Smart mathematically filtered UV spectroscopic methods for quality assurance of rosuvastatin and valsartan from formulation

Abstract

Valsartan and rosuvastatin together in a binary form have been utilized to reduce hypertension and hyperlipidemia to control cardiovascular complications. This study depicts the simple three mathematically manipulated UV spectroscopic techniques for the estimation of rosuvastatin and valsartan in the formulation. The first method is simple UV absorption at 310 nm by RST and the first derivatization method for VTN. Determining the magnitude difference of a ratio spectrum at two identified wavelengths is the second approach, and determination of the magnitude of the first derivatives of the ratio spectra of RST and VTN constitute the third technique. The selection of wavelengths, divisor concentrations, and peak amplitudes were optimized and validated. The straight line was constructed in the range of 1–30 and 2–25 µg/ml for RST and VST by the normal and first derivatization method. By using the magnitude difference and magnitude of first derivative ratio spectra approaches, the concentrations of 1–12 and 2–25 µg/ml for RST and VTN, respectively, displayed a straight line. The limit of quantification was less than 1 µg/ml for RST and less than 2 µg/ml for VTN. It was eventually found that the accuracy, expressed as a percentage recovery, ranged between 98.94 and 99.55% for RST and 100.36 and 101.08% for VTN. The % RSD did not exceed 1.82 and 1.91 for RST and VTN, respectively. The three techniques were used to accurately measure RST and VTN in their binary formulations and physically mixed solutions, and the results were statistically compared to the previously published HPLC technique. The outstanding recovery achieved by using the authentic standard addition approach validated the methods’ supplemental accurateness. The Analytical Greenness and Red Green Blue procedures verified the eco-friendliness of the suggested UV spectroscopic approaches, which were also found to be superior to the documented HPLC methods.
