Stability indicating eco-friendly HPLC method development and validation for the estimation of bisoprolol fumarate and telmisartan

Background

Telmisartan and bisoprolol fumarate together are two medications that diminish arterial pressure. The current study comprises an evaluation of the proposed methodology's greenness regarding the HPLC method used to govern the medication mixture regardless of dose form A novel stability suggesting HPLC method's environmental effect was evaluated using the greenness metrics. Stress conditions comprising acidic, alkaline, oxidative, thermal, and photolytic degradation were applied for both of the medications.

Results

The RP—HPLC method employing a reversed-phase C₁₈ column with a gradient approach, the HPLC chromatography was carried out. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile, methanol, and phosphate buffer (60:35:5, %v/v/v), with the stationary phase being the Unisphere C₁₈ column Agela Tech. The RP-HPLC method uses UV detection at 224 nm with chromatographic purification spanning linearities of 2.5–12.5 μg/mL for bisoprolol fumarate and 40.0–200.0 μg/mL for telmisartan, correspondingly. The procedure is accurate and precise, as demonstrated by an outcome that % RSD inside the permissible range. Additionally, various stressors were introduced to the medications. The approach's green credentials with respect to solvent utilization, chemical substances, expenditure of energy, and waste formation have been verified by the greenness data collected during the evaluation. No chromatographic or spectrum impediments caused by formulation additives have been observed.

Conclusion

Bisoprolol fumarate and telmisartan could be measured simultaneously using the devised RP-HPLC method, which was simple, quick, sensitive, accurate, precise, linear, and stability indicating. The proposed approach showed ecological friendliness, robustness, sensitivity, and ease of use. As a result, the devised method could be applied to the regular quality checking of tablets and bulk medications.
