Abstract
In this literature review, we will introduce all reported methods that have been developed for determination of the antihistaminic drug, olopatadine HCl, the cough suppressant drug oxeladine citrate, and certain antihypertensive drugs such as amlodipine besylate and xipamide in their pure form, combined form with other drugs, combined form with degradation products, and in biological samples. We also will shed the light on the most important combination of drugs that are used for treatment of allergy and hypertension.
Olopatadine Hydrochloride
Olopatadine hydrochloride 11-[(Z)-3-(Dimethylamino) propylidene]-6,11-dihydrodibenzo [b,e]oxepin-2-acetic acid hydrochloride (Figure 1) [1].
Physical properties
Olopatadine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of olopatadine. Olopatadine hydrochloride is white crystalline powder. It is freely soluble in water [1].
Pharmacological action
Olopatadine hydrochloride is used to treat allergic conjunctivitis (itching eyes), as it inhibits the release of histamine from mast cells. It is a relatively selective histamine H1 antagonist that inhibits the in vivo and in vitro type 1 immediate hypersensitivity reaction including inhibition of histamine induced effects on human conjunctival epithelial cells [2].
Methods of determination
Spectroscopic methods: A novel simple, accurate, sensitive and economical spectrophotometric method has been established and validated for the determination of the antihistaminic drug, olopatadine hydrochloride in both pure form and eye drops [3]. The spectrophotometric method is divided into four procedures (A, B, C & D). The method is based on the oxidation of the studied drug by a known excess of KMnO4, followed by measuring the decrease in absorption (∆A) of KMnO4 in 2 M H2SO4 (A), in 0.1M NaOH (B) both at 504 nm or measuring the increase in absorption of added methyl orange in 0.1 M NaOH (C) at 443 nm or measuring the change of KMnO4 into green colour in 1M NaOH (D) at 605 nm. The detection limit is reported to be 1.05, 0.62, 0.40 and 0.60 µg/ml for procedures A, B, C and D, respectively showing a high degree of sensitivity. The proposed method was successfully validated according to FDA guidelines for the determination of the drug in eye drops with a highly precise recovery and very low relative standard deviation. Finally, the method was compared statistically with a reference method showing equal accuracy, reproducibility and no significant difference with the reported one.
Spectrophotometric determination of olopatadine hydrochloride in eye drops and tablets has been reported by [4]. In this studying, the validated three UV spectrophotometric methods have been proposed for the determination of olopatadine hydrochloride in different dosage forms (eye drops and tablets) and pure drug. Linear regression equation (LRE), standard absorptivity (SA) and first order derivative (FOD) method were validated for linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness according to ICH guideline to assure reliability of the developed methods.
Simultaneous determination of ketorolac tromethamine and olopatadine hydrochloride by Ultraviolet Spectrophotometry (Simultaneous equation method) is described by [5]. The method involves determination of ketorolac tromethamine at 320.0 nm and olopatadine hydrochloride at 206.0 nm. The % assay of the drugs was found to 98.99 ± 0.7619 and 99% ± 1.3228 for ketorolac tromethamine and olopatadine hydrochloride respectively. Validation of the proposed method was carried out for its linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD, and LOQ, according to ICH guidelines. The recovery of the ketorolac tromethamine and olopatadine hydrochloride were found to 100.18 ± 0.072167% and 99.55 ± 0.010516% for ketorolac tromethamine and olopatadine hydrochloride, respectively.
Application of alizarin red S as an ion-pair reagent has been used for the spectrophotometric determination of olopatadine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulation [6]. This method was based on the formation of (yellow) ion - association complex with alizarin red S as chromogenic reagent in acidic medium, which is extracted into chloroform. The complex has a maximum absorbance at 425 nm. All variables affecting the reaction were studied and optimized. The method was successfully applied to the determination of olopatadine hydrochloride in its pharmaceutical formulation.
UV spectrophotometric method was developed for the estimation of olopatadine hydrochloride from its ophthalmic dosage form by zero order (D°) derivative spectroscopic method [7]. The correlation coefficient of olopatadine hydrochloride is 0.999 and drug recovery is 99.95%. The developed UV spectrophotometric method was validated according to ICH guidelines with respect to accuracy, precision, ruggedness, specificity, LOD (0.213 µg/ml) and LOQ (2.133 µg/ml).
First order derivative spectroscopic method has been developed for the estimation of olopatadine hydrochloride and ambroxol hydrochloride in their mixture synthetic [8]. The wavelength maxima for olopatadine hydrochloride and ambroxol hydrochloride are 299.20 nm and 307.40 nm, respectively. For the first order derivative spectroscopic method, the Zero crossing points (ZCPs) for olopatadine hydrochloride and ambroxol hydrochloride were obtained at 299.80 nm and 307.20 nm respectively in the distilled water using Shimadzu 1800 UV-visible double beam spectrophotometer.
