Abstract: |
Many COVID-19 sufferers have a history of cardiovascular illnesses, which makes them more likely to
develop severe COVID-19. Such patients were advised by experts to prioritize drug therapies based
on their doctor’s commendations to avoid exacerbating their basic illnesses. Therefore, developing
an analytical methodology for the concurrent estimation of medications prescribed for co-treating
cardiovascular and COVID-19 illnesses is becoming critical in both bioavailability hubs and QC units.
Herein, an inventive, rapid, and affordable HPTLC approach was developed, and its conditions were
optimized employing the full factorial design approach for the concurrent estimation of aspirin,
atorvastatin, atenolol, losartan, remdesivir, and favipiravir as co-administered medications, either with
salicylic acid or not. Using the desirability function, the experimental design approach could forecast
the best eluent system for optimal resolution results. On HPTLC-silica plates, the above-mentioned
medications were separated utilizing an eluent system of ethyl acetate, methylene chloride,
methanol, and ammonia (6:4:4:1 by volume), and their spots were detected at 232 nm. The proposed
methodology was evaluated following ICH prerequisites and applied successfully to the medications’
dosage forms, human plasma, and buffered dissolution media with superb recovery proportions and
no intrusiveness from formulations’ additives or plasma matrices. Five metrics were employed to
appraise the suggested technique’s greenness: AGREE, eco-scale, Raynie and Driver, GAPI, and NEMI.
The sensitivity, large sample capacity, and short run duration (15 min) of the proposed methodology
confirm its appositeness for regular estimation of the above-mentioned medications.
