A Chemometrical Approach to Optimization and Validation of an HPLC Assay for Rizatriptan and its Impurities in Tablets

Abstract

An isocratic reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the analysis of a novel antimigraine drug, rizatriptan benzoate, in a dosage form along with its two impurities, L‐749.019 and L‐783.540. The method used a C₁₈ XTerra? (150×3.9 mm), 5 µm column. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of methanol, TEA (1%) and 10 mM KH₂PO₄ (5:9.5:85.5 v/v) at a flow rate of 1.2 ml min^?1 (pH of the water phase was adjusted to 5.5 with 85% orthophosphoric acid). Column temperature was 20°C and the detection was performed at 225 nm. The central composite design technique and the response surface method were used in the robustness test considerations. The method was applied satisfactorily to the analysis of commercial rizatriptan formulation.     

Determination of Nabumetone and Its Major Metabolite in Plasma and Tablet Formulations by Reverse-Phase HPLC

Abstract

A high performance liquid chromatographic procedure is presented for the determination of nabumetone in pharmaceutical tablets and in plasma. An aliquot of the sample is dissolved in 50% acetonitrile (ACN) containing 4-methoxyacetophenone as an internal standard and chromatographed on a Supelcosil LC-8 (5μ) (150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d.) column. The mobile phase was a mixture of acetonitrile (500 mL), triethylamine (1.5 mL) and glacial acetic acid (8 mL) diluted to 1000 mL, with distilled deionized water. The detection was carried at 270 nm. The method was tested for linearity, recovery and specificity.     

High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Pirenzepine Dihydrochloride in Its Pharmaceutical Formulation

Abstract

A high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure for the determination of pirenzepine dihydrochloride as a bulk material and in its tablet dosage form (Gastrozepin^R) is presented. Normal phase liquid chromatography has been performed on a Micro-pack Si-10 column using ammonium hydroxide (28–30% NH₃) in methanol (0.75: 99.25% v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 2 ml/min. Clobazam has been used as internal standard with retention times of 1.9 and 2.8 minutes for clobazam and pirenzepine dihydrochloride, respectively at 254 nm. Analytical calibration yields a linear relationship between 5 and 25 μg/ml, with correlation coefficient of 0.999. Tablets each labelled to contain 25 mg pirenzepine dihydrochloride give mean percentage found of 99.98 ± 0.4. A plot of logarithm of concentration against time for a solution in 6 N hydrochloric acid gives a straight line with a slope of - 0.197 day^?1. The proposed method is, therefore, a stability indicating method.     

Determination of Benzo(a)Pyrene and other Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Airborne Particulate Material by Ultrasonic Extraction and Reverse Phase High Pressure Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

Ultrasonic extraction of airborne particulate material on Hi-Vol filters is described. Almost all of the polar compounds are removed during the extraction by adsorption on the surface of the shredded glass fibers and controlled pore glass powder (CPG). The non-polar polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the extract are separated at room temperature by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) on reverse phase Vydac using acetonitrile:water (70:30 v/v) as the chromatographic solvent. There is baseline separation of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), benzo(k)fluoranthene (BkFt) and of benzo(e)pyrene (BeP), benzo(b)fluoranthene and perylene, the latter three present in one band. Extracts of airborne particulates show the same peaks. BaP elutes in approximately 14 minutes. Precision and accuracy measurements indicate full recovery of PAH and good extraction reproducibility. The detection limit of BaP at F 290/389 is less than 10 pg. Total analysis time is approximately 1 1/2 hr, most of which is waiting time.

Darstellung und Kristallstruktur von β-[SeCl3][MoOCl4]

Preparation and Crystal Structure of β-[SeCl₃][MoOCl₄] The reaction of Se₄[MoOCl₄] and Te₄[MoOCl₄] with SOCl₂ as solvent at 150 °C and 80 °C yields [SeCl₃][MoOCl₄] and [TeCl₃][MoOCl₄] respectively within 3 to 6 days as yellow-brown, moisture-sensitive crystals. [TeCl₃][MoOCl₄] was obtained in the already known monoclinic form, while β-[SeCl₃][MoOCl₄] crystallizes in a new polymorphic triclinic form (P1¯, Z = 2, a = 752.7(2), b = 812.8(2), c = 956.9(3) pm, α = 92.55(3)°, β = 111.63(2)°, γ = 107.39(3)°). The structure contains centrosymmetric tetranuclear units ([SeCl₃]₂[Mo₂O₂Cl₈]) which are analogous to the entities found in the structure of [SCl₃][MoOCl₄]. The packing of the molecules in β-[SeCl₃][MoOCl₄] and [SCl₃][MoOCl₄] is distinctely different.

Natural and artificial light-harvesting systems utilizing the functions of carotenoids

Carotenoids are essential pigments in natural photosynthesis. They absorb in the blue–green region of the solar spectrum and transfer the absorbed energy to (bacterio-)chlorophylls, and so expand the wavelength range of light that is able to drive photosynthesis. This process is an example of singlet–singlet energy transfer and so carotenoids serve to enhance the overall efficiency of photosynthetic light reactions. Carotenoids also act to protect photosynthetic organisms from the harmful effects of excess exposure to light. In this case, triplet–triplet energy transfer from (bacterio-)chlorophyll to carotenoid plays a key role in this photoprotective reaction. In the light-harvesting pigment–protein complexes from purple photosynthetic bacteria and chlorophytes, carotenoids have an additional role, namely the structural stabilization of those complexes. In this article we review what is currently known about how carotenoids discharge these functions. The molecular architecture of photosynthetic systems will be outlined to provide a basis from which to describe the photochemistry of carotenoids, which underlies most of their important functions in photosynthesis. Then, the possibility to utilize the functions of carotenoids in artificial photosynthetic light-harvesting systems will be discussed. Some examples of the model systems are introduced.     

Separation of Photosynthetic Pigments by High-performance Liquid Chromatography: Comparison of Column Performance,Mobile Phase,and Temperature

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been commonly used as method of separating and identifying photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophylls and carotenoids because of such advantages as speed, high resolution and sensitivity. In this technique, high separation relies largely on the type of column material. This study compared the efficiency of five reverse-phase columns, C8, C18, C18 monolithic, π-NAP, and cholester, for separation of photosynthetic pigments at several fixed conditions of mobile phase and temperature. This investigation also analysed the parameters of Δt_R and t_R ratio for selected pigments and resolution for structural isomers, such as α- and β-carotene. Among above columns tested, cholester column is suitable for separation of pigments not only for a broad range of polarity, but also for hydrophobic pigments in a simple mobile phase. This finding can help in the selection of column and HPLC parameters in separating photosynthetic pigments.
