Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and solid phase micro membrane tip extraction (SPMMTE) methods are developed for the simultaneous analysis of eleven cardiovascular drugs in human plasma. Iron nanoparticles were obtained by the green method, characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TEM, and EDS and utilized in SPMMTE for sample preparation. The mobile phase used was ammonium acetate buffer-methanol-acetonitrile (65:18:17) with a 1.0 mL/min flow rate at 260 nm detection. Column used was Sunshell C18 150 × 4.6 mm, 2.6 µm. The values of k, α, and Rs were ranged from 040 to109.22, 1.20 to 2.67 and 1.0 to 26.18. SPMMTE and HPLC methods were fast, reproducible, precise, robust, economic and rugged for analysis of methyldopa, hydrochlorothiazide, prazosin hydrochloride, furosemide, labetalol, propranolol, valsartan, losartan potassium, diltiazem, irbesartan and spironolactone in human plasma. The recoveries (%) of methyldopa, hydrochlorothiazide, prazosin hydrochloride, furosemide, labetalol, propranolol, valsartan, losartan potassium, diltiazem, irbesartan, and spironolactone were 91.0, 85.2, 92.3, 90.4, 90.1, 85.6, 86.6, 86.2, 85.1, 86.6, and 85.7, respectively. These results showed that SPMMTE and HPLC methods can be applied to test the described drugs in several matrices.

Abstract
Combination therapy with diuretics and angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist is frequently recommended for the control of blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This study was targeted to compare pharmacokinetic profiles of a new generic fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet of olmesartan medoxomil/hydrochlorothiazide 20/12.5 mg and a reference formulation of Olmetec Plus 20/12.5 mg tablets in healthy volunteers. The study design was a randomized sequence and two-way crossover study in healthy subjects. They were to be randomly assigned to either one of the two sequence groups; each subject sequentially received a single oral dose of reference and test tablet with 7-day washout period. Blood sample was collected at pre-dose and at 0.33, 0.67, 1, 1.33, 1.67, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h post-dose. The blood concentrations were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Both of the 90% CI for the treatment ratios (test/reference) of C(max) and AUC(last) were to be in the range of 0.800-1.250 with regards to olmesartan medoxomil and hydrochlorothiazide; the geometric mean ratios (test/reference) for olmesartan C(max) and AUC(last) were 0.979 (90% CI, 0.934-1.027) and 0.992 (0.946-1.041), respectively, and those for hydrochlorothiazide C(max) and AUC(last) were 0.966 (0.975-1.110) and 0.999 (0.963-1.038), respectively. No serious adverse events were reported during the study. The generic formulation of olmesartan medoxomil/hydrochlorothiazide 20/12.5 mg tablet was bioequivalent with the reference formulation of Olmetec Plus 20/12.5 mg tablet in regards to the pharmacokinetic parameters of olmesartan medoxomil and hydrochlorothiazide.

Abstract
The study aims to evaluate the bioequivalence of valsartan hydrochlorothiazide tablets, and to investigate the potential cause of bioinequivalence. This was a single-center study with an open, randomized double-way crossover design. Test and reference preparations containing 160 mg of valsartan and 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide were given to 36 healthy male volunteers. Plasma concentrations of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide were determined simultaneously by LC-MS/MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters and relative bioavailability were calculated, while the bioequivalence between test and reference preparations were evaluated. The dissolution profiles of test and reference preparations in four different mediums were determined via dissolution test and HPLC. The similarity was investigated according to the similarity factors (f2). The F(o-t) and F(0-infinity) were (139.4 +/- 65.2)% and (137.5 +/- 61.2)% for valsartan of test preparations. It led to get the conclusion that test and reference preparations were not bioequivalent for valsartan. A significant difference was observed between test and reference tablets in the valsartan dissolution test of pH 1.2 hydrochloric acid solution. The key factor of the bioinequivalence might be that dissolution of valsartan in acid medium has marked difference between two preparations.

Abstract
In this work, an electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) detector with improved stability was developed for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). The detector was prepared by packing cation exchanged resin particles in a glass tube, followed by inserting Pt wires (working electrode) in this tube and sealing. The leakage of Ru(bpy)3(2+) from the resin was compensated by adding a small amount of Ru(bpy)3(2+) in the mobile phase. Factors affected the performance of the proposed ECL detector were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the ECL intensity has a linear relationship with the concentration of HCTZ in the range of 5.0 × 10(-8) g mL(-1)-2.5 × 10(-5) g mL(-1) and the detection limit was 2.0 × 10(-8) g mL(-1) (S/N=3). Application of the detector to the analysis of HCTZ in human serum proved feasible.

Abstract
The effects of combination hormone therapy of drospirenone (DRSP), a novel progestin with antialdosterone properties, and 17beta-estradiol (E2) on hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics versus placebo were investigated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Thirty-six postmenopausal women with stage 1 hypertension maintained on 25 mg of HCTZ once daily were randomized to receive either 3 mg of DRSP/1 mg of E2 or placebo once daily for 4 weeks. Plasma HCTZ, serum DRSP, E2, potassium, aldosterone, and plasma renin activity were determined at baseline and after 4 weeks. Results showed that the combination of DRSP/E2 plus 25 mg of HCTZ is safe and well tolerated in hypertensive postmenopausal women. The pharmacokinetics of HCTZ were not affected by coadministration of DRSP/E2. The geometric mean ratios and 90% confidence intervals ([HCTZ + DRSP/E2]/[HCTZ + placebo]) for HCTZ (a) area under the serum/plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours and (b) maximum plasma concentration were 101 (90.7, 112) and 103 (92.8, 115), respectively. In the HCTZ + DRSP/E2 group, serum potassium, aldosterone, and plasma renin activity all increased in a manner marginally consistent with a beneficial antialdosterone effect, counteracting the HCTZ-induced potassium loss and lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. No dose adjustment is required when DRSP/E2 is added to antihypertensive therapy with HCTZ in hypertensive postmenopausal women.

