Abstract The development and validation of a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the determination of cetirizine dihydrochloride in oral formulations are described. An isocratic LC analysis was performed on a reversed-phase C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm id, 5 μm particle size). The mobile phase was 1% orthophosphoric acid solution, pH 3.0–acetonitrile (60 + 40, v/v), pumped at a constant flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Measurements were made at a wavelength of 232 nm. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 10–30 μg/mL (r2 = 0.9999). The relative standard deviation (RSD) values for intraday precision were 0.94 and 1.43% for tablets and compounded capsules, respectively. The RSD values for interday precision were 0.13 and 0.82% for tablets and compounded capsules, respectively. Recoveries ranged from 97.7 to 101.8% for tablets and from 98.4 to 102% for compounded capsules. No interferences from the excipients were observed. Because of its simplicity and accuracy, the method is suitable for routine quality-control analysis for cetirizine in tablets and compounded capsules.

Abstract The development and validation of a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the determination of sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate in capsules is described. An isocratic LC analysis was performed on a reversed-phase RP-18 column (250 4.6 mm id, 5 m particle size). The mobile phase consisted of methanolwatertriethylamine (80 + 20 + 0.5, v/v/v), with pH adjusted to 5.65 with 85 phosphoric acid, and was pumped at a constant flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Measurements were made at a wavelength of 223 nm. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 1540 g/mL [correlation coefficient (r2) = 0.9998]. The relative standard deviation (RSD) value for intraday precision was 0.84. The RSD value for interday precision was 0.90. Recoveries ranged from 99.64 to 100.66. No interferences from the excipients were observed. Because of its simplicity and accuracy, the method is suitable for routine quality control analysis of sibutramine in capsules.

Abstract An accurate, simple, reproducible, and sensible liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the determination of chlorpheniramine maleate and dexamethasone in a tablet formulation. The analysis was performed at room temperature on a reversed-phase C18 column with UV detection at 254 nm. The mobile phase consisted of 7.5 mM monobasic potassium phosphate in methanol–water (62.5 + 37.5) at a constant flow rate of 1 mL/min. The method was validated in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, and specificity by forced decomposition of chlorpheniramine maleate and dexamethasone initiated by using acid, base, water, hydrogen peroxide, heat, and light. The response was linear in the ranges of 0.04–0.12 and 0.006–0.016 mg/mL for chlorpheniramine maleate (r2 = 0.9999) and dexamethasone (r2 = 0.9994), respectively. The relative standard deviation values for intra- and interday precision studies were 2.39 and 2.02, respectively, for chlorpheniramine maleate and 2.39 and 1.25, respectively, for dexamethasone. Recoveries ranged from 95.07 to 101.95% for chlorpheniramine maleate and from 97.75 to 102.10% for dexamethasone.

Abstract Twelve laboratories participated in a collaborative study to evaluate precision parameters of a liquid chromatographic method for analysis of the glycoalkaloids α-solanine and α-chaconine in potato tubers. Samples consisted of frozen potato tuber homogenates distributed as 3 blind duplicates and 3 split-level pairs. The analytical method included aqueous extraction, workup on disposable solidphase extraction cartridges, and reversed-phase chromatography with photometric detection at 202 nm. Results for α-solanine and α-chaconine were received from 10 and 9 laboratories, respectively. Relative standard deviations for reproducibilo ity for α-solanine and α-chaconine were similar, ranging from 8 to 13% in the applied concentration range of 12 to 260 mg/kg fresh weight.

