Azilsartan medoxomil

Azilsartan is used for treatment of the high blood pressure (hypertension). Reducing high blood pressure enables avoid strokes, heart attacks and problems of kidneys. Azilsartan comes under the name angiotensin receptor blocker (ARBs) as a class of drugs. It acts by relaxing blood vessels to make it easier for blood to flow.

Stability-Indicating RP-UPLC Method for Simultaneous Determination of Azilsartan Medoxomil and Chlorthalidone in Tablets in the Presence of Its Degradation Products

Azilsartan Medoxomil (AZL) angiotensin II receptor blocker and chlorthalidone (CLT) were determined by ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method in their combined dosage form, they were both subjected to forced degradation studies under extensive stress conditions. The method is a stability indicating by resolving the investigated drugs from their degradation products. Moreover, the degradation products for both drugs obtained from forced degradation were subjected to LC-MS for structure elucidation. The UPLC technique depends on the measurement of spectra for AZL and CLT at 254 nm. Linearity, accuracy and intermediate precision were acceptable over the concentration range of 67.2-268.8 and 40-160 μg/mL for AZL and CLT, respectively. The method was applied for the determination of the studied drugs in their dosage forms. The UPLC method is inexpensive, simple and considered as green chemistry method for the routine analysis and quality control of both drugs in their combined dosage form.

Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric studies on azilsartan medoxomil and chlorthalidone to be utilized in their determination in pharmaceuticals

The recently approved angiotensin II receptor blocker, azilsartan medoxomil (AZL), was determined spectrophotometrically and spectrofluorimetrically in its combination with chlorthalidone (CLT) in their combined dosage form. The UV-spectrophotometric technique depends on simultaneous measurement of the first derivative spectra for AZL and CLT at 286 and 257 nm, respectively, in methanol. The spectrofluorimetric technique depends on measurement of the fourth derivative of the synchronous spectra intensities of AZL in presence of CLT at 298 nm in methanol. The effects of different solvents on spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric responses were studied. For, the spectrofluorimetric study, the effect of pH and micelle-assisted fluorescence enhancement were also studied. Linearity, accuracy, and precision were found to be satisfactory over the concentration ranges of 8–50 μg mL⁻¹ and 2–20 μg mL⁻¹ for AZL and CLT, respectively, in the spectrophotometric method as well as 0.01–0.08 μg mL⁻¹ for AZL in the spectrofluorimetric method. The methods were successfully applied for the determination of the studied drugs in their co-formulated tablets. The developed methods are inexpensive and simple for the quality control and routine analysis of the cited drugs in bulk and in pharmaceuticals.
