| Summary: | Aim. We aimed to develop and validate fast, simple, accurate, robust and rugged chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of bisoprolol fumarate and enalaril maleate in solid pharmaceutical dosage form, with using chaotropic strong chaotropic perchlorate anions in composition of mobile phase. Materials and methods. Fast simple HPLC method for simultaneous determination of bisoprolol and enalapril in solid pharmaceutical dosage forms was developed, with perfect peak symmetries eluting at 4.7 and 5.2 miutes, with mobile phase composed of methanol and diluted perchloric acid pumped with 1ml/min on Zorbax Rx C8 250x4.6mm, 5um column thermostated at 42 °C, and monitored UV signal at 214nm. Mobile phase was composed of 55%methanol and 45% perchloric acid (0.07%v/v). Results. Usage of presence of perchloric anions showed very useful role in peak shape and chromatogram view, due to distinguished chaotropic characteristics of perchlorate anions on molecules containing nitrogen atoms in molecular structures of analytes, in acidic pH environment. Linearity was examined and proven at different concentration levels in the range of working concentration of bisoprolol (20–200 ug/ml) and enalapril (20–200 ug/ml). The methods achieved very good validation parameters, with determined LOQ about 0.032 mg/ml and LOD about 0.003 mg/ml for bisoprolol, and LOQ about 0.045 mg/ml and LOD 0.005 mg/ml for enalapril. The high value of recoveries obtained for bisoprolol and enalapril indicates that the proposed method was found to be accurate. Conclusion. A new fast and simple, but selective, accurate, precise and robust HPLC method for simultaneous determination of bisoprolol and enalapril in tablets was developed and many possible variations of the same were suggested. The developed method for the simultaneous quantification of bisoprolol and enalapril from solid dosage formulations offers simplicity essential for quality control of a large number of samples in short time intervals, which is necessary for routine analysis.