UV spectrophotometric estimation of olopatadine hydrochloride in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form by area under curve and second order derivative methods was developed [9]. In this method the standard and sample solutions of olopatadine hydrochloride were prepared in methanol. Olopatadine hydrochloride was estimated at 224 nm for the second order derivative UV - spectrophotometric method (A), while in area under curve (AUC) method (B) the zero order spectrum of olopatadine hydrochloride was measured in between 220 nm to 230 nm. These methods were tested and validated for various parameters according to ICH guidelines. The precision expressed as relative standard deviation were of 0.1311% and 0.5889% for the above two methods.
Chromatographic methods: Chromatographic analysis was carried out for olopatadine in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography [10]. In this paper, Box-Behnken design was utilized, and on the basis of the obtained models factor effects were examined.
A simple RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for rapid assay of olopatadine in pharmaceutical dosage form and wavelength was set at 246 nm [11].
A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry method was performed for determination of olopatadine concentration in human plasma [12]. The sample preparations were carried out by protein precipitation with the addition of acetonitrile followed by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate/dichloromethane after internal standard (IS, amitriptyline) spiking.
Stability indicating high-performance column liquid chromatography and high-performance thin-layer chromatography methods for the determination of olopatadine hydrochloride in tablet dosage form was performed [13]. This paper describes two simple methods for estimation of olopatadine hydrochloride (OLO) in tablet dosage form. The first method is a stability-indicating isocratic RP-HPLC method, precoated silica gel aluminum sheets were used as the stationary phase; the mobile phase was methanol-chloroform-ammonia.
Application of high performance liquid chromatographic technique for olopatadine hydrochloride and its impurity in ophthalmic solution was carried out [14]. The present work describes the ion pair RP-HPLC method for determination of olopatadine hydrochloride and its related substances. The separation of olopatadine hydrochloride and impurities were achieved at 220 nm.
Capillary electrophoresis method: A validated capillary electrophoretic method for the determination of olopatadine and its application to a pharmaceutical preparation of eye drops was performed [15]. The validated capillary zone electrophoretic method for the determination of olopatadine hydrochloride is described at pH 9.5, with 25 kV.
Miscellaneous methods: Voltammetric determination of olopatadine hydrochloride in Bulk drug form and Pharmaceutical Formulations was carried out [16]. The voltammetric behavior of olopatadine was investigated at hanging mercury drop electrode using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry.
Oxeladine Citrate
Oxeladine Citrate, 2-[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy] ethyl 2-ethyl-2-phenylbutanoate; 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid (Figure 2) [17].
Physical properties
Oxeladine citrate is white or almost white, crystalline powder. It is very soluble in water [17].
Pharmacological action
Oxeladine is a cough suppressant. It is a highly potent and effective drug used to treat all types of cough of various etiologies such as irrigative cough, allergic cough, psychogenic cough, cough in patients with heart disease, tracheitis, bronchitis and other conditions [18].
Methods of determination
Spectroscopic methods: A spectrophotometric method for the assay of some drugs including the oxeladine citrate that containing quaternary ammonium or tertiary amine moieties is described. The method is based on the interaction of these drugs with quercetin after its oxidation with N-bromo succinimide at 528-560 nm [19].
Chromatographic methods: Determination of oxeladine citrate in the presence of two of its degradation products by HPTLC and HPLC was performed [20]. Objectives of this study are hydrolytic and the oxidative degradation of oxeladin citrate, to prepare its alkaline induced hydrolytic degradation product, α,α-diethyl benzeneacetic acid and its N-oxide degradation product, diphenylmethoxy-N, N-dimethyl ethanamine N-oxide and to develop and validate HPTLC-densitometric and RP-HPLC methods for determination of oxeladin citrate.
High performance liquid chromatographic determination of oxeladin citrate and oxybutynin hydrochloride and their degradation products was carried out [21]. Two high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods are presented for the determination of OL and OB. The first method was based on HPLC separation of OL using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and phosphoric acid. The second method was based on HPLC separation of OB using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and potassium dihydrogen phosphate/diethyl amine. Quantitation was achieved with UV detection at 220 nm.
Determination of oxeladin in human plasma by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was described [22]. A capillary gas chromatographic method with mass-selective detection was developed for the determination of oxeladine in human plasma. Plasma samples were alkalinized and extracted using hexane:isoamyl alcohol.
Determination of oxeladine in human sera by gas-liquid chromatography with thermionic detection was carried out [23]. This paper describes a gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method developed for the determination of oxeladine in serum samples in bioavailability tests of oxeladine from tablet and linctus formulations.
