Determination of Levamisole in Sheep Muscle Tissue by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Photo Diode Array Detection

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of levamisole (LVM) residues in sheep muscle tissue is described. LVM was extracted with ethyl acetate under alkaline conditions and cleanup was performed by liquid-liquid partition between organic-basic and organic-acid medium. Finally, levamisole was back extracted with chloroform carefully transferred into a clean glass vial and evaporated to dryness at 50 °C under a gentle stream of nitrogen. The remaining dry residue was dissolved in the mobile phase used, filtered and an aliquot was injected automatically into the chromatograph for analysis. Chromatography was performed on a Zorbax^?SB-C₁₈ column at 50 °C and detection by a PDA detector monitored at λ_max 220 nm. The mobile phase was a mixture of 0.1 % trifluoroacetic acid (v/v) pH 2.0 and acetonitrile-methanol 3 : 2 (v/v) in a combination of 30 : 70 (v/v) and a flow rate of 1.0 mL min⁻¹, delivered isocratically. This analytical method was validated by assessing recovery efficiency using spiked muscle tissue samples with standard solutions in methanol at four fortification levels of 1/2 MRL, 1 MRL, 2 MRL and 4 MRL and five times for each concentration (n = 5). Mean recovery (R%) achieved for muscle tissue was 75.65 ± 2.74% with an acceptable Relative Standard Deviation RSD% = 10.4. The same method was used also for the analysis of kidney, liver and fat (perirenal) and the recoveries found were 70.25 ± 1.07% (RSD% = 1.52), 72.37 ± 3.6% (RSD% = 4.97) and 69.44 ± 2.22% (RSD% = 3.19), respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) for muscle tissue was found to be 2.0 μg kg⁻¹ and the limit of quantification (LOQ) 5.0 μg kg⁻¹. Revised: 4 and 24 January 2006

Determination of Synthetic Phenolic Antioxidants in Vegetable Oil and Oil-Enriched Foods by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Electrochemical Detection

Three synthetic phenolic antioxidants, tertiary butyl hydroquinone, butylated hydroxytoluene, and butylated hydroxyanisole, were determined in vegetable oil and oil-enriched food by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical detection. The separation was achieved using a reverse-phase column and gradient elution with methanol and 1% acetic acid. The limits of detection and quantification of the analytes were 2–120 lower, higher than those obtained by diode-array detection. The recoveries were 103.3% for tertiary butyl hydroquinone, 97.3% for butylated hydroxyanisole, and 95.2% for butylated hydroxytoluene. The results showed that HPLC with electrochemical detection is suitable for the quantification of low concentrations of phenolic antioxidants in vegetable oil and oil-enriched food with high sensitivity and accuracy.     

Phytochemical Profiling and Evaluation of the Hepatoprotective Effect of Cuscuta Campestris by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diode Array Detection

Plant-derived antioxidant compounds have the potential to prevent cell damage caused by free radicals. As a holoparasitic plant, Cuscuta campestris Yuncker is being valorized for treatment of liver injury and cancer prevention in traditional medicine. The main purpose of this present study is to elucidate the antioxidant- and anticancer-associated contents of C. campestris by spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. Diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, methanol, n-butanol, and water were used as extraction solvents to reach a wide range of secondary metabolites synthesized by this plant. Antioxidant potentials of these extracts were characterized by (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl)-free radical scavenging activity. Their anticancer activities were evaluated on SNU-398 hepatocellular carcinoma cells and controlled on the normal adult human dermal fibroblasts (hDFs) cells. Their phenolic compounds were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector to illuminate the responsible anticancer agent(s). The ethyl acetate extract revealed the most significant antioxidant effect. Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts were found to be cytotoxic on the SNU-398 cell lines with CC₅₀ values of 18.7 and 19.6?µg?mL^?1, respectively, whereas these extracts were not cytotoxic to the adult hDFs cells. Due to their abundance in the extracts, isorhamnetin, kaempferol, and quercetin may have caused this anticancer activity. Methanol extract has the highest concentration of phenolic compounds. Based on chromatographic analyses, we propose that these anticancer effects were positively correlated with plant phenolic compounds. The results showed that this plant is worth further study for its therapeutic uses.

A Rapid and Sensitive Method for The Determination of Diclofenac Sodium in Plasma By High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

A rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of diclofenac sodium in plasma has been developed. The method is specific and free of interference from metabolites and common anti-inflammatory agents. The UV detector (215 nm) response was linear over a range of 5-1000 ng/ml. Day-to-day and within-day calibration curves were reproducible. The method was validated by analysis of spiked human plasma samples, partly in a blind fashion. The accuracy and precision of the method are satisfactory over the range of 5-1000 ng/ml. The method was cross-checked with the GC method. Results show a correlation coefficient of 0.983 and a slope of 1.04. The method is suitable for the routine analysis of large numbers of plasma samples usually obtained in bioavailability and pharmacokinetic studies.     

A New HPLC Method for the Simultaneous Determination of Acetaminophen,Phenylephrine, Dextromethorphan and Chlorpheniramine in Pharmaceutical Formulations

Abstract

Acetaminophen, phenylephrine, dextromethorphan, and chlorpheniramine are frequently associated in pharmaceutical formulations against the common cold. A new high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients in pharmaceutical formulations. The separation and quantitation were achieved on a 25 cm underivatized silica column using a mobile phase of methanol: water (containing 6.0 g of ammonium acetate and 10 ml of triethylamine per liter, pH adjusted to 5.0 with orthophosphoric acid), 95:5%(v/v). Detection was carried out using a variable wavelength UV-vis detector at 254 nm for acetaminophen, at 220 nm for phenylephrine, and at 227 nm for dextromethorphan and chlorpheniramine. The method showed linearity for the acetaminophen, phenylephrine, dextromethorphan, and chlorpheniramine in the 162.5–650, 2.5–10, 7.5–30, and 1–4 µg/ml ranges, respectively. The intraday and interday RSDs ranged from 0.92 to 1.52%, 1.00 to 1.76%, 1.21 to 1.74% and 1.26 to 1.80% for the acetaminophen, phenylephrine, dextromethorphan, and chlorpheniramine, respectively. Compounds were eluted in a run time of less than 12 min.     

Development of Improved High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Method for the Determination of Residual Caprylic Acid in Formulations of Human Immunoglobulins

Quality control of human immunoglobulin formulations produced by caprylic acid precipitation necessitates a simple, rapid, and accurate method for determination of residual caprylic acid. A high-performance liquid chromatography method for that purpose was developed and validated. The method involves depletion of immunoglobulins, the major interfering components that produce high background noise, by precipitation with acetonitrile (1:1, v/v). Chromatographic analysis of caprylic acid, preserved in supernatant with no loss, was performed using a reverse-phase C18 column (2.1 × 150 mm, 3 μm) as a stationary phase and water with 0.05% TFA–acetonitrile (50:50, v/v) as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min and run time of 10 min. The developed method was successfully validated according to the ICH guidelines. The validation parameters confirmed that method was linear, accurate, precise, specific, and able to provide excellent separation of peaks corresponding to caprylic acid and the fraction of remaining immunoglobulins. Furthermore, a 2⁴⁻¹ fractional factorial design was applied in order to test the robustness of developed method. As such, the method is highly suitable for the quantification of residual caprylic acid in formulations of human immunoglobulins for therapeutic use, as demonstrated on samples produced by fractionation of convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 human plasma at a laboratory scale. The obtained results confirmed that the method is convenient for routine quality control.
