SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF GLIMEPIRIDE, PIOGLITAZONE HYDROCHLORIDE AND METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE BY DERIVATIVE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY METHOD
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The simple and accurate method of analysis to determine Glimepride (GLM), Pioglitazone hydrochloride (PIO) and Metformin hydrochloride (MET) in combined dosage forms was developed using second-derivative spectrophotometry and. GLM, PIO and MET in combined preparations (tablets) were quantified using the second-derivative responses at 233.4 nm for GLM, 265.4 nm for PIO and 252.6 nm for MET in spectra of their solutions in methanol. The calibration curves were linear [correlation coefficient (r) = 0.9990 for GLM, 0.9990 for PIO and 0.9990 for MET] in the concentration range of 5-25 μg/ml for GLM, 5–25 μg/ml for PIO and 2–12 μg/ml for MET. The method was validated and found to be accurate, precise, and specific. The method was successfully applied to the estimation of GLM, PIO and MET in combined tablet formulations.
