ABSTRACT:

A new method was established for simultaneous estimation of Bicalutamide and Atenolol by RP-HPLC method.  The chromatographic conditions were successfully developed for the separation of Bicalutamide and Atenolol by using Agilent C18 5µm (4.6*250mm) column, flow rate was 1ml/min, mobile phase ratio was Water: ACN (70:30%v/v), detection wave length was 254nm.

 

KEYWORDS: Agilent C18, Bicalutamide and Atenolol, RP-HPLC method. 

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION:

Bicalutamide is a Non-steroidal anti-androgen receptor It competitively inhibits the action of androgens by binding to cytosol androgen receptors in the target tissue3

 

Structure:

 

 

Bicalutamide

 

IUPAC Name: N-[4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-[(4-fluorobenzene)sulfonyl]-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide

Chemical formula:   C18H14F4N2O4S

Molecular weight: 430.373gm/mol

 

Atenolol ATL is a cardio selective β blocker It is reported to lack intrinsic sympathomimetic activity and membrane stabilizing properties This drug is used to treat numerous cardiovascular disorders for example hypertension angina pectoris cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction It is official in USP IP and BP”1&2

 

Structure:

 

Atenolol

IUPAC Name:  2-(4-{2-hydroxy-3-[(propan-2-yl)amino]propoxy}phenyl)acetamide

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Materials:

Bicalutamide and Atenolol API was a gift sample by Celon Pvt Ltd., Hyderabad

 

Instrument:

The separation was carried out on HPLC system 2695 (Waters) with Waters Quaternary pump, PDA detector (2998), Waters Empower software.

 

Preparation of the individual Bicalutamide standard preparation:

10mg of Bicalutamide working standard was accurately weighed and transferred into a 10ml clean dry volumetric flask and about 2ml of DMF is added. Then it is sonicated to dissolve it completely and made volume upto the mark with the diluent (Stock solution).  Further 10.0 ml from the above stock solution is pipette into a 100 ml volumetric flask and was diluted upto the mark with diluent.3

 

Preparation of the individual Atenolol standard preparation:

10mg of Atenolol working standard was accurately weighed and transferred into a 10ml clean dry volumetric flask and about 2ml of DMF is added. Then it is sonicated to dissolve it completely and made volume upto the mark with the diluent (Stock solution).  Further 10.0 ml from the above stock solution is pipette into a 100 ml volumetric flask and was diluted upto the mark with diluent.5

 

Preparation of Sample Solution :(Tablet)

Accurately 10 tablets are weighed and crushed in mortar and pestle and weight equivalent to 10 mg of Atenolol  and Bicalutamide   (marketed formulation) sample into a 10mL clean dry volumetric  flask and  about 7mL of Diluents  is added  and sonicated  to dissolve it completely and made volume upto the mark with the same solvent.  (Stock solution) Further 3 ml of above stock solution was pipetted into a10ml volumetric flask and diluted up to the mark with diluent.4

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS:

Wavelength Detection:7

The detection wavelength was chosen by dissolving the drug in mobile section to induce a amount of 10μg/ml for individual and mixed standards. The ensuing resolution was scanned in U.V vary from 200-400nm.  The overlay spectrum of Bicalutamide and beta-adrenergic blocking agent was obtained and also the isobestic purpose of Bicalutamide and beta-adrenergic blocking agent showed absorbance’s maxima at 254nm. The spectrums are shown in Fig. 2

 

Method Validation:

Accuracy:

The accuracy study was performed for five hundredth, 100 percent and a hundred and fifty you look after Bicalutamide   and beta-adrenergic blocker. every level was injected in triplicate into natural action system. the realm of every level was used for calculation of twenty-two recovery.8

 

Acceptance criteria:

The % recovery for each level should be between 98.0 to 102.0 %

 

Linearity:

The one-dimensionality study was performed for the concentration of 100ppm to 500ppm and 1ppm to 5ppm level. Every level was injected into action system. the world of every level was used for calculation of correlation.8

Precision:

Repeatability:

To check the Repeatability variation of the method, standard concentration was subjected to the proposed HPLC method of analysis. The precision of the proposed method i.e. the Repeatability in the peak area of the drug solutions was calculated in terms of percent RSD. A statistical evaluation revealed that the relative standard deviation of drugs at different concentration levels for 6 injections was less than 2.0. The results for intra-day precision were presented in Table 3 respectively.8

Limit of Detection and Limit of Quantification:8

LOD and LOQ were determined by using the formula based on the standard deviation of the response and the slope. LOD and LOQ were calculated by using equations, LOD = 3.3 × σ / s and LOQ=10×σ/S., The results were presented in Table 10.  

 

Where 

σ = Standard deviation of the response   

S = Slope of the calibration curve
