Nebivolol is used for treatment of hypertension through vascular endothelial nitric oxide

releasing capabilities and β1- antagonist action [4-6]. It is highly cardio selective under certain

circumstances. Nebivolol is unique as a beta-blocker. Unlike carvedilol, it has a nitric oxide

(NO) potentiating vasodilatory effect. The vasodilatation mechanism of nebivolol is shown in the

Figure-5.3. Along with labetalol, celiprolol and carvedilol, it is one of four beta blockers to cause

dilation of blood vessels in addition to effects on the heart. However, recent studies question the

clinical relevance of this property to nebivolol efficacy. Nebivolol lowers blood pressure (BP) by

reducing peripheral vascular resistance, and significantly increases stroke Volume with

preservation of cardiac output. The net hemodynamic effect of nebivolol is the result of a balance

between the depressant effects of beta-blockade and an action that maintains cardiac output.

Antihypertensive responses were significantly higher with nebivolol than with placebo in trials

enrolling patient groups considered representative of the U.S. hypertensive population, in Black

patients, and in those receiving concurrent treatment with other antihypertensive drugs.

In the available literature, many analytical procedures have been reported for the

quantitative determination of nebivolol in pure form as well as in pharmaceutical dosage

formulation by different analytical techniques like HPLC [7-31], spectrophotometry [32-43].

B.S.Sastry et.al [19] proposed reverse phase HPLC method for the determination of

nebivolol in pharmaceutical preparations. The drug was chromatographed on a C-18 column

using a mixture of water and methanol in the ratio (40:60) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0

ml/min. Bavita Gaur et.al [21] proposed HPLC method for simultaneous estimation of nebivolol

and indapamide in their combined tablet dosage form. The chromatographic method was

standardized using a base deactivated silica (BDS) hypersil C18, 250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5µ column

with isocratic conditions using mobile phase containing potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate

buffer(pH 3.5), triethyl amine: acetonitrile in the ratio (40:0.5:60) at a flow rate of 1 ml/min

using UV detector at 286. A simple, sensitive, precise, accurate and specific high performance

thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC)method has been developed and validated for simultaneous

estimation of nebivolol and hydrochlorothiazide in tablets by Patel Satish Ambalal et.al[30]. The

stationary phase used was precoated silica gel 60F254 plate. The mobile phase was methanol:

chloroform: toluene: triethylamine (2.0:5.0:2.8:0.2, v/v/v/v). The detection of spots was carried

out densitometrically using a UV detector at 284 nm in absorbance mode. The method is based

upon determination of nebivolol at 281 nm and hydrochlorothiazide at 316.5 nm, in aqueous

methanol (20 % v/v). Absorbance Ratio spectrophotometric method was developed by RK.Patel

and JB. Patel [38] for simultaneous estimation of nebivolol HCl (NEB-H) and

hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in bulk as well as in the pharmaceutical formulation. The method

uses the ratio of absorbance at two selected wavelengths, one which is an isoabsorptive point and

Page 5: Chapter-5 Determination of nebivolol and its related ...shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/22707/10/10_chapter 5.pdf · Nebivolol hydrochloride is a white to almost white

other being the λ-max of one of the two components. Nebivolol HCl and hydrochlorothiazide

have shown an isoabsorptive point at 287 nm in methanol. The second wavelength used is 271

nm, which is λ-max of hydrochlorothiazide. A new, simple, accurate and sensitive UV-

spectrophotometric absorption correction method has been developed for simultaneous

determination of nebivolol and hydrochlorothiazide in combined pharmaceutical dosage form by

PS Tarte et.al [41].

Nebivolol does not exist officially in any pharmacopoeia. A few reports are available in

literature on nebivolol drug, since this drug is being marketed in domestic and international

market. Though large number assay methods are available in literature for nebivolol, only very

few of them are standard, sensitive and selective. In view of the importance of nebivolol in drug

formulation in the treatment of various hypertension diseases, a more simple, sensitive, selective

and robust method is needed for its validation in bulk drug formulations. All the reported

methods used for the determination of nebivolol in bulk and formulations but there is no reported

method for the determination of nebivolol and its related impurities. We are now reporting a

simple sensitive and selective RP-HPLC method for the validation of nebivolol and its related

impurities which is a robust and rugged method.

