Abstract A method is presented for the liquid chromatographic (LC) determination of ergotamine tartrate in tablets that is applicable even in the presence of other ingredients such as phenobarbital, belladonna alkaloids, and caffeine. The sample is transferred to a volumetric flask, a small volume of formic acid is added to dissolve and stabilize the ergotamine, and the solution is diluted to volume with methanol. The solution is mixed and filtered through paper. The LC system consists of a Rheodyne injector fitted with a 20 μL loop and a C,18 reverse phase column; the mobile phase is acetonitrile-water-triethylamine (700 + 300 + 0.5). Ergotamine tartrate is determined fluorometrically at an excitation wavelength of 250 nm and an emission wavelength of 430 nm. Recovery studies were conducted at the 0.3 and 1.0 mg levels. Average recoveries were 99.6 and 100.8%, respectively; relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 1.08 and 2.21%, respectively. Some commercial preparations containing ergotamine tartrate in combination with other ingredients were also analyzed. The RSDs for 5 determinations of each of 2 ground composites were 0.09 and 0.34%.

Abstract A rapid, sensitive and precise liquid chromatographic method is presented for the determination of aztreonam alone, in the presence of its degradation product, and in a parenteral formulation containing L-arginine. A reverse phase column and 0.2M phosphate buffer (pH 6)-methanol (95 + 5) with mobile phase at a flow rate of 2 mL/min is used. The method is sensitive for the range of 10-50 μg/mL with a relative standard deviation of less than 2%. The method has been applied to a parenteral formulation containing aztreonam and L-arginine. L-Arginine is also determined by a nonaqueous titrimetric method.

Abstract A single column reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of vitamins D2 and D3 in fluid milk. Resolution of vitamin D2 from D3 is helpful for use as an internal standard. The method involves overnight saponification at room temperature, extraction of unsaponifiables, precipitation of cholesterol, and aluminum oxide column cleanup. Sample extracts were chromatographed under isocratic conditions on a 10 μVydac reverse phase column using acetonitrile- methanol (90 + 10) as the mobile phase. In addition, a MicroPak MCH-5 reverse phase column with acetonitrile as the mobile phase was used with an automatic system for one product type. Thirty samples each of homogenized (3.8% fat), low fat (2.07c fat), and skim (≤0.5% fat) milk spiked with 200,400, and 600 IU vitamin D/qt were analyzed. Coefficient of variation (CV) and percent recovery for each product type and each spike level of vitamins D2 and D3 were calculated from 10 replicate analyses. Vitamin D2 recoveries for all product types at the 3 fortification levels varied from 85.2 to 99.7%; vitamin D3 recoveries varied from 85.9 to 98.8%. The minimum detectable quantity of vitamin D in milk was 15IU/qt.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method, using a reverse phase C18 column, an acetic acid-methanol-water mobile phase, and detection at 280 nm, was developed for the determination of methyldopa in tablets and oral suspensions and combinations of methyldopa with hydrochlorothiazide or chlorothiazide in tablets. A mixture of these 3 drugs was resolved in <8 min. Detector responses were linear for the following amounts (mg/mL) of drug injected: methyldopa 0.031-0.393, chlorothiazide 0.019-0.114, and hydrochlorothiazide 0.004-0.083. Recoveries from commercial dosage forms ranged from 99.1 to 100.9% for methyldopa, 99.2-100.4% for chlorothiazide, and 100.0-101.2% for hydrochlorothiazide. Replicate injections of methyldopa, chlorothiazide, and hydrochlorothiazide standard preparations alone or in combination gave overall relative standard deviations of <1.6% (n = 10). The results for methyldopa tablets by the proposed method were in agreement with those obtained by the USP XX method. The LC method detected as little as 0.6 μg 3-O-methylmethyldopa/mL and 0.5 μg 4-amino-6- chloro-l,3-benzenedisulfonamide/mL, which are sometimes found as contaminants of methyldopa and thiazides, respectively, and resolved methyldopa from its methyldopa glucose adduct, a substance found in methyldopa oral suspensions.

