Abstract Microemulsion eluents have been found to have excellent potential uses in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Here, a novel, environmentally benign and simple method using concentration/flow-rate double-gradient elution using a microemulsion eluent was used to separate water- and fat-soluble vitamins simultaneously and rapidly. Preliminary screening experiments were performed to determine the optimum column type, surfactant concentration, co-surfactant to surfactant ratio, oil, mobile phase pH and microemulsion concentration. The resolution and analysis time were simultaneously optimized using concentration/flow-rate double-gradient elution. The optimized method simultaneously separated water- and fat-soluble vitamins using a Venusil ASB C8 column and a combination of isocratic and linear gradient elution modes using a microemulsion mobile phase (solvent A) consisting of 3.5% (w/w) sodium dodecyl sulfate, 10.5% (w/w) n-butanol, 0.8% (w/w) n-octanol and 85.2% (w/w) water and water (solvent B) at pH 2.50. The optimum detection wavelength was 283 nm. The method was validated and used to analyze a solid pharmaceutical sample.

Introduction: Impurity analysis is an important step in the quality control of pharmaceutical ingredients and final product. Impurities can arise from drug synthesis or excipients and even at small concentrations may affect product efficacy and safety. In this work two methods using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were developed and validated for the evaluation of besifloxacin and its impurity synthesis, with isocratic elution and another with gradient elution. Method: The analysis by HPLC in isocratic elution mode was performed using a cyano column maintained at 25 °C. The mobile phase was composed by 0.5% triethylamine (pH 3.0): acetonitrile (88:12 v/v) eluted at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min with detection at 330 nm. The gradient elution method was carried out with the same column and mobile phase components only modifying the rate between organic and aqueous phase during analysis. The procedures have been validated according to internationally accepted guidelines, observing results within acceptable limits. Results: The methods presented were found to be linear in the 140 to 260 µg/ml range for besifloxacin and 0.3 to 2.3 µg/ml for an impurity named A. The limits of detection and quantification were respectively 0.07 and 0.3 µg/ml for impurity A, with a 20 µL injection volume. The precision achieved for all analyses performed provided RSD inter-day equal to 6.47 and 6.36% for impurity A with isocratic elution and gradient, respectively. The accuracy was higher than 99% and robustness exhibited satisfactory results. In the isocratic method an analysis time of 25 min and 15 min was obtained for gradient. For impurity A, the number of theoretical plates in the isocratic mode was about 5000 while in the gradient mode it was about 45000, hence, it made the column more efficient by changing the mobile phase composition during elution. In besifloxacin raw material and in pharmaceutical product used in this study, other related impurities were present but but impurity A was searched for and not detected Conclusion: The proposed methods can be applied for quantitative determination of impurities in the analysis of the besifloxacin raw material, as well as in ophthalmic suspension of the drug, considering the quantitation limit.

Abstract We used paired-ion high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the 4-nitrophenol content of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate, a substrate for alkaline phosphatase analysis. This was done on a reversed-phase column with a mobile phase of methanol/water, 45/55 by vol, containing 3 ml of tetrabutylammonium phosphate reagent per 200 ml of solvent. At a flow rate of 1 ml/min, 4-nitrophenol was eluted at 9 min and monitored at 404 nm; 4-nitrophenyl phosphate was eluted at 5 min and could be monitored at 311 nm. Samples of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate obtained from several sources contained 0.3 to 7.8 mole of 4-nitrophenol per mole of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate.

A simple, fast, precise and accurate ultra high performance liquid chromatography method was developed for degradation study of eletriptan hydrobromide (EH) under exaggerated conditions. An Inertsil ODS C18 (250 x 4.6 mm, 5µm) column in isocratic mode was used with mobile phase comprising of water, methanol and trifluoroacetic acid mixed in the ratio 55:45:0.1 % V/V/V, maintained at pH 3.5. The flow rate was set at 0.4 mL per minute with UV detection at 225 nm. The retention time of EH was found to be 3.7 minutes. Linearity for EH was found in the range of 3.5- 200 µg per mL and percentage recoveries were obtained in the range of 100.2 % to 100.6 %. The method was capable of resolving all degradants and principle component in sample. The proposed method is accurate, precise, selective, reproducible, and rapid for detection of degradation of eletriptan hydrobromide.

