Development and validation of an improved liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of oxytetracycline

Summary An improved LC method is described for the separation of oxytetracycline and its impurities. The separation is much better than that obtained with official pharmacopoeia methods. The method uses XTerra RP-18, 5 μm (25cm×4.6 mm I.D.), a silica-based stationary phase with methyl end-capping, claimed to reduce silanol activity. The column temperature is set at 30°C and a UV detection is performed at 280 nm. Mobile phase containing acetonitrile −0.25 M tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate pH 7.5−0.25 M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid pH 7.5-water (115:360:160:365,v/v/v/v) is used at a flow rate of 1.0 mL.min⁻¹, to separate the impurities present in oxytetracycline base. A central composite experimental design is used to optimize the separation. A second isocratic method with higher content of acetonitrile is needed to separate the more retained impurities present only in oxytetracycline hydrochloride. The method is robust and shows good selectivity, repeatability, linearity and sensitivity.     

Practical Evaluation of Sol-gel and Hydrothermal Fritting Technologies for Rapid Column Fabrication and its Application in Capillary Electrochromatography and Micro-Liquid Chromatography

Summary Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) sol-gel technology was investigated as an alternative fritting methodology. It allowed a wide range of silica based stationary phase materials of differing particle sizes (3–12 m) in capillaries of differing lengths (7.4–25 cm) and internal diameters (100–375 m) to be investigated. Experiments comparing coupled with continuous capillaries illustrated a loss of approximately 7% in chromatographic peak efficiency for the coupled capillary format. Continuous column architecture experiments showed that it is possible to detect through the packed bed without losing the peak efficiency when optimised detector settings were employed. TEOS fritting technology was fast and reliable, allowing rapid stationary phase screening for CEC or micro-LC.     

Rapid method for determination of phenylurea herbicides in milk

Summary A method has been developed for the determination of thirteen phenylurea herbicide residues in milk. It involves one-step solvent extraction of the milk with methanol by ultrasonication. The extract is cleaned up on an Amberchrom resin cartridge. Reversed-phase, gradient elution, high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection at 242 nm is used to analyse the residues. The recovery of thirteen phenylurea pesticides is quantitative, ranging from 71.4% to 97.9% for the individual herbicides investigated at concentrations around 0.05 mg kg^–1 and from 65.1% to 95.6% around 0.005 mg kg^–1. The method is not associated with any of the emulsion problems common to conventional solvent extraction, which considerably reduce the sample clean-up process compared with existing methods.     

Automated sample preparation using supported liquid membranes for liquid chromatographic determination of sulfonylurea herbicides

Summary Sample preparation for determination of sulfonylurea herbicides in aqueous samples is investigated. The technique studied utilizes extraction and back extraction in an automated flow system and is coupled on-line to a liquid chromatographic system. The extraction unit consists of an immobilized liquid membrane, separating two aqueous phases. From the acidified donor phase the analytes are extracted into the organic solvent of the membrane. After traversing the membrane they are back extracted into an alkaline/neutral aqueous acceptor phase. They are trapped in the acceptor by dissociation, making them insoluble in the membrane.Studies of the sample preparation system concern factors like channel length of separators, distribution coefficients of analytes and use of a precolumn instead of loop for chromatographic injections. Effects of the internal diameter of the analytical column as well as the detection of the sulfonylurcas are investigated.     

Capillary electrophoresis as an alternative to HPLC for determination of honey flavonoids

Summary The general objective is to provide an alternative methodology based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) to characterize flavonoids from honey and hence determine its botanical origin. The specific objective is to compare the separation of flavonoids by CE with those achieved by HPLC to assess CE as an alternative technique for the determination of honey flavonoids. Fourteen different flavonoids isolated from honey were analysed by MECC and compared to the HPLC separations. It was difficult to find specific experimental conditions to separate all the flavonoids from honey in a single MEKC run. Three chromatographic conditions are optimized and, depending on the flavonoid markers sought in honey, the appropriate detection method should be chosen. Compared to the HPLC results, it is clear that CE could be an alternative technique in honey flavonoids analysis and particularly in the study of its geographical and floral origin.     

Reversed phase liquid chromatographic retention behavior of polystyrene homopolymers

Summary Isocratic and gradient elution high performance liquid chromatographic measurements of the retention behavior of polystyrene homopolymers with molecular weights ranging from 2 kD to 390 kD were performed using mixed methylene chloride-methanol mobile phases of varying composition and a C-18 chemically bonded stationary phase supported on either 100 Å or 300 Å mean pore diameter silica. Isocratic measurements of the capacity factor, k, for different molecular weight homopolymers as a function of the volume fraction of methylene chloride, , permit determination of the critical composition, _c, which renders k=1 and the local slope, S=–lnk/_c of the lnk- isotherm at =_c, and also the dependence of _c and S on the degree of polymerization, M. Linear gradient elution measurements of _c and S were also performed and compared to the corresponding isocratic measurements. The general retention behavior and the dependence of _c and S on M compare favorably to the predictions of the theory of homopolymer retention and fractionation developed by Boehm, Martire, Armstrong, and Bui (BMAB). Comparison is also made between the present work and the experimental observations of other workers on related chromatographic systems involving hompolymer retention.     

Evaluation of double solid-phase extraction system for determining triazine herbicides in milk

Summary High-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection was used to determine eight triazine herbicides in milk. Solid-phase extraction was performed using a double trap; first, a nonspecific adsorbent (Carbograph), and then a cation exchanger (SCX). Eluate from the SCX was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure and redissolved in mobile phase. An aliquot was injected into the chromatograph, which was operated isocratically in the reverse-phase mode with UV detection at 225 nm. Analytical recoveries for the eight triazines ranged from 73.0 % to 92.4 %. The limit of sensitivity of this method was about 0.09 ng mL⁻¹ of milk. The method was validated and evaluated by comparison with a method reported in literature.

