Simultaneous HPTLC and RP-HPLC methods for determination of bumadizone in the presence of its alkaline-induced degradation product

Accurate, selective, sensitive and precise HPTLC‐densitometric and RP‐HPLC methods were developed and validated for determination of bumadizone calcium semi‐hydrate in the presence of its alkaline‐induced degradation product and in pharmaceutical formulation. Method A uses HPTLC‐densitometry, depending on separation and quantitation of bumadizone and its alkaline‐induced degradation product on TLC silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ plates, using hexane–ethyl acetate–glacial acetic acid (8:2:0.2, v/v/v) as a mobile phase followed by densitometric measurement of the bands at 240 nm. Method B comprises RP‐HPLC separation of bumadizone and its alkaline‐induced degradation product using a mobile phase consisting of methanol–water–acetonitrile (20:30:50, v/v/v) on a Phenomenex C₁₈ column at a flow‐rate of 2 mL/min and UV detection at 235 nm. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the analysis of bumadizone either in bulk powder or in pharmaceutical formulation without interference from other dosage form additives, and the results were statistically compared with the established method.

Chromatographic determination of itopride hydrochloride in the presence of its degradation products

Two sensitive and reproducible methods are described for the quantitative determination of itopride hydrochloride (IH) in the presence of its degradation products. The first method is based on HPLC separation on a reversed phase Kromasil column [C18 (5-microm, 25 cm x 4.6 mm, ID)] at ambient temperature using a mobile phase consisting of methanol and water (70:30, v/v) adjusted to pH 4.0 with orthophosphoric acid with UV detection at 258 nm. The flow rate was 1.0 mL per min with an average operating pressure of 180 kg/cm2. The second method is based on HPTLC separation on silica gel 60 F254 using toluene:methanol:chloroform:10% ammonia (5.0:3.0:6.0:0.1, v/v/v/v) as mobile phase at 270 nm. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student's t-test were applied to correlate the results of IH determination in dosage form by means of HPLC and HPTLC methods. The drug was subjected to acid and alkali hydrolysis, oxidation, dry heat, wet heat treatment, UV, and photodegradation. The proposed HPLC method was utilized to investigate the kinetics of the acidic, alkaline, and oxidative degradation processes at different temperatures and the apparent pseudo-first-order rate constant, half-life, and activation energy were calculated. In addition the pH-rate profile of degradation of IH in constant ionic strength buffer solutions in the pH range 2-11 was studied.     

Advantages of pentafluorophenylpropyl stationary phase over conventional C18 stationary phase--application to analysis of triamcinolone acetonide

A pentafluorophenylpropyl (PFPP) stationary phase was for the first time tested for the simultaneous determination of triamcinolone acetonide, its degradation product triamcinolone and two preservatives, methylparaben, and propylparaben. A new simple isocratic reversed phase HPLC method with UV detection, using estradiol hemihydrate as an internal standard, has been developed and validated. Chromatography was performed on a Discovery HS F5 column (150 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) using a binary mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and water 45:55 (v:v). The flow-rate was 0.6 mL/min, the column temperature 25 degrees C and the UV detection was accomplished at 240 nm. The chromatography results using PFPP stationary phase were compared with those obtained using conventional C18 columns.     

HPLC, TLC, and first-derivative spectrophotometry stability-indicating methods for the determination of tropisetron in the presence of its acid degradates

