YOSPRALA is newly designed tablet which effective in cardiovascular as well as gastrointestinal protection due to its immediate release of Omeprazole (40 mg) and delayed release of Aspirin (81 mg) or (325 mg) dose strength. Yosprala was approved by USFDA in Sept 2016 for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent & Omeprazole is proton pump inhibitor therefore it is made to develop a new analytical method for Simultaneous estimation of Aspirin and Omeprazole using Mehtanol as a solvent on the basis of solubility. The maximum Absorption (λ max) of Aspirin and Omeprazole was found at 276 and 301 respectively. Linearity range for aspirin was given at 10-50 μg/ml with %RSD value 0.997 and Omeprazole was 2-10 μg/ml with %RSD value 0.997. The method was validated for precision and % RSD was found less than 2.0 for both aspirin and omeprazole. The proposed method was statistically validated for standard deviation, relative standard deviation, coefficient of variance and the results were within the range. Hence the above method was simple, cheap, cost effective, economical, and robust.
Yosprala; Aspirin; Omeprazole; UV spectroscopy; λ max
Aspirin is an antipletelet agent while omeprazole is proton pump inhibitor used in combination for treatment of stroke and other cardiovascular disease. On extensive literature survey it was found that very few methods are reported for Simultaneous estimation of Aspirin and Omeprazole in combined dosage form by any analytical technique. These methods were developed on single Aspirin only or combination with other drugs by using UV spectroscopy in tablet dosage form, hence i was decided to develop a new method which having accurate, precise, economical, rapid and cost effective (Figure 1) [1].
Figure 1: Aspirin.
Aspirin [2-(acetyloxy) benzoic acid], acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase which results in the inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. It also inhibits platelet aggregation and is used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis (Figure 2) [2].
Figure 2: Omeprazole.
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used in the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GORD/GERD), Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome.
Omeprazole is entirely metabolised by the hepatic cytochrome P-450 system (CYP), mainly in the liver. Identified metabolites in plasma are the sulfone, the sulfide and hydroxyomeprazole [3].
Simultaneous equation method is used where a sample contains two absorbing drugs (X and Y) each of this absorbance λmax of each other, it may be possible to determine both the drugs by the technique of simultaneous equation method.
Chemicals and reagents
The bulk drug of pure Aspirin powder was obtained from Alta laboratories, Mumbai and Omeprazole from Blue Cross Laboratories, Nasik. Yosprala tablets were procured from local market. All chemicals and reagents of analytical grade were purchase from Merck Chemical, Mumbai, INDIA
Instrument
A double beam Shimadzu UV-visible spectrophotometer model 1800 with UV probe software was used for absorption measurements.
Solubility
As per solubility studies it was found that both the drug sample are freely soluble in methanol.
Determination of λ max of individual component
An appropriate aliquot portion of ASP (0.5 mL) and OMZ (0.1 mL) were transferred to two separate 10 mL volumetric flasks, the volume was made up to the mark using 80% v/v methanol to obtain ASP (50 μg/mL) and OMZ (10 μg/mL). Drug solutions were scanned separately between 200 nm to 400 nm [4].
The overlain spectrum of both drugs having concentrations 130 μg/ mL ASP and 16 μg/mL OMZ was recorded and two wavelengths 276.0 nm (λ max of ASP) and 301.0 nm (λ max of OMZ) were selected for further study [5].
Preparation of standard stock solutions of ASP and OMZ
A) Aspirin standard stock solution [A]: An accurately weighed quantity of ASP (10 mg) was taken in 10 mL volumetric flask and dissolved in methanol (8 mL) with the help of ultrasonication for about 10 min. Then the volume was made up to the mark using methanol to get Aspirin standard stock solution (1 mg / mL) [6].
B) Omeprazole standard stock solution [O]: An accurately weighed quantity of OMZ (10 mg) was taken in 10 mL volumetric flask and dissolved in methanol (8 mL) with the help of ultrasonication for about 10 min. Then the volume was made up to the mark using methanol to get Omeprazole standard stock solution (1 mg / mL) (Tables 1, 2 and Figures 3-6) [7-9].
