accuracy was at the range of 84.1-119.0% for R-amlodipine, and 87.4-118.2% for S-amlodipine, respectively. The within- and between-run precision (CV%) was within 10% in all cases for both enantiomers. Enantiomers were stable under different conditions, e.g. processed sample, short-term, residue, long-term and freeze/thaw. The LC-MS/MS method was successfully applied in pharmacokinetic study of amlodipine enantiomers in rats. It was observed the concentration of the S- amlodipine was significantly higher than that of the R-amlodipine in racemate-treated group. And there was no significant difference in the pharmacokinetic profiles of the S-amlodipine between the 10 mg/kg racemate- and 5 mg/kg S-amlodipine-treated groups. In addition, it was the first time to find that the main pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC(0-t), AUC(0-∞) and Cmax) of R-amlodipine were significantly lower in the 5 mg/kg R-amlodipine-treated group compared with the racemate-treated group.

Abstract
A novel analytical method was developed to determine 5 antihypertensive drugs of different pharmacological classes (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, α-2 adrenergic receptor agonists, angiotensin II receptor blockers, and aldosterone receptor antagonists) and some of their metabolites in human serum. The untreated samples were directly analyzed in a column switching system using an extraction column packed with restricted access carbon nanotubes (RACNTs) in an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (UHPLC-MS/MS). The RACNTs column was able to exclude approximately 100% of proteins from the samples in 2.0min, maintaining the same performance for about 300 analytical cycles. The method was validated in accordance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines, being linear for all the determined analytes in their respective analytical ranges (coefficients of determination higher than 0.99) with limits of detection (LODs) and quantification (LOQs) ranging from 0.09 to 10.85μgL-1 and from 0.30 to 36.17μgL-1, respectively. High recovery values (88-112%) were obtained as well as suitable results for inter and intra-assay accuracy and precision. The method provided an analytical frequency of 5 samples per hour, including the sample preparation and separation/detection steps. The validated method was successfully used to analyze human serum samples of patients undergoing treatment with antihypertensive drugs, being useful for pharmacometabolomic, pharmacogenomic, and pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
A simple, specific, accurate and stability indicating reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of atorvastatin calcium and amlodipine besylate in tablet dosage forms. A phenomenex Gemini C-18, 5 μm column having 250×4.6 mm i.d. in isocratic mode, with mobile phase containing 0.02 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate:acetonitrile:methanol (30:10:60, v/v/v) adjusted to pH 4 using ortho phosphoric acid was used. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min and effluents were monitored at 240 nm. The retention times of atorvastatin calcium and amlodipine besylate were 11.6 min and 4.5 min, respectively. The calibration curves were linear in the concentration range of 0.08-20 μg/ml for atorvastatin calcium and 0.1-20 μg/ml for amlodipine besylate. Atorvastatin calcium and amlodipine besylate stock solutions were subjected to acid and alkali hydrolysis, chemical oxidation and dry heat degradation. The degraded product peaks were well resolved from the pure drug peak with significant difference in their retention time values. The proposed method was validated and successfully applied to the estimation of atorvastatin calcium and amlodipine besylate in combined tablet dosage forms.

Abstract
Amlodipine is a racemic mixture composed of S- and R-form and metabolized stereoselectively. Cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) including CYP3A5 are involved in the metabolism of amlodipine and it was reported that polymorphic CYP3A5 genotype modulates the plasma levels of amlodipine and thus affect its pharmacokinetics. This study was conducted to find whether stereoselective pharmacokinetics of amlodipine was affected by the polymorphic CYP3A5 genotype. Seventeen healthy subjects were genotyped for CYP3A5*3 variant. After a single dose of 10-mg amlodipine, enantiomers of amlodipine were analyzed using HPLC-MS/MS equipped with an AGP column. Amlodipine showed stereoselective pharmacokinetics. S-amlodipine exhibited higher plasma levels than R-amlodipine in both genotype groups. S-amlodipine showed 15% higher mean peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) in CYP3A5*1/*3 carriers (3.28 ng/ml) than CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers (2.85 ng/ml) (P = 0.194) and R-amlodipine also showed 21% higher Cmax in CYP3A5*1/*3 carriers (3.33 ng/ml) than CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers (2.75 ng/ml) (P = 0.114). CYP3A5*1/*3 carriers also have 23 and 12% higher mean area under the time versus concentration curve of R-amlodipine and S-amlodipine than CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers, respectively (for R-amlodipine, 147.1 ng*h/ml for CYP3A5*1/*3 carriers versus 121.8 ng*h/ml for CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers, P = 0.234; for S-amlodipine, 161.6 ng*h/ml for CYP3A5*1/*3 carriers vs. 144.2 ng*h/ml for CYP3A5*3/*3 carriers, P = 0.353). Other pharmacokinetic parameters also showed no significant difference between them. In conclusion, the present study showed that despite the evidence that amlodipine is stereoselectively metabolized, CYP3A5*3 genotype did not affect stereoselective disposition of amlodipine. It provides the evidence that CYP3A5*3genotype plays a minor role in the interindividual variability of stereoselective disposition of amlodipine in humans.

