Abstract We report an isocratic "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic (HPLC) procedure for measurement of five orally administered cephalosporins (cefixime, cefaclor, cefadroxil, cephalexin, and cephradine) in 0.1 mL of human serum. Serum protein is precipitated with acetonitrile, the sample is centrifuged, and the supernate is evaporated under nitrogen. The residue is reconstituted in 0.1 mL of mobile phase, and 50 to 80 microL of this is injected onto a reversed-phase Altex Ultrasphere Octyl (C8) column. The five cephalosporins are resolved by elution with a pH 2.6 mobile phase of methanol/monobasic phosphate buffer (20/80) by vol), flow rate 2 mL/min. The column effluent is monitored at 240 nm. Cefixime serves as the internal standard for the analysis of the four other compounds, cephalexin as the internal standard for cefixime. We used two standard curves for all compounds: a low-range curve for concentrations commonly observed clinically and a higher-range curve for higher concentrations. The former were linear from 1.0 to 10 mg/L for cefaclor, cefadroxil, cephalexin, and cephradine and from 0.1 to 1 mg/L for cefixime. The high-concentration curves were linear from 1 to 10 mg/L for cefixime and from 10 to 100 mg/L for the other compounds. The detection limits were 0.1 mg/L for cefixime, 1 mg/L for the other cephalosporins. Mean within-run and day-to-day CVs were always less than 15% for all compounds studied.

Active pharmaceutical ingredients such as isoniazid, pyrazinamide and rifampicin are among the most important first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. A simple, rapid and sensitive reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatographic assay method for the simultaneous determination of isoniazid, pyrazinamide and rifampicin has been developed. Separation of the interest compounds was achieved in a 10 min chromatographic run in gradient elution mode on a Zorbax SB-C18 stainless steel column (150 � 4 mm, 5 mm) using a guard column containing the same stationary phase. The gradient elution was carried out with a mobile phase of 10% CH3CN aqueous solution for channel A and 50% CH3CN in pH = 6.8 phosphate buffer (20 mM), to which 1.5 mL triethylamine were added for channel B. Quantification of the analyzed substances was carried out spectrophotometrically at 269 nm. Detection limits of 0.48 mg/L for isoniazid, 0.52 mg/L for pyrazinamide and 0.48 mg/L for rifampicin were established for the developed assay method. The present work showed that the proposed analysis method was advantageous for simple and rapid analysis of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in pharmaceuticals and biological fluids.

Abstract We describe a high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure for the simultaneous measurement of vitamins K1 and E in human serum. Delipidated human serum (free of vitamins K1 and E) was used to make standard solutions of these vitamins, and cetyl naphthoate and alpha-tocopheryl acetate were the internal standards for vitamin K1 and vitamin E, respectively. A simple, novel separation method utilizing liquid-liquid partition chromatography was used as a preparative "clean-up" procedure. Cetyl naphthoate and vitamin K1 (after post-column reduction) were detected by fluorescence, alpha-tocopheryl acetate and vitamin E by ultraviolet absorption. Sensitivity (detection limit) of the assay was 30 pg for vitamin K1 and 5 ng for vitamin E per injection. The method is specific, precise, and more rapid than previously described procedures. Within- and between-assay CVs were 8.1% and 12.9%, respectively, for vitamin K1; 3.5% and 6.0%, respectively, for vitamin E. Analytical recoveries of vitamins K1 and E were 80% and 93%, respectively, from serum and from delipidated serum (standards). The average neonatal serum concentration of vitamin K1 was 83 ng/L, 2.5 mg/L for vitamin E; for normolipidemic adults, the values were 343 ng/L and 7.9 mg/L, respectively, and for hyperlipidemic adults, 541 ng/L and 11.1 mg/L, respectively.
