Cetirizine dihydrochloride
Experimental procedure
Materials
Equipment
The electrical balance (Mettler Toledo #AB54, Columbus, USA), pH meter (Mettler
Toledo MP 220, Columbus, USA), UV-Visible 1601 Shimadzu double-beam
spectrophotometer, 1-cm rectangular quartz cells, deionizer (Stedec CSW-300,
Lahore, Pakistan), and distillation unit (GFL Type 2001/2, Germany) were used.
The Shimadzu HPLC system (Kyoto, Japan) equipped with an LC-10 AT VP pump,
DGU-14 AM online degasser, Rheodyne manual injector fitted with a 20-lL loop,
column, and SPD-10 A VP UV–VIS detector were used. The chromatographic
system was integrated via a Shimadzu model CBM-102 Communication Bus
Module to PIV computer. Shimadzu CLASS-GC software (Version 5.03) was used
for data acquisition and mathematical calculations.
Methods
UV-visible spectrophotometry
Solution preparations
ranging from 1 to 9, and from these primary solutions; stock solutions of 0.1 mmol
were prepared. Working standard solutions with a concentration of 0.01 to 0.1 mmol
were prepared by diluting the appropriate amount of stock solution in the same buffer.
HPLC
phase had no effect on the H2 receptor antagonist but only increased the retention
time of cetirizine. The pH effect showed that optimized conditions are reached when
the pH value is 3.5, producing well-resolved and sharp peaks for all drugs assayed.
Wavelength selection
Chromatographic conditions
Methanol:water (80:20) was the simplest mobile phase for rapid and simultaneous
estimation of cetirizine with H2 receptor antagonists. Propyl paraben was chosen to
be the internal standard, eluting out at 5.5 min. The retention times were found to be
2.5 min for the H2 receptor antagonists and 3.5 min for cetirizine, with a flow rate
of 1 mL/min.
Sample preparations
Assay in formulations
Assay in serum
Plasma samples obtained from healthy volunteers were collected and stored frozen.
To 1 mL of plasma, 10 mL of acetonitrile was added. The mixture was vortexed for
Med Chem Res
1 min, then centrifuged for 10 min at 10,000 rpm. The supernatant was filtered by a
membrane filter with a pore size of 0.45 lm. An aliquot serum sample was fortified
with each drug to achieve the final concentration.
These solutions were stored at –20°C. For the analysis of each sample, five
concentration levels ranging from 33.3 to 3.33 lg/mL were prepared, and 10 lL of
solution was injected and chromatographed. From this, linearity and percentage of
relative standard deviation (%RSD) values were evaluated.

was found to be 265 nm at pH 1 and 4, whereas 284 nm was observed at pH 7.4 and
9, respectively.
These drugs were estimated using simultaneous equation. Molar absorptivities
were used for calculating the quantities of these drugs in a solution of unknown
concentration. The absorption maximum of ranitidine was found to be at 225 nm,
which overlapped the maximum of cetirizine (231 nm). Therefore, after application
of the second-derivative (Fig. 2) spectrophotometric method, the different absoption
maxima for cetirizine and ranitidine were recorded at different pH levels.
The calibration curves also were found to be linear within the concentration
range of 0.01 to 0.1 mmol/L for cetirizine and ranitidine. The procedure was found
to be simple, rapid, and reliable. In all the cases, the coefficient of variance was
found to be not more than 2%.
Specificity
For linearity studies, six different mixture concentrations (33.33, 16.66, 13.33, 10,
6.66, 3.33 lg/mL) of each drug, in presence of the internal standard were assayed.
The linearity of the method was observed within the expected concentration range,
demonstrating its suitability for analysis. The standard curve, slope, intercept, and
correlation coefficient were determined. For calculation of the standard curve, plots
of the peak areas against the concentration were used. The regression statistics LOD
and LOQ are shown in Table 1.