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2007; 852:389-97. [PMID: 17350354 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2007.01.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2006] [Revised: 01/10/2007] [Accepted: 01/29/2007] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
A sensitive and simple method was developed for determination of the enantiomers of azelnidipine, (R)-(-)-azelnidipine and (S)-(+)-azelnidipine, in human plasma using chiral liquid chromatography with positive ion atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma samples spiked with stable isotope-labeled azelnidipine, [(2)H(6)]-azelnidipine, as an internal standard, were processed for analysis using a solid-phase extraction in a 96-well plate format. The azelnidipine enantiomers were separated on a chiral column containing alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein as a chiral selector under isocratic mobile phase conditions. Acquisition of mass spectrometric data was performed in multiple reaction monitoring mode, monitoring the transitions from m/z 583-->167 for (R)-(-)-azelnidipine and (S)-(+)-azelnidipine, and from m/z 589-->167 for [(2)H(6)]-azelnidipine. The standard curve was linear over the studied range (0.05-20 ng/mL), with r(2)>0.997 using weighted (1/x(2)) quadratic regression, and the chromatographic run time was 5.0 min/injection. The intra- and inter-assay precision (coefficient of variation), calculated from the assay data of the quality control samples, was 1.2-8.2% and 2.4-5.8% for (R)-(-)-azelnidipine and (S)-(+)-azelnidipine, respectively. The accuracy was 101.2-117.0% for (R)-(-)-azelnidipine and 100.0-107.0% for (S)-(+)-azelnidipine. The overall recoveries for (R)-(-)-azelnidipine and (S)-(+)-azelnidipine were 71.4-79.7% and 71.7-84.2%, respectively. The lower limit of quantification for both enantiomers was 0.05 ng/mL using 1.0 mL of plasma. All the analytes showed acceptable short-term, long-term, auto-sampler and stock solution stability. Furthermore, the method described above was used to separately measure the concentrations of the azelnidipine enantiomers in plasma samples collected from healthy subjects who had received a single oral dose of 16 mg of azelnidipine.

Abstract
A novel, specific and sensitive ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination and pharmacokinetic study of amlodipine in human plasma. The analysis was carried out on an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C(18) column (50 mm x 2.1 mm, i.d., 1.7 microm) with gradient elution at a flow-rate of 0.35 ml/min. The mobile phase was water and acetonitrile under gradient conditions (both containing 0.3% formic acid) and nimodipine was used as the internal standard. Detection was performed on a triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode via Turbo ion spray ionization (ESI). Linear calibration curves were obtained over the concentration range 0.15-16.0 ng/ml, with a lower limit of quantification of 0.15 ng/ml. The intra- and inter-day precision (R.S.D.) values were below 15% and the accuracy (R.E.) was -2.3% to 6.9% at all three QC levels. The method was used to support clinical pharmacokinetic studies of amlodipine in healthy volunteers following oral administration.

Abstract
A simple, rapid, precise and accurate isocratic reversed-phase stability-indicating HPLC method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of atorvastatin (AT) and amlodipine (AM) in commercial tablets. The method has shown adequate separation for AM, AT from their associated main impurities and their degradation products. Separation was achieved on a Perfectsil Target ODS-3, 5 microm, 250 mm x 4.6 mm i.d. column using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-0.025 M NaH(2)PO(4) buffer (pH 4.5) (55:45, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 ml/min and UV detection at 237 nm. The drugs were subjected to oxidation, hydrolysis, photolysis and heat to apply stress conditions. The linearity of the proposed method was investigated in the range of 2-30 microg/ml (r=0.9994) for AT and 1-20 microg/ml (r=0.9993) for AM. The limits of detection were 0.65 microg/ml and 0.35 microg/ml for AT and AM, respectively. The limits of quantitation were 2 microg/ml and 1 microg/ml for AT and AM, respectively. Degradation products produced as a result of stress studies did not interfere with the detection of AT and AM and the assay can thus be considered stability-indicating.

