The objective of present investigation was to develop and validate assay methods for simultaneous estimation of quinapril hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide in combined dosage form by using three different analytical approaches viz. UV, FT-IR and RP-HPLC. Drugs were estimated by dual wavelength method and calibration curve methods by using UV and FT-IR spectrophotometer, respectively. The stability indicating assay method was developed by using HPLC. The stress degradation study was carried out according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guideline Q1A (R2). Chromatographic separation was carried out on HIQ-Sil (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) column using 0.01 M KH2PO4 buffer (pH 3.5, adjusted with orthophosphoric acid): methanol as mobile phase in gradient elution mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
