Abstract

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a common condition that is characterized by having a higher amount of pressure in your blood vessels than normal. Hypertension (HT) is a very common disorder, particularly past middle age. It is not a disease in itself, but is an important risk factor for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. For improvement activity of hypertension, Azelnidipine and Chlorthalidone newer combination in market,which is effective in Hypertension. This combination was developed to improve medication for Stage II Hypertension. Azelnidipine is Ca2+ channel blocker and chemically 3- [1- (Benzyldrylazetidin-3-yl] 5-isopropyl- 2- amino6methyl-4-(3- nitrophenyl)-1, 4- dihydropyridine-3,5dicarboxylate. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic used to treat hypertension or edema caused by heart failure, renal failure, hepatic cirrhosis, estrogen therapy, and other conditions and Chemically 2-chloro-5-(1-hydroxy- 3-oxo- 2H-isoindol-1-yl) benzenesulfonamide. This Review focuses on recent development in analytical method development for Azelnidipine and Chlorthalidone, and there was no any method reported for this combination. It provides information about different analytical method development like UV spectrophotometry, HPLC, HPTLC, LC-MS methods reported for Azelnidipine and Chlorthalidone for individual and other drug combination.

Introduction

Azelnidipine is dihydropyridine derivative and chemically 3-[1-(Benzyldrylazetidin-3-yl] 5-isopropyl-2- amino6methyl-4-(3- nitrophenyl)-1, 4-dihydropyridine-3,5dicarboxylate [1]. Azelnidipine category is Dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. Azelnidipine calcium channel blocker. Azelnidipine inhibits trans-membrane Ca2+ influx through the voltagedependent channels of smooth muscles in vascular walls. It is a vasodilator that induces a gradual decrease in blood pressure in hypertension. When calcium channels are blocked, the vascular smooth muscle does not contract, resulting in relaxation of vascular smooth muscle walls and decreased blood pressure [1, 2]. It is used in Treatment of Hypertension which lowers the Blood Pressure due to Block calcium Channel and Decreases Blood Pressure and oral dose is 8 – 16 mg once daily [3-7]. It metabolized in hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and has no active metabolite product [8].

Chlorthalidone is 2-chloro-5-(1-hydroxy-3-oxo-2H-isoindol-1-yl) benzene sulfonamide. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic used for the treatment of hypertension and for management of edema caused by conditions such as heart failure or renal impairment. Chlorthalidone improves blood pressure and swelling by preventing water absorption from the kidneys through inhibition of the Na+/Cl− symporter in the distal convoluted tubule cells in the kidney. The exact mechanism of chlorthalidone’s anti-hypertensive effect is under debate; however, it is thought that increased diuresis results in decreased plasma and extracellular fluid volume, decreased cardiac output and therefore overall reduction in blood pressure [9].

Physical and Chemical Property

Azelnidipine is light yellow to yellow crystalline powder. IUPAC name is 3-[1- (Benzyldrylazetidin- 3-yl] 5-isopropyl- 2- amino6methyl- 4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1, 4- dihydropyridine-3,5dicarboxylate.

Analytical Method Development

Analytical method development and validation assume fundamental part in the drug discovery, drug advancement and assembling the pharmaceutical products. It includes identification of the purity and toxicity of a drug substance. Analytical method development is the process of selecting an accurate assay procedure to determine the composition of a formulation. It is the process of proving that an analytical method is acceptable for use in laboratory to measure the concentration of subsequent samples Analytical methods should be used within GMP and GLP environments and must be developed using the protocols and acceptance criteria set out in the ICH guidelines Q2(R1). Analytical method development and Validation play important roles in the discovery, development, and manufacture of pharmaceuticals. The following Literature Survey reveals that there is no any singe method was reported for Azelnidipine and Chlorthalidone Combination. However, UV Spectrophotometry, RP –HPLC, HPTLC, Stability indicating RP-HPLC methods, UFLC reported for Azelnidipine and Chlorthalidone individual and along with other drugs. (Table 1-4)