Abstract
A fast, sensitive and specific high performance liquid chromatographic method using fluorescence detection is described for analysis of amlodipine in human serum. Amlodipine is extracted from serum by ethyl acetate and involves precolumn derivatization with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl) and reverse-phase chromatography on C18 column. The mobile phase was sodium phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) containing 1 ml/l triethylamine and methanol at flow rate of 2.8 ml/min. Propranolol was used as internal standard. The standard curve was linear over the range 0.25-16 ng/ml of amlodipine in human serum. The within-day and between-day precision studies showed good reproducibility with coefficients of variation less than 12% for all the analytes. The limit of quantification was 0.25 ng/ml of serum. The method has been applied to a bioequivalence study after administration of 10 mg amlodipine in 12 normal subjects.

Abstract
All dihydropyridines, except nifedipine, have at least one chiral center, and their pharmacokinetics and clinical effects differ from one enantiomer to another. Chiral separation methods for dihydropyridines using chromatographic techniques are discussed. The stereoselective pharmacokinetics of dihydropyridine calcium antagonists were reviewed in detail in 1995. The present review article updates the methods for the stereoselective determination of dihydropyridines using chromatographic techniques and summarizes the pharmacokinetics of the dihydropyridines, including the newest drugs under development.

Abstract
A sensitive method for the separation and determination of amlodipine enantiomers in plasma has been developed based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) with disposable extraction cartridges (DECs) in combination with chiral liquid chromatography (LC). The SPE technique is used to isolate the drug from the biological matrix and to prepare a cleaner sample before injection and analysis by HPLC coupled to mass spectrometry. The DEC is filled with ethyl silica (50 mg) and is first conditioned with a 2.5% ammonia in methanol solution and then with ammonium acetate buffer. A 1.0-ml volume of plasma is then applied on the DEC. The washing step is first performed with ammonium acetate buffer and secondly with a mixture of water and methanol (65:35, v/v), while the final elution step is obtained by dispensing methanol containing 2.5% of ammonia. The eluate is then collected and evaporated to dryness before being dissolved in the LC mobile phase and injected into the LC system. The stereoselective analysis of amlodipine is achieved on a Chiral AGP column containing alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein as chiral selector by using a mobile phase consisting of a 10-mM acetate buffer (pH 4.5) and 1-propanol (99:1, v/v). The LC system is coupled to tandem mass spectrometry with an APCI interface in the positive-ion mode. The chromatographed analytes are detected in the selected reaction monitoring mode (SRM). The MS/MS ion transitions monitored are 409 to 238 for amlodipine, and 260 to 116 for S-(-)-propranolol used as internal standard (IS). The method was validated considering different parameters, such as linearity, precision and accuracy. The limit of quantitation was found to be 0.1 ng/ml for each amlodipine enantiomer.

Abstract
The development of a new HPLC-UV diode array procedure applied to follow the hydrolytic degradation of two well-known 4-nitrophenyl-1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives, nitrendipine and nisoldipine is reported. Hydrolysis of each drug were carried out in ethanol/Britton-Robinson buffer at different pHs, stored into amber vials at controlled temperatures of 40, 60 and 80 degrees C and periodically sampled and assayed by HPLC. Nitrendipine degradation in different parenteral solutions was also evaluated. The HPLC procedure exhibited an adequate selectivity, repeatability (<1%) and reproducibility (<2%). The recoveries were higher than 98% with CV of 1.13 and 1.54% for nitrendipine and nisoldipine, respectively. A significant degradation was observed at alkaline pH (>pH 8) with a first order kinetic for both drugs. At pH 12, 80 degrees C, k values of 3.56x10(-2) x h(-1) and 2.22x10(-2) for nitrendipine and nisoldipine, respectively were obtained. Also, activation energies of 16.8 and 14.7 kcal x mol(-1) for nitrendipine and nisoldipine, respectively, were calculated. Furthermore, from the results obtained from hydrolytic degradation in different solutions for parenteral use, we can affirm that solutions significantly increased the degradation of nitrendipine. In conclusion, the HPLC proposed procedure exhibited adequate analytical requirements to be applied to the hydrolytic degradation studies of nitrendipine and nisoldipine. Furthermore, all tested parenteral solutions significantly increased the hydrolytic degradation of nitrendipine, the composition of solution being a relevant factor.

