Development and validation of a quantification method for α-humulene and trans-caryophyllene in Cordia verbenacea by high performance liquid chromatography

This study was designed to develop and validate a simple and efficient high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to determine flunixin concentrations in Asian elephant’s (Elephas maximus) plasma. Flunixin was administered orally at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg, and blood samples were collected. Flunixin extraction was performed by adding an equal amount of acetonitrile to plasma and centrifuging at 4500 rpm for 25 minutes. The supernatant was removed, and flunixin was analyzed using HPLC-UV detection. Two methods were developed and tested utilizing two different mobile phases either with or without adding methanol (ACN: H2O vs. ACN: H2O: MeOH). Both methods showed excellent linearity and reproducibility. The limit of detection was 0.05 ug/ml and limit of quantification was 0.1 ug/ml. the efficiency of flunixin recovery was maximized by the addition of methanol to mobile phase (ACN: H2O: MeOH as 50:30:20) at 95% in comparison to 23% without methanol. In conclusion, adding methanol to HPLC methods for extraction of flunixin from elephants’ plasma yielded higher recovery rate than without methanol.

Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide

The present work describes a validated reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) method for simultaneous estimation of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and quinidine sulphate in pharmaceutical dosage from. The drugs were resolved using Hemochrom Intsil C18-5U column (250×4.6) mm in isocratic mode with mobile phase methanol: water (0.08% diethylamine, 0.02% of glacial acetic acid and pH 4.4 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid) in the ratio of 70:30 V/V at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Retention time of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and quinidine sulphate were 4.9±0.2 and 3.6±0.2, respectively, at 292nm. The above mentioned method was validated as per International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Linear responses were obtained in concentration ranges of 5-35 μg/mL for dextromethorphan hydrobromide and 4-16 μg/mL for quinidine sulphate, with correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.999 for both the drugs. A simple, selective, accurate, precise, robust and reliable RP-HPLC method thus developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and quinidine sulphate.
