Abstract A simple, rapid, and sensitive reversed-phase column high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated to quantify camptothecin (CPT) in polymeric nanocapsule suspensions. The chromatographic separation was performed on a Supelcosil LC-18 column (15 cm 4.6 mm id, 5 m) using a mobile phase consisting of methanol10 mM KH2PO4 (60 + 40, v/v; pH 2.8) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and ultraviolet detection at 254 nm. The calibration graph was linear from 0.5 to 3.0 g/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9979, and the limit of quantitation was 0.35 g/mL. The assay recovery ranged from 97.3 to 105.0. The intraday and interday relative standard deviation values were <5.0. The validation results confirmed that the developed method is specific, linear, accurate, and precise for its intended use. The current method was successfully applied to the evaluation of CPT entrapment efficiency and drug content in polymeric nanocapsule suspensions during the early stage of formulation development.

Abstract A rapid, accurate, and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the determination of ceftazidime in pharmaceuticals. The method validation parameters yielded good results and included range, linearity, precision, accuracy, specificity, and recovery. The excipients in the commercial powder for injection did not interfere with the assay. Reversed-phase chromatography was used for the HPLC separation on a Waters C18 (WAT 054275; Milford, MA) column with methanolwater (70 + 30, v/v) as the mobile phase pumped isocratically at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The effluent was monitored at 245 nm. The calibration graph for ceftazidime was linear from 50.0 to 300.0 g/mL. The values for interday and intraday precision (relative standard deviation) were <1. The results obtained by the HPLC method were calculated statistically by analysis of variance. We concluded that the HPLC method is satisfactory for the determination of ceftazidime in the raw material and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract Column high-performance liquid chromatographic (LC) and UV spectrophotometric methods for the quantitative determination of citalopram, a potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, in tablets were developed. The parameters linearity, precision, accuracy, specificity, robustness, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation were studied according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. Chromatography was carried out by the reversed-phase technique on an ACE C18 column with a mobile phase composed of 0.30 triethylamine solutionacetonitrile (55 + 45, v/v) adjusted to pH 6.6 with 10 ortho-phosphoric acid at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and 25C. The UV spectrophotometric method was performed at 239 nm. The linearity of the LC method was in the range of 10.0070.00 g/mL, and 2.5017.50 g/mL for the UV spectrophotometric method. The interday and intraday assay precision was <1.5 (relative standard deviation) for the LC and UV spectrophotometric methods. The recoveries were in the range 100.70101.35 for the LC method and 98.4898.65 for the UV spectrophotometric method. Statistical analysis by Student's t-test showed no significant difference between the results obtained by the 2 methods. The proposed methods are highly sensitive, precise, and accurate and can be used for the reliable quantitation of citalopram in tablets.

Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor drug, is used for the treatment of breast cancer in pre- and postmenopausal women. Anastrozole’s incorporation into nanoparticulate carriers would enhance its therapeutic performance. To perceive the exact loaded amount of drug in nanocarriers, a valid analytical method is required. The reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated by using the C18 column, 150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm particle size, in isocratic mobile phase composed of 50:50 V/V (volume/volume) acetonitrile–phosphate buffer (pH 3) flowing at a rate of 1.0 mL/min, and a diode array detector (DAD) set at λmax = 215 nm. The validation parameters such as linearity, accuracy, specificity, precision, and robustness have proven the accuracy of the method, with the relative standard deviation percentage (% RSD) values < 2. The limit of detection of the method was found equal to 0.0150 µg/mL, and the limit of quantitation was 0.0607 µg/mL. The percent recovery of sample was in the range of 98.04–99.25%. The method has the advantage of being rapid with a drug retention time of 2.767 min, specific in terms of resolution of peaks void of interference with any of the excipients, and high reproducibility. This makes it highly applicable for quality control purposes.

A rapid, highly sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of finasteride(FNS) in bulk drug and in tablets. FNS was eluted from a ODS C18reversed phase column at laboratory temperature (30 ± 2°C) with a mobile phase consisting of methanol and water (80+20) at a flow rate of 1 mL min-1with UV detection at 225 nm. The retention time was ∼ 6.1 min and each analysis took not more than 10 min. Quantitation was achieved by measurement of peak area without using any internal standard. Calibration graph was linear from 2.0 to 30 μg mL-1with limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) being 0.2 and 0.6 μg mL-1, respectively. The method was validated according to the current ICH guidelines. Within-day co efficients of variation (CV) ranged from 0.31 to 0.69% and between-day CV were in the range 1.2-3.2%. Recovery of FNS from the pharmaceutical dosage forms ranged from 97.89 – 102.9 with CV of 1.41-4.13%. The developed method was compared with the official method for FNS determination in its tablet forms.

A high performance liquid chromatographic method for determination of rifabutin in human plasma was  developed. The method involved deproteinisation of the sample with acetonitrile and analysis of the  supernatant using a reversed-phase C18 column (250mm) and UV detection at a wavelength of 265nm.  The assay was specific for rifabutin and linear from 0.025 to 10.0μg/ml. The relative standard deviation  of intra- and inter-day assays was lower than 10%. The method was able to remove interfering materials  in plasma, yielding an average recovery of rifabutin from plasma of 101%. Due to its simplicity, the assay  can be used for pharmacokinetic studies of rifabutin.

Abstract A sensitive, precise, and specific gas chromatographic (GC) method was developed for the analysis of capsaicin in Gochujang and validated by comparing with a column high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method (AOAC 995.03). The method validation parameters yielded good results, including linearity, precision, accuracy, and recovery. The GC separation was performed on a (5 phenyl)-methylpolysiloxane column [length 30 m, internal diameter (id) 250 μm, film thickness 0.25 μm] followed by flame ionization detection. The conditions of temperature programming were initially 220Cfor 1min, rampat5C/minto270C, and hold for 10 min. The recovery of capsaicin in Gochujang was more than 92, and the detection limit and lower determination limit of the GC analysis were 1.0 and 5.0 μg/g, respectively. The calibration graph for capsaicin was linear from 1 to 250 μg/mL for GC and 0.5 to 50 μg/mL for HPLC. The interday and intraday precisions (relative standard deviations) were &lt;4.02.

AbstractA pre-column derivatized high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with ultraviolet-visible detection was developed to measure the concentrations of spectinomycin in fermentation broth. Derivatization reagents, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in acetonitrile (5 mg mL−1) and trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile (0.8 mol L−1), were added to an aliquot of the fermentation broth, and the mixture was incubated for 60 min at 70°C. The resulting derivative was separated from other compounds by isocratic elution in a reversed-phase column Zorbax SB-C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm). Mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and water (φ r = 40: 35: 25) and the flow rate was 1.0 mL min−1. The detection wavelength was 415 nm. The standard curve for spectinomycin sulfate was linear with correlation coefficients of 0.9997 in the range of 25 µg mL−1 to 600 µg mL−1. The relative standard deviation values ranged from 0.43 % to 2.18 % depending on the concentration of samples. The average recovery was 101.5 %. The limit of detection was 50 ng mL−1.
