Leaf extracts of Hedera helix L. are widely used in the treatment of upper respiratory diseases. The saponins α-hederin and hederacoside C are considered to be the main compounds responsible for the biological activity. α-Hederin and hederacoside C were determined in H. helix leaf extracts using a fast, simple and validated HPLC method. An XTerra MS C18 column and mobile phase composed of 10 mM ammonium acetate at pH 8.5 (adjusted with triethylamine) and acetonitrile were used for the chromatography at 1.2 mL min−1. The column was kept at 30°C. Detection was performed at 220 nm. An approach utilizing a basic pH of the aqueous part of the mobile phase enabled analysis in 5 minutes in isocratic mode. The method was validated and used for the quality control of H. helix leaf ethanolic extracts.

Abstract An HPLC method was developed for the determination of albendazole (ABZ) and its metabolites, a sulfoxide (ABZSO), a sulfone (ABZSO2), and albendazole-2-aminosulfone (ABZ-2-NH2SO2), from yellow perch muscle tissue with adhering skin. The muscle tissue samples were made alkaline with potassium carbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate, followed by a series of liquidliquid extraction steps. After solvent evaporation, the residue was reconstituted in the initial mobile phase combination of the gradient. The mobile phase consisted of a buffer, 50 mM ammonium acetate (pH 4.0) in 10 methanolwater, and 100 acetonitrile. The gradient was from 20 acetonitrile to 85 acetonitrile. The analytes were chromatographed on an RP Luna C18(2) column and detected by fluorescence with excitation and emission wavelengths of 290 and 330 nm, respectively. The average recoveries from fortified muscle tissue for ABZ (20100 ppb), ABZ-SO (20200 ppb), ABZSO2 (8100 ppb), and ABZ-2-NH2SO2 (20100 ppb) were 85, 95, 101, and 86, respectively, with corresponding CV values of 9, 3, 6, and 4, respectively. Their LOQ values were 10, 10, 1, and 10 ppb, respectively. The procedure was applied to determine ABZ and its major metabolites in the incurred muscle tissue of yellow perch obtained after orally dosing the fish with ABZ.

Abstract A single-laboratory validation study was performed for an HPLC method to identify and quantify the flavanol enantiomers (+)- and (–)-epicatechin and (+)- and (–)-catechin in cocoa-based ingredients and products. These compounds were eluted isocratically with an ammonium acetate–methanol mobile phase applied to a modified β-cyclodextrin chiral stationary phase and detected using fluorescence. Spike recovery experiments using appropriate matrix blanks, along with cocoa extract, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate, were used to evaluate accuracy, repeatability, specificity, LOD, LOQ, and linearity of the method as performed by a single analyst on multiple days. In all samples analyzed, (–)-epicatechin was the predominant flavanol and represented 68–91% of the total monomeric flavanols detected. For the cocoa-based products, within-day (intraday) precision for (–)-epicatechin was between 1.46–3.22%, for (+)-catechin between 3.66–6.90%, and for (–)-catechin between 1.69–6.89%; (+)-epicatechin was not detected in these samples. Recoveries for the three sample types investigated ranged from 82.2 to 102.1% at the 50% spiking level, 83.7 to 102.0% at the 100% spiking level, and 80.4 to 101.1% at the 200% spiking level. Based on performance results, this method may be suitable for routine laboratory use in analysis of cocoa-based ingredients and products.

Abstract An HPLC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of residues of acetaminophen (paracetamol, PA), caffeine (CA), and drotaverine HCl (DH) on swabs collected from pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment surfaces. The challenge in cleaning validation is to develop analytical methods that are sensitive enough to detect traces of the active compounds remaining on the surface of pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment after cleaning. Chromatography was performed in the isocratic mode on a Hypersil C18 BDS column using the mobile phase 0.02 M tetrabutylammonium bisulfate–methanol (100 + 45, v/v) at 50°C with UV detection at 210 nm. The method was tested for specificity, linearity, LOD, LOQ, accuracy, and precision for determination of traces of the above-mentioned drugs. The time required for a single analysis was 12 min. The response was linear in the ranges of 6.900–52.100, 1.040–7.800, and 0.694–5.210 μg/mL for PA, CA, and DH, respectively.