Abstract
The aim of the present study, performed on two different groups of volunteers, is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide combined tablet. After administration of high, medium and low doses of lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide combined tablets, AUC and C(max) of two compounds both increase significantly with increase of dose. Neither normalized AUC/Dose nor C(max)/Dose has significant difference between every two tested dose groups. The similar results can be observed as for the parameters of t(max). Lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide are both eliminated with linear characteristics. After repeated administration of lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide combined tablets, AUC, C(max) and C(min) of lisinopril in the steady state increase. AUC and C(min) increase significantly. As for hydrochlorothiazide, AUC, C(max), C(min), and t(max) also increase in steady state. AUC and C(min) increase significantly. Administered with the test medication, lisinopril has an fluctuation index (FI) value of 2.29 and reaches a relative steady concentration. But hydrochlorothiazide has an FI value of 4.09 with relatively large fluctuating concentrations.

Abstract
A new, specific, and sensitive RP-HPLC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of eprosartan (EPR) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT). Good chromatographic separation was achieved using a 250 x 4.6 mm id, 5 microm particle size Symmetry C18 column. The mobile phase acetonitrile-0.1 M phosphate buffer (35+65, v/v), pH 4.5, was pumped at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, with UV detection at 275 nm. The method showed good linearity in the ranges of 0.5-50 and 0.1-10 microg/mL, with LOD of 0.06 and 0.02 microg/mL and LOQ of 0.20 and 0.08 microg/mL for EPR and HCT, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the analysis of the studied drugs in their synthetic mixture and co-formulated tablets. The method was further extended to the in vitro and in vivo determination of the two drugs in spiked and real human plasma. Interference likely to be encountered from the co-administered drugs was studied.

Abstract
A sensitive, selective and rapid liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in human plasma. The plasma samples were prepared by solid phase extraction using Oasis HLB 30 mg 1CC cartridges. Chromatographic separation was accomplished on a Thermo Hypurity Advance (50 mm x 4.6mm i.d., 5 microm) column. The mobile phase consisted of HPLC Grade Acetonitrile: 2 mM Ammonium acetate (90 : 10 v / v) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL min(-1). Detection of hydrochlorothiazide and the internal standard (IS) zidovudine was achieved by ESI MS/MS in the negative ion mode. The total chromatographic runtime was 2.5 minutes. The linear range of the method was from 2.036-203.621 ng mL(-1). The mass transition ion pair has been followed as m/z 296.10/205.00 for HCTZ and 266.10/223.10 for Zidovudine. The mean overall recovery of HCTZ was 66.40% with a precision of 2.44%. The mean recovery of internal standard (Zidovudine) was 63.62% with a precision ranging from 2.06% to 5.40%. The method was successfully applied for the evaluation of pharmacokinetics of hydrochlorothiazide after single oral dose of 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide to healthy volunteers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important parameter for studying drug-induced impairments on renal function in rats. The GFR is calculated from the concentration of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in serum and in urine, respectively. Following current protocols serum and urine samples must be taken from the same animal. Thus, in order to determine time-dependent effects it is necessary to use for each time point one separated group of animals. We developed a statistical test which allows analyzing the GFR from two different groups of animals: one used for repeated serum and the other one used for repeated urine analysis. METHODS Serum and urine samples were taken from two different sets of rats which were otherwise treated identically, i.e. drug doses, routes of administration (per os or per inhalation) and tap water loading. For each dose group GFR mean, standard deviation and statistical analysis to identify differences between the dose groups were determined. RESULTS After determination of the optimal time points for measurements, the effect on GFR of the three reference compounds, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide and formoterol, was calculated. The results showed that the diuretic drugs furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide decreased the GFR and the antidiuretic drug formoterol increased the GFR, as counter regulation on urine loss or urine retention, respectively. DISCUSSION A mathematical model and the corresponding algorithm were developed, which can be used to calculate the GFR, and to test for differences between groups from two separated sets of rats, one used for urine, and the other one for serum analysis. This new method has the potential to reduce the number of animals needed and to improve the quality of data generated from various groups of animals in renal function studies.

Abstract
A rapid, specific and sensitive LC-MS/MS assay using solid-phase extraction (SPE) for the determination of pravastatin, in human plasma is described. The plasma filtrate obtained after SPE, using a polymer base, a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) cartridge, was submitted directly to short-column liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) assay, with negligible matrix effect on the analysis. For validation of the method, the recovery of the free analytes was compared with that from an optimized extraction method, and the analyte stability was examined under conditions mimicking the sample storage, handling, and analysis procedures. The extraction procedure yielded extremely clean extracts with a recovery of 107.44 and 98.93% for pravastatin and IS, respectively. The intra-assay and inter-assay precisions for the samples at the LLOQ were 3.30 and 7.31% respectively. The calibration curves were linear for the dynamic range 0.5-200 ng/mL with correlation coefficient r > or = 0.9988. The intra- and inter-assay accuracy ranged from 95.87 to 112.40%. The method is simple and reliable with a total run time of 3 min. This novel validated method was applied to the pharmacokinetic (PK) study in human volunteers receiving a single oral dose of 40 mg immediate release (IR) formulation.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma. After a simple protein precipitation using acetonitrile, the analytes were separated on a Zorbax SB-Aq C18 column using acetonitrile-10mM ammonium acetate (60:40, v/v, pH 4.5) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min. Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide were eluted at 2.08 min and 1.50 min, respectively, ionized using ESI source, and then detected by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The precursor to product ion transitions of m/z 434.2-350.2 and m/z 295.9-268.9 were used to quantify valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide, respectively. The method was linear in the concentration range of 4-3600 ng/mL for valsartan and 1-900 ng/mL for hydrochlorothiazide. The method was successfully employed in a pharmacokinetic study after an oral administration of a dispersible tablet containing 80 mg valsartan and 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide to each of the 20 healthy volunteers.

