So far, no documented method for simultaneously analyzing lesinurad (LND) and febuxostat (FBX) has been reported for either traditional high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) or a green HPTLC technique. In order to determine LND and FBX simultaneously in commercially available fixed-dose combo tablets, this study devised a normal-phase HPTLC method that is fast, sensitive, and green. The green eluents for the simultaneous analysis of LND and FBX were a mixture of ethyl acetate:ethanol:water at 70:20:10 (v/v/v) ratio. The new approach’s greenness was predicted utilizing four distinct greenness tools: the National Environmental Method Index, Analytical Eco-Scale, ChlorTox, and Analytical GREENness approaches, and the results revealed a significantly greener profile. The current method operated on a linear scale between 30 and 1,000 ng·band−1. It was confirmed that the current approach is sensitive, accurate, precise, robust, and green. The LND and FBX contents of commercially available tablet products A and B were found to be within the range of 100 ± 2%, indicating that the existing methodology for simultaneously determining LND and FBX in pharmaceutical combination products is applicable. The results of the current methodology indicated that LND and FBX could be consistently measured in pharmaceutical combination products simultaneously using the current approach.
