The aim of the work was to develop a «green» and extraction-free spectrophotometric procedure for the assay of rosuvastatin in tablets. The present work describes three new spectrophotometric procedures (A, B and C) that can be utilized for routine quality control of rosuvastatin in laboratories.
Materials and methods. Analytical instrumentation: Shimadzu UV-1800 double beam UV-vis spectrophotometer (Japan) with attached UV-Probe ver. 2.62 software, RAD WAG AS 200/C precise analytical balance (Poland). Rosuvastatin calcium (purity ≥98 % (HPLC)) was bought from Sigma-Aldrich Chemicals Co. (St. Louis, MO, USA). Rosuvastatin 10 mg tablets were acquired from a nearby drugstore. All solvents used in this study, including methanol, ethanol, chloroform, acetonitrile and ethyl acetate, were produced by Honeywell and had a purity of 99.9 %. BCG, BCP and BTB were acquired from Sigma-Aldrich Chemicals Co. (USA, St. Louis). All chemicals utilized in the experiment were of analytical purity.
Results and discussion. New simple «green» and extraction-free spectrophotometric procedures for assay of rosuvastatin in tablets involve the formation of ion-pair complexes with sulphophtalein dyes (BCG (Method A), BCP (Method B), BTB (Method C)) have been developed. The absorbances of the coloured reaction products were registered at 405 nm (Method A) and 400 nm (Methods B, C). The concentration was linearly proportional to absorbance values in the range of 2.51-20.08 μg/mL (method A), 2.50-24.90 μg/mL (method B) and 2.51-12.56 μg/mL (method C). Estimation of LOD and LOQ parameters were obtained as 0.67 μg/mL and 2.23 μg/mL (Method A), 0.39 μg/mL and 1.32 μg/mL (Method B), 0.30 μg/mL and 1.01 μg/mL (Method C). The stoichiometric ratio of the reactive components of rosuvastatin - BCG, BCP, and BTB corresponded 1: 1. The %RSD values of intra-day and inter-day were obtained less than < 1.5 %, which showed excellent repeatability and RE % data was ≤ 3 %. The effect on the environment of the proposed spectrophotometric procedures and their compliance with the GAC principles were endorsed by the output of AGREE, GAPI, and AES metrics tools. The values of these three «green» metrics show that the proposed spectrophotometric procedures had a low environmental impact compared with the reported ones.
Conclusions. The developed fast, simple and cost-effective methods A, B, and C can be used for routine analysis of rosuvastatin in tablets