Abstract
A new method for simultaneous determination of amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide by liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) operated in positive and negative ionization switching mode was developed and validated. Protein precipitation with acetonitrile was selected for sample preparation. The analytes were separated on a Phenomenex Curosil-PFP (250x4.6 mm, 5 microm) column by a gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of 0.15% formic acid solution containing 0.23% ammonium acetate and methanol pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL.min(-1). Rizatriptan was used as the internal standard (IS) for quantification. The determination was carried out on a Waters Quattro-micro triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer operated in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode using the following transitions monitored simultaneously: positive m/z 230-->171 for amiloride, m/z 270-->158 for rizatriptan, and negative m/z 296-->205 for hydrochlorothiazide. The lower limits of quantification (LLOQs) were 0.1 and 1.0 ng.mL(-1) for amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide, respectively, which were lower than other published methods by using ultraviolet (UV), fluorimetric or mass spectrometric detection. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were studied at three different concentration levels and were always better than 15% (n=5). This simple and robust LC/MS/MS method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of compound amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide tablets in healthy male Chinese volunteers.

Abstract
An automated, sensitive and high-throughput liquid chromatographic/electrospray tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) assay was developed for the simultaneous determination of losartan (LOS), its major circulating metabolite EXP-3174 and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in human plasma. LOS and HCTZ coexist in the same drug formulation, and this is the first method that enables the simultaneous determination of both drugs along with the active metabolite of LOS. Since these drugs have different physicochemical properties, the employment of a liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) protocol was precluded. A fully automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) protocol, based on 96-well format plates, was used to isolate these compounds and furosemide (internal standard, IS) from plasma. Washing and elution steps were amended accordingly in order to minimize any matrix effect from components of the plasma without reducing the elution of the molecules of interest. The compounds were eluted from a C18 column and detected with an API 3000 triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer using negative electrospray ionization and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The assay was linear over the range 1.00-400 ng/mL for LOS and EXP-3174 and 0.500-200 ng/mL for HCTZ, respectively, when 200 microl of plasma was used in the extraction. The overall intra- and interassay variations were within acceptance limits. The analysis time for each sample was 4 min, and more than 300 samples could be analyzed in one day by running the system overnight. The assay was simple, highly sensitive, selective, precise, fast, and it enables the reliable determination of LOS, EXP-3174 and HCTZ in pharmacokinetic or bioequivalence studies after per os administration of a single tablet containing both drugs.

Abstract
A simple, rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of captopril and hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma samples was developed. Captopril was derivatized with 2,4'-dibromoacetophenone (pBPB) to form a captopril-pBPB adduct. From acidified serum plasma samples, the hydrochlorothiazide and derivatized captopril was extracted with 5 ml ether, then with 5 ml dichloromethane. Effective chromatographic separation was achieved using a C(18) column (DIAMONSIL 150 mmx4 mm i.d., 5 microm) based on an acetonitrile-trifluoroacetic acid-water gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.2 ml/min. The internal standard (IS), derivatized captopril and hydrochlorothiazide were detected at 263 nm and were eluted at 4.2, 6.8 and 16.9 min, respectively. No endogenous substances were found to interfere. The limit of quantification for hydrochlorothiazide and derivatized captopril in plasma were 3.3 and 7 ng/ml. The calibration curve for derivatized captopril showed linearity in the range 20-4000 ng/ml, with a regression coefficient corresponding to 0.9993 and the coefficient of the variation of the points of the calibration curve being lower than 10%. The calibration curve for hydrochlorothiazide showed linearity in the range 10-1200 ng/ml, with a regression coefficient corresponding to 0.9999 and the coefficient of the variation of the points of the calibration curve being lower than 10%. The method was suitably validated and successfully applied to the determination of captopril and hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma samples.

