Abstract

Nicardipine HCl as Monotherapy or in combination therapy for treating severe Angina and high blood pressure. Its mechanism involves the relaxation of blood vessels, thereby reducing the workload on the heart and lowering blood pressure. İt reduces myocardial oxygen demand by reducing after load and increasing myocardial oxygen supply through coronary vaso dilation. İn present study the solubility and release of the Nicardipine HCl in various solvents was examined based on solubility studies and the choice of solvent was determined by considering its solubility properties. Nicardipine HCl by comparison method. Nicardipine HCl is used to treat Angina, hypertension, arterial relaxation, vasodilation and so on. Currently Nicardipine HCl is marketed in different Novel drug formulations such as Nanoparticles, Capsules, Niosomes, Hydrogels for reducing blood pressure and many analytical techniques were used like HPLC, GC and GC-MS, LC-MS for carrying out the various quantitative and qualitative analyses are some examples of these developments. In this study, Nicardipine HCl was treated with various solvents like Methanol, Phosphate Buffers of PH 3.6 and 6.8. A method was developed and validated with validation parameters like Linearity, Accuracy, Precision, Specificity, LOQ, LOD etc., by using UV-Visible Spectroscopy. Results of the study revealed that Nicardipine HCl gives data about the Linearity, precision, accuracy of Nicardipine HCl gives Linearity 15-55μg/ml, Regression 0.998, LOD, LOQ. By carefully selecting suitable solvents, we successfully established a reliable and efficient method for determining and estimation of Nicardipine HCl by using Spectrophotometric method. Method was developed, optimized and Validated with its parameters