5.2 Experimental:

5.2.1 Chemicals, Reagents and Samples:

The standard and samples of nebivolol and known related substances of nebivolol,

such as desfuoro impurity [1-(chroman-2-yl)-2-(2-(6fluorochroman-2-yl)-2-

hydroxyethylamino)ethanol hydrochloride], related compound-A [2S*{1R*,5R*(S*)}]-α, α`-

[Iminobis(methylene)] bis [6-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-methanolhydrochloride]

Page 6: Chapter-5 Determination of nebivolol and its related ...shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/22707/10/10_chapter 5.pdf · Nebivolol hydrochloride is a white to almost white

and benzylated impurity [2,2`-(Benzylazanediyl)bis(1-(6-fluorochroman-2yl)ethanol)oxalate]

were received from Bio-Leo analytical labs, Hyderabad. HPLC grade methanol, acetonitrile,

potassium hydrogen phosphate, and potassium hydroxide were purchased from Merck, Mumbai,

India. High purity water was prepared by using Millipore Milli-Q plus water purification system.

The purity of all samples and impurities used in this study was greater than 99.0%.

5.2.2 Instrumentation:

For initial method development studies Waters prominence HPLC system was employed.

This was equipped with a quaternary UFLC LC-20AD pump, DGU-20A5 degasser, SPD-M20A

diode array detector, SIL-20AC auto sampler, CTO-20AC column oven and CBM-20A

communications bus module. Agilent 1200 series with high pressure liquid chromatographic

instrument provided with Auto sampler and VWD UV detector with thermostatted column

compartment connected with EZ Chrom software was employed for the validation of the drug

and its related impurities. The analysis was carried out on Kinetex C18, 75 cm x 4.6 mm column

with 2.6µm particle size.

5.2.3 Standard and Sample solutions

5.2.3.1. Preparation of standard solution

Accurately weighed and transferred 22.0 mg of nebivolol working standard into a 200 ml

clean and dry volumetric flask. To this, 120 ml of diluent were added, sonicated to dissolve and

finally made up the volume with diluent. 5 ml of this solution was further diluted to 100 ml with

diluent to get the working solutions.

Page 7: Chapter-5 Determination of nebivolol and its related ...shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/22707/10/10_chapter 5.pdf · Nebivolol hydrochloride is a white to almost white

5.2.3.2 Sample preparation

50 mg of nebivolol sample were weighed exactly and transferred into 50 mL clean and dry

volumetric flask and added 30 mL of diluent sonicated to dissolve for about 20 minutes and

made up the volume with diluent. The solution was filtered through 0.45 micron filter.

5.3 Evaluation of system suitability:

The system suitability was evaluated by injecting a known volume of sample containing a

known amount of nebivolol into chromatograph and calculated the number of theoretical plates

and asymmetry of the chromatogram. The number of theoretical plates was found to be greater

than 3000 and the tailing factor of nebivolol was calculated as not more than 2.0 which showed

that the selected column is suitable for the analysis.

5.4 Results and discussion:

5.4.1 Method development and optimization:

The method development was initiated with solubility study of nebivolol. Based on the

studies, acetonitrile: water (1:1v/v) was chosen as diluent for the preparation of sample solutions.

Nebivolol is polar in nature due to presence of –OH groups. Hence, a non polar C18 column

containing octadecyl chemically bonded to porous silica stationary phase was selected for

developing reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The nebivolol solution has a

pH 5.2.Therfore a buffer solution of pH about ±2.0 with respect the observed pH 5.2 is most

suitable for validation study. Hence buffer solution of pH 3.4 was chosen for chromatographic

studies. From the molecular structure, it was concluded that, there are chromophore groups

(double bonds) present in nebivolol, hence there is possibility for its UV–Visible detection. The

Page 8: Chapter-5 Determination of nebivolol and its related ...shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/22707/10/10_chapter 5.pdf · Nebivolol hydrochloride is a white to almost white

UV experiment performed nebivolol showed that nebivolol shows maximum absorbance at

280nm.

To arrive at the optimal chromatographic conditions suitable for the validation of nebivolol

and its related impurities, various trail chromatograms were recorded with different conditions.

