Voltammetric determination of azithromycin at the carbon paste electrode

Azithromycin (AZ) is the first member of a class of macrolide azalides antibiotics called azolides. A simple and selective square-wave voltammetric (SWV) method has been developed for the determination of azithromycin in pure form, in pharmaceutical preparation and in biological samples. Determination of azithromycin was accomplished with hand-make carbon paste electrode (CPE) in oxidative screen mode. The counter and reference electrodes were a Pt wire and a Ag/AgCl, respectively. Various parameters that can influence the peak signal (effect of buffer, ionic strength, accumulation time, pH and the composition of the paste) have been scrutinized. The best results were obtained in acetonitrile—aqueous 1 M sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer (pH 4.6) containing 0.1 M KCl (1:9; v/v) using a 15% paraffin oil CPE. The limits of detection and quantification of the pure drug are 0.463 and 1.544 ppb (with the correlation coefficient, r=0.9785and the standard deviation, S.D.=0.1 (n=5), for the accumulation time of 60 s), respectively. The method was successfully applied to the determination of the drug in urine and two forms of pharmaceutical formulations. Recoveries were 99.2—100.5% with S.D.=0.1—and 0.8% (n=5).     

An overview of analytical methodologies for the determination of antibiotics in environmental waters

The widespread occurrence of antibiotics as contaminants in the aquatic environment has increased attention in the last years. The concern over the release of antibiotics into the environment is related primarily to the potential for the development of antimicrobial resistance among microorganisms. This article presents an overview of analytical methodologies for the determination of quinolone (Qs) and fluoroquinolone (FQs), macrolide (MLs), tetracycline (TCs), sulfonamide (SAs) antibiotics and trimethoprim (TMP) in different environmental waters. The analysis of these antibiotics has usually been carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) or tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and to a lesser extent by ultraviolet (UV) or fluorescence detection (FD). A very important step before LC analysis is sample preparation and extraction leading to elimination of interferences and prevention of matrix effect and preconcentration of target analytes.     

Structural and Functional Implications of the Interaction between Macrolide Antibiotics and Bile Acids

Macrolide antibiotics, such as azithromycin and erythromycin, are in widespread use for the treatment of bacterial infections. Macrolides are taken up and excreted mainly by bile. Additionally, they have been implicated in biliary system diseases and to modify the excretion of other drugs through bile. Despite mounting evidence for the interplay between macrolide antibiotics and bile acids, the molecular details of this interaction remain unknown. Herein, we show by NMR measurements that macrolides directly bind to bile acid micelles. The topology of this interaction has been determined by solvent paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (solvent PREs). The macrolides were found to be bound close to the surface of the micelle. Increasing hydrophobicity of both the macrolide and the bile acid strengthen this interaction. Both bile acid and macrolide molecules show similar solvent PREs across their whole structures, indicating that there are no preferred orientations of them in the bile micelle aggregates. The binding to bile aggregates does not impede macrolide antibiotics from targeting bacteria. In fact, the toxicity of azithromycin towards enterotoxic E. coli (ETEC) is even slightly increased in the presence of bile, as was shown by effective concentration (EC₅₀) values.     

Sensitive liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry assay for the quantification of azithromycin in human plasma

A simple, rapid, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry method was developed and validated to quantify azithromycin in human plasma, using erythromycin as the internal standard (IS). A simple sample preparation method of protein precipitation with methanol was employed. Methanol, acetonitrile and water (12:30:58, v/v/v) were used as the isocratic mobile phase, with 0.1% formic acid and 0.1% ammonium acetate in water. Selected ion monitoring was specific for azithromycin and erythromycin. The assay was linear over the concentration range 4.69-600 ng/mL. The correlation coefficients for the calibration curves ranged from 0.9994 to 0.9998. The intra- and inter-day precisions, calculated from quality control samples, were less than 8.24%. The method was employed in a pharmacokinetic study after oral administration of 500 mg azithromycin dispersible tablet to 20 healthy volunteers.     

New Spectrophotometric Method for Azithromycin Determination

Abstract

Azithromycin (AZT), an antibiotic belonging to the family of macrolides, can be analyzed by a new spectrophotometric method based on the formation of an ion pair between this drug and an inorganic complex of (Mo(V)–thiocyanate) followed by its extraction with dichloroethane. This ion‐association complex shows an orange color and exhibits a maximum absorbance at 469 nm. The experimental conditions of the reaction were studied and optimized. The calibration graph was linear (r=0.9996) over the range 10^?6 M–10^?5 M of AZT. This simple and validated method has been successfully applied to the determination of azithromycin in pharmaceutical formulations with a mean relative standard deviation of 1.07% and mean recovery of 99.66%. The common excipients present in azithromycin formulations did not interfere in its determination. This new spectophotometric method has been applied successfully to illustrate the dissolution profiles of original tablets and generic compounds; hence, it could be employed in routine quality control of azithromycin in pharmaceutical dosage forms.     

A liquid chromatography–mass spectrometric method for the quantification of azithromycin in human plasma

A liquid chromatographic mass spectrometric assay for the quantification of azithromycin in human plasma was developed. Azithromycin and imipramine (as internal standard, IS) were extracted from 0.5 mL human plasma using extraction with diethyl ether under alkaline conditions. Chromatographic separation of drug and IS was performed using a C₁₈ column at room temperature. A mobile phase consisting of methanol, water, ammonium hydroxide and ammonium acetate was pumped at 0.2 mL/min. The mass spectrometer was operated in positive ion mode and selected ion recording acquisition mode. The ions utilized for quantification of azithromycin and IS were m/z 749.6 (M + H) ⁺ and m/z 591.4 (fragment) for azithromycin, and 281.1 m/z for internal standard; retention times were 6.9 and 3.4 min, respectively. The calibration curves were linear (r² > 0.999) in the concentration ranges of 10–1000 ng/mL. The mean absolute recoveries for 50 and 500 ng/mL azithromycin and 1 µg/ mL IS were >75%. The percentage coefficient of variation and mean error were <11%. Based on validation data, the lower limit of quantification was 10 ng/mL. The present method was successfully applied to determine azithromycin pharmacokinetic parameters in two obese volunteers. The assay had applicability for use in pharmacokinetic studies.

Transfer of silica gel TLC screening methods for clarithromycin,azithromycin, and amodiaquine + artesunate to HPTLC–densitometry with detection by reagentless thermochemical activation of fluorescence quenching

ABSTRACT

A previously published model process was used for the transfer of silica gel thin-layer chromatography (TLC) screening methods for clarithromycin, azithromycin, and amodiaquine?+?artesunate pharmaceutical formulations published in the Global Pharma Health Fund E.V. Minilab manual for the identification of counterfeit drugs to high-performance TLC–densitometry quantitative methods that can be used in support of regulatory compliance actions. In these new methods, detection of clarithromycin, azithromycin, and artesunate was achieved by thermochemical activation involving simple reagent-free heating of the layer to produce derivatives of the drugs that quench fluorescence under 254?nm ultraviolet light. Additional drugs with TLC screening methods published in the Minilab manual and/or Compendium of Unofficial Methods for Rapid Screening of Pharmaceuticals by Thin Layer Chromatography that do not naturally quench fluorescence were studied and also found to be detectable by thermochemical activation on silica gel layers. The conditions of the thermochemical activation were studied, and in situ spectra of drug zones before and after heating were obtained. Heat activation of fluorescence quenching seems to be a widely applicable detection method that is safer and more convenient than the use of chemical spray, dip, or vapor phase reagents.
