Spectrophotometric and spectrodensitometric determination of triamterene and xipamide in pure form and in pharmaceutical formulation.
Sensitive and validated UV-spectrophotometric, chemometric and TLC-densitometric methods were developed for determination of triamterene (TRM) and xipamide (XIP) in their binary mixture, formulated for use as a diuretic, without previous separation. Method A is the isoabsorptive point spectrophotometry, in which TRM concentration alone can be determined at its λ(max) while XIP concentration can be determined by measuring total concentration of TRM and XIP at their isoabsorptive point followed by subtraction. Method B is the ratio subtraction spectrophotometry, where XIP can be determined by dividing the spectrum of the mixture by the spectrum of TRM (as a divisor) followed by subtracting the constant absorbance value of the plateau region, then finally multiplying the produced spectrum by the spectrum of the divisor, while TRM concentration can be determined at its λ(max). Method C is a chemometric-assisted spectrophotometry where classical least squares, principal component regression, and partial least squares were applied. Method D is a TLC-densitometry; this method depends on quantitative densitometric separation of thin layer chromatogram of TRM and XIP using silica gel plates at 254 nm. The proposed methods were successfully applied for the analysis of TRM and XIP in their pharmaceutical formulation and the results were statistically compared with the established HPLC method.
