Abstract:
In this communication, the results reported by correlated studies of FTIR spectroscopy and photoluminescence present the degradation of losartan potassium (LP), in absence and in presence of the excipients, induced by the UV light, the acid character of tampon phosphate (TP) and the alkaline medium. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of LP of the drug marked under the name Lorista (LO) is characterized by intense emission bands, peaked at 378 nm and 380 nm, respectively, accompanied by low intensity bands having maxima at 450-460 nm [1]. The photodegradation process of LO in solid state is highlighted by a decrease in the intensity of the PL band located at 380 nm, variation which origins both in the adsorption of water vapors from air and the interaction of LP with the excipients [1, 2, 3, 4]. The influence of acide and alkaline medium, respectively, on the LO degradation is analyzed using tampon phosphate (TP) and NaOH solutions. The intensity diminution of the PL spectra of NaOH-reacted LP and LO is the result of the formation of the photodegradation product C16H15N5O2 [1]. With the help of FTIR spectroscopy we have highlighted the appearance of the IR band at 1740 cm-1 [1, 5, 6] and the absorbance increase of the IR band at 1423 cm-1 [1, 7, 8]. In our opinion, the photodegradation product contains the C=O and C-OH functional groups.
