Abstract
Three new, precise, accurate and sensitive UV-Spectrophotometric methods namely Ratio Difference Spectroscopic Method (RDSM), First Derivative of Ratio Spectra Method (DR1) and Area Under Curve Method (AUC) were developed and validated for simultaneous assessment of alogliptin benzoate (ALO) and pioglitazone hydrochloride (PIO) in tablet dosage form. In RDSM, ratio spectra of both the drugs were recorded by dividing the mixtures using interfering drug as divisor. Then the difference between the amplitudes of obtained ratio spectra was measured at 288 and 291 nm for ALO and 236 and 245 nm for PIO. The second method DR1, where the first derivative of ratio spectra of both the drugs were recorded and the first derivative signal was measured at 290 nm for ALO and 276.8 nm for PIO. The scaling factor was fixed as 1 and wavelength interval (Δλ) as 2 for recording the first derivative of ratio spectra. In the third method (AUC), peak area of recorded zero order spectra was measured at 276 ± 10 nm for ALO and 267.8 ± 10 nm for PIO. All three proposed methods were validated according to “International Conference on Harmonization” (ICH) guidelines parameters. For all three methods, ALO and PIO obeyed Beer’s law in the range of 0.5-5 & 1.8-18 µg/ml, respectively. The % RSD of repeatability of measurement, intra-day and inter-day precision were found to be less than 2 for all three methods. Limit of detection (LOD) and Limit of quantification (LOQ) of the drugs were calculated which proved the sensitivity of the methods. The accuracy ranged between 98-101% for all three methods. No interference from pharmaceutical excipients present in the formulation was observed. These proposed methods were found to be simple, sensitive, accurate and precise and can be applied to the simultaneous estimation of ALO and PIO in combined tablet formulation and also appropriate for routine quality control analysis.