Abstract
A new method was developed and fully validated for the quantitation of benazepril, benazeprilat and hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma. Sample pretreatment was achieved by solid-phase extraction (SPE) using Oasis HLB cartridges. The extracts were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to a single-quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS) with an electrospray ionization interface. The MS system was operated in selected ion monitoring (SIM) modes. HPLC was performed isocratically on a reversed-phase porous graphitized carbon (PGC) analytical column (2.1 x 125.0 mm i.d., particle size 5 microm). The mobile phase consisted of 55% acetonitrile in water containing 0.3% v/v formic acid and pumped at a flow rate of 0.15 ml min(-1). Chlorthalidone was used as the internal standard (IS) for quantitation. The assay was linear over a concentration range of 5.0-500 ng ml(-1) for all the compounds analysed, with a limit of quantitation of 5 ng ml(-1) for all the compounds. Quality control (QC) samples (5, 10, 100 and 500 ng ml(-1)) in five replicates from three different runs of analyses demonstrated intra-assay precision (coefficient of variation (CV) < or =14.6%), inter-assay precision (CV < or = 5.6%) and overall accuracy (relative error less than -8.0%). The method can be used to quantify benazepril, benazeprilat and hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma, covering a variety of pharmacokinetic or bioequivalence studies.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective method for the determination of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) concentrations in rat plasma was developed using high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). An aliquot of plasma (50 microl) was mixed with the solution of internal standard, hydrofluorothiazide (HFTZ), and extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether. The reconstituted extract was applied to the LC-MS/MS system with a reversed phase C8 column and eluted with distilled water/acetonitrile (85/15, v/v). To enhance negative ionization of HCTZ and HFTZ in the multiple reaction monitor (MRM), the solution consisting of acetonitlile/1% (v/v) ammonia solution (95/5, v/v) was delivered after column separation. This additional technique, so-called the post-column addition, increased sensitivity of HCTZ and HFTZ about 500- and 200-fold, respectively. The calibration curve showed good linearity (r = 0.999) over the range of 4-1000 ng/ml. Acceptable accuracy (100.8-113.1%) and precision (0.28-16.4%) were confirmed in the intra- and the inter-day analyses. It is indicated that this LC-MS/MS method is useful for pharmacokinetic studies of HCTZ in small animals, because it enabled the serial determination of plasma level of HCTZ in rats.

Abstract
A simple, rapid, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for quantification of hydrochlorothiazide (I), a common diuretic and anti-hypertensive agent. The analyte and internal standard, tamsulosin (II) were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction with diethyl ether-dichloromethane (70:30, v/v) using a Glas-Col Multi-Pulse Vortexer. The chromatographic separation was performed on a reversed-phase column (Waters symmetry C18) with a mobile phase of 10 mm ammonium acetate-methanol (15:85, v/v). The protonated analyte was quantitated in negative ionization by multiple reaction monitoring with a mass spectrometer. The mass transitions m/z 296.1 solidus in circle 205.0 and m/z 407.2 solidus in circle 184.9 were used to measure I and II, respectively. The assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 0.5-200 ng/mL for hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma. The lower limit of quantitation was 500 pg/mL, with a relative standard deviation of less than 9%. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve ranges. A run time of 2.5 min for each sample made it possible to analyze a throughput of more than 400 human plasma samples per day. The validated method has been successfully used to analyze human plasma samples for application in pharmacokinetic, bioavailability or bioequivalence studies.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that rapidly dissolving immediate-release (IR) solid oral products containing a highly soluble and highly permeable drug [biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class I] are bioequivalent under fed conditions. Metoprolol and propranolol (BCS class I) as well as hydrochlorothiazide (BCS class III) were selected as model drugs. The relative bioavailability of two FDA approved (Orange Book AB rating) solid oral dosage forms of metoprolol and propranolol/hydrochlorothiazide (combination tablets) was evaluated in human volunteers under fed conditions using a two-way crossover design. Equal numbers of male and female volunteers were recruited, and racial and/or ethnic minorities were not excluded. The plasma concentrations of metoprolol, propranolol, and hydrochlorothiazide were determined using validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods. Eighteen subjects completed the metoprolol study while 17 subjects completed the propranolol/hydrochlorothiazide combination tablet study. In the metoprolol study, the 90% confidence intervals of Cmax and AUC(inf) were 98-118% and 92-115%, respectively. For propranolol, the 90% confidence intervals of Cmax and AUC(inf) were 91-121% and 89-117%, and for hydrochlorothiazide, the 90% confidence intervals for Cmax and AUC(inf) were 96-107% and 97-106%, respectively. These study results appear to support the hypothesis that rapidly dissolving IR solid oral products containing a BCS class I drug are likely to be bioequivalent under fed conditions. In addition, BCS class III drugs may have the potential to be bioequivalent under fed conditions.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed, validated and applied for the determination of hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma. The effects of mobile phase composition, buffer concentration, mobile phase pH and concentration of organic modifiers on retention of hydrochlorothiazide and internal standard were investigated. The method involves solid-phase extraction on RP-select B cartridges followed by isocratic reversed-phase chromatography on a Hibar Lichrospher 100 RP-8 column with UV detection at 230 nm. The recovery, selectivity, linearity, precision and accuracy of the method were evaluated from spiked human plasma samples. Limit of quantification was 10 ng mL(-1). The method has been implemented to monitor hydrochlorothiazide levels in patient samples.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetic parameters of two oral formulations of 20/12.5 mg tablets of enalapril/hydrochlorothiazide (CAS 75847-73-3 and CAS 58-93-5, respectively; Penopril as test and another commercially available preparation as reference) were compared in an open-label randomized single oral dose two-period cross-over design to 24 healthy volunteers under fasting conditions. Plasma concentrations of enalaprilat (CAS 76420-72-9), the pharmacologically active metabolite of enalapril, and hydrochlorothiazide were determined by a validated GC/MS and HPLC assay, respectively. Serial blood samples were collected prior to each administration and at 19 timepoints within 36 h after dosing. The parametric 90% confidence intervals of the geometric mean values of the test/reference ratios for enalaprilat were 99.3% to 118.9% (point estimate: 108.7%) for AUC(0-infinity), 97.3% to 116.9% (point estimate: 106.7%) for AUC(0-t), and 92.5% to 113.0% (point estimate: 102.3%) for Cmax, and for hydrochlorothiazide 92.3% to 105.1% (point estimate: 98.5%) for AUC(0-infinity), 92.7% to 105.4% (point estimate: 98.9%) for AUC(0-t), and 97.6% to 115.3% (point estimate: 106.0%) for Cmax, within the acceptance criteria for bioequivalence (80%-125%). Tmax values were analyzed by the nonparametric Wilcoxon test and the difference was not statistically significant. Therefore, it is concluded that the test and reference enalapril/hydrochlorothiazide formulations are bioequivalent for both the extent and the rate of absorption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Area under the curve (AUC) can be related to the therapeutic or toxic effect of a drug. In order to accurately measure AUC, multiple blood samples are required, but in a clinical setting, frequent blood sampling from the patients is time-consuming and expensive. The limited sampling model (LSM) is one of the approaches that is gaining popularity due to its simplicity for the estimation of AUC using 1 - 3 samples. Despite its simplicity, the LSM has some shortcomings. One of the major drawbacks of the LSM is that the LSM developed under a given condition may not be extended to other conditions. For example, the LSM developed from healthy subjects may not be extended to disease states such as renal or hepatic impairment or vice versa. This characteristic of the LSM can be referred to as "center-specific". In this investigation, the LSM developed from the healthy subjects was used to predict AUC in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. METHODS Two sets of simulated plasma concentration versus time data for 2 antihypertensive drugs and measured plasma concentration versus time data for 2 representative drugs (A and B) were used in the analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The results of the study indicate that the LSM developed from healthy subjects is inadequate to predict AUC in patients with hepatic or renal impairment, indicating center specificity of the LSM.