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination/identification of oxytetracycline and sulphadimidine in meat and eggs

Summary A rapid method for the simultaneous determination/identification of residual oxytetracycline (OTC) and sulphadimidine (SDD) in meats (beef, pork, chicken) and eggs by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed. The extraction of OTC and SDD was performed using a Sep-Pak^? CN cartridge. The extracts contained OTC/SDD analytes when examined by HPLC using a LiChrospher^? 100 RP-8 end-capped column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-acetic acid-water (28:4:68, v/v/v) with a photodiode array detector. The average recoveries from spiked samples (0.1 μg g⁻¹ and 1.0 μg g⁻¹) were in excess of 80.2% with coefficients of variation between 1.5 and 5.0%. The limits of detection for OTC and SDD were 0.05 and 0.02 μg g⁻¹, respectively.     

Particle Loaded Monolithic Sol‐Gel Columns for Capillary Electrochromatography: A New Dimension for High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Particle‐loaded (3 μm, octadecylsilica) monolithic sol‐gel columns have been prepared and selected characteristics measured. Several electrical properties may be calculated from simple current measurements in the column as a whole. Resistivity in the packed segment is approximately three times that in open segments, resulting in a 60% increase in field strength in the packed regions compared to the capillary with no packing. The surprisingly high specific permeability of these sol‐gel columns is characteristic of 8‐μm particles, which allows their operation in the microLC mode at pressures as low as 69 kPa where their efficiency is about 50,000 plates per meter and in the CEC mode where efficiency is about 106,000 plates per meter at 5 kV. There is a relatively rapid loss of efficiency with increasing linear velocity beyond 0.2 mm/s in microLC mode, which may be due to additional diffusion processes in the inter‐particulate voids. A rapid loss of efficiency above 0.5 mm/s is also observed in the CEC mode, for the same reasons. Chromatographic retention behavior in either separation mode is characteristic of conventional octadecylsilica particles, indicating that analytes have significant access to the surface within the pores of the immobilized bonded phase.     

RP-HPLC assay for 1,2-5,6-dianhydro-3,4-disuccinyl-galactitol and its metabolites in blood plasma and liver

The substance and its metabolites were derivatized with sodium pentamethylene-dithiocarbamate to form different bis(dithiocarbamoyl) esters, which can be detected by UV absorbance at 254 and 280 nm. The directly derivatized products were then extracted into CHCl₃, and after sample preparation resolved by RP-HPLC on SAS-Hypersil column.

Standard calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.39-500 microg/mL. Good results were achieved with respect to repeatability (RSD <3%) and recovery (98.6-100.8%). The method was validated for linearity, accuracy, repeatability, LOD, and LOQ.     

A Stability-Indicating LC Method for the Simultaneous Determination of Telmisartan and Ramipril in Dosage Form

A simple, rapid, and precise method is developed for the quantitative simultaneous estimation of telmisartan and ramipril in combined pharmaceutical dosage form. A chromatographic separation of the two drugs was achieved with an ACE 5 C₁₈, 25-cm analytical column using buffer–acetonitrile (55:45 v/v). The buffer used in mobile phase contains 0.1 M sodium perchlorate monohydrate in double distilled water pH adjusted 3.0 with trifluoroacetic acid. The instrumental settings are flow rate of 1.5 mL min⁻¹, column temperature at 30 °C, and detector wavelength of 215 nm using a photodiode array detector. The resolution between ramipril and telmisartan were found to be more than 5. Theoretical plates for ramipril and telmisartan were 13,022 and 6,629. Tailing factor for ramipril and telmisartan was 0.94 and 0.98. Telmisartan, ramipril and their combination drug product were exposed to thermal, photolytic, hydrolytic and oxidative stress conditions, and the stressed samples were analysed by the proposed method. Peak homogeneity data of telmisartan and ramipril is obtained using photodiode array detector, in the stressed sample chromatograms, demonstrated the specificity of the method for their estimation in presence of degradants. The described method shows excellent linearity over a range of 20–400 μg mL⁻¹ for telmisartan and 2.5–50 μg mL⁻¹ for ramipril. The correlation coefficient for telmisartan and ramipril are 1. The relative standard deviation for six measurements in two sets of each drug in tablets was always less than 2%. The proposed method was found to be suitable and accurate for quantitative determination and the stability study of telmisartan and ramipril in pharmaceutical preparations.

Use of the sol-gel technique to prepare capillary columns coated with a macrocyclic dioxopolyamine for open-tubular capillary electrochromatography

Summary Columns for open-tubular (OT) capillary electrochromatography (CEC), coated with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotridecane-11,13-dione (dioxo[13]aneN₄) by use of the sol-gel technique, have been investigated for the first time. Dioxol[13]aneN₄ was reacted with 3-(2-cyclooxypropoxy)propyltrimethoxysilane and the product was then mixed with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and water to form a glass matrix as a network in which the stationary phase (dioxo[13]aneN₄) was incorporated. In comparison with OTCEC columns prepared by the sol-gel process with TEOS only, the sol-gel-derived macrocyclic dioxopolyamine columns enabled better separations of a mixture of isomeric nitrophenols and benzenediols, a mixture of isomeric aminophenols and diaminobenzenes, and a mixture of four biogenic monoamine neurotransmitters. High efficiencies (60 000—340 000 plates m⁻¹) were achieved for isomeric benzenediols, aminophenols, nitrophenols, and diaminobenzenes. Migration time and theoretical plate number reproducibility was satisfactory;RSD was <2% for one column and <8.5% from column to column.