Miscellaneous methods: Two novel potentiometric sensors were developed for the quantification of olopatadine hydrochloride and oxeladine citrate in pure forms, pharmaceutical preparations and human plasma [24]. The both sensors were fabricated on incorporating the olopatadine and oxeladine tetraphenylborate ion-pairs as electroactive materials in plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) matrix membranes with o-nitrophenyl octyl ether. They displayed Nernstian and near Nernstian responses over the concentration ranges of 1.0 × 10-5 - 1.0 × 10-2 mol L-1 oxeladine and olopatadine with cationic slopes of 60 and 50 mV decade-1, respectively. Detection limits were reported to be 4.4 × 10-6 and 5.0 × 10-6 mol L-1 while the response times were 3.0 and 18 seconds for oxeladine and olopatadine, respectively. The useful ranges of pH were 2.5-8.5 and 3.0-4.5 for oxeladine and olopatadine, respectively. The life extents were long (3 months) for both sensors. The sensors were successfully used for the assay of oxeladine and olopatadine in pharmaceutical dosage forms with a recovery of 100.0% for both drugs. Also the oxeladine sensor was used for the estimation of the drug in human plasma with an average recovery of 99.49%.
Plastic membrane, carbon paste and multiwalled carbon nanotube composite coated copper wire sensors for determination of oxeladin citrate using batch and flow injection techniques was described [25]. The proposed sensors in this work are three novel a PVC plastic membrane sensors, a carbon paste sensor and a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite coated copper wire sensor. The sensors are based on the oxeladin-phosphotungstate ion associate as electroactive material and dibutyl phthalate as solvent mediator.
Amlodipine Besylate
Amlodipine Besylate, is 3-ethyl 5-methyl 2-((2-aminoethoxy)methyl)-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-6-methyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate benzenesulfonate (Figure 3) [17].
Physical properties
Amlodipine besylate is a white crystalline powder. It is slightly soluble in water, and sparingly soluble in ethanol [17].
Pharmacological action
Amlodipine Besylate is the besylate salt of amlodipine, a synthetic dihydropyridine with antihypertensive and antianginal effects. Amlodipine inhibits the influx of extracellular calcium ions into myocardial and peripheral vascular smooth muscle cells, thereby preventing vascular and myocardial contraction. This results in a dilatation of the main coronary and systemic arteries, decreased myocardial contractility, increased blood flow and oxygen delivery to the myocardial tissue, and decreased total peripheral resistance [18].
Methods of the determination
Spectroscopic methods: A Spectrophotometric determination of amlodipine besylate (AMB) in pharmaceutical preparations using gresol red (GR) reagent was performed [26]. The proposed method is based on the formation of colored chloroform extractable ion-pair equal-molecular complexes of amlodipine with gresol red in britton pH 2 buffer. The extracted complexes showed absorbance maxima at 420 nm.
Spectrophotometric method of estimation of amlodipine besylate using hydrotropic solubilization was carried out [27]. The spectrophotometric method was based on using 2M urea solution as hydrotropic solubilizing agent for the estimation of poorly water-soluble drug amlodipine besylate. Various organic solvents such as methanol, chloroform, dimethyl formamide and acetonitrile have been employed for solubilization of poorly water-soluble drugs to carry out spectrophotometric analysis at 243 nm.
Native and synchronous spectrofluorimetric methods for simultaneous determination of amlodipine besylate/valsartan combination in tablets were used [28]. This study is based on two methods. The first method depends on measurement of native fluorescence intensity of both drugs at emission 460 nm and 385 nm using excitation 390 nm and 227nm for AM and VS respectively in water. The second method utilizes synchronous fluorimetric quantitative screening of the emission spectra of AM and VS at 375 and 285 nm, respectively using Δλ of 80 nm.
Sequential spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of amlodipine, valsartan, and hydrochlorothiazide in coformulated tablets was described [29]. In this method three techniques were used, namely, direct spectrophotometry, ratio subtraction, and isoabsorptive point. Amlodipine (AML) was first determined by direct spectrophotometry and then ratio subtraction was applied to remove the AML spectrum from the mixture spectrum. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) could then be determined directly without interference from valsartan (VAL) which could be determined using the isoabsorptive point theory.
Simultaneous spectrophotometric estimation of amlodipine besylate and telmisartan in tablet dosage form was described [30]. Two spectrophotometric methods for the determination of amlodipine besylate (AMB) and telmisartan (TEL) by simultaneous equation method and first order derivative method in combined dosage form. The simultaneous equation method is based on measurement of absorbance at 367 nm and 292 nm as two wavelengths selected for quantification of AMB and TEL. The second method is first order derivative based on the measurement of absorbance at 270 nm and 295 nm as two wavelength selected as for quantification of AMB and TEL.
Two spectrophotometric methods for the determination of amlodipine besylate [31]. These methods are based on the formation of an ion association complex between the drug and an acidic dye, bromothymol blue, which is extractable into chloroform (Method-A), or by the formation of an oxidative coupling product with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride (MBTH) in the presence of ceric ammonium sulphate (Method-B).
