Abstract A method is described for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol, tizanidine, and diclofenac in mixtures. The method was based on HPLC separation of the three drugs followed by UV detection at 254 nm. The separation was carried out on a Hypersil ODS, C18 (250 × 4.6 mm id, 10 μm particle size) column using the mobile phase aqueous 0.2% ammonium carbonate–methanol (60 + 40, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The linear regression analysis data were used for the regression curve in the range of 170–10,000 ng/mL for paracetamol, 120–10,000 ng/mL for tizanidine, and 20–10,000 ng/mL for diclofenac. No chromatographic interference from tablet excipients was found. In order to check the selectivity of the proposed method, degradation studies were carried out using hydrolysis (acid, basic, and neutral), thermolysis, and oxidation. The developed method, after being validated in terms of precision, robustness, recovery, LOD, and LOQ, was successively applied to the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations and human serum.

Abstract A new HPLC method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of ticarcillin (TIC) and clavulanic acid (CA) in pharmaceutical formulations. The HPLC separation was achieved on a -cyclodextrin column (Cyclobond I, 250 4.6 mm, 5 mm) with methanol16 mM pH 6.0 ammonium acetate buffer (50 + 50, v/v) mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. Detection was at 220 nm. Validation of the method was performed by evaluating specificity, robustness, accuracy, and precision. The calibration curves were linear in the range of 1100 g/mL for CA and 2200 g/mL for TIC. The LOQs based on the standard regression lines were 0.42 and 1.42 g/mL for CA and TIC, respectively, and the LOD were 0.14 and 0.47 g/mL, respectively. Total recoveries of synthetic mixtures (CA:TIC = 1:10, 1:15, and 1:30) were 99.25100.99 for CA and 99.54100.82 for TIC. Compared with the U.S. Pharmacopeia method, the proposed method has the advantage of a relatively low flow rate and short analysis time. The proposed method was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of these two drugs in sterilized H2O and 5 dextrose injection solutions.

Abstract A previously published HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of six major components (hydroquinone, kojic acid, octinoxate, avobenzone, butylated hydroxyanisole, and butylated hydroxytoluene) in a skin-whitening cream was transferred and optimized to an ultra-performance LC system. Separation was achieved in a ZORBAX SB-Phenyl Rapid-Resolution High Throughput column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.8 μm), using a mobile phase consisting of water with 0.1% acetic acid and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. The column was maintained at 40°C, and detection was carried out at 230 nm using a diode-array detector. These chromatographic conditions allow the separation of the six compounds in 3 min instead of 14 min. The extraction procedure was optimized, reducing the time and demonstrating its suitability. The method was validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines, with respect to specificity, precision, accuracy, and linearity. Selectivity was found to be satisfactory. Linear regression analysis data for all compounds showed a good linear relationship, with r2 > 0.999 in the concentration range of 50–120% of the label claim for each compound. The RSD for precision and accuracy of the method was found to be less than 2% forall compounds. Comparison of system performance with the previously published HPLC method was made with respect to analysis time, efficacy, and resolution. The proposed method is faster and consumes less solvent and was applied in the determination of six major compounds in batches of skin-whitening cream manufactured during thevalidation process.

Abstract A simple, accurate and precise RP-HPLC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of chloroquine, pyrimethamine and cetirizine hydrochloride concentrations in bulk drug and human serum. The assay was performed using a mobile phase of methanol: water (70:30) at pH of 2.8 ± 0.05 on the Purospher C-18 column with UV detection at 230 nm and rosuvastatin used as an internal standard. The retention times observed for chloroquine, pyrimethamine and cetirizine hydrochloride were 3.5, 2.5 and 5.5 minutes, respectively. The method was found to be specific for the assayed drugs showing a linear response in the concentration range of 1–100 μg mL−1 with coefficients of determination values of (r = 0.999). The method was developed and validated according to ICH guidelines. The method was used to monitor the serum samples and was found to be sensitive for therapeutic purposes, showing the potential to be a useful tool for routine analysis in laboratories.