Abstract
AIM Two formulations of lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide (20 mg/12.5 mg) were evaluated for bioequivalence after single dosing in healthy volunteers. METHODS The study was conducted according to an open, randomized, 2-period crossover design with a 2-week washout interval between doses. Twenty-four volunteers participated and all completed the study successfully. Lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide were determined in plasma by HPLC. The pharmacokinetic parameters AUC(0-t), AUC(0-infinity), Cmax and Cmax/AUC(0-infinity) were tested for bioequivalence after logarithmic transformation of data and ratios of tmax were evaluated non-parametrically. RESULTS For lisinopril, the parametric analysis revealed the following test/reference ratios and their confidence intervals (90% CI): 1.01 (0.84-1.22) for AUC(0-t), 0.98 (0.81-1.19) for AUC(0-infinity), 1.02 (0.83-1.25) for Cmax and 1.03 (0.99-1.08) for Cmax/AUC(0-infinity). The 90% CI for tmax was 0.94-1.07. All parameters showed bioequivalence between both formulations. As for hydrochlorothiazide, test/reference ratios and their confidence intervals (90% CI) were: 1.05 (0.95-1.17), 1.02 (0.93-1.12) for AUC(0-infinity), 0.99 (0.89-1.07) for Cmax and 0.97 (0.90-1.04) for Cmax/AUC(0-infinity). The 90% CI for tmax was 1.00-1.41. All parameters showed bioequivalence between both formulations except for tmax. A discrete fall in both systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure was observed after drug administration. The time course of both parameters was similar for the 2 formulations. Heart rates also followed a similar time profile. CONCLUSIONS The bioequivalence of the 2 formulations of lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide was demonstrated.

Abstract
A simple, selective, sensitive and precise high-performance liquid chromatographic plasma assay for the antihypertensive drugs, irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide is described. Good chromatographic separation was achieved using a Supelcocil C(18) (5 micrometer 15 cmx4.6 mm) column and a mobile phase consisting of 10 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate:methanol:acetonitrile (5:80:15 v/v/v) (pH:2.5) while at a flow-rate of 1.0 ml min(-1). Irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide were detected at 275 nm and were eluted 5.8 and 7.8 min, respectively, after injection. No endogenous substances were found to interfere. The method utilizes protein precipitation with acetonitrile as the only sample preparation involved prior to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. No internal standard was required. Linearity range for irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide was 10.0-60.0 microgram ml(-1) and 4.0-20.0 microgram ml(-1), respectively. The determination of intra- and inter-day precision (RSD) was less than 2.5 and 3.5%, at all concentration levels, while the inter- and intra-day accuracy (% difference) was less than 4.9-6.2%. This method is being used in a therapeutic drug monitoring service to quantitate these therapeutic agents in patients for pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
A bioequivalence study of two oral formulations of 20/12.5 mg tablets of enalapril/hydrochlorothiazide was carried out in 20 healthy male volunteers according to a single dose, two-sequence, crossover randomized design. One washout period of nine days was observed between the two periods. Multiple samples were collected over 96 hours post-dosing. Bioavailability was evaluated on the basis of plasma concentrations of enalapril and its main active metabolite, enalaprilat and hydrochlorothiazide. Plasma samples were assayed for enalapril, enalaprilat and hydrochlorothiazide using a selective and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method with mass spectrometry detection (LC-MS). The pharmacokinetic parameter values of Cmax and tmax were obtained directly from plasma data, k(e) was estimated by log-linear regression, and AUC was calculated by trapezoidal rule. Different statistical tests were performed on the basis of untransformed and log-transformed data and the overall residual variance from ANOVA. Assuming the accepted tolerance intervals, a beta-error of 20% and 90% confidence intervals (alpha = 0.10), all the generally accepted tests (Schuirmann test and Wilcoxon-Tukey and Hauschke nonparametric tests) showed that the formulations can be considered as bioequivalent with respect to the extent of absorption, given by the AUC(0-infinity) and with respect to rate of absorption as assessed by Cmax and tmax.