For the purpose of reducing pollution and the reutilization of salted egg whites, which are byproducts of the manufacturing process of salted egg yolks and normally treated as waste, an aqueous two-phase flotation (ATPF) composed of polyethylene glycols (PEG 1000) and (NH4)2SO4 was applied to develop a simple, inexpensive and efficient process for the separation of ovalbumin (OVA) from salted egg whites. The effects of the concentration of PEG, the concentration of (NH4)2SO4, the flow rate and the flotation time on the flotation efficiency (Y) and purity (P) of OVA were investigated. A response surface method (RSM) experiment was carried out on the basis of a single-factor experiment. An efficient separation was achieved using ATPF containing 5 mL of 80% PEG 1000 (w/w), 28 mL of 28% (NH4)2SO4 (w/w), 35 mL/min of the flow rate and 30 min of the flotation time, while 2 mL of the salted egg white solution (salted eggs white (v): water (v) = 1:4) was loaded. Under the optimal conditions, Y and P of OVA could reach 82.15 ± 0.24% and 92.98 ± 0.68%, respectively. The purified OVA was characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), liquid chromatography-nano electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (Nano LC-ESI-MS/MS), ultraviolet spectrum (UV), fluorescence spectrum (FL) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results indicated that the purity of OVA obtained by ATPF was satisfactory and there was no obvious difference in the structure of the OVA separated by ATPF and the standard. The results of the functional properties revealed no significant differences between OVA obtained by ATPF and the standard in oil binding capacity, viscosity, emulsibility and foam capacity.

AbstractTenuifolin was used as a reliable chemical marker for the quality control of Radix Polygalae. The determination of tenuifolin is challenging because the analyte molecule lacks a suitable chromophore. The aim of this study was to establish a microemulsion high-performance liquid chromatography (MELC) method which is robust and sensitive, and can separate and determine tenuifolin in Radix Polygalae using an oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsion mobile phase. The separations were performed on a C18 (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) column at 25 °C using a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, and an ultraviolet detection wavelength of 210 nm. The microemulsion mobile phase comprised 2.8% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 7.0% (v/v) n-butanol, 0.8% (v/v) n-octane and 0.1% (v/v) aqueous orthophosphate buffer (H3PO4). The linearity analysis of tenuifolin showed a correlation coefficient of 0.9923 in the concentration range of 48.00–960.00 µg/mL. The accuracy of the method based on three concentration levels ranged from 96.23% to 99.28%; the limit of detection (LOD) was 2.34 µg/mL, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 6.76 µg/mL. The results of our study indicated that the optimized MELC method was sensitive and robust, and can be widely applied for the separation and determination of tenuifolin in Radix Polygalae.

The present work demonstrates a simple, rapid, precise, specific, and sensitive reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for analyzing glimepiride in pure and tablet forms. The present method was developed using a C18 column 150 × 4.6 mm, with 5 μm, and packing L1 maintained at a temperature of 30°C. The mobile phase was prepared by dissolving 0.5 gram of monobasic sodium phosphate in 500 mL of distilled water, pH of the solution adjusted to 2.1 to 2.7 with 10% phosphoric acid, and added 500 mL of acetonitrile. The mobile phase was pumped in the highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, and separation was carried out at 228 nm, using an ultraviolet (UV) detector. The chromatographic separation was achieved with peak retention time (RT) at about 9.30 minutes, and the method was found to be linear over a concentration range of 40 to 140 μg/mL. The specificity of the method represented no interference of the excipients during the analysis, and stability testing after 24 hours also showed that the method is suitable and specific. The accuracy was between 99.93 to 99.96%, with limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) being 0.354 μg/mL, 1.18 μg/mL, respectively. Satisfactory results were found for precision and robustness parameters during the development and validation stage for the analytical method. The proposed method was also adopted for the analysis of glimepiride tablets to improve the overall quality control. Using this method, symmetric peak shape was obtained with reasonable retention time. The retention time of glimepiride for six repetitions is 9.3 ± 0.1 minutes; the run time is 21 minutes. The proposed RP-HPLC method is a modification of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) method, and it was found to be valid for glimepiride within concentration ranges 40 to 140 μg/mL, using C18 analytical columns, and isocratic elution with UV detection, and at 1 mL/min of flow rate.
