Abstract A high-pressure liquid chromatographic method is presented for the isolation and determination of uncombined intermediates in FD&C Yellow No. 6 (sunset yellow FCF, CI. No. 15895). Samples of FD&C Yellow No. 6 containing 0.1-0.4% sulfanilic acid, 0.1-0.4% 6-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, and 0.3— 1.0% 6,6'-oxybis(2-naphthalenesulfonic acid) were prepared and analyzed using this method. Recoveries ranged between 94 and 101%. Twenty-two samples of FD&C Yellow No. 6 were analyzed by the conventional column elution chromatographic method as well as by the high-pressure liquid chromatographic method. Good agreement was obtained between the 2 methods.

Abstract A high-pressure liquid chromatographic method was developed for the isolation and determination of uncombined intermediates in FD&C Red No. 40 (Allura Red AC, food color). Samples of FD&C Red No. 40 containing 0.1–0.4% cresidine sulfonic acid, 0.1–0.4% Schaeffer's salt, and 0.3–1.0% 6,6'-oxybis(2-naphthalenesulfonic acid) were prepared and analyzed using this method. Recoveries ranged between 92 and 101%. When 32 samples of FD&C Red No. 40 were analyzed by the conventional column chromatographic method as well as by the high-pressure liquid chromatographic method, good agreement was obtained between the 2 methods.

Abstract Patulin is extracted from apple butter samples with ethyl acetate and the extract is cleaned up on a silica gel column, using benzene-ethyl acetate (75+25) as the eluant. High-pressure liquid chromatography, using a 25 cm Zorbax-Sil column, isooctane-ethyl ether-acetic acid (750+250+0.5) as the mobile solvent, and a 254 nm ultraviolet detector, is used for the determinative step. Under these conditions, patulin is eluted before 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, a component of apple butter which interferes with other liquid chromatographic and thin layer chromatographic methods. Recoveries of patulin added at levels of 34.6, 138.4, and 276.8 μg/kg ranged from 89.0 to 112.1%.

Abstract A high pressure liquid chromatographic method for determining probenecid in oral suspensions of amoxicillin was applied to the determination of probenecid in oral suspensions of ampicillin. Three preparations containing various known amounts of probenecid in synthetic mixtures of ampicillin oral suspensions were analyzed by 5 chemists in an intralaborastory study, with satisfactory results. Blind duplicates of 3 prepared oral suspensions were sent to 12 collaborators, who were instructed to analyze the samples in a fixed random order. The standards showed a satisfactory linear response. Average recoveries of probenecid in the interlaboratory study for the 6 mixtures ranged from 95.2 to 99.1%, and the coefficients of variation ranged from 1.63 to 4.9%.

SummaryA convenient, accurate and reproducible high pressure liquid chromatographic method for the quantitation of radio-labelled vitamin K1 and vitamin K1 epoxide in plasma is described. The method involves the determination of total ether extractable radioactivity, and a chromatographic separation to determine the relative quantities of radio-labelled vitamin K1 and vitamin K1 epoxide. The method is useful over a wide range of ratios of the two compounds, and has a coefficient of variation of approximately 5%.

Abstract We describe a sensitive and precise high-pressure liquid chromatographic method in which acetoacetanilide is used as the internal standard to simultaneously determine acetaminophen and phenacetin in plasma. Therapeutic as well as toxic concentrations can be determined on as little as 0.1 ml of plasma. Sample preparation is rapid and chromatography is complete in 5 min. Quantitation is accurate at 0.5 mg/liter concentration for both drugs. Day-to-day precision within 5% is attainable. Of 36 other drugs tested, only theophylline interfered, with the determination of acetaminophen.

Abstract A high-pressure liquid chromatographic method is presented for the isolation and determination of uncombined intermediates and subsidiary colors in FD&C Blue No. 2 (indigotine, C.I. No. 73015). Samples of FD&C Blue No. 2 containing 0.1–0.3% isatin, 0.1–0.3% isatin 5-sulfonic acid, 0.1–5.0% monosulfonated indigo, and 1.0–18.0% 5,7’-disulfonated indigo were prepared and analyzed by using this method. Recoveries ranged between 92 and 102%.
