Objective: To develop and validate a simple and accurate cost-effective titrimetric me thod according to International Conference Harmoniz ation (ICH) guidelines for acetic acid content in Amlodipi ne Besylate. Methods: The titration based on general acid-base reaction t o form water and salt. Sodium hydroxide act as a st rong base and titrated against weak acid (acetic acid). Phenolphthalein used as an indi cator and colorless to pink is the endpoint. Sodium hydroxide is standardized with primary standard potassium hydrogen phthalate. Results: The method was linear in the range of 0.75 to 30.25 μg/ml with a correlation coefficient 0.9999. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) value were found to be 0.61 and 1.85 μg/ml, respectively. The percentage recovery ( 98.20–99.97%) and percentage relative standard deviation (%RSD) is less than 2% within th e acceptable limit of ICH guidelines. The robustness and ruggedness results were excellent. Method is accurate and precise, no interference fro m excipients. Conclusion: A new analytical titrimetric method was developed a nd validated as per ICH guidelines for the determin ation of acetic acid content in amlodipine. This proposed method applied for routin e analysis of acetic acid content in bulk and pharm aceutical formulations of amlodipine besylate.