Three stability-indicating assay methods were developed for the determination of tropisetron in a pharmaceutical dosage form in the presence of its degradation products. The proposed techniques are HPLC, TLC, and first-derivative spectrophotometry (1D). Acid degradation was carried out, and the degradation products were separated by TLC and identified by IR, NMR, and MS techniques. The HPLC method was based on determination of tropisetron in the presence of its acid-induced degradation product on an RP Nucleosil C18 column using methanol-water-acetonitrile-trimethylamine (65 + 20 + 15 + 0.2, v/v/v/v) mobile phase and UV detection at 285 nm. The TLC method was based on the separation of tropisetron and its acid-induced degradation products, followed by densitometric measurement of the intact spot at 285 nm. The separation was carried out on silica gel 60 F254 aluminum sheets using methanol-glacial acetic acid (22 + 3, v/v) mobile phase. The 1D method was based on the measurement of first-derivative amplitudes of tropisetron in H2O at the zero-crossing point of its acid-induced degradation product at 271.9 nm. Linearity, accuracy, and precision were found to be acceptable over concentration ranges of 40-240 microg/mL, 1-10 microg/spot, and 6-36 micro/mL for the HPLC, TLC, and 1D methods, respectively. The suggested methods were successfully applied for the determination of the drug in bulk powder, laboratory-prepared mixtures, and a commercial sample.     

Comparison of HPLC and MEEKC for Miconazole Nitrate Determination in Pharmaceutical Formulation

A simple solid phase extraction (SPE) method coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using UV detector and microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC) has been developed and compared for the quantitative determination of miconazole nitrate in pharmaceutical formulation. For HPLC method, two parameters were optimized, namely, the wavelength and the mobile phases. The optimized condition was at the 225 nm wavelength and the mobile phase of ACN:MeOH (90:10 v/v). There are seven MEEKC parameters that were optimized, in this research, which were applied to voltage, temperature, wavelength, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration, buffer pH, buffer concentration and butan-1-ol concentration. The optimum MEEKC condition was obtained using 86.35 % (w/w) 2.5 mM borate buffer pH 9, 0.25 % (w/w) SDS, 0.8 % (w/w) ethyl acetate, 6.6 % w/w butan-1-ol and 6.0 % (w/w) acetonitrile. The combination of SPE using a diol column with HPLC–UV and the MEEKC methods were successfully applied for the determination of miconazole nitrate in a pharmaceutical formulation with the recovery percentage of 98.35 and 92.50 %, respectively.     

Immobilized versus coated amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phases for the enantioselective separation of cyclopropane derivatives by liquid chromatography

The solvent versatility of Chiralpak IA, a new chiral stationary phase (CSP) containing amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarabamate) immobilized onto silica gel, is investigated for the enantioselective separation of a set of cyclopropane derivatives using ethyl acetate or dichloromethane (DCM) as non-standard mobile phase eluent and diluent, respectively in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A comparison of the separation of cyclopropanes on both immobilized and coated amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phases (Chiralpak IA and Chiralpak AD, respectively) in HPLC using a mixture of n-hexane/2-propanol (90/10 and 99/1, v/v) as mobile phase with a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min and UV detection at 254 nm, is demonstrated. The optimized method of separation is used for an online HPLC monitoring for the Rh(II)-catalyzed asymmetric intermolecular cyclopropanations in dichloromethane. Direct analysis techniques without further purification, workup or removal of dichloromethane were summarized. The method provides an easy and direct determination of the enantiomeric excess of the cyclopropanes and selectivity of the catalyst used without any further work up.

This paper describes validated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) methods for the simultaneous estimation of pantoprazole (PANT) and domperidone (DOM) in pure powder and capsule formulations. The HPLC separation was achieved on a Phenomenex C18 column (250 mm id, 4.6 mm, 5 pm) using 0.01 M, 6.5 pH ammonium acetate buffer-methanol-acetonitrile (30 + 40 + 30, v/v/v, pH 7.20) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min at ambient temperature. The HPTLC separation was achieved on an aluminum-backed layer of silica gel 60F254 using ethyl acetate-methanol (60 + 40, v/v) as the mobile phase. Quantification was achieved with ultraviolet (UV) detection at 287 nm over the concentration range 400-4000 and 300-3000 ng/mL with mean recovery of 99.35+/-0.80 and 99.08+/-0.57% for PANT and DOM, respectively (HPLC method). Quantification was achieved with UV detection at 287 nm over the concentration range 80-240 and 60-180 ng/spot with mean recovery of 98.40+/-0.67 and 98.75+/-0.71% for PANT and DOM, respectively (HPTLC method). These methods are simple, precise, and sensitive, and they are applicable for the simultaneous determination of PANT and DOM in pure powder and capsule formulations.     

