Antihistamines are widely used to alleviate the symptoms caused by allergic reactions. Most of these drugs have zwitteriónicas and/or amphoteric characteristics, which confer additional analytical challenges. This work aimed to develop a single eco-friendly and efficient chromatographic methods for analysis of seven antihistamines, namely, azelastine HCl, desloratadine, ebastine, fexofenadine HCl, ketotifen, loratadine, and olopatadine HCl. The separations were obtained using RP C-18 LUNA (150x4.6mm, 5 μm) column. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and acidified water (pH 2.1) in the following proportion: 15:85, v/v for desloratadine, 25:75, v/v for ketotifen and olopatadine, 32:68, v/v for fexofenadine, 35:65, v/v for azelastine and loratadine, and 45:55, v/v for ebastine. All separations were obtained in less than 7.0 min. A prototype method was fully validated and applied in the assay of azelastine HCl in nasal solutions. The proposed methods for analysis of seven antihistamines are highly efficient, selective, and sensitive. Moreover, all methods can be considered excellent in terms of greenness, with total organic residue < 2.5 mL/analysis. An improved gradient method is also described for separation of azelastine HCl and its related impurities.

Abstract The characterization of process-related impurities and degradation products of safinamide mesilate (SAFM) in bulk drug and a stability-indicating HPLC method for the separation and quantification of all the impurities were investigated. Four process-related impurities (Imp-B, Imp-C, Imp-D, and Imp-E) were found in the SAFM bulk drug. Five degradation products (Imp-A, Imp-C, Imp-D, Imp-E, and Imp-F) were observed in SAFM under oxidative conditions. Imp-C, Imp-D, and Imp-E were also degradation products and process-related impurities. Remarkably, one new compound, identified as (S)-2-[4-(3-fluoro-benzyloxy) benzamido] propanamide (i.e., Imp-D), is being reported here as an impurity for the first time. Furthermore, the structures of the aforementioned impurities were characterized and confirmed via IR, NMR, and MS techniques, and the most probable formation mechanisms of all impurities proposed according to the synthesis route. Optimum separation was achieved on an Inertsil ODS-3 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm), using 0.1% formic acid in water (pH adjusted to 5.0) and acetonitrile as the mobile phase in gradient mode. The proposed method was found to be stability-indicating, precise, linear, accurate, sensitive, and robust for the quantitation of SAFM and its process-related substances, including its degradation products.

The aim of this study was the rubustness evaluation of the chromatographic determination of verapamil hydrochloride using Youden’s test.Methods: Youden’s test is a reliable method to evaluate the robustness of analytical methods, by means of an experiment design which involves seven analytical parameters combined in eight tests. In the present study, we assessed the robustness of a chromatographic method to quantify verapamil hydrochloride using Youden’s test. Hence, it was possible to determine the effect of each analytical parameter in the final analysis results. Youden’s test showed to be a simple and feasible procedure to evaluate the robustness of chromatographic methods.Results: Using the criteria of Youden’s test, the chromato­graphic method showed to be highly robust regarding the verapamil hydrochloride content, when variations in seven analytical parameters were introduced. The highest variation in the verapamil hydrochloride content was 0.26 %, when the concen­tration of triethylamine in the mobile phase was altered; a value considerably low and not significant in routine analyses.Conclusion: Youden’s test showed to be a reliable and useful tool for the robustness evaluation of the chromatographic method for verapamil hydrochloride quantitation. By means of this test, it was possible to evaluate the effect of seven analytical parameters in the final result of the analyses. Therefore, Youden’s test can be successfully applied for the ro­bustness evaluation in validation process of analytical methods by HPLC.

Abstract Two simple and sensitive chromatographic methods were developed and validated for quantitative determination of ritodrine hydrochloride in presence of its oxidative degradation product. The first method depends on densitomeric determination of thin-layer chromatograms of the intact drug in presence of its oxidative degradate. Excellent separation was achieved at 220 nm using a mobile phase of dichloromethane–methanol–glacial acetic acid (15 : 5 : 0.25, v/v/v). The second was an HPLC method, in which efficient separation was carried out on C18 column (150 × 4.6 × 5 μm) using a mobile phase consisting of water: acetonitrile (70,30, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL min−1 and UV detection at 220 nm. Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of 0.025–0.3 μg/spot and 5–40 μg mL−1 of the intact drug using the two methods, respectively. The proposed methods were validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and successfully applied for the determination of ritodrine hydrochloride in bulk powder, laboratory prepared mixtures and pharmaceutical dosage form with good accuracy and precision. The results obtained were compared with those of the reported method and were found to be in good agreement.

