Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for the determination of coumarin anticoagulants in tablets was collaboratively studied by 7 laboratories. The method uses an octadecylsilane-bonded microparticulate column, tetrahydrofuran-methanol-water-acetic acid mobile phase, and photometric detection at 311 nm. Each collaborator received samples of warfarin sodium, phenprocoumon, and dicumarol as a synthetic composite and as commercial individual and composited tablets. Pooled average assay values for synthetic and commercial tablet samples of warfarin sodium were 101.6 and 99.5%, respectively, with a combined reproducibility SD of 2.38% (CV = 2.37%) and combined repeatability SD of 1.49% (CV = 1.49%). Pooled average (SD) assay values for dicumarol and phenprocoumon commercial samples were 98.0 (2.27) and 101.3% (4.00), respectively. The content uniformity determinations of 2 mg warfarin sodium and 25 mg dicumarol tablets indicated average tablet contents (range) of 99.5% (91.0-116.0) and 98.0% (89.8-108.8), respectively. The method has been approved interim official first action

Abstract A method is described for the determination of bisacodyl in entericcoated tablets and suppositories by liquid chromatography (LC). The method will also determine the hydrolysis degradation products monoacetylbisacodyl and desacetylbisacodyl. The sample is dissolved in 2- propanol, and the extract is diluted with the mobile phase and injected into a liquid chromatograph fitted with a μBondapak C18 column and an ultraviolet detector set at 254 nm. The column is eluted with methanol- acetonitrile-0.01M citric acid (25 + 25 + 50). The pooled mean recovery value for bisacodyl from commercial enteric-coated tablets and suppositories was 99.7 % with a pooled coefficient of variation (CV) of 0.72%. For content uniformity assays, the CVs were 0.7 and 1.0% for groups of 10 individual commercial suppositories and tablets, respectively. Differences between assay values by the LC and USP XX methods were 0.2% of declared for enteric-coated tablets (n = 5) and 1.0% of declared for suppositories (n = 2). The LC method can determine as little as 0.015 μg of the monoacetyl or desacetyl degradation product.

Abstract A simple and rapid liquid chromatographic method is described for the qualitative and quantitative determination of 5 coumarin anticoagulants in tablet composites and individual tablets. Analyses are carried out on a C18 reverse phase column using tetrahydrofuran-methanol-water-acetic acid (35 + 10 + 65 + 0.1) as mobile phase and photometric detection at 311 nm. The coefficients of variation for 10 consecutive injections of a mixed standards solution ranged from 0.28% for ethyl biscoumacetate to 0.78% for acenocoumarol. Standard recoveries were as follows: acenocoumarol, 99.3%; dicumarol, 99.6%; phenprocoumon, 101.6%; and warfarin sodium, 99.0%. The method was linear between 2 and 8 μg of drug injected. Assay results agreed favorably with those of the USP XX methods for dicumarol, phenprocoumon, and warfarin, and the NF XIV method for acenocoumarol. In addition, close correspondence was found with the results previously reported for the same drugs by a semiautomated spectrophotometric method. The content uniformity testing of individual 50 mg dicumarol tablets and 5 mg warfarin sodium tablets by the proposed method gave average (SD) values of 100.32% (0.64) and 101.00% (0.14), respectively, whereas these values were 101.60% (1.81) and 101.80% (0.18), respectively, by the method of USP XX.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of propyl paraben in cigarette tobacco filler has been developed. Propyl paraben is extracted from cigarette tobacco filler with acetonitrile and further purified using a silica Sep-Pak® cartridge and ethyl acetate-petroleum ether (1 + 4) as eluting solvent. The purified extracts are analyzed by reverse-phase liquid chromatography using buffered water (pH 4)-acetonitrile (65 + 35) as mobile phase, with UV detection at 254 nm. Cut tobacco samples were fortified with 100 and 200 ppm propyl paraben. Average recoveries (N = 5) of propyl paraben were 98 and 94%, respectively, with coefficients of variation less than 4%.

Abstract A simple, isocratic liquid chromatographic method for assay of thalidomide in tablets, capsules, and raw materials was developed. The method uses a Nova-Pak octadecylsilane bonded-phase column (150 × 3.9 mm, 4 μm particle size), a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (15 + 85), a flow rate of 1 mL/min, detection at 237 nm, and phenacetin as internal standard. Phosphoric acid was used in preparation of sample solutions to inhibit thalidomide hydrolysis. Assays ranged from 99.3 to 100.4% in raw materials from 4 manufacturers, from 79.7 to 104.8% in tablets from 7 manufacturers, and from 75.3 to 102.6% in capsules from 4 manufacturers. Assay method precisions for triplicate analyses on 5 days were 0.30% for tablets, 0.22% for capsules, and 0.22% for raw materials. Recovery from simulated tablet formulations was 100%. The method has been used to analyze individual tablets and capsules for determination of content uniformity.
