Abstract A sensitive HPLC method with simple extraction was developed for simultaneous determination of huperzine A (HupA) and huperzine B (HupB) in Huperzia serrata, H. crispata, H. miyoshiana, and Lycopodiastrum casuarinoides. In order to avoid conventional multiple-step and time-consuming sample preparation methods, direct reflux extraction with alkaline chloroform was adopted. The quantitative determination was conducted by reversed-phase HPLC with a photodiode array detector set at 308 nm. Separation was performed on a Luna C18 column (250 4.6 mm id, 5 m) with methanol0.2 aqueous acetic acid (18 + 82, v/v) mobile phase. The method was validated for accuracy, reproducibility, precision, and limits of detection and quantification. Quantification of the two active compounds in the samples was performed by this newly developed method, and the content of HupA and HupB varied substantially among four different species. The satisfactory results indicated that the developed method can readily be utilized for quality control of the species of Huperziaceae and Lycopodiaceae containing the two compounds.

Abstract An HPLC method for simultaneous determination of vitamins A and D3 in fluid milk was developed and validated. Saponification and extraction conditions were studied for optimum recovery and simplicity. An RP HPLC system equipped with a C18 column and diode array detector was used for quantitation. The method was subjected to a single-laboratory validation using skim, 2% fat, and whole milksamples at concentrations of 50, 100, and 200% of the recommended fortification levels for vitamins A and D3 for Grade “A” fluid milk. The method quantitation limits for vitamins A and D3 were 0.0072 and 0.0026 μg/mL,respectively. Average recoveries between 94 and 110%and SD values ranging from 2.7 to 6.9% were obtainedfor both vitamins A and D3. The accuracy of the method was evaluated using a National Institute of Standards and Technology standard reference material (1849a) and proficiency test samples.

A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of cefaclor and ceftriaxone cephalosporin antibiotic. The developed method has been validated and applied to mixtures of the commercial formulation and spiked human plasma. A mediterranea C<sub>18</sub> column (4.6 × 250 mm) was used with isocratic solvent delivery system and UV-visible detector. Different experimental parameters like solvent composition (acetonitrile: methanol: triethyl amine buffer 1:1:2 (v/v), flow rate of mobile phase (0.6 mLmin<sup>-1</sup>), pH of the buffer (7), and wavelength (260 nm) were optimized for effective separation and esolution of the analyte peaks. The separation was achieved in 6 min with retention times of 4.94 ± 0.056 min and 3.39 ± 0.022 min for cefaclor and ceftriaxone respectively. The linear range for both the studied drugs was found to be 0.5-250 μgmL<sup>-1</sup> with r<sup>2</sup> of 0.9987 (cefaclor) and 0.9997 (ceftriaxone). The limit of detection (3.3 σ/S) was found to be 2.34 × 10<sup>-2</sup> μgmL−1 and 1.70 × 10−2 μgmL<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, for cefaclor and ceftriaxone. Similarly limit of quantification (10σ/S) was 7.10 × 10−2 μgmL<sup>-1</sup> for cefaclor and 5.15 × 10−2 μgmL<sup>-1</sup> for ceftriaxone. The chromatographic procedure was applied to commercial formulations and spiked human plasma and the results were compared with literature HPLC method.

A reversed phase HPLC method that allows the separation and simultaneous determination of the preservatives methyl paraben (M.P.) and propyl paraben (P.P.) is described. The separations were effected by using an initial mobile phase of water: acetonitrile (50:50) on Inertsil C18 to elute P.P. and M.P. The detector wavelength was set at 205 nm. Under these conditions, separation of the two components was achieved in less than 10 min. Analytical characteristics of the separation such as precision, specificity, linear range and reproducibility were evaluated. The developed method was applied for the determination of preservative M.P. and P.P. at concentration of 0.01 mg/mL and 0.1 mg/mL respectively. The method was successfully used for determining both compounds in sucralfate suspension.

A new, simple, fast, reproducible and sensitive reversed phase HPLC method, using a new stationary phase containing embedded urea polar groups, has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of clobutinol hydrochloride (CLO) and doxylamine succinate (DOX) in syrups. The determination was carried out on a C8 urea column (125 mm x 3.9 mm i.d., 5 µm particle size) synthetized at the Liquid Chomatography Laboratory (LabCrom) of the Chemistry Institute of Unicamp. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile:methanol:phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) in the gradient mode. The diode array detector (DAD) was operated at 230 nm for CLO and 262 nm for DOX. The method showed adequate precision, with relative standard deviations (RSD) less than 1%. The presence of the excipients did not interfere in the results of the analysis. Accuracy was determined by adding standards of the drugs to a placebo and good recovery values were obtained. The analytical curves were linear (r² 0.9999 for CLO and 0.9998 for DOX) over a wide concentration range (2.4-336 µg mL-1 for CLO and 2.3-63 µg mL-1 for DOX). The solutions were stable for at least 72 hours at room temperature. The criteria for validation using the ICH guidelines were fulfilled.

Tea tree oil, an active ingredient of skin, hair and nail care cosmeceuticals, has claims for topical antimicrobial, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity. Its complex composition is governed by ISO 4730:2017. Terpinene-4-ol is the principal constituent of the oil (35% - 48%) followed by γ-terpinene (14% -28%), α-terpinene (6%-12%) and 1,8-cineole (≤15%). A reversed-phase, isocratic high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed and validated for routine determination of tea tree oil based on1,8-cineole content in bulk and commercially available cosmeceuticals using C18 column, methanol-water (70:30 v/v) as mobile phase and flow rate of 1mL/min. UV detection was done at 200 nm. Linearity of the method was established for 20-100μL/mL (R2 = 0.9992) with LOD, LOQ values of 0.5594 μL/mL and 5.5941μL/mL respectively. The % RSD values for robustness and precision were <1% and recovery ranged between 99.09-102.96%. The method was successfully applied for determination of 1,8-cineole content in cosmeceuticals.

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 &lt;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 A reversed-phase high-performance liquid-chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of retinol, alpha-tocopherol, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein/zeaxanthin, and lycopene is described. This method was applied to plasma measurements in healthy young and elderly subjects. The plasma, deproteinized with ethanol, is extracted twice with n-hexane. After evaporation, the residue is dissolved in 50 microL of tetrahydrofuran and made up to 200 microL with ethanol. Samples (50 microL) are injected onto a 250 x 4.6 mm column of 5-microns-particle Spherisorb ODS1 (Phase Separations) that had been equilibrated with solvent mixture A:B (90:10 by vol) [A = 100 mmol/L ammonium acetate in methanol: acetonitrile (80:20 by vol) and B = 100 mmol/L ammonium acetate in water] at 2 mL/min. The analytes are eluted by running a 12-min linear gradient to 100% A; solvent A is then maintained for 10 min. Intrabatch CVs were 2.3%, 3.3%, 2.8%, 3.6%, 3.6%, and 3.0% for retinol, alpha-tocopherol, lutein/zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, lycopene, and beta-carotene, respectively. The corresponding interbatch CVs were 4.9%, 5.8%, 12.3%, 6.5%, 8.0%, and 3.4%.
