NEED FOR THE STUDY:
Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease where elevated arterial pressure causes pathological changes in the vasculature and hypertrophy of the left ventricle. As consequence, hypertension is the principal cause of stroke, leads to disease of coronary arteries with myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death, and is a major contributor to cardiac failure, renal insufficiency, and dissecting aneurysm of the aorta [1].
Amiloride is potassium sparing diuretic acts by affecting Na+ reabsorption in the cortical collecting duct. It specifically blocks the apical membrane epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC). The reduced rate of Na+ reabsorption diminishes the gradient that facilitates the K+ secretion. In addition to their effect on distal Na+ and K+ transport, it inhibits H+ secretion by the late distal tubule and late collecting duct [2].
Hydrochlorothiazide is thaizide diuretic consisting benzothaidiazine ring acts in the distal convoluted tubule where they block Na+ - Cl- cotransport. Na+ - Cl- cotransport occurs in luminal surface of the distal convoluted tubules. Thus, to exert its diuretic action hydrochlorothiazide must reach the luminal surface of the distal convoluted tubules. At higher dose sometimes it exerts carbonic anhydrase inhibition [2].
High blood pressure and water retention are the causes of the congestive heart failure. Hence the goal of medical treatment should be to decrease blood volume and fluid retention which can lower the blood pressure. Therapeutic options available are diuretics, rennin inhibitors, ganglion blockers, vasodilators. Diuretics are the drugs which act by changing the electrolyte level in blood. The major side effects of diuretics are imbalance in electrolyte level in blood like hypokalemia. Combination of Hydrochlorothiazide and Amiloride is the diuretic therapy that work together to keep electrolyte level in balance. Hydrochlorothiazide, while effective, often causes low potassium level in blood. On the other hand Amiloride is “potassium sparing diuretic” which can increase potassium level in the blood. Thus this combination levels the electrolyte balance [3].
There are few analytical methods reported for simultaneous estimation of Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide. Investigation of simple analytical methods is in need for the quantitative estimation of these drugs in combination in pharmaceutical dosage form.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE :

Ø  Kakde RB, Kotak VH, Barsagade AG, Chaudhary NK, Kale DL developed spectrophotometric method for estimation of Amlodipin besylate and Bisoprolol fumarate in pharmaceutical preparation using 10 % methanol as a solvent at two wavelengths 222 nm and 365 nm by simultaneous equation method [8].
Ø  Maitreyi Z, Amit K proposed validated RP-HPLC method for simultaneous estimation of Atenolol and Hydrochlorothiazide in pharmaceutical dosage forms by using Zorbax SB-CN (250 x 4.6 mm), 5μm column in isocratic mode with mobile phase, water: buffer: methanol (50:35:15). The flow rate was 1.2 ml/min. The peak purity of Atenolol and Hydrochlorothiazide were 0.999 and 1.000 respectively. The percentage relative standard deviation was below 2.0 % [9].
Ø  Pratik D, Das SN, Mahapatra SK, Annapurana MM developed UV spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous estimation of Hydrochlorothiazide and Ramipril in bulk and its pharmaceutical dosage forms. UV spectra were measured at 212 and 226 nm for Hydrochlorothiazide and Ramipril. That obeyed linearity at range of 1.25-40 mg/ml and 0.5-16 mg/ml [10]
Ø  Nagavalli D, Vaidhyalingum V, Shantha A, Shankar AS, Divya O proposed simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of Losartan potassium, Amlodipin besylate and Hydrochlorothiazide in pharmaceuticals by chemometric method and calibration were constructed using the absorption data matrix to the concentration data matrix. The range of measurement was 230.5-350.4 nm. The linearity range was found to be 8-40, 1-5 and 3-15mg ml-1 for Losartan potassium, Amlodipin besylate and Hydrochlorothiazide respectively [11].
Ø  Ankit BC, Rakesh KP, Sunita AC, Krupa VG developed estimation of Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide in pharmaceutical dosage forms by absorption ratio method and linearity was found to be in the range of 2-20 μg/ml. The molar absorptivity for both the drugs were calculated at two wavelengths 270.5 nm and 231.5 nm respectively [12].
Ø  Sridharan D, Thenmozhi A, Rajamanikam V, Sundarnandavalli S, Planikumar B developed simultaneous estimation of Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide by UV spectroscopy using multicomponant mode of analysis by concept of standard addition. The linearity of Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide was found in the range of 10-26 and 5-13µg/ml at wavelength 234 and 272 nm respectively [13].
Ø  Vrushali T, Vijya V, Ujjwala K, Sashikant D developed novel UV spectrophotometric method for estimation for Ramipril and Hydrochlorothiazide by simultaneous equation and area under curve method. The first method include the measurement of absorbance at 210 and 270 nm for Ramipril and Hydrochlorothiazide and other method of AUC includes measurement of AUC under wavelength range 202-237.5 and 247-289 nm for ramipril and hydrochlorothiazide [14].
Ø  Toral M, Stefnaia P, Silvia Q, Pablo R developed simultaneous determination of Amiloride and Furosamide by first digital derivative spectroscopy method. The determination was carried out at 241.4 and 343.6 nm for furosamide and amiloride respectively. The determination range was found to be of 6.9 × 10-8 to 16× 10-5 and 6.8 × 10-8 to 8× 10-5 respectively for furosamide and amiloride [15].
Ø  Sane RT, Bale VR, Nayak VG and Ladge KD worked on the development of RP-HPLC method for separation of Hydrochlorothiazide, Amiloride hydrochloride and Atenolol using C-18(10 µm , 300×4.6 mm) column and methanol, water, glacial acetic acid, triethylamine (22+78+01+0.1 v/v) as a mobile phase. The flow rate was maintained 1 ml/min and detection was carried out at 273 nm[16].
Ø  Jain R amd Jain CL developed RP-HPLC method for quantitative analysis of Hydrochlorothiazide and Enalapril maleate in pharmaceutical dosage form. Composition of mobile phase used was water, methanol, phosphoric acid (90-10-0.1 v/v) and C-18 (10 µm , 300×3.9 mm) column was used. Detection was done at 215 nm initially and 272 nm after 5 minutes or 205 nm throughout the analysis[16].
