Preparation of clarithromycin. Selective 6-O-methylation of the novel erythromycin A 9-O-(2-pyrimidyl)oxime

A new method for the preparation of clarithromycin is described through the highly regioselective O-methylation at C(6)-OH of the novel derivative 9-pyrimidyloxime erythromycin A. The facile synthesis of 6,11-O-dimethyl- and 6,11,12-O-trimethyl erythromycin A is also reported. These compounds are useful as standards to assess clarithromycin purity in quality control processes.     

Quantification of erythromycin in pharmaceutical formulation by transmission Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

A simple, cost-effective and environmental friendly analytical method was developed for the quantification of erythromycin in tablet formulation using transmission Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy for routine quality control analysis. There is no need of sample preparation except pellet formation for FT-IR analysis. Use of solvent was totally avoided in this method. Calibration was carried out by using simple Beer’s law in the FT-IR region between 1743 and 1697 cm⁻¹. The excellent coefficient of determination (R² = 0.998) was achieved with 0.0247 and 1.14 root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV), respectively. The results of the study revealed that the transmission FT-IR spectroscopy could be effectively used for rapid determination of active ingredients like erythromycin in pharmaceutical formulations to control the quality of finished products.

Development and validation of a rapid assay based on liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectromtetry for determining macrolide antibiotic residues in eggs

A simple and rapid method able to determine residues of erythromycin A, tylosin and tilmicosin in whole eggs is presented here. The analytical protocol involves a one-step extraction followed by liquid chromatography (LC)–tandem mass spectrometry. Analytes were extracted from 1 g of egg spiked with an internal standard (josamycin) with acetonitrile. In terms of accuracy, matrix effect and ion signal stability, no extract cleanup was found to be necessary. After partial solvent removal, the final extract was injected into the LC column. Extraction was effective, since absolute recovery of the analyte in egg at their maximum residue limit (MRL) level was 85–102%. Estimated limits of quantification (S/N = 10) were 0.2–0.5 ng/g. Based on the EU Commission Decision 2002/657/EC, the method was in-house validated in terms of ruggedness, specificity, linearity, within-laboratory reproducibility, decision limit (CCα) and detection capability (CCβ). The within-laboratory reproducibility, expressed as RSD (n = 18 at the MRL levels), was not higher than 13%. After validation, a short study on EA depletion in eggs was conducted after administration of this drug to laying hens.
