ABSTRACT
The combination of teneligliptin hydrobromide hydrate and pioglitazone hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations has improved type 2 diabetes management. Two chromatographic methods TLC-densitometry and RP-HPLC were developed for simultaneous quantification of teneligliptin hydrobromide hydrate and pioglitazone hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations, ensuring accuracy and stability assessment. The TLC method uses a mobile phase of methanol, toluene, ethyl acetate and triethylamine (1:7:2:0.1, v/v/v/v) on TLC silica gel plates, scanned at 268 nm. The RP-HPLC method employs isocratic elution with acetonitrile and sodium acetate buffer (adjust pH 3.6 with glacial acetic acid, 60:40 v/v) on a shimpack C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 µm), detected at 235 nm. Both methods offer high accuracy and reliability, making them valuable for pharmaceutical quality control. Additionally, an environmental impact assessment was conducted using eco-scale, Analytical Greenness Metric Approach, Green Analytical Procedure Index, and national environmental method index to evaluate solvent consumption, waste generation and energy usage. Statistical comparisons (t-tests and F-tests) validate the outcomes of both methods, ensuring their effectiveness in drug formulation analysis. These methods can enhance pharmaceutical quality control while fulfilling environmental responsibilities.
