USP Method for Felodipine ER Tablets

This method presents the USP Felodipine Extended-Release Tablet assay using the Cogent RP C18. As shown in the chromatogram with a five injection overlay, the peak efficiency is superb and USP peak tailing guidelines are easily met with the Cogent RP C18™ column.  This demonstrates a great alternative Column for easy plug and play or alternate for this USP Method.

Note: Felodipine is a calcium channel blocker and acts primarily on vascular smooth muscle cells by stabilizing voltage-gated L-type calcium channels in their inactive conformation. Felodipine prevents myocyte contraction by binding to calcium-binding proteins, which exhibits competitive antagonism of the mineralcorticoid receptor. This event results into inhibiting the activity of calmodulin-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase and blocking calcium influx through voltage-gated T-type calcium channels. This reduces movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels and increases supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