Stability-Indicating Chromatographic Methods for Simultaneous Determination of Mosapride and Pantoprazole in Pharmaceutical Dosage Form and Plasma Samples

Simple, sensitive, selective, precise, and stability-indicating thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods for the determination of mosapride and pantoprazole in pharmaceutical tablets were developed and validated as per the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The TLC method employs aluminum TLC plates precoated with silica gel 60F₂₅₄ as the stationary phase and ethyl acetate/methanol/toluene (4:1:2, v/v/v) as the mobile phase to give compact spots for mosapride (R _f 0.73) and pantoprazole (R _f 0.45) separated from their degradation products; the chromatogram was scanned at 276 nm. The HPLC method utilizes a C18 column and a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile/methanol/20 mM ammonium acetate (4:2:4, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min^?1 for the separation of mosapride (t _R 11.4) and pantoprazole (t _R 4.4) from their degradation products. Quantitation was achieved with UV detection at 280 nm. The same HPLC method was successfully used in performing calibrations in lower concentration ranges for both drugs in human plasma using ezetimibe as internal standard. The methods were validated in terms of accuracy, precision, linearity, limits of detection, and limits of quantification. Mosapride and pantoprazole were exposed to acid hydrolysis and then analyzed by the proposed methods. As the methods could effectively separate the drugs from their degradation products, these techniques can be employed as stability-indicating methods that have been successively applied to pharmaceutical formulations without interference from the excipients. Moreover the HPLC method was successfully used in the determination of both drugs in spiked human plasma.

HPLC technique for quantitation of Chimassorb 944, and its evaluation in analysis of real and standard samples of polyolefins

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is presented for the determination of Chimassorb 944 in polymeric matrix. A reversed phase column octadecyl silane (ODS) is used as a stationary phase. As a mobile phase, a mixture of THF:methanol:triethanol amine (90:10:1.5) (v:v:w) is used. The HPLC system was equipped with an UV detector and the absorbance of the analyte was recorded at 240 nm. In the case of polymers, 0.5 g of them along with 100 mg Irganox 1010 (for preventing oxidation of Chimassorb 944) were dissolved in boiling xylene, and then extracted with sulfuric acid 1 M four times. The extract was neutralized with sodium hydroxide solution and the analyte was re-extracted into carbon tetrachloride and then injected to the HPLC system. This method is an accurate and relatively fast technique for determination of Chimassorb 944 in polymers.

Stability‐indicating chromatographic methods for determination of flecainide acetate in the presence of its degradation products; isolation and identification of two of its impurities

In this work, two stability‐indicating chromatographic methods have been developed and validated for determination of flecainide acetate (an antiarrhythmic drug) in the presence of its degradation products (flecainide impurities; B and D). Flecainide acetate was subjected to a stress stability study including acid, alkali, oxidative, photolytic and thermal degradation. The suggested chromatographic methods included the use of thin layer chromatography (TLC‐densitometry) and high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The TLC method employed aluminum TLC plates precoated with silica gel G.F₂₅₄ as the stationary phase and methanol–ethyl acetate–33% ammonia (3:7:0.3, by volume) as the mobile phase. The chromatograms were scanned at 290 nm and visualized in daylight by the aid of iodine vapor. The developed HPLC method used a RP‐C₁₈ column with isocratic elution. Separation was achieved using a mobile phase composed of phosphate buffer pH 3.3–acetonitrile–triethylamine (53:47:0.03, by volume) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and UV detection at 292 nm. Factors affecting the efficiency of HPLC method have been studied carefully to reach the optimum conditions for separation. The developed methods were validated according to the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and were applied for bulk powder and dosage form.

