ANALYTICAL METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION FOR SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF CLONIDINE HCL AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE IN TABLET Authors: Patel J , PATEL D, RAVAL U AND PATEL B
ABSTRACT
Simple, specific, accurate, precise and reproducible and robust method have been developed
and validated for the Simultaneous Estimation of Clonidine HCl and Hydrochlorothiazide in
tablet. The Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography, the chromatographic
system was equipped with Kromasil C18 column and UV detector set at 254 nm, in
conjunction with a mobile phase of 0.1M Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate buffer and
Acetonitrile in the ratio of 70:30 % v/v (pH 3.0, adjusted with 1% orthophosphoric acid) at a
flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. The described method was linear over a concentration range of 50-
300 ?g/mL for Clonidine HCl and Hydrochlorothiazide. The retention time of Clonidine HCl
was 5.230 ± 0.26 min and Hydrochlorothiazide was 2.458 ± 0.006 min. The % recoveries of
the both the drugs were found to be 99.32 % - 101.55 % and 99.69 % - 101.00 % for
Clonidine HCl and Hydrochlorothiazide respectively. Methods were statistically validated for
accuracy, precision, specificity, LOD, LOQ and robustness according to ICH guidelines and
can be used for analysis of combined tablet formulation. Clonidine HCL and
Hydrochlorothiazide were subjected to stressed conditions of acid degradation, base
degradation, oxidative degradation and thermal degradation under same chromatographic
condition. The stress samples were assayed on RP-HPLC system.