Abstract
The main parameters considered in optimizing the liquid extraction and quantitative assay were the yield, precision, limit of quantification, time required for extraction and concentration, and quantity of solvent. The influence on these parameters of the following factors was examined: nature of the extracting solvent, quantity of solvent, co-extraction solvent, and duration of stirring. Instead of equilibrium parameters of the involved thermodynamic system, a kinetic approach was preferred in terms of the effective partition 'constant', which is not really constant but a function of time and extraction conditions. The final selected method, considered to be rapid and simple, was applied to determine the pharmacokinetics of hydrochlorotiazide (HCT) after administration of Capozide (Bristol-Myers Squibb) tablets containing 50 mg Captopril and 25 mg HCT, to 4 healthy volunteers. The results obtained were in accordance with the pharmacokinetic parameters of HCT reported in the literature.

Abstract
Medication inventory is more reliable than self-report in assessing prescription drug use in elderly populations. It is not known how strongly medication inventory reflects actual medication use as measured by serum drug levels. In the Cardiovascular Health Study, medication data were collected annually by study interviewers from medication containers brought to the clinic visit. At the fourth clinic visit, venipuncture was performed under 12-hour fasting conditions. Participants were told to take medications as usual. Based on medication inventory results, we randomly selected 55 users and 55 non-users of four cardiovascular drugs: aspirin, propranolol, hydrochlorothiazide, and digoxin. All 110 blood samples for each of the four drugs were analyzed; cut points were based on detectable levels given laboratory limitations. Kappa statistics (K) tested degree of agreement between medication inventory findings and serum detection. Assays were completed on 400 samples (91%). Agreement for aspirin (n=102) was poor: K=0.16 (95% CI: 0.0-0.32). Agreement for propranolol (n = 98) was fair: K=0.43 (95% CI: 0.27-0.59). Agreement for hydrochlorothiazide (n=100) was good: K=0.62 (95% CI: 0.53-0.91). Agreement for digoxin (n=100) was excellent: K=0.94 (95% CI: 0.74-1.0). For four all drugs, lack of agreement was confined primarily to participants who reported use but did not have detectable levels. Excluding aspirin users, only one non-user (0.7%) had drug detected in serum. The medication inventory is a reasonably sensitive and a fairly reliable method for ascertaining non-aspirin cardiovascular drug use in the elderly even though this method may overestimate use as assessed by serum level.

Abstract
A HPLC method with a very sensitive electrochemical detection has been developed for determining the diuretic agent hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) in serum of volunteers to whom a single dose of the fixed combination of 12.5 mg HCT and 25 mg triamterene was administered. In the present method samples (0.2 ml serum, pH 7) were purified by extraction of HCT into 5 ml tert.-butyl-methyl ether. The separated organic phase was spiked with p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) standard. The separation was performed on a reversed-phase C18 column using phosphate buffer-acetonitrile (90:10). A coulometric cell was used to measure HCT and an ultraviolet detector for PABA. The limit of quantitation for serum samples of only 200 microliters was 5 ng/ml (i.e. 60 pg HCT/injection) with a good reproducibility (1-8%). Short retention times were found: 1.2 min for PABA and 5.8 min for HCT.

Abstract
An open, randomised, cross-over study was performed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of enalaprilat, administered as 20 mg enalapril both as monotherapy and in combination with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ 12.5 mg). Three groups of 6 hypertensive patients were enrolled [untreated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 90-115 mm Hg]; normal renal function [glomerular filtration rate (GFR) > 81 ml min-1 1.73 m-2], mild renal impairment (GFR 51-80 ml min-1 1.73 m-2), and moderate renal impairment (GFR 31-50 ml min-1 1.73 m-2). The pharmacokinetics of enalaprilat and enalaprilat plus HCTZ correlated predictably with renal impairment with increased plasma concentrations and decreased urinary elimination at lower values of GFR. The coadministration of HCTZ had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of enalaprilat in any group. We conclude that although the pharmacokinetics of both enalaprilat and HCTZ are related to renal function, HCTZ has no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of enalaprilat and that dosage adjustment for both regimens should be based on renal function.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetics of three drugs derived from nifedipine: corinfar, corinfar retard, and SL adalate in the cases of a single and course administration in patients with arterial hypertension and the effect of cordanum and triampur on pharmacokinetics of corinfar retard in combined repeated administration have been studied. The studies were carried out in 6 groups of patients with arterial Hypertension, each group included 10 patients. Nifedipine concentration in blood plasma was determined using a special HPLC procedure within 24 h after administration of the drugs at a dose 20 mg. A pharmacokinetic characteristics of new drug adalate SL with two-step liberation of nifedipine. A possibility of autoinhibition was noted for corinfar and adalate SL in course therapy. A conclusion was made that cordanum and triampur did not affect the pharmacokinetics of corinfar retard.