Abstract
An analytical method was developed for the determination of the enantiomers of felodipine, a dihydropyridine-type calcium antagonist, in human blood plasma. Felodipine was extracted from plasma using toluene as extraction solvent. The enantiomers were separated on a cellulose tris(4-methyl benzoate) stationary phase (Chiralcel OJ-R) using 2-propanol-iso-hexane (11:89) as mobile phase. Post-column addition of ammonium acetate in ethanol-water (95:5) allowed sensitive detection of the ammonium adduct by electrospray ionisation and selected reaction monitoring. Deuterated felodipine racemate was used as internal standard. Within-run repeatability was determined and a coefficient of variation below 2% was achieved at 22 nmol/l and below 10% at 0.27 nmol/l. Between-day precision was evaluated and a coefficient of variation of 3.6% at 4 nmol/l plasma was obtained. Limit of quantification (LOQ) was set at 0.25 nmol/l (0.10 microg/l). The method proved adequate for pharmacokinetic studies of R- and S-felodipine after oral administration of therapeutic doses of felodipine.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method with electrochemical detection has been developed for the determination of six 1,4-dihydropyridines: nifedipine, nimodipine, nisoldipine, nicardipine, felodipine and lacidipine. The chromatographic separation was performed using a Supelcosil LC-ABZ+Plus C18 column. A mobile phase of methanol-water (70:30), containing 2 mM CH3COOH-CH3COONa at a flow-rate of 1 ml/min and a pH of 5.0, was used. The temperature was optimized at 30+/-0.2 degrees C. The amperometric detector, equipped with a glassy carbon electrode, was operated at 1000 mV versus Ag/AgCl in the direct current mode. The method was applied to the determination of these compounds at ng/ml concentrations, obtaining intra-day reproducibilities of lower than 5.0% in terms of relative standard deviations and detection limits ranging from 16 to 44 ng/ml. The method was applied to the screening of 1,4-dihydropyridines in spiked plasma samples, with a total elution time of lower than 18 min, obtaining the best recoveries for nimodipine and felodipine (91 and 88%, respectively). These recoveries together with the low detection limits achieved allow its application to the analysis of these drugs in human plasma.

Abstract
A complete two-dimensional separation technique for the determination of acidic compounds in plasma was developed by using column-switching reversed-phase liquid chromatography. This technique was based on solute peak enrichment at the top of the second column during heart-cutting and an ion-pair chromatographic separation in the second column using tetrabutylammonium ion, where different separation modes in the first and second columns and solute peak enrichment at the top of the second column during heart-cutting were achieved coincidentally. Retention behaviors of two solutes, zidovudine-beta-D-glucuronide (AZT-beta-D-Gluc) and probenecid, in the first and second column and solute peak enrichment at the top of the second column were investigated for establishment of the system. Different retention behaviors of the solutes in the first and second column, which were evaluated by changes in capacity factor versus acetonitrile concentration in the mobile phases, and peak enrichment could be accomplished by using ion-pair chromatography in the second column. System suitability was confirmed by assessing the number of theoretical plates (N) of the second column for the solutes after heart-cutting. The N values in the second column after column switching were almost same as those in the case that the solutes were directly injected onto the second column. These results indicate that complete two-dimensional separation should be achieved by using this system. Furthermore, this technique was applied to method development for the determination of AZT-beta-D-Gluc and probenecid in rat plasma. The peaks of each analyte in the plasma extract obtained by deproteinization were well separated from those of endogenous substances, and easy determination of the analytes could be accomplished at the ng/ml level only by changing the acetonitrile concentration in the mobile phases.

Abstract
Amlodipine, 3-ethyl 5-methyl-2-[(2-aminoethoxymethyl]-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-6-methy l-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate, is a chiral calcium antagonist, currently on the market and in therapeutic use as a racemate. The pharmacokinetic behaviour of R-(+)- and S-(-)-amlodipine after single enantiomer administration to healthy male human volunteers together with comparative administration of the racemic mixture of both enantiomers were studied. Plasma levels were studied as a function of time and assayed using an enantioselective chromatographic method (coupled chiral and achiral HPLC) with on-line solid-phase extraction and UV absorbance detection. The method was validated separately for the R-(+)- and S-(-)-enantiomer, respectively. Results of the study indicate that the pharmacokinetic behaviour of R-(+)- and S-(-)-amlodipine after single enantiomer administration is comparable to that of each enantiomer after administration of the racemate. No racemization occurs in vivo in human plasma after single enantiomer administration.
