The preparation is described of thick-walled glass columns, inner diameter 0.5 mm and outer diameter 4.5 mm, packed with Separon SI C 18 (dp = 6 and 10 μm) from suspension under pressures of 20-35 MPa in the presence of an ionogenic detergent; the column length ranged from 5 to 30 cm. The minimum value of the height equivalent to a theoretical plate was Hmin = 2.8 - 3.3dp. The effect of the extra-column contributions to the dispersion on the slope of the linear part of the dependence of the height equivalent to a theoretical plate on the mobile phase velocity was examined and found to become significant at higher velocities, thereby imposing limitations on the shortening of the time of analysis.

A conductivity detector with a cell volume of 0.1 μl has been devised to fit glass micropacked columns with an inner diameter of 0.5 mm. D.c. current was used in the measurements, the voltage applied to the electrodes was 30 V. Organic acids separated in a reverse-phase system were detected; the minimum detectable concentrations were 6 . 10-7 - 1 . 10-5 mol l-1 according to the acid concerned and the composition of the mobile phase. The linear range of the detector is 400.

Introduction: Impurity analysis is an important step in the quality control of pharmaceutical ingredients and final product. Impurities can arise from drug synthesis or excipients and even at small concentrations may affect product efficacy and safety. In this work two methods using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were developed and validated for the evaluation of besifloxacin and its impurity synthesis, with isocratic elution and another with gradient elution. Method: The analysis by HPLC in isocratic elution mode was performed using a cyano column maintained at 25 °C. The mobile phase was composed by 0.5% triethylamine (pH 3.0): acetonitrile (88:12 v/v) eluted at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min with detection at 330 nm. The gradient elution method was carried out with the same column and mobile phase components only modifying the rate between organic and aqueous phase during analysis. The procedures have been validated according to internationally accepted guidelines, observing results within acceptable limits. Results: The methods presented were found to be linear in the 140 to 260 µg/ml range for besifloxacin and 0.3 to 2.3 µg/ml for an impurity named A. The limits of detection and quantification were respectively 0.07 and 0.3 µg/ml for impurity A, with a 20 µL injection volume. The precision achieved for all analyses performed provided RSD inter-day equal to 6.47 and 6.36% for impurity A with isocratic elution and gradient, respectively. The accuracy was higher than 99% and robustness exhibited satisfactory results. In the isocratic method an analysis time of 25 min and 15 min was obtained for gradient. For impurity A, the number of theoretical plates in the isocratic mode was about 5000 while in the gradient mode it was about 45000, hence, it made the column more efficient by changing the mobile phase composition during elution. In besifloxacin raw material and in pharmaceutical product used in this study, other related impurities were present but but impurity A was searched for and not detected Conclusion: The proposed methods can be applied for quantitative determination of impurities in the analysis of the besifloxacin raw material, as well as in ophthalmic suspension of the drug, considering the quantitation limit.

The reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of some selected, industrially important aromatic sulfones has been investigated. The chromatographic behaviour of three groups of aromatic sulfones has been studied. The optimum conditions of separation and UV spectra of the sulfones and some of their hydroxy and benzyloxy derivatives are presented. The dependences of capacity factors vs methanol content in mobile phase are mentioned. The results obtained have been applied to the quantitative analysis of different technical-grade samples and isomer mixtures. For all the separation methods mentioned the concentration ranges of linear calibration curves have been determined.

AbstractA stability-indicating hybrid micelle liquid chromatography accompanied by UV detection was developed for the simultaneous analysis of either paracetamol (PCA) or pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (PSU) with their synthetic impurities. Mixture I contains PCA with p-amino phenol and p-nitro phenol, while mixture II involves the estimation of PSU with benzaldehyde and benzoic acid. Both mixtures were separated using a C18 column that was thermostatically maintained at 40°C and operating under a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min, applying UV detection at 240 nm for mixture I and 220 nm for mixture II. In both cases, the mobile phase consisted of 0.1 M sodium dodecyl sulfate, acetonitrile, and triethylamine (90:10:0.3, v/v/v) and adjusted to pH 4 (mixture I) or pH 3.7 (mixture II) using 2.0 M O-phosphoric acid. The proposed method was validated and successfully applied to assay different pharmaceuticals containing PCA or PSU. Moreover, the stability-indicating nature of the proposed method was proved through applying photolytic degradation procedures for PCA.

Abstract We used paired-ion high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the 4-nitrophenol content of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate, a substrate for alkaline phosphatase analysis. This was done on a reversed-phase column with a mobile phase of methanol/water, 45/55 by vol, containing 3 ml of tetrabutylammonium phosphate reagent per 200 ml of solvent. At a flow rate of 1 ml/min, 4-nitrophenol was eluted at 9 min and monitored at 404 nm; 4-nitrophenyl phosphate was eluted at 5 min and could be monitored at 311 nm. Samples of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate obtained from several sources contained 0.3 to 7.8 mole of 4-nitrophenol per mole of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quantitative morphological changes in lamellar macular holes (LMHs) based on SD-OCT examinations and to assess the correlations among minimal retinal thickness (MRT), reading vision (RV), and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) over a 36-month follow-up period. Methods: A group of 40 patients (44 eyes) with LMH was evaluated, with an average age of 69.87 (SD = 10.14). The quantitative parameters monitored in the follow-up period (at 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months) were tested for normality of distribution by Shapiro–Wilk and Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests. Results: The RV and BCVA values were stable, and no significant changes were found at any of the check-ups during the 36-month follow-up period (BCVA p = 0.435 and RV p = 0.0999). The analysis of individual quantitative LMH parameters during the 36-month follow-up period did not demonstrate statistically significant differences: MRT (p = 0.461), Max RT temporal (p = 0.051), Max RT nasal (p = 0.364), inner diameter (ID) (p = 0.089), and outer diameter (OD) (p = 0.985). Conclusions: The observations at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months revealed moderate and significant correlations between RV and MRT. No significant correlation between BCVA and MRT was observed.