Abstract
The effects of the calcium antagonist, felodipine, and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) on natriuresis/diuresis and blood pressure were evaluated in 12 healthy subjects. The investigation was designed as a double-blind, three-way, randomised, crossover study, and all comparisons were performed against placebo. Urine volume, urine sodium excretion, heart rate and blood pressure were measured after a single dose of felodipine 10 mg, HCTZ 12.5 mg or placebo as well as during steady-state conditions (6 days of treatment with felodipine 10 mg b.i.d., HCTZ 12.5 mg b.i.d. or placebo). A significant increase in natriuresis was seen in the first 4 h after a single dose of felodipine and HCTZ, and the effect of felodipine was approximately 40% that of HCTZ. When the entire 24-h period after a single dose was studied, there was a significant increase in natriuresis after HCTZ, but not after felodipine, compared with placebo. A significant increase in diuresis was found in the first 4 h after a single dose of HCTZ, but not after felodipine, compared with placebo. Under steady-state conditions, there were no statistically significant differences between felodipine and placebo or HCTZ and placebo when the 24-h period, as a whole was considered. Potassium excretion was not affected by any of the drugs. Felodipine caused a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure in this study. This was not the case for HCTZ or placebo.

Abstract
LC assays utilizing fully automated sample preparation procedures on Zymark PyTechnology Robot and BenchMate Workstation for the quantification of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in human plasma and urine have been developed. After aliquoting plasma and urine samples, and adding internal standard (IS) manually, the robot executed buffer and organic solvent addition, liquid-liquid extraction, solvent evaporation and on-line LC injection steps for plasma samples, whereas, BenchMate performed buffer and organic solvent addition, liquid-liquid and solid-phase extractions, and on-line LC injection steps for urine samples. Chromatographic separations were carried out on Beckman Octyl Ultrasphere column using the mobile phase composed of 12% (v/v) acetonitrile and 88% of either an ion-pairing reagent (plasma) or 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (urine). The eluent from the column was monitored with UV detector (271 nm). Peak heights for HCTZ and IS were automatically processed using a PE-Nelson ACCESS*CHROM laboratory automation system. The assays have been validated in the concentration range of 2-100 ng ml-1 in plasma and 0.1-20 micrograms ml-1 in urine. Both plasma and urine assays have the sensitivity and specificity necessary to determine plasma and urine concentrations of HCTZ from low dose (6.25/12.5 mg) administration of HCTZ to human subjects in the presence or absence of losartan.

Abstract
The long-acting corinfar formulation, corinfar-retard tablets, 20 mg (AWD, Germany), was studied for pharmacokinetics in single and course use in 40 patients with arterial hypertension, as well as for its effects of cordanum and triampur. Patients' plasma corinfar was measured by high performance liquid chromatography. There were no changes in the pharmacokinetics of the agent when it was used in its course use. Cordanum and triampur was demonstrated to have no effects on the pharmacokinetics of corinfar during their application.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA)-immobilized aminopropyl silica precolumn was developed for direct injection determination of certain sulphonamide drugs in biological fluids by column-switching (CS) high-performance liquid chromatography. Under the optimized conditions, only the sulphonamide drugs with an unsubstituted sulphonamide group were retained on the CA precolumn and separated on a reversed-phase analytical column. Of these, the retention of hydrochlorothiazide (HCT), chlorothiazide, acetazolamide, furosemide (FS) and chlorthalidone was almost quantitative. The peak area of HCT was proportional to the concentration in the range of 1-100 nmol/mL with relative standard deviations of 3.7% (5 nmol/mL) and 0.7% (100 nmol/mL). This CS system was applied to urine and plasma samples spiked with HCT and FS. Endogenous components of these were effectively removed, and HCT and FS were selectively retained on the CA precolumn. Almost quantitative recoveries and reproducibility were obtained.

Abstract
A single blind crossover study with washout phases showed that pyrazinoylguanidine (PZG) reduced elevated serum concentrations of urea, triglycerides, and cholesterol in patients with renal insufficiency. Pyrazinoylguanidine was saluretic, without affecting serum potassium or glucose concentrations. The onset of PZG's antihypertensive effect occurred within 4 hours. In contrast, hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) increased serum concentrations of urea, triglycerides, and glucose, without affecting cholesterol.

Abstract
The diuretic drug hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) is used mainly for treatment of mild to moderate hypertension and is usually administered with other drugs. An assay for the determination of HCT in human plasma and urine by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been developed. Samples were purified by solvent extraction and analysed by reversed phase HPLC with ultraviolet detection, using hydroflumethiazide as the internal standard; plasma was eluted using gradient elution and urine was analysed isocratically. The method is simple to perform, is sensitive (detection limit 0.01 micrograms/mL in plasma and 0.2 micrograms/mL for urine); it showed good reproducibility (3-8%). A great number of drugs did not interfere with the assay and the method was used for pharmacokinetic studies in healthy subjects, but samples from patients can also be analysed with high selectivity.

Abstract
1. The effect of variability of gastric emptying and oro-caecal transit on the absorption of a multicomponent solution of frusemide, atenolol, hydrochlorthiazide and salicylic acid has been studied in six healthy subjects. Each subject was studied on five separate occasions: three times under basal conditions, once following metoclopramide and once following codeine pretreatment in an attempt to speed and slow transit respectively. 2. Inter-subject variability of gastric emptying, oro-caecal transit and the rate and extent of drug absorption was considerable. 3. The absorption of salicylic acid appeared rate-limited by gastric emptying but the rate and extent of frusemide, atenolol and hydrochlorthiazide absorption were unrelated to measures of gastric emptying or oro-caecal transit. 4. Codeine phosphate caused a two-fold delay in oro-caecal transit but did not influence gastric emptying while metoclopramide had no significant effect on either function. 5. Metoclopramide and codeine had no significant effect on the rate or extent of absorption of any of the study drugs. 6. Within the limits of this experiment, oro-caecal transit time did not appear to be an important determinant of frusemide, atenolol, hydrochlorothiazide or salicylic acid absorption. Other factors must account for the observed variability in drug absorption.

