A fast, green, sensitive, and accurate analytical method using high‐performance liquid chromatography couple with fluorescence detection was established and validated for the simultaneous determination of amlodipine besylate and celecoxib in their recently approved fixed‐dose combination tablets (1:20). Separation of the two drugs was achieved on C18 reversed‐phase column (Thermo ODS Hypersil, 4.6 × 250 mm, particle size 5 µm) using acetonitrile:potassium phosphate buffer (50 mM; pH 5.5, 60:40 v/v) as a mobile phase at 40°C, which eluted at a rate of 1 mL/min. Detection was carried out with excitation and emission wavelengths of 360 and 446 nm for amlodipine and 265 and 359 nm for celecoxib, respectively. The method was linear over a concentration range of 0.05‐2 and 0.05‐10 µg/mL and limit of detection reached to 0.017 and 0.0167 µg/mL for amlodipine and celecoxib, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied to assess the cited drugs in their newly FDA approved fixed‐dose combination tablet dosage form. Furthermore, the method was found to be sensitive and eco‐friendly green alternative to the reported methods as it was evaluated according to the green analytical procedure index tool guidelines and analytical Eco‐Scale.
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.
