Abstract A simple and sensitive HPLC method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of eight permitted food colors and five commonly encountered nonpermitted colors in various food commodities, including sugar-, fat-, and starch-based food matrixes. The method uses a specific food category-based cleanup/treatment procedure before color extraction to avoid the interference of food matrixes, and to obtain the optimal color extraction. Analysis was performed on a reversed-phase C18 -Bondapak column with ammonium acetate and acetonitrile gradient elution as the mobile phase; a programmable max-specific visible detection was used to monitor colors to obtain the higher sensitivity and expanded scope needed for multicolor blends having diverse absorption maxima. All colors showed good linearity, with regression coefficients of 0.99740.9999. The LOD and LOQ values ranged from 0.01 to 0.12 mg/L, and from 0.04 to 0.83 mg/L or mg/kg, respectively. The intraday and interday precision tests produced good RSD values, and the recoveries from different food matrixes ranged from 82 to 104%. The method offers high sensitivity for analysis of a wide variety of food matrixes containing a broad scope of multicolor blends. Two nonpermitted colors, orange II and metanil yellow, were found. Also, a number of samples contained permitted colors at levels two-to seven-fold higher than those prescribed.

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.

Abstract We describe a reversed-phase HPLC method for determination of total mycophenolic acid (MPA), its free concentration (MPAf), and the glucuronide metabolite (MPAG), based on simple sample preparation and gradient elution chromatography. The compounds were quantified in parallel by absorbance at 254 nm and 215 nm in the internal standard mode. Linearity was verified up to 50 mg/L for MPA and up to 500 mg/L for MPAG (r >0.999). Detection limits at 215 and 254 nm were, respectively, 0.01 and 0.03 mg/L for MPA, and 0.03 and 0.1 mg/L for MPAG. The recovery of MPA was 95–106%;recovery of MPAG was 96–106%. The imprecision (CV) for MPA (0.2–25 mg/L) was <8.4% (254 nm) and <4.4% (215 nm) within day (n = 12) and <9.2% (254 nm) and <6.2% (215 nm) between days (n = 12). The imprecision for MPAG (10–250 mg/L) was <4.9% (254 nm) and <3.4% (215 nm) within day, and <6.1% (254 nm) and <5.9% (215 nm) between days. For quantification of MPAf, 100 μL of ultrafiltrate was applied directly to the column. The detection limit was 0.005 mg/L at 215 nm and 0.015 mg/L at 254 nm. In the range between 18–210 μg/L, the within-day CVs were <11.8% (n = 12) and the between-day CVs were <15.8% (n = 12).

A rapid reversed phase highperformance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of L-ascorbic acid and L-ascorbylpalmitate (AP). The chromatography was performed on a SSI model 2300-525 high performance liquid chromatographequipped with anAlltechApollo C18 column at 30 oC.The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water (90:10,v/v) with the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. UV detection wavelength was 250 nm. This method permits the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid and AP in the synthesis of AP transesterified with methyl palmitate and ascorbic acid. The detection limit of ascorbic acid and AP was 0.07μg/mL and 0.12μg/mL, respectively. The recovery was 90.59 ± 3.04% for ascorbic acid and 101.3 ± 4.81% for AP. The linearity range for ascorbic acid and AP was in the range of 0.1 - 0.7 mg/mL and 0.4 - 4.0 mg/mL, respectively. Correlation coefficients (R2) were 0.9910 for ascorbic acid and 0.9986 for AP. The proposed method could be used for routine quality control of AP synthesis with methyl palmitate and ascorbic acidby enzymatic transesterification.

Abstract Two fast, accurate and selective stability-indicating methods were developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of bisoprolol, perindopril and three of their possible degradation products. The first proposed method was a gradient reversed phase-high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, whereas the second was a capillary electrophoresis method. The structures of the obtained degradation products were elucidated using infrared and mass spectrometry. They were also confirmed to be either a drug impurity in the British Pharmacopoeia or a precursor to such impurity. The linearity for bisoprolol and perindopril was achieved in the range of 1–20 μg mL−1 and 5–30 μg mL−1 for HPLC and capillary electrophoresis methods, respectively. The proposed methods were validated according to the International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines. The HPLC method proved to be more sensitive and succeeded in the quantitative determination of the obtained degradation products. Also, it was able to quantify perindopril impurity up to three times lower than the desired limit set by the British Pharmacopoeia. They were successfully employed in the determination of bisoprolol and perindopril in their combined pharmaceutical formulation.

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 with spectrophotometric detection was developed for the simultaneous determination of labetalol (LBT) and hydrochloro-thiazide (HCD). The chromatographic separation was performed using a Microbondapak C18 column (4.6 i.d. x 250 nm) and paracetamol as internal standard. A mobile phase consisting of 0.05 M phosphate buffer/acetonitrile of pH 4 (7:3) at a flow rate of 0.7 ml/min was used. The detection was affected spectrophotornetrically at 302 nm. The working concentration range was 0.3–10 µg/ml with detection limits of 0.05 µg/ml for both drugs. The lower quantitation limit was 0.25 µg/ml in the two cases. The method was successfully applied to tablets, the % recoveries were 99.45 ± 0.68 for LBT and 99.79 ± 0.75 for HCD. The method was extended to the in-vitro determination in spiked human plasma. The % recoveries were 91.12 ± 0.33 for LBT and 91.37 ± 0.40 for HCD. The interday and intraday precision and accuracy were evaluated in plasma by calculating the % RSD (n=5) and the % error and were found to be in the ranges of 1.18–4.1% and 0.38–0.36% for both drugs, respectively.

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.