Abstract
1. We have studied the effects of a non-absorbable osmotic load on the absorption of a multicomponent solution of frusemide, atenolol, hydrochlorothiazide and salicylic acid in six healthy volunteers. 2. Each subject was studied on up to four separate occasions. The drugs were administered in one of four solutions: a) a mannitol/electrolyte solution, b) a double-strength mannitol/electrolyte solution, c) a glucose/electrolyte solution and d) water. Lactulose or sulphasalazine were added as oro-caecal transit markers. Lactulose was included in the mannitol- and glucose-based solutions, adding a further non-absorbable osmotic load, and sulphasalazine was added to the water, adding little osmotic load. 3. The absorption of atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide was two- to three-times less from all lactulose-containing solutions than from the sulphasalazine-containing solution. The absorption of frusemide and salicylic acid was similar from all four solutions. 4. The largest non-absorbable osmotic load impaired the absorption of atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide most and the incorporation of glucose only partly restored absorption. 5. These results suggest that transmucosal water movement is an important determinant of atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide absorption but is less relevant for the absorption of frusemide and salicylic acid. Furthermore, these data demonstrate a previously unrecognised interaction between a commonly prescribed laxative--lactulose, and atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide.

Abstract
The potential barrier effect of erythrocytes (RBC) on renal excretion (mainly by tubular secretion) of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) was evaluated in nine anesthetized rats during steady-state iv infusion. Drug concentrations in plasma and blood from the carotid artery and renal vein were assayed by a simple modified HPLC method. Renal extraction ratios were concentration-independent with a mean of 0.17 +/- 0.05 (SD). The renal excretion was found to occur primarily from the drug in plasma; the mean net fractional removal from plasma was 0.57 +/- 0.12, while that from RBC was less than 0.008 +/- 0.041. The virtual total unavailability of HCTZ from RBC (containing approximately 70% of drug in arterial blood) for renal excretion is attributed to relatively slow efflux of drug from RBC to plasma during each passage through the kidney compared with the blood transit time (in seconds). Preliminary in vitro influx and efflux kinetics of HCTZ across RBC membranes were studied using rat and human blood. The flux data could be adequately described by a linear, reversible, closed two-component system model, and the mean equilibration half-times (ET1/2) in rat and human blood were 10.9 and 20.5 min, respectively. The mean residence time of drug in blood circulation of rats was estimated to be 8.32 +/- 1.06 min, which is shorter than the ET1/2. This is consistent with data indicating that distribution equilibrium of HCTZ in arterial blood might not be reached in vivo even at steady state. Other implications of slow transport kinetics of drugs across RBC membranes are discussed.

Abstract
In spite of more than three decades of wide use of hydrochlorothiazide as a diuretic, its mean biological half-life (t1/2) and apparent volume of distribution (Vdarea) in normal subjects were found to vary greatly among 11 studies reported between 1976 and 1986. For example, the mean t1/2 values ranged from 3.2 to 13.1 h and Vdarea values from 1.53 to 4.19 l/kg. Furthermore, a t1/2 of only 2.5 h and a Vdarea of only 0.83 l/kg were cited in a recent textbook. The present analyses show a positive correlation between the length of the last blood sampling time (tlast) employed and the t1/2 or Vdarea. The smaller t1/2 and Vdarea values reported were attributed to the insufficient length of time used in blood sampling for a drug exhibiting polyexponential disposition function. The kinetic and dynamic significance of the findings were briefly described.

Abstract
A fully automated HPLC assay for hydrochlorothiazide in plasma has been developed using a column-switching technique. The method involves direct injection of plasma to the extraction column for sample cleanup followed by switching onto the analytical column. Good precision, accuracy, and linearity were obtained over a range of 25 to 2000 ng/ml in rat, dog, and human plasma. The column-switching method has also been validated by comparison with a conventional HPLC method requiring a cumbersome plasma extraction procedure. Since the method is simple, rapid, and reproducible, it is useful for determination of hydrochlorothiazide levels in animal and human plasma.

Abstract
2-Amino-4-chloro-m-benzenedisulfonamide (ACBS) is a metabolite of hydrochlorothiazide. We reported that the ACBS concentration in erythrocytes was higher than in plasma in a patient. Therefore the binding of ACBS to rabbit erythrocyte was studied. The Scatchard plot showed the nonlinear plot and the horizontal asymptote. Curvature in this plot indicated the existence of 2 classes of binding. One class was at a specific site, probably at carbonic anhydrase. Chromatographic data seemed to support the possibility.

Abstract
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) was administered orally to healthy volunteers and intravenously to rabbits. HCT concentrations in plasma (Cp) and erythrocytes (Ce) were determined by a high-performance liquid chromatographic method. Ce was about 9-fold that of Cp 24 h after the administration to volunteers, and 8-fold 6 h after the administration to rabbits. From the results of the in vitro binding study which was done with rabbit erythrocytes, at least the presence of three kinds of binding site for HCT was expected. The first binding site was characterized by extremely high affinity and very low capacity, and was unaffected by acetazolamide, known as a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. The second one was characterized by medium affinity and medium capacity, and disappeared under the presence of acetazolamide and may be due to the carbonic anhydrase of erythrocytes. The third one was characterized by low affinity, but its binding capacity was extremely high and apparently unsaturable in the HCT concentration range studied (0.5-100 micrograms/ml = 1.68-336 microM). The binding of HCT to erythrocytes seems to be dominated by the second binding site in the therapeutic range (under 1 microgram/ml of plasma).
