4. INTRODUCTION OF DISEASE [1]
4
Stage 2 hypertension is defined as a systolic BP of ≥140 mmHg
diastolic BP of ≥90 mmHg.
A combination of healthy lifestyle changes and BP-lowering
medication (two first-line agents of different classes) is the
recommended care plan for patients with stage 2 hypertension. If
patient’s BP goal is met after one month of treatment, they can be
reassessed in 3-6 months.
If BP goal has not been achieved after one month of treatment, a
different medication or titration should be considered along with
monthly follow-ups with their physician until BP is controlled.
5. INTRODUCTION OF DRUG
(EFONIDIPINE HYDROCHLORIDE ETHANOLATE) [2]
5
Efonidipine hydrochloride ethanolate, sold under the trade name
Landel. It is a CCB with long-lasting vasodilator actions and little reflex
tachycardia.
Efonidipine hydrochloride ethanolate improves endothelial function in
patients with hypertension when compared with doses of nifedipine that
result in comparable decreases in mean blood pressure Therefore, we
hypothesized that Efonidipine hydrochloride ethanolate therapy may
simultaneously improve endothelial dysfunction, adipocytokine profiles,
and other metabolic parameters in nondiabetic patients with
hypertension.
MoA : This drug inhibits the L-type and T-type calcium channels,
thereby leading to vasodilation and decreased automaticity of the heart.
Efonidipine hydrochloride ethanolate exerts negative chronotropic
effects, decreasing heart rate. Acting on SA node cells by inhibiting T-
type calcium channel activity, Efonidipine prolongs the late phase-4
depolarization of the sinoatrial node action potential, decreasing heart
rate.
6. INTRODUCTION OF DRUG (TELMISARTAN) [3]
Telmisartan, sold under the trade name Micardis among others, is a
medication used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and diabetic
kidney disease. It is a reasonable initial treatment for high blood pressure.
It is taken by mouth. Versions are available as the combination
telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide and telmisartan/amlodipine.
Common side effects include upper respiratory tract infections, diarrhea,
and back pain. Serious side effects may include kidney problems, low blood
pressure. It is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist and works by blocking
the effects of angiotensin II.
MoA : Telmisartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting
effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II
to the AT1 receptor in many tissues, such as vascular smooth muscle and
the adrenal gland.

8. INTRODUCTION OF ANALYTICAL METHOD [4-12]
Analytical chemistry is divided into two branches:
Qualitative: A qualitative analysis provides information about the identity of
atomic or molecular species or functional groups in sample.
Quantitative: A quantitative analysis provides numerical information as to the
relative amount of one or more of these components.
Analytical methods development and validation play important roles in the
discovery, development and manufacture of pharmaceuticals with the objectives. To
qualify and quantify the active pharmaceutical ingredients in bulk as well as
dosage form To establish impurity profile and limit of allowable impurities in
dosage form.

INTRODUCTION OF HPLC METHOD
HPLC is an analytical technique widely used for identification, separation, detection
and quantification of various drugs and its related degradants.
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), is a separation technique based
on a solid stationary phase and a liquid mobile phase. Most of the drugs in multi-
component dosage forms can be analysed by HPLC method because of the several
advantages like rapidity, specificity, accuracy, precision and ease of automation in
this method. HPLC method eliminates tedious extraction and isolation procedures.
Principle of separation:
The principle of separation in normal phase mode and reverse phase mode is
adsorption. When mixtures of components are introduced in to a HPLC column,
they travel according to their relative affinities towards the stationary phase. The
component which has more affinity towards the adsorbent travels slower. The
component which has less affinity towards the stationary phase travels faster. Since
no two components have the same affinity towards the stationary phase, the
components are separated.
10. CONT…..
Different modes of separation in HPLC:
1) Normal phase mode.
2) Reverse phase ion pair chromatography.
3) Reversed phase mode.
4) Size exclusion chromatography.
10
11. Method development by RP-HPLC
11
Reversed-phase chromatography is the mainly used in chromatographic
mode, it is used to separate neutral molecules in solution based on their
hydrophobicity.
As the name suggested that, reversed-phase chromatography is the
reverse of normal-phase chromatography in the intelligence that it involves
the employ of a polar mobile phase and a non-polar stationary phase.
It ensures that a decrease in the polarity of the mobile phase results in a
decreases in solute retention.
14. VALIDATION OF ANALYTICAL METHOD [6-16]
14
Validation is a process of establishing documented evidence, which
provides a high degree of assurance that a specific activity will
consistently produce a desired result or product meeting its
predetermined specifications and quality characteristics.
It is an act of proving that any Procedure, process, equipment, material,
activity or System Perform as expected under given set conditions and
also give required accurate result.
15. 15
The Discussion of the Validation of analytical procedures is directed to the
four most common types of analytical procedures.
Identification tests
Quantitative tests for impurities content
Limit tests for the control of impurities
Quantitative tests of the active moiety in samples of drug substance on drug
product on other selected components in the drug product
Various validation parameters are available to validate the method :
Precision
Accuracy
Linearity
Range
Limit of Detection
Limit of Quantification
Selectivity
Specificity
Robustness
16. Introduction of stability indicating method [21]
16
Stability indicating method is Quantitative analytical methods that are based
on the characteristic structural, chemical or biological properties of each active
ingredient of a drug product and that will distinguish each active ingredient
from its degradation products so that the active ingredient content can be
accurately measured.
The purpose of Stability testing is to provide evidence on how the quality of a
drug substance or Product varies with time under the influence of a variety of
environment factor such as temperature, humidity , and light.
Importance of stability indicating analytical method :
To determine the self life of the drug and drug product.
To determine the storage condition of product.
To identify reaction which are involved in the degradation of a product.
To establish the retest period for the drug product.
17. Cont........

Force Degradation Studies:
It is technique where different stress condition are applied over drug
substances and which in turn different degradation product are produced.
These studies are called as stress degradation studies.
These method are mainly used for determination of stability of molecule under
accelerated conditions.
1. Hydrolytic degradation
Acid hydrolysis.
Basic hydrolysis .
2. Oxidative degradation.
3. Thermal degradation.
4. Photolytic degradation.

21. Drug profile of Telmisartan [23]
INTRODUCTION
CAS Number 144701-48-4
Description
Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB)
used in the management of hypertension. Generally,
angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) such as telmisartan
bind to the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors with high
affinity, causing inhibition of the action of angiotensin II on
vascular smooth muscle, ultimately leading to a reduction in
arterial blood pressure. Recent studies suggest that
telmisartan may also have PPAR-gamma agonistic properties
that could potentially confer beneficial metabolic effects.

The developed RP-HPLC method was specific, simple, sensitive, precise,
accurate and robust, for the detection of Efonidipine Hydrochloride
ethanolate and Telmisartan in synthetic mixture.
The proposed method is quite simple and do not require any pre-
treatment of the drug and tedious extraction procedure.
The method has a wider linear dynamic range with good accuracy and
precision.
So the proposed method is used for the routine analysis of Efonidipine
Hydrochloride ethanolate and Telmisartan in pharmaceutical quality
control.
