Validated Stability-Indicating Chromatographic Methods for the Determination of Veralipride in Presence of Its Degradation Products

Two sensitive and selective chromatographic methods were developed and validated for determination of veralipride in presence of its degradation products. Forced degradation studies were performed, using HCl, NaOH and 3% H₂O₂. The first method is based on thin-layer chromatographic separation of the intact drug spot from its degradation, followed by densitometric measurements. The second method is based on isocratic liquid chromatographic separation of the studied drug from its degradation on a reversed phase C₁₈ column. The proposed LC method was utilized to investigate the kinetics of alkaline degradation process of the selected drug at different temperatures.     

Estimation of individual ultraviolet spectra in incomplete two-component separations by high-performance liquid chromatography

A method is described for the estimation of spectral features in a two-component chromatographic peak by means of a u.v. diode-array detector. The calculation relies on the assumption that the front of a fused chromatographic peak contains a single pure component. The spectrum of this component is used in calculating the concentration profile of the other component, thus allowing the determination of a solution band for the spectrum of the second component. The boundaries of the solution band are based on non-negativity restrictions of chromatographic and spectral features. The method does not require the use of principal components analysis.     

Assessing chromatographic peak purity using condition index and singular value evolving profiles

A new method for determining chromatographic peak purity is presented. The method uses condition index evolving profiles (CIEPs) and singular value evolving profiles (SVEPs). To produce a CIEP or a SVEP, singular value decompositions are performed on data matrices containing the analyte's pure-component spectrum and sample spectra as they evolve over a chromatographic time profile. Visual inspection of condition indices and singular values as they evolve over time enables detection of less than 0.5% of a spectrally similar impurity with no chromatographic resolution (R_s = 0). Additionally, the CIEPs and SVEPs allow estimation of chromatographic pure regions. This method represents an extension of CIEPs which have been used in successful library searches of multicomponent mixtures based on gas chromatography-Fourier transform infrared spectra and liquid chromatography-UV-visible spectra.

Micro-scale analysis of aminoglycoside antibiotics in human plasma by capillary liquid chromatography and nanospray tandem mass spectrometry with column switching

A simple liquid chromatographic method combined with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) is described for the analysis of aminoglycoside antibiotics. Clinically these antibiotics may cause both ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity; therefore, the monitoring of aminoglycoside levels in patient plasma is required for protecting human health. In this study separation of the method is based on ion-pair chromatographic technology on a short capillary reversed-phase C18 column. The method was successfully applied to analyze amikacin in human plasma. In human plasma after deproteinisation with HFBA, an aliquot of 1 microL supernatant was injected into the chromatographic system. Only a small amount of plasma sample, 10 microL, is sufficient for the monitoring of amikacin levels in clinically therapeutic range. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of the method for intra- and inter-day analyses (n=5) are less than 5.8%. Application of this method for the trace analysis of amikacin in human plasma proved simple and workable.

Theoretical simulation of chromatographic separation based on random diffusion in the restricted space

The diffusion behavior of particles in the chromatography is a fundamental issue of chromatographic dynamics. The understanding of the diffusion behaviors is particularly critical to optimize the operation conditions, improve the chromatographic performance and design a new separation device. Many of the present simulations focus on chromatographic thermodynamics, and very few aim at the overall diffusion and separation process. In order to dynamically trace the trajectory of the diffusing particles and to perform simulations of the whole chromatographic process, we have developed a model based on the framework of random walk in the restricted space and performed the simulation of a single particle diffusion in the gas chromatography. The simulation parameters were determined by comparing with the experimental data. The elution profiles of n-alkanes under different flow rates were accurately simulated with the method. The results show that the relative difference between the measures and the simulations are less than 2% and 10% for the retention time and the peak width, respectively. The simulation method shows great significance for the optimization of separation conditions and the development of novel technologies of chromatographic separation.     

Development and validation of stability indicating chromatographic methods for simultaneous determination of citicoline and piracetam

Citicoline and piracetam were subjected separately to different stress conditions as recommended by the international conference on harmonization. In addition, new stability indicating thin layer chromatographic and ultra high performance liquid chromatographic methods have been developed and validated for simultaneous determination of citicoline and piracetam in presence of their degradation products. Separation on the proposed thin layer chromatographic method was carried out using a developing system containing methanol:chloroform:ammonium chloride buffer (9:1:2, v/v/v) on silica gel plates at 230 nm. On the other hand, the mobile phase in the ultra high performance liquid chromatographic method was composed of water (containing 0.1% triethylamine):ethanol (92:8, v/v). The flow rate was 1 mL/min and ultraviolet detection was at 230 nm. Moreover, results of the developed methods were statistically compared to those obtained by the reported high‐performance liquid chromatography method and no significant difference between them was found. The greenness profile of ultra high performance liquid chromatographic method was assessed and compared with those of the previously published high‐performance liquid chromatography methods, it was noticed that the proposed ultra high performance liquid chromatographic method more environmentally friendly and greener than other methods.     