Abstract A method is described for the determination of the intermediates and a related impurity in D&C Red No. 36 by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. This method may be used to ensure that limits set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations on the amounts of these 3 impurities in the color are not exceeded. The pigment is dissolved in boiling dioxane and then precipitated. The filtrate is chromatographed by isocratic elution, and then the column is washed and reequilibrated. Impurities were identified as 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline (2-CI-4-NA), 2-naphthol, and 2,4-dinitroaniline (2,4-DNA) by comparison of their retention times and spectra with those of standards. Peak area calibrations were linear to at least 0.375% 2-CI-4-NA, 1.25% 2-naphthol, and 0.025% 2,4-DNA, all with zero intercepts. At the specification levels, 99% confidence limits were 0.30 ± 0.006% for 2-CI-4-NA, 1.0 ± 0.03% for 2-naphthol, and 0.020 ± 0.0004% for 2,4-DNA. The limits of determination calculated from calibration data were 0.019% for 2-CI-4-NA, 0.10% for 2-naphthol, and 0.0014% for 2,4-DNA at the 99% confidence level. Recoveries were 100-104% for 2-CI-4-NA added to purified D&C Red No. 36,100% for 2-naphthol, and 100-110% for 2,4-DNA; relative standard deviations were 0.8-3.4%. A survey of certified D&C Red No. 36 samples showed that the batches contained higher levels of intermediates than were determined previously by a cellulose column method in which the pigment was not dissolved.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method using a reversed- phase C18 column and octanesulfonic acid sodium salt-methanol as the mobile phase was developed for the simultaneous determination of phenobarbi- tal, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine in tablets. The mixture of the 3 drugs was resolved in <8 min. Detector responses were linear for 10 μL injections of the following: scopolamine hydrobromide, 8.25-206.3 μg/mL; hyoscyamine sulfate, 15.01-750.76 μg/mL; and phenobarbital, 250-751 μg/mL. Recoveries from tablets were 100.8% for scopolamine hydrobromide, 100.1% for hyoscyamine sulfate, and 100.3% for phenobarbital. Replicate injections of scopolamine hydrobromide, hyoscyamine sulfate, and phenobarbital gave an overall relative standard deviation of <1.0% (n = 10). The method detected as little as 3.3 ng scopolamine hydrobromide.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed for determining safrole in herbal products derived from sassafras (Sassafras albidumf as well as related compounds such as isosafrole and dihydrosafrole. The procedure involves solvent extraction and isolation of analyte by reversed-phase LC with UV detection at 235 nm. Safrole is resolved from related compounds and other sample constituents including thymol, a component of thyme. A linear concentration range of 0.003-0.200 mg/mL was obtained for safrole, isosafrole, and dihydrosafrole. Limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) were 0.0015 and 0.0051 μg/mL for safrole, 0.0018 and 0.0061 μg/mL for isosafrole, and 0.0038 and 0.0125 μg/mL for dihydrosafrole, respectively. Intraday relative standard deviations (RSDs) for safrole (n= 5) from various samples ranged from 1.30 to 5.39% at analyte levels of 0.01-1.5%. Safrole contents of 26 samples including root bark powder, leaves, oils, tea concentrate, herbal extract tinctures, and herbal powder capsules ranged from <LOD for most leaf samples to 92.4% for an oil. Recoveries of safrole from fortified samples ranged from 83.6% for an oil to 117.2% for a tincture preparation. Safrole contents of 0.09-4.66 mg/cup were found for brewed teas prepared from sassafras root bark powders and tinctures.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed for the quantitation of furazolidone residues in shrimp muscle. The shrimp homogenate (1.0 g) is extracted with acetonitrile, and the extract is taken to dryness. The residue is dissolved in acetonitrile, and the solution is passed through alumina and C18 cleanup columns. The eluate is taken to dryness and reconstituted in a suitable solvent for reversed-phase (C18) LC with UV detection at 365 nm. Recoveries of furazolidone from shrimp homogenates spiked from 5 to 80 ng/g ranged from 74.3 to 79.7%, and relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 5.0–8.9%. RSDs for incurred furazolidone quantitated at 5.9 and 9.2 ng/g were 6.6 and 7.6%, respectively.

Abstract A reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of ezetimibe and simvastatin in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The LC method was carried out on a Synergi fusion C18 column (150 mm 4.6 mm id) maintained at 45C. The mobile phase consisted of phosphate buffer 0.03 M, pH 4.5acetonitrile (35 + 65, v/v) run at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min, and detection was made using a photodiode array detector at 234 nm. The chromatographic separation was obtained within 15.0 min, and calibration graphs were linear in the concentration range of 0.5200 g/mL. Validation parameters such as specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, and robustness were evaluated, giving results within the acceptable range for both compounds. Moreover, the proposed method was successfully applied for the routine quality control analysis of pharmaceutical products.

Abstract An interlaboratory study of the liquid chromatographic (LC) determination of histamine in fish, sauerkraut, and wine was conducted. Diminuted and homogenized samples were suspended in water followed by clarification of extracts with perchloric acid, filtration, and dilution with water. After LC separation on a reversed-phase C18 column with phosphate buffer (pH 3.0)-acetonitrile (875 + 125, v/v) as mobile phase, histamine was measured fluorometrically (excitation, 340 nm; emission, 455 nm) in samples and standards after postcolumn derivatization with ophthaldialdehyde (OPA). Fourteen samples (including 6 blind duplicates and 1 split level) containing histamine at about 10- 400 mg/kg or mg/L were analyzed singly according to the proposed procedure by 11 laboratories. Results from one participant were excluded from statistical analysis. For all samples analyzed, repeatability relative standard deviations varied from 2.1 to 5.6%, and reproducibility relative standard deviations ranged from 2.2 to 7.1%. Average recoveries of histamine for this concentration range varied from 94 to 100%

Abstract A simple and reliable liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) in dietary supplement tablets. SAM in products was extracted with a phosphate buffer and separated from the mixture on a reversed-phase C8 column by ion-pair chromatography. A gradient mobile phase containing phosphate buffer, sodium octanesulfonate as the ion-pair reagent, and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min was used in the analysis. The UV detection wavelength was set at 257 nm. The calibration curve was linear over a range of 75–375 μg/mL for the SAM active ion with R2 = 0.9999. Replicate tests indicated good reproducibility of the method with a relative standard deviation of 0.9% (n = 8). The multiple extractions and recoveries from fortified products showed the high accuracy of the analysis. The use of the acidic buffer for SAM extraction and elution and the use of a fresh standard for each calibration to counteract the instability of the SAM compound significantly improved the accuracy of the method.