The intraday precision and accuracy of the method were evaluated at three different
independent concentrations, namely, 30, 25, and 20 lg/mL by adding known
quantities of the analyte to the drug product. The result for accuracy showed that the
method was accurate for all the above mentioned purposes.
The method passed the test for repeatability, as determined by %RSD for the area
of the peaks of six replicate injections at a 100% test concentration. The results for
intermediate precision are shown in Table 2.
Robustness
±0.1-unit pH change of about 3.50 (pH of the mobile phase) had no considerable
impact on chromatographic performance.
The developed method was applied to determine different drug contents in marketed
formulations. The assay results shown in Table 3, demonstrate the suitability of the
method. The similarly of the %recoveries and the r2 of the drugs in the presence of
serum exhibited in Table 4 show the applicability of the method for therapeutic
purposes.

Moreover, our method was found to be widely applicable and reproducible. For
the above mentioned reasons, together with analysis time, ease of operation, and
widespread availability of commercial instruments with derivative capability, the
described procedures offer a distinct advantage over other techniques. Furthermore,
the findings confirm the suitability of these procedures for routine analysis of
cetirizine and H2 receptor antagonist mixtures and for the purpose of controlling the
pharmaceutical dosage of these drugs.
Discussion
Concerning the choice of drugs, cetirizine and H2 receptor antagonists were selected
for their importance in the therapeutic field. Because one of the studies showed
synergism between hydroxyzine or cetirizine and cimetidine in suppressing the
histamine-induced cutaneous response, it was concluded that this synergistic effect
was due to the pharmacokinetic interaction between the two drugs (Braggio et al.,
1996). No evidence of additional benefit from coadministration of famotidine with
acrivastine, cetirizine, and loratadine in the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria
was observed (Chen et al., 1994).
In another study, coadministration of hydroxyzine with cimetidine resulted in
significantly increased serum hydroxyzine concentrations and increased wheal and
Med Chem Res
flare suppression, thus confirming the rationale for a trial of these medications
administered concomitantly to some patients with chronic urticaria unresponsive to
treatment with an H1 antagonist alone. It was concluded that there is no therapeutic
rationale for coadministering cetirizine with cimetidine for the treatment of urticaria
and that these medications may be coadministered safely without fear of medication
interaction (Nilgun et al., 1999). However, this synergistic effect was not found in
all the studies (Estelle et al., 1995; Cook and Shuster, 1983).
Based on the first part of the study, a simultaneous RP-HPLC was developed and
validated for the determination of cetirizine in the presence of H2 receptor
antagonists. Propylparaben was selected as an internal standard because it is
commercially available and used mostly as a preservative in tablets. The
chromatographic method was validated by assessing linearity, accuracy, selectivity,
limit of quantitation, and precision. Analytical development and validation studies
demonstrated that this method for assay of cetirzine and H2 receptor antagonists was
linear, selective, and quantitative. The method was free of interference from
excipients. It was used to evaluate the possible in vitro interactions between
cetirizine and H2 receptor antagonists.
In the second part of the study, the UV-visible spectroscopic technique was used
to study the interactions. For this reference, standards of all the drugs in different
buffer mediums were run, and epsilon values were calculated. These values were
used later to calculate the possible interactions between the drugs, and results were
compared with those of HPLC. From the results, it was clearly evident that no
interactions occurred in any of the buffers, and no change in percentage of
availability values were observed.
Although this research did not attempt to investigate the in vivo studies, the
current method could be applied successfully to the study of samples involving in
vivo subjects. From the current study, it also is suggested that the synergistic effects
produced by the combination of these drugs should be studied at the receptor or
enzyme level.
Conclusion
After all the results obtained by HPLC studies had been analyzed, it was concluded
that the current method is fast and easy to perform, has low LOD and LOQ values,
shows a high percentage of recoveries, and is linear up to a wide range of
concentrations. Moreover, on the basis of interaction results obtained from both
techniques, it was concluded that no interaction occurred between cetirizine and H2
receptor antagonists.