Fast determination of ochratoxin A in serum by liquid chromatography: comparison with enzymic spectrofluorimetric method.

A rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of low concentrations of ochratoxin A in serum is described. The extraction procedure was simple and short, and liquid chromatographic analysis was carried out isocratically on a reversed-phase C18 column, with methanol-water-acetic acid (30:70:1) as mobile phase and fluorescence detection (excitation at 336 nm, emission at 465 nm). The examined concentration range, 5-50 ng/ml ochratoxin, the recovery method was 87-94%, compared with 62-67% for the enzymic spectrofluorimetric method. The high-performance liquid chromatographic method was faster because the extraction procedure was shorter, and more sensitive so that small sample volumes could be used.     

Thermal desorption cold trap-injection in high-resolution gas chromatography: multivariate optimization of experimental conditions.

In studies of low concentrations of volatile compounds in air, the method of adsorption on porous polymers and determination by thermal desorption cold trap-injection high-resolution gas chromatography is finding increasing application. Factors considered important for injection and chromatographic separation of volatile compounds by this method were investigated with the use of multivariate techniques. For the amount injected on to the chromatographic column, the factors of main importance were found to be the temperature of the injection block, the thickness of the internal coating of the cold trap and the flow-rate. Strong interaction effects were noted. For the sharpness of the chromatographic peaks, the flow-rate was the most important factor.

Characterization of ion exchange stationary phases via pH transition profiles

New non-destructive method for characterization of ion exchange chromatographic columns based on transient pH formed by a step change in ionic strength of buffer solutions was examined. The method was used to distinguish between cation and anion or weak and strong ion exchange chromatographic supports and to determine the capacity of the chromatographic resins. The general scheme to distinguish between most commonly used types of ion exchange chromatographic columns was proposed. The duration of pH transient was shown to be linearly proportional to the total ionic capacity and was used to estimate protein dynamic binding capacity of the resin. The effects of pH, concentration and temperature on transient pH duration were examined.     

Simultaneous determination of methylxanthines in different types of tea by a newly developed and validated TLC method

The aim of this paper is to develop a new simple, fast and economical method for simultaneous quantitative determination of methylxanthine compounds based on TLC combined with image analysis. To obtain certain results, both extraction and chromatographic separation were optimized. The optimum extraction conditions were maceration in ethanol-water 8:2, v/v. The chromatographic separations were done on the silica gel F(254) TLC plates developed with chloroform-dichloromethane-isopropanol, 4:2:1 v/v/v. Detection was performed under UV lamp at 254?nm and the evaluation of the chromatographic plate was based on digital processing of chromatographic images. The developed TLC method was validated for parameters such as specificity, linearity and range, LOD and LOQ, precision, robustness and accuracy. This method was then applied for determination of caffeine, theobromine and theophylline in different types of tea, commercially available. Moreover, the content of methylxanthines detected and determined in commercial tea samples can be used as chemical marker in quality control.     

Determination of conjugated and esterified estrogens in pharmaceutical tablet dosage forms by high-pressure, normal-phase partition chromatography.

A high-pressure, normal-phase partition chromatographic method for the identification and determination of conjugated and esterified estrogens in pharmaceutical tablet dosage forms is described. The method is based on the separation of the estrogen sulfate esters on a conventional diatomaceous earth-H20 column, followed by HCI-methanol hydrolysis, and finally a chromatographic separation on a chemically bonded ether (ETH-Permaphase) column and measurement. Mobile phases found useful were combinations of 2-propanol and n-heptane. Equillin and -dehydroestrone, a structurally related isomer, not separately determined in the proposed method, are determined as a sum by performing a chromatographic study of their corresponding 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine derivatives. Studies have indicated several estrogen derivatives can be rapidly formed and then separated on the same column, providing a useful qualitative analysis scheme. Commercial tablet dosage forms were analyzed for conjugated and esterified estrogens and the results are presented.
