A concise review on analytical profile of chlorthalidone

Abstract

Chlorthalidone (CHL) is an anti-hypertensive that reduces active sodium reabsorption and peripheral vascular resistance. Also, it is a diuretic commonly known as a thiazide diuretic. Due to the huge amount of use of CHL in different dosage forms for the management of hypertension, it needs qualitative and quantitative estimation in the pharmaceutical and biological formulation. Therefore, the main objective of this analysis of CHL in the pharmaceutical and biological formulation is in both qualitative and quantitative terms. In this review article, we have summarized UV/Vis Spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), Ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), etc. based methods for estimation of chlorthalidone. In addition to that, we have discussed the bioanalytical methods for CHL analysis. In conclusion, this review article will help to research scholars for further method development for drug estimation in pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological fluids.