A simple, sensitive, precise and specific normal phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the determination of dimethicone from tablet dosage forms. It was found that the excipients used in the tablet dosage form did not interfere in the quantification of dimethicone. The HPLC separation was carried out by normal phase chromatography on Princeton Sphere Cyano, 250 x 4.6mm, 5µ with a mobile phase composed of hexane : ethanol : ethyl acetate (80:20:0.2) in isocratic mode at a flow rate of 0.5mL/min. Dimethicone was quantified using a refractive index detector. The calibration curve for dimethicone was linear from 1.75 to 3.25 mg/mL. The inter-day and intra-day precisions were found to be within limits. The proposed method has adequate sensitivity, reproducibility and specificity for the determination of dimethicone from tablet dosage forms.

Abstract Metronidazole is a drug used to treat bacterial and protozoan infections. Nowadays, it is one of the most frequently prescribed drugs worldwide. The main aim of this paper is to present a rapid, reliable and simple high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to determine metronidazole along with its primary metabolite, 2-hydroxymetronidazole, in plasma or serum using paracetamol as an internal standard. A total of 100% methanol was used to denature plasma proteins. After centrifugation, the supernatant was evaporated under nitrogen flow. The samples were dissolved in the mobile phase and injected into a Li-Chrospher RP-18 column. A total of 10 mmol/L NaH2PO4: acetonitrile (90:10, v/v) solution with a flow rate of 1 mL/min was used as the mobile phase. Metronidazole and 2-hydroxymetronidazole were detected at two different wavelengths at 320 nm and 311 nm, respectively. The method is characterized by high precision (relative standard deviation % < 6). The method was used for the determination of metronidazole and 2-hydroxymetronidazole in murine blood using small amounts of plasma (≤100 μL).

The aim of this work was to develop a new RP-HPLC method for the determination of loperamide hydrochloride in the presence of its acid degradation products. Separation of loperamide from degradation products was performed using ZORBAX Eclipse XDB C-18, column with a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% sodium-octansulphonate, 0.05% triethylamine, 0.1% ammonium hydroxide in water:acetonitrile (45:55 v/v). The mobile phase was adjusted to pH 3.2 with phosphoric acid. The method showed high sensitivity with good linearity over the concentration range of 10 to 100 ?g cm-3. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of a pharmaceutical formulation (Loperamide, Zdravlje-Actavis, Serbia) containing loperamide hydrochloride with excellent recovery. The loperamide hydrochloride degradation during acid hydrolysis and kinetics investigation was carried out in hydrochloric acid solutions of 0.1, 1.0 and 1.5 mol dm-3, at different temperatures (25 and 40?C), by monitoring the parent compound itself. The first order reaction of loperamide degradation in acid solution was determined. The activation energy was estimated from the Arrhenius plot and it was found to be 38.81 kJ mol-1 at 40?C. The developed procedure was successfully applied for the rapid determination of loperamide hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulation (Loperamide, Zdravlje-Actavis, Serbia) and in the presence of its acid degradation products.

Abstract A new, fast, accurate, precise, and sensitive RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of acemetacin and chlorzoxazone has been developed. Response surface methodology with a central composite design was used to optimize the acetonitrile and ammonium acetate percentage in the mobile phase and pH of ammonium acetate. The optimum separation was achieved on a C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm id, 5 μm particle size) using the mobile phase methanol–acetonitrile–0.02 M ammonium acetate, pH 9.4 (25 + 35 + 40, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min; UV detection at 270 nm, and cyanocobalamin as an internal standard. This developed method was validated and successfully applied to a coated tablet pharmaceutical preparation.