Simultaneous Determination of Diazepam and its metabolites in Plasma by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

A reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) for the simultaneous determination of diazepam and its three active metabolites, nordazepam, oxazepam and temazepam, in plasma was proposed. The compounds were isolated by solid-phase extraction. The chromatographic mobile phase was metanol-water (55:45, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. UV detection was performed concurrently at 240 and 254 nm.     

Analysis of organic components of smokeless gunpowders: high-performance liquid chromatogaphy vs. micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

The aim of the present study was to verify the analytical performances of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) for the separation and qualitative determination of a selected group of organic components of smokeless gunpowders. The HPLC method was based on a gradient reversed-phase elution with a mobile phase composed of 0.17 M H(3)PO(4)/methanol; detection was performed by UV absorption at the wavelengths of 220, 254, and 270 nm. The MEKC experiments were carried out by using uncoated fused-silica capillaries (50 microm inside diameter, 50 cm effective length) and a running buffer composed of 10 mM sodium tetraborate at pH 9.24 added with 25 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS); the applied voltage was 25 kV; detection was either at a fixed wavelength UV of 214 nm or with a diode-array detector operating in the wavelength range from 190 to 350 nm. Both reversed-phase HPLC and MEKC techniques succeeded in resolving the tested standard mixtures of organic components of smokeless powders. Although the sequence of elution of the different analytes was slightly different between HPLC and MEKC, a statistical analysis based on the Spearman's rank correlation test showed that the two separation patterns were highly correlated. HPLC and MEKC were comparable in terms of elution/migration time precision, whereas MEKC showed higher reproducibility of peak areas. The interfacing of capillary electrophoresis with diode array UV detection provided distinct UV spectra of the individual analytes, thus improving, on the detection side, the analytical selectivity and identification power of capillary electrophoresis.     

Quantification of astaxanthin in shrimp waste hydrolysate by HPLC

In the present study, a simple and rapid reversed-phase HPLC method for the determination of astaxanthin in shrimp waste hydrolysate has been developed and validated.

The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of water:methanol:dichloromethane:acetonitrile (4.5:28:22:45.5 v/v/v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Detection and identification were performed using a photodiode array detector (lambda(detection) = 476 nm). The proposed HPLC method showed adequate linearity, repeatability and accuracy.     

Development and Validation of HPLC,TLC and Derivative Spectrophotometric Methods for the Analysis of Ezetimibe in the Presence of Alkaline Induced Degradation Products

Reversed phase‐high performance liquid chromatography (RP‐HPLC), thin layer chromatography (TLC) densitometry and first derivative spectrophotometry (1D) techniques are developed and validated as a stability‐indicating assay of ezetimibe in the presence of alkaline induced degradation products. RP‐HPLC method involves an isocratic elution on a Phenomenex Luna 5μ C₁₈ column using acetonitrile: water: glacial acetic acid (50:50:0.1 v/v/v) as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. and a UV detector at 235 nm. TLC densitometric method is based on the difference in Rf‐values between the intact drug and its degradation products on aluminum‐packed silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ TLC plates as stationary phase with isopropanol: ammonia 33% (9:1 v/v) as a developing mobile phase. On the fluorescent plates, the spots were located by fluorescence quenching and the densitometric analysis was carried out at 250 nm. Derivative spectrophotometry, the zero‐crossing method, ezetimibe was determined using first derivative at 261 nm in the presence of its degradation products. Calibration graphs of the three suggested methods are linear in the concentration ranges 1–10 mcg/mL, 0.1–1 mg/mL and 1–16 mcg/mL with a mean percentage accuracy of 99.05 ± 0.54%, 99.46 ± 0.63% and 99.24 ± 0.82% of bulk powder, respectively. The three proposed methods were successfully applied for the determination of ezetimibe in raw material and pharmaceutical dosage form; the results were statistically analyzed and compared with those obtained by the reported method. Validation parameters were determined for linearity, accuracy and precision; selectivity and robustness and were assessed by applying the standard addition technique.
