Validation of a Novel RP-HPLC Technique for Simultaneous Estimation of Lignocaine Hydrochloride and Tibezonium Iodide: Greenness Estimation Using AGREE Penalties

Abstract

Herein, we reported an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of tibezonium iodide (TBN) and lignocaine hydrochloride (LGN). The method was developed according to the International Conference for Harmonization guidelines (ICH) Q2R1 using Agilent® 1260 with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer (pH 4.5) in a volumetric ratio of 70:30 and flowing through a C8 Agilent® column at 1 mL/min. The results revealed that TBN and LGN peaks were isolated at 4.20 and 2.33 min, respectively, with a resolution of 2.59. The accuracy of TBN and LGN was calculated to be 100.01 ± 1.72% and 99.05 ± 0.65% at 100% concentration, respectively. Similarly, the respective precision was 100.03 ± 1.61% and 99.05 ± 0.48%. The repeatability for TBN and LGN was found to be 99.05 ± 0.48% and 99.19 ± 1.72%, respectively, indicating that the method was precise. The respective regression co-efficient (r2) for TBN and LGN was found to be 0.9995 and 0.9992. Moreover, the LOD and LOQ values for TBN were 0.012 and 0.037 µg/mL, respectively, while for LGN, they were 0.115 and 0.384 µg/mL, respectively. The calculated greenness of the method for ecological safety was found to be 0.83, depicting a green contour on the AGREE scale. No interfering peaks were found when the analyte was estimated in dosage form and in volunteers’ saliva, depicting the specificity of the method. Conclusively, a robust, fast, accurate, precise and specific method was successfully validated to estimate TBN and LGN.

“…This drug is used to reduce pain during some medical operations. [5][6][7] Raising the threshold for electrical excitation in nerves causes numbness in the mouth, throat, or nose before these procedures. [5][6][7] By decreasing the spread of nerve impulses and lowering the pace at which action potentials rise, it successfully prevents the creation and conduction of nerve impulses.…”
