Derivative spectrum chromatographic method for the determination of trimethoprim in honey samples using an on-line solid-phase extraction technique

A simple, selective and rapid analytical method for determination of trimethoprim (TMP) in honey samples was developed and validated. This method is based on a SPE technique followed by HPLC with photodiode array detection. After dilution and filtration, aliquots of 500 μL honey samples were directly injected to an on-line SPE HPLC system. TMP was extracted on an RP SPE column, and separated on a hydrophilic interaction chromatography column during HPLC analysis. At the first detection step, the noise level of the photodiode array data was reduced with two-dimensional equalizer filtering, and then the smoothed data were subjected to derivative spectrum chromatography. On the second-derivative chromatogram at 254 nm, the limit of detection and the limit of quantification of TMP in a honey sample were 5 and 10 ng/g, respectively. The proposed method showed high accuracy (60-103%) with adequate sensitivity for TMP monitoring in honey samples.     

Chromatographic fingerprint analysis and simultaneous determination of eight lignans in Justicia procumbens and its compound preparation by HPLC-DAD

HPLC fingerprints were developed for the quality evaluation of Justicia procumbens and its compound preparation, Jian-er syrup, together with the simultaneous quantification of eight arylnaphthalide lignans (6'-hydroxy justicidin B, 6'-hydroxy justicidin A, 6'-hydroxy justicidin C, justicidin B, chinensinaphthol methyl ether, justicidin C, taiwanin C, and neojusticin A). Samples were separated with a Shiseido Capcell Pak C(18) reversed-phase column (250×4.6 mm id, 5 μm) using acetonitrile and water as the mobile phase. The column temperature was maintained at 35°C and the wavelength of detector was set at 256 nm. For fingerprint analysis, 17 peaks were selected as the characteristic peaks for the evaluation of the similarities among different J. procumbens samples collected in different places. The structures of lignans were confirmed by diagnostic fragments in the positive ESI-MS(n) . The new method was successfully applied for the chromatographic fingerprint analysis and simultaneous determination of eight lignans in its compound preparation, Jian-er syrup. All the results indicated that HPLC fingerprint assay in combination with multi-marker determination afforded a useful method for the quality control of J. procumbens and its compound preparation, Jian-er syrup.     

Determination of Six Bioactive Compounds in Buyang Huanwu Decoction by High Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Electrospray Mass Spectrometry

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with an electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) method was developed for the determination of six bioactive compounds in a Buyang Huanwu decoction (BYHWD), which was composed of seven spices of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs). The separations were performed on a Shim-pack (VP-ODS) C₁₈ analytical column (5 μm, 250 × 4.6 mm ID, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) with the column temperature maintained at 30°C.

The intra-day and inter-day precisions of this method were evaluated with the relative standard deviation values (less than 2.06% and 2.88%, respectively). The recoveries of the six investigated compounds exceeded 96%. This method was successfully used to determine the six target compounds in BYHWD.

Optimization of microwave‐assisted extraction followed by RP‐HPLC for the simultaneous determination of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid in the fruits of Chaenomeles sinensis

An optimized microwave‐assisted extraction (MAE) method and an efficient HPLC analysis method were developed for fast extraction and simultaneous determination of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid in the fruit of Chaenomeles sinensis.

The detection wavelength was UV 202 nm. Under these conditions, excellent linearity was obtained (r² = 1), and the overall recovery was 97.5 and 98.1% for fresh florets and lyophilized florets, respectively. The precision results showed that the relative standard deviation of the repeatability for florets fresh and lyophilized was 3.0 and 4.0%, respectively.

A Stability-Indicating LC Method for Lumefantrine

A simple, rapid, and precise method is developed for the quantitative determination of lumefantrine (Lume) in active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). A chromatographic separation of Lume and its degradants were achieved with an X-Terra RP18, 250 × 4.6 mm, and 5 μ analytical column using buffer–acetonitrile (30:70 v/v). The buffer used in mobile phase contains 0.1 M sodium perchlorate monohydrate in double distilled water pH adjusted to 2.1 with trifluoroacetic acid. The instrumental settings are flow rate of 0.5 mL (L), column temperature at 35 °C, and detector wavelength of 235 nm using a photodiode array detector. Lume was exposed to thermal, photolytic, hydrolytic and oxidative stress conditions, and the stressed samples were analysed by the proposed method. Peak homogeneity data of Lume obtained by photodiode array detection, in the stressed sample chromatograms, demonstrated the specificity of the method for estimation in the presence of degradants. The described method shows excellent linearity over a range of 10–200 μg L⁻¹ for Lume. The correlation coefficient is 1. The relative standard deviation of peak area for six measurements is always less than 2% between days. The proposed method was found to be suitable and accurate for quantitative determination and stability study of Lume in API.
