Abstract The migraine prophylactic herb feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium L.) is marketed in the United States in a variety of forms and compositions. Although its therapeutic efficacy is still uncertain, the sesquiterpene lactone parthenolide is the constituent recommended to be measured for quality control of feverfew preparations. A validated liquid chromatographic method was developed and used to estimate parthenolide in a number of U.S. feverfew market products formulated as capsules, tablets, or crude powder. The method uses a Lichrosphere 5 C18 column, a mobile phase consisting of 50mM NaH2PO4 in H2O (solvent A), and CH3CN–MeOH (90 + 10, v/v; solvent B). Elution was run at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with a linear gradient of 50–15% A in B over 20 min and UV detection at 210 nm. The correlation coefficient for the calibration curve was 0.9999 over the range of 0.00–0.400 mg/mL. Overall recovery of parthenolide was 103.1%.

Abstract Progesterone and estrogens are hormones produced in the human body that are essential for regulating many vital functions. The three major estrogens produced by women are estriol, estradiol, and estrone. Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone in both men and women. Pharmaceuticals containing estrogens alone or estrogens in combination with progesterone are commonly used in therapy. Patients requiring unique combinations of the drugs rely on pharmacies to compound the ingredients. In order to assess the potency of drugs containing combinations of estrogens and progesterone, a method was developed to determine all four ingredients simultaneously. The liquid chromatographic method utilized a Bondapak C18 column with an isocratic mobile phase of acetonitrilewater (50 + 50, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and temperature of 30C. Under these conditions, the order of elution was estriol, estradiol, and estrone, followed by progesterone. UV detection was at 205 nm to monitor elution of the estrogens, then switched to 270 nm to monitor progesterone. The method was applied to the analysis of pharmacy-compounded drugs containing combinations of the hormones. Validation studies demonstrated that the method is accurate and precise.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of cymiazole residues in honey. This acaricide is determined on a reversed-phase (C18) column, with a CH3CN-O.OOIN HCI-NaCI mixture (950 mL + 50 mL + 0.3 g/L) as the mobile phase, and UV detection at 265 nm. Cymiazole is extracted with n-hexane from aqueous alkalinized (pH 9) honey solutions. No further cleanup of the honey extract was required before chromatographic analysis. Recoveries on control samples fortified with 0.01,0.10, and 1.00 ppm cymiazole ranged from 92 to 102%. The limit of determination was 0.01 ppm.

Abstract A new high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for clopidogrel determination in pharmaceutical formulations. The system consisted of an ACE 5 octadecylsilane (C18; 150 4.6 mm id), 5.0 m particle size column; methanol0.1 triethylamine (75 + 25, v/v), pH 5.3, mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min; and a diode array detector set at 220 nm. Specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, and robustness were the parameters evaluated. The retention time for clopidogrel was 6.8 min. To estimate specificity, an aqueous sample solution was subjected to degradation by ultraviolet light and by acid, alkaline, and oxidation media. The peaks of degradation products did not interfere with the compound signal, and there was no interference when a placebo solution was analyzed. Linearity over a concentration range of 10.0 to 90.0 g/mL was shown (correlation coefficient = 0.9998). Low values of relative standard deviation indicated the adequate intraday and interday precision. The average recovery was found as 99.16. In the robustness test, small modifications to the mobile phase composition did not affect the determination of clopidogrel. The proposed method proved to be simple, fast, and cost efficient for the intended use.

Abstract A collaborative study of a liquid chromatographic method for the determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 was conducted in laboratories located in the United States, Canada, South Africa, and Switzerland. Twenty-one artificially contaminated raw peanuts, peanut butter, and corn samples containing varying amounts of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 were distributed to participating laboratories. The test portion was extracted with methanol-0.1N HCl ( 4 + 1 ) , filtered, defatted with hexane, and then partitioned with methylene chloride. The concentrated extract was passed through a silica gel column. Aflatoxins B1 and G1 were derivatized with trifluoroacetic acid, and the individual aflatoxins were determined by reverse-phase liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Statistical analysis of the data was performed to determine or confirm outliers, and to compute repeatability and reproducibility of the method. For corn, relative standard deviations for repeatability (RSDr) for anatoxin B1 ranged from 27.2 to 8.3% for contamination levels from 5 through 50 ng/g. For raw peanuts and peanut butter, RSDr values for aflatoxin Bi were 35.0 to 41.2% and 11.2 to 19.1 %, respectively, for contamination levels from 5 through 25 ng/g. RSDr values for aflatoxins B2, G1, and G2 were similar. Relative standard deviations for reproducibility (RSDR) for aflatoxin B1 ranged from 15.8 to 38.4%, 24.4 to 33.4%, and 43.9 to 54.0% for corn, peanut butter, and raw peanuts, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action for the determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 in peanut butter and corn at concentrations ≥13 ng total aflatoxlns/g.
