A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) procedure, which operates with gradient elution and detection by a photodiode-array detector, has been developed to analyze both carotenoids and chlorophylls from the fruits of Cucurbita pepo L.convar.giromontina. HPLC analysis was performed on a system consisting of a 322 Kontron Instruments pumping system, a Rheodyne 7125 injection valve with 20 l loop, a Waters 990 photodiode array detector and a computer running Waters 990 software for data analysis. HPLC separations were achieved on a Nucleosil 120 - 5 C18 column, using the following mobile phases: A - acetonitrile : water (9 : 1) and B - ethyl acetate. The flow rate was 1 ml/ min. and the solvent gradient was as follows: initial conditions - 90% A, 10%B/ from 0 to 15 min. - 30%A, 70% B/ from 16 to 22 min. - 90%A, 10%B. Separations were monitored at 450 nm; peak identities were established by comparing their HPLC retention times and their on-line recorded VIS spectra with those of known reference compounds. Eleven carotenoids were identified: the major ones are -carotene and lutein, these being followed by smaller amounts of neoxanthin, violaxanthin, lactucaxanthin, -cryptoxanthin, -cryptoxanthin, -carotene 5,6-epoxide, -carotene, 9Z--carotene and 15Z--carotene. Besides carotenoids, the proposed procedure separates also chlorophylls a, a’, b, b’, pheophytins a, a’, b and piropheophytins a and b which were identified in unsaponified extracts based on their VIS spectra.

Abstract We use ultraviolet data, acquired with a photodiode-array detector coupled to a reversed-phase liquid-chromatographic system, to identify unknown drugs in plasma samples of acutely poisoned patients. Both retention time and spectra of the peaks obtained with a microbore Hypersil ODS column under gradient elution are compared with a library of approximately 350 compounds. We present our three-year experience with this system, which identifies drugs in less than 1 h, with a high degree of confidence.

: The alkyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid at the C-4 position, “the parabens,” including methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl, are widely used as antimicrobial preservatives in foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Official regulations on the use of these compounds make their analysis essential for the estimation of their exposure. On this basis, the presented study was realized to develop a simple, selective and cheap high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of methyl paraben (MP), ethyl paraben (EP), n-propyl paraben (NPP), isopropyl paraben (IPP), n-butyl paraben (NBP), isobutyl paraben (IBP) and benzyl paraben (BP) in pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products. The chromatographic separation of the analytes was achieved under flow rate gradient elution conditions using a C18-bonded core-shell silica particle column (2.6 μm particle size, 150 × 3.0 mm from Phenomenex Co.). The samples were injected into the system as aliquots of 1.0 μL, and the compounds were detected by using a photodiode array detector set at 254 nm wavelength. With this technique, seven paraben derivatives can be determined in the concentration range of 250-2000 ng/mL. The recovery of the method is in the range of 99.95-13.84%, and the RSD is at a maximum value of 3.95%. The proposed method was fully validated and successfully applied to different pharmaceutical and cosmetic samples (n=16), including syrups, suspensions, oral sprays, gels, etc. At least one paraben derivative was detected in six of the samples, and was determined quantitatively. The maximum amount of a paraben derivative found in the analyzed samples is 321.7 ng/mL, which was MP. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first LC method, which is applicable both on pharmaceutical and cosmetic samples.

In this study, a rapid and simple method based on reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) using a photodiode array detector (PDA) for the simultaneous analysis of five pollutants including aniline and its degradation products, para-aminophenol, meta-aminophenol, ortho-aminophenol and phenol, was developed.

Objective: A study was aimed to estimate guggulsterone-Z (GZ) in Gokshuradi Guggulu (GG).Methods: An analytical method was developed and validated using Waters Alliance high-performance liquid chromatography system (Empower software), equipped with photodiode array detector. Separation was achieved using Phenomenex, C-18 (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μ) column. Mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile:water (70:30,v/v). Flow rate was set to 1 ml/min and detection was performed at 251 nm.Results and Discussion: Validation parameters such as linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection, limit of quantification, and robustness were performed. Amount of GZ was estimated using linearity equation.Conclusion: GG was found to contain 0.815±0.03 g% w/w GZ. Validated method may be used as one of the parameters to standardize the formulation.

Objective: The objective of the study was to develope a stability indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for simultaneous assay of pentazocine and naloxone in bulk and tablets. Methods: Pentazocine and naloxone were analyzed on Dionex C18 column using 0.1M K2HPO4 buffer (pH 4.0) and methanol (60:40, v/v) as the mobile phase. The concentration of pentazocine and naloxone was quantified by photodiode array detector set at 248 nm. The method was validated in compliance with ICH rules. Pentazocine and naloxone tablet formulation was subjected to forced degradation such as acid, neutral and alkali hydrolysis, oxidation, photo, and thermal degradation. Results: The method was linear, with R2=0.9999 in the concentration range 100–300 μg/ml for pentazocine and R2=0.9995 in the concentration range 1–3 μg/ml for naloxone. The level of detection and quantification was 0.097 μg/ml and 0.322 μg/ml for pentazocine and 0.0073 μg/ml and 0.0243 μg/ml for naloxone, respectively. The degraded products are resolved well from pentazocine and naloxone with significantly different retention time values. From validation results, it was proved that the method is selective, precise, robust, and accurate for the estimation of pentazocine and naloxone simultaneously. Conclusion: The developed stability-indicating HPLC method can be applied for quantitative determination of pentazocine and naloxone in tablets.

Abstract A selective reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography/photodiode array detector (RP-HPLC/PAD) method has been developed for simultaneous determination of the three co-administrated deflazacort, aprepitant and granisetron drugs used with chemotherapy. The three cited drugs have been chromatographed on C18 column using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile–0.2% v/v triethylamine (80:20 v/v, pH of 6.6 ± 0.05) with isocratic elution and monitored by photodiode array at 220 nm. International conference on harmonization (ICH) guidelines were followed to validate the developed method. Successful application of the developed method was assessed by the simultaneous determination of the studied drugs in pure forms, dosage forms and plasma samples in the ranges of 0.2–20, 0.4–40 and 0.2–20 μg/mL for deflazacort, aprepitant and granisetron, respectively.