Abstract A reverse-phase liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of carminic acid in yogurt. A C18 column is used with acetonitrile-1.19M formic acid (19 + 81) as mobile phase and diode array detection. Sample preparation includes deproteinization with papain and purification in a polyamide column. The relative standard deviation for repeated determinations of carminic acid in a commercial strawberry-flavored yogurt was 3.0%. Recoveries of carminic acid added to a natural-flavored yogurt ranged from 87.2 to 95.3% with a mean of 90.2%. The method permits measurement of amounts as low as 0.10 mg/kg.

Abstract Derivative UV-spectrophotometric and liquid chromatographic (LC) methods for fleroxacin determination were validated. In the spectrophotometric assay, first-, second-, third-, and fourth-order measurements were applied with the use of peak–zero and peak–peak techniques. The linear correlation between amplitude of the peak and concentration of the examined drug ranged from 2.0 to 12.0 μg/mL. An isocratic LC analysis was performed on a Purospher ODS column with an acidic mobile phase containing tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. Measurements were made at a wavelength of 285 nm with 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) as internal standard. The calibration curve was linear (r = 0.9999) in the studied range of concentration (1.0–10.0 μg/mL). The accuracy (mean recovery, about 100%), precision (relative standard deviation <1%), selectivity, and sensitivity of the elaborated methods were satisfactory.

Abstract Liquid chromatographic methods are described for the separation and determination of non-nutritive sweeteners, namely, acesulfame, aspartame, saccharin, and dulcin; preservatives such as benzoic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid; and caffeine and vanillin in ready-toserve beverages, ice candy, ice cream, squash beverage, tomato sauce, and dry beverage mix samples. These additives are separated on a ^Bondapak C18 column using methanol-acetic acid-water (20 + 5 + 75) as mobile phase and detected by UV absorption at 254 nm. Caffeine, vanillin, dulcin, and benzoic acid can be analyzed quickly by using a mobile phase of methanol-acetic acid-water (35 + 5 + 60). Aspartame can be separated in the presence of caffeine and vanillin by using the mobile phase pH 3 acetate buffer-methanol (95 + 5). Retention factors and minimum detectable limits are described. The percentage error and the percent relative standard deviation for 6 replicate samples ranged from 0.3 to 2.8 and from 1.64 to 3.60, respectively. Recovery of additives added to the foods named and analyzed by the direct method and by extraction ranged from 98.0 to 100.6% and from 91.6 to 101.8%, respectively. The proposed LC techniques are simple, rapid, and advantageous because all the additives can be detected in a single step, which makes it useful for the routine analysis of various food products.

Abstract The performance characteristics of a liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the analysis of decoquinate (DEC) in supplements, premixes, and complete animal feeds at medicating and trace levels were collaboratively studied. DEC is extracted from ground feed samples with 1 calcium chloridemethanol solution using mechanical agitation for 90 min. After centrifugation for 5 min and dilution (if necessary), an aliquot of the extract is diluted with water. The diluted extracts are filtered and analyzed by reversed-phase LC with fluorescence detection. Suspect positive trace-level samples are confirmed by using an alternate excitation wavelength. Fourteen test samples of medicated feeds, supplement, and medicated premix, along with 8 test samples for trace-level analysis, were sent to 13 collaborators (one in Canada, 4 in Europe, and 8 in the United States). Test samples were analyzed as blind duplicates. Acceptable results were received from 12 laboratories for the medicated test samples and from 13 laboratories for the trace-level samples. Repeatability relative standard deviation estimates ranged from 1.3 to 5.6. Reproducibility relative standard deviations estimates ranged from 2.8 to 6.1, and HorRat values ranged from 0.22 to 0.74.

Abstract In this improved method for quantifying 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (MHPG) in urine, after a multistep extraction of MHPG and internal standard (iso-MHPG) from 3.0 mL of urine, the compounds are separated on a C18 reversed-phase column and quantified by use of an electro-chemical detector. The isocratic chromatographic separation takes about 16 min. The mobile phase is phosphate buffer/acetonitrile (88/12 by vol), the flow rate 0.7 mL/min. Recycling the mobile phase and automating the sample injection make possible the unattended assay of more than 70 samples per day. The within-run precision of the method is excellent (CV 1.8%) at a mean concentration of 1.1 mg/L.
