Chromatographic assay of recently approved co-formulation of Vonoprazan fumarate with low dose Aspirin: AGREE, Complex MoGAPI, and RGB 12-model assessments

Abstract

Abstract Two simple, valid and green chromatographic based techniques are developed in the present work for first time to simultaneously analyze the recently approved combination of Aspirin (ASP) with the novel gastro-protective agent Vonoprazan (VON). First method is an HPLC-DAD “diode array detection”, where separation was successful using C18 (250 × 4.6 mm) column with isocratic elution of phosphate buffer-pH 6.8 and acetonitrile in ratio of 63:37 with detection at 230 nm. Second method is an HPTLC method on HPTLC silica plates using ethyl acetate: ethanol (75%): ammonia (5:5:0.05 v/v) mobile phase followed by densitometric scanning at 230 nm. The methods were applied successfully for analysis of VON and ASP mixture in laboratory-prepared tablets and the methods were validated in regards to linearity, precision, accuracy and selectivity. The proposed methods are assessed for their greenness and whiteness as well using the “Analytical GREEnness Metric Approach”, “Complementary Modified Green Analytical Procedure Index” and the new algorithm “RGB 12 model” (Red-Green-Blue) and proved the greenness and the sustainability of the methods in the routine assay of the newly marketed formulation.