Trail-1

The trail-1 was performed by using isocratic mode using buffer and acetonitrile in the ratio

(80:20v/v) as mobile phase. The other conditions are as follows

Column : Kinetex C18 column (75 x 4.6 mm; 2.6µ) particle size

Pump mode : Isocratic

Flow rate : 1.0 ml/min

Detection wavelength : UV , 280 nm

Injection Volume : 10µl

Run time : 23 min

Buffer : 3.4g of tetra butyl ammonium hydrogen sulphate were dissolved in

1000ml of HPLC grade water.(pH-3.4)

Mobile phase : Buffer : Acetonitrile (80:20V/V)

In this trail there was no elution of nebivolol and its related impurities peaks up to a run time of

50 minutes.

Trail-2

To over the limitations of the above trail method, the experiment was repeated by using a

second mobile phase (mobile phase-B) in the form of acetonitrile and water in the ratio 80:20 v/v

and remaining conditions same as above.

Page 9: Chapter-5 Determination of nebivolol and its related ...shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/22707/10/10_chapter 5.pdf · Nebivolol hydrochloride is a white to almost white

Column : Kinetex C18 column (75 x 4.6 mm; 2.6µ) particle size

Pump mode : Gradient

Flow rate : 1.0 ml/min

Detection wavelength : UV , 280 nm

Injection Volume : 10µl

Run time : 23 min

Buffer : 3.4g of tetra butyl ammonium hydrogen sulphate were dissolved in

Mobile phase-B : Acetonitrile : Water (80:20V/V)

In this trail nebivolol peak was eluted at 10.85 and well separated from its related impurities but

impurities could not separate.

Trail-3

To achieve separation of impurities of nebivolol the compositions of both mobile phase-A

and mobile phase-B were changed. The buffer solution (pH 3.4) and acetonitrile in the ratio

95:5(v/v) was used as mobile phase-A and a 95:5 (v/v) mixture of acetonitrile and water was

taken as mobile phase-B.

Column : Kinetex C18 column (75 x 4.6 mm; 2.6µ) particle size

Pump mode : Gradient

Flow rate : 1.0 ml/min

Detection wavelength : UV , 280 nm

Injection Volume : 10µl

Run time : 23 min

Buffer : 3.4g of tetra butyl ammonium hydrogen sulphate were dissolved in

1000ml of HPLC grade water.(pH-3.4)

Mobile phase-A : Buffer : Acetonitrile (95:5V/V)

Mobile phase-B : Acetonitrile : Water (95:5 V/V)

In this trail all related impurities and nebivolol were well separated with excellent peak shapes.

Intermediate precision also called as ruggedness .The intermediate precision is the inter-day

variation. It is defined as the degree of reproducibility obtained by following the same procedure

as mentioned for method precision experiment. The ruggedness of test method was demonstrated

by carrying out precision study in six preparations of sample, a single batch sample by different

analysts, different columns, on different days and using different instruments and calculating the

percentage of impurities. The RSD % of impurities from six spiked sample preparations was ≤

5.5.4 Accuracy:

The accuracy of the proposed method was tested by preparing sample solutions with known

quantities of impurities of nebivolol at the level of LOQ, 50%, 100%, 150% and 200% of target

concentration (i.e. 0.5% of test concentration).The chromatograms were recorded and the

recovery percentages were evaluated from the peak areas. The results are shown in Table-

5.5.6 Robustness:

The robustness of an analytical method is a measure of its capacity to remain unaffected

by small changes but deliberate variations in method parameters and provides an indication of its

reliability during normal usage. The study was carried out with respect to change in flow rate,

column temperature. The chromatographic conditions were maintained same as per test method

in each case. From the obtained results, it was observed that there was no much variation in

retention time, theoretical plates and asymmetry for nebivolol peak, obtained at different

deliberately varied conditions from the test method. Hence it can be concluded that the method is

robust for all the varied conditions. The complete robustness results are shown in Table-5.17.

Column Temperature changed to 30°C 54747 1.02

5.5.7 Solution Stability:

The stability of sample solution was tested by recording the chromatograms of freshly

prepared sample solutions of nebivolol at different time intervals i.e. after 24 hours and 48 hours

by keeping the sample temperature at 25°C. It was noticed that no much variation in the % of

impurities and related compound-A. From this observation, it was concluded that sample

solution was stable for 48 hours at ambient temperature (25°C). The solution stability results are

shown in Table-5.18

5.5.8 Limit of Detection and Limit of Quantification:

The detection limit and limit of quantification of nebivolol and related impurities were

determined by diluting known concentrations. The simplest method to calculate limit of

detection and limit of quantification is signal to noise ratio method. The quantification limits and

detection limits of nebivolol and its impurities are given in Tables 5.19 and 5.20.
