Simultaneous determination of amlodipine and telmisartan from pharmaceutical products by way of capillary electrophoresis
Journal Title: Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 29, Issue 1
Abstract
A rapid, simple and sensitive capillary zone electrophoresis method was developed for the simultaneous determination of amlodipine besylate and telmisartan, in fixed-dose combinations, through the utilization of a UV photodiode array detector. Electrophoretic parameters such as buffer concentration and pH, system temperature, applied voltage and injection parameters, were optimized in order to improve the efficiency of the separation. The best results were obtained when employing fused silica capillary (48 cm length X 50µm ID) and 50 mM phosphate buffer electrolyte at pH 4.50, + 25 kV applied voltage, as well as 25°C system temperature. The separation was achieved in approximately 3 minutes, with a resolution of 4.90, while the order of migration was amlodipine followed by telmisartan. The analytical performance of the method was verified with regard to linearity, precision and robustness. In addition, the limit of detection and the quantification were calculated.

Serous microcystic adenoma of the pancreas
A new case of serous microcystic adenoma in a 75-year-old man is presented. The tumor sized 55x45x55 mm was located in the body and the tail of the pancreas. It was well-circumscribed and spongy on cross-section, with ec...
The use of gold and gold alloys in prosthetic dentistry – a literature review
Gold is a noble metal with very good chemical resistance. It also does not become oxidized in water or air. Pure gold has a bright yellow color and shine, and it is a heavy, but soft metal with huge plasticity and ductil...
Amphetamine in illegally produced phenylethylamine – intentional action or failed synthesis of a designer drug
On the Polish „drug scene”, the products containing very low amounts of amphetamine offered as „pure” amphetamine are increasingly common. Occasionally, 1-phenylethylamine (1-PEA) is added to these products. The concentr...
Osteoporosis – causes, epidemiology and symptoms
Osteoporosis is an extensive disease of the skeletal system, causing a decrease in the mineral density of bones and a disruption of their microarchitecture. Progressing pathological changes lead to increased bone brittle...