This study describes the development of a method for simultaneous analysis of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TMP) through the use of high-performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet detector, with the application to veterinary medicines. Satisfactory chromatographic separation of SMX and TMP was isocratically with a C18 column (150 x 4.6 mm, 5 mm). A mobile phase consisting of water, pH 3.5, and methanol (60:40, v/v) was delivered at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min-1 for five minutes and then, increased to 1.8 mL min-1. Detection of the drugs was performed at 213 and 230 nm. Linearity was demonstrated in the range of 5 to 70 mg mL-1 for SMX and 1 to 30 mg mL-1 for TMP (r2 ≥ 0.99 for both compounds). The relative standard deviation was ≤ 5%, and the comparison of the results with the concentrations reported on the drug labels indicated that the quantification was accurate. The resultant stressed samples were analysed by the method. The proposed method shows great potential for simultaneous analysis of the drugs evaluated and represents a new alternative approach to quality control of veterinary medicines.

Abstract Background: Effective chromatographic methods were developed for the determination of a multicomponent capsule prescribed for treating the common cold. Greening approaches were adopted as opposed to conventional methods. Objectives: Two novel, green chromatographic methods were established to quantitatively analyze the combination. Methods: First, an HPLC/UV method utilizing green solvents (water and ethanol) and acetic acid to adjust pH at 5 was accomplished. The stationary phase was a ZorbaxSB-C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm), and peaks were detected at 215 nm. The second method is a highly sensitive ultra-performance LC (UPLC)-MS/MS method in which the greening approach was established through the reduction of the analysis time (2 min), decreased solvent consumption (flow rate 300 μL/min), and the utilization of a small volume of samples (injection volume 2 μL). The mixture was separated using a UPLC-BEH C18 column (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) with an isocratic elution using methanol–0.1% formic acid aqueous solution (60+40, v/v) as mobile phase and utilizing diphenhydramine as an internal standard. Positive-ion electrospray ionization and multiple reaction monitoring were applied for detection. Results: Recovery percentages for paracetamol, pseudoephedrine, and cetirizine were 101.70 ± 0.969, 100.18 ± 1.563, and 99.67 ± 1.429 for the HPLC method and 99.18 ± 1.172, 100.03 ± 0.883, and 99.82 ± 0.912 for the UPLC-MS/MS method, respectively. Conclusions: The proposed methods efficiently analyzed paracetamol, pseudoephedrine, and cetirizine in Allercet Cold® capsules. Validation of the proposed methods was in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization recommendations, and statistical comparison with the reported method displayed no significant difference regarding accuracy and precision. Highlights: Paracetamol, pseudoephedrine, and cetirizine were successfully quantified using two chromatographic methods. The HPLC method developed is considered green, using water and ethanol as a mobile phase. The UPLC-MS/MS method was rapid and determined the three drugs with accuracy at nanogram levels.

This paper presents the chemometrically assisted optimization and validation of the RP-HPLC method intended for the quantitative analysis of itraconazole and its impurities in pharmaceutical dosage forms. To reach the desired chromatographic resolution with a limited number of experiments in a minimum amount of time, Box- -Behnken design was used to simultaneously optimize some important chromatographic parameters, such as the acetonitrile content in the mobile phase, pH of the aqueous phase and the column temperature. Separation between itraconazole and impurity F was identified as critical and selected as a response during the optimization. The set optimal mobile phase composition was acetonitrile/ water pH 2.5 adjusted with o-phosphoric acid (50:50, V/V). Separations were performed on a Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C18, 4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm particle size column with the flow rate 1 mL min-1, column temperature set at 30 °C and UV detection at 256 nm. The established method was then subjected to method validation and the required validation parameters were tested. For the robustness evaluation, fractional factorial 24-1 design was utilized and factors that might significantly affect the system performance were defined. As other validation parameters were also found to be suitable, the possibility to apply the proposed method for the determination of itraconazole, its impurities B and F in any laboratory under different circumstances has been proven.

In this experiment, the main compounds of stilbene glucoside and anthraquinones from polygonum multiflorum extract were separated by HPLC gradient elution. SinoChrom ODS-BP C18 is selected as chromatographic column. The optimal experimental conditions under 254nm wavelength UV detector include the column temperature: 26°C, mobile phase: methanol/water, and flow rate: 1.0ml/mol. The gradient method can be optimized by changing the steepness and shape of gradient elution. Through optimizing gradient method, the separation efficiency is improved within a certain range of gradient elution strength. This article provides important reference for quality control and content determination of fleece-flower root.
