L. Bhaskar Reddy et al., IJSID 2011, 1 (1), 33-40INTRODUCTIONLosartan Potassium (1-3) , 2-butyl-4-chloro-1-[[2’-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl) [1, 1’-biphenyl]-4-yl] methyl]-1Himidazole- 5-methanol mono Potassium salt. It is <strong>the</strong> first member <strong>of</strong> a new class <strong>of</strong> nonpeptideangiotensin II receptor antagonist. It is used to treat hypertension by suppressing <strong>the</strong> effects <strong>of</strong>angiotensin II at its receptors, <strong>the</strong>reby blocking <strong>the</strong> renin-angiotensin system. Losartan has beendemonstrated to be superior to previous peptide receptor antagonists and angiotensin convertingenzyme inhibitors because <strong>of</strong> its enhanced specificity, selectivity, and tolerability. Losartan potassium ismarketed alone or combined with hydrochlorothiazide.Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) (4, 5) is a thiazide class diuretic drug. This reduces <strong>the</strong> volume <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>blood, decreasing blood return to <strong>the</strong> heart. Hydrochlorothiazide is <strong>of</strong>ten used in <strong>the</strong> treatment <strong>of</strong>hypertension, congestive heart failure, symptomatic edema and <strong>the</strong> prevention <strong>of</strong> kidney stones. Therecommended dose <strong>of</strong> hydrochlorothiazide <strong>for</strong> treating high blood pressure is hydrochlorothiazide 25 mgto 50 mg per day.Enalapril maleate (6-8) is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), it works by relaxingblood vessels, causing <strong>the</strong>m to widen. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacksand kidney problems. Enalapril maleate is supplied as 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg tablets <strong>for</strong> oraladministration. Side effects are light-headed, fainting and urinating more or less than usual, fever, chills,body aches, flu symptoms, pale skin, easy bruising or bleeding. Figure-1 represents <strong>the</strong> chemicalstructure <strong>of</strong> three active ingredients.Losartan Potassium Hydrochlorothiazide Enalapril MaleateFigure-1: Chemical structure <strong>of</strong> Three active ingredientsThe literature reports many analytical <strong>method</strong>s were reported <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> quantization <strong>of</strong> Losartanand hydrochlorothiazide in tablets using HPLC and <strong>method</strong>s <strong>for</strong> enalapril maleate andhydrochlorothiazide <strong>for</strong>mulations by HPLC and <strong>method</strong>s <strong>for</strong> enalapril maleate and Losartan by HPLC.
