<p class="Body">Thebaine is naturally occurring alkaloid  which is of great importance in the pharmaceutical industry and  up to now there is not a Pharmacopoeial monograph for this compound.  There is a definite need for development of  simple procedures for routine quality assessment  based on physical and spectroscopic properties (melting point, UV-Vis, IR, specific optical rotation) and even more importantly a need for development of chromatographic methods for determination of  purity.The main objective of this work was to develop RP-HPLC-UVD method for quantification of thebaine and also to develop complementary GC-MS method for qualitative analysis. The developed HPLC method utilized RP-C18 monolithic column, gradient elution with trifluoroacetic acid and formic acid in water and in acetonitrile and detection at 285nm. The effects of the relevant chromatographic conditions was investigated and the optimized and validated method was usеd for analysis of  three batches of thebaine.  </p><p class="Body">A procedure that contained different methods for determination and identification of thebaine, was performed with main focus on the HPLC method suitable for quantitative and qualitative determination.  In parallel, to complete the purity profile,  the three batches of thebaine were analyzed by IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and specific optical rotation and melting point determination.  The analysis of thebaine can be performed in few steps by simple and reproducible methods like IR spectroscopy, specific optical rotation, melting point and the developed HPLC method, later proved by its validation. The developed HPLC-UV method is suitable for transfer to HPLC-MS method. The GC-MS method is quite suited for identification of thebaine  and of the impurities, but is limited to free bases. Additionally, pseduomorphine  and <em>N</em>-oxide derivatives of the related alkaloids are not suitable for GC-MS analysis.</p>

Toluic acid isomers are widely used as a chemical intermediate in manufacturing of dyes, pharmaceuticals, polymer stabilizers, insect repellent and other organic synthesis. The aim of present study was to evaluate the impact of biofield treatment on physical, thermal and spectroscopic properties of ortho isomer of toluic acid (OTA). The OTA sample was divided into two groups, served as control and treated. The treated group received Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. Subsequently, the control and treated samples were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis/ derivative thermogravimetry (TGA/DTG), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. XRD result showed 26.66% decrease in crystallite size in treated OTA sample as compared to control. Furthermore, DSC analysis result showed that latent heat of fusion was considerably reduced by 6.68% in treated OTA sample as compared to control. However, an increase in melting point was observed in treated sample. The melting point of treated OTA sample was found to be 107.96°C as compared to control (105.47°C) sample. Moreover, TGA/ DTG studies showed that Tmax (temperature, at which sample lost its maximum weight) was decreased by 1.21% in treated OTA sample as compared to control. It indicates that vaporisation of treated OTA sample might increase as compared to control. The FT-IR and UV-Vis spectra did not show any significant changes in spectral properties of treated OTA sample as compared to control. These findings suggest that biofield treatment has significantly altered the physical and thermal properties of OTA, which could make it more useful as chemical intermediate.

Background and Objective: Kang Fu Xin liquid (KFX) is an official preparation made from the ethanol extract product from P. Americana. The present quality control method cannot control the quality of the preparation well. The aim of the present study is to establish a convenient HPLC method for multicomponents determination combined with fingerprint analysis for quality control of KFX. Methods: An HPLC-DAD method with gradient elution and detective wavelength switching program was developed to establish HPLC fingerprints of KFX, and 38 batches of KFX were compared and evaluated by similarity analysis (SA), hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA), and principal component analysis (PCA). Meanwhile, six nucleosides and three amino acids, including uracil, hypoxanthine, uric acid, adenosine, xanthine, inosine, tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan in KFX were determined based on the HPLC fingerprints. Results: An HPLC method assisted with gradient elution and wavelength switching program was established and validated for multicomponents determination combined with fingerprint analysis of KFX. The results demonstrated that the similarity values of the KFX samples were more than 0.845. PCA indicated that peaks 4 (hypoxanthine), 7 (xanthine), 9 (tyrosine), 11, 13 and 17 might be the characteristic contributed components. The nine constituents in KFX, uracil, hypoxanthine, uric acid, adenosine, xanthine, inosine, tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan, showed good regression (R2 > 0.9997) within test ranges and the recoveries of the method for all analytes were in the range from 96.74 to 104.24%. The limits of detections and quantifications for nine constituents in DAD were less than 0.22 and 0.43 μg•mL-1, respectively. Conclusion: The qualitative analysis of chemical fingerprints and the quantitative analysis of multiple indicators provide a powerful and rational way to control the KFX quality for pharmaceutical companies.

Isoquinoline alkaloids are the main group of secondary metabolites present in Chelidonium majus extracts, and they are still the object of interest of many researchers. Therefore, the development of methods for the investigation and separation of the alkaloids is still an important task. In this work, the application potential of a silica-based monolithic column for the separation of alkaloids was assessed. The influence of the organic modifier, temperature, salt concentration, and pH of the eluent on basic chromatographic parameters such as retention, resolution between neighboring peaks, chromatographic plate numbers, and peak asymmetry were investigated. Based on the obtained results, a gradient elution program was developed and used to separate and quantitatively determine the main alkaloids in a Chelidonium majus root extract.

Abstract Fosamprenavir calcium is a protease inhibitor widely used in the treatment and prevention of human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This protease inhibitor serves as a prodrug of amprenavir, offering better oral bioavailability. Although this drug was approved by the FDA in 2003, there are few methods established for quantifying the stability for quality control analysis of fosamprenavir-coated tablets. The purpose of the study was to develop and validate a method for determining the stability of fosamprenavir-coated tablets (Telzir®) that may be applied by any quality control laboratory. Chromatographic separation was performed using a Vertical RP-18 column programmed to run a gradient elution with sodium acetate buffer and acetonitrile. Flow rate was 1.2 mL min−1 for a total run time of 15 min. Ultraviolet detection was set at 264 nm and the use of a photodiode array detector in scan mode allowed selectivity confirmation by peak purity evaluation. The analyte peak was found to be adequately separated from degradation products generated during forced degradation studies. Thus, the proposed method was found to accurately indicate stability and was sufficient for routine quantitative analysis of fosamprenavir in coated tablets without interference from major degradation products and excipients.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of four components, namely rifampicin (RIF), isoniazid (INH), pyrazinamide (PYR), and ethambutol hydrochloride (ETM), contained in anti-tuberculosis drugs in fixed dose combination tablet (4-FDC). In order to increase the sensitivity of EMB, the pre-column derivatization technique with phenethyl isocyanate (PEIC) was carried out. The separation was accomplished using Waters Symmetry C8 (250× 4.6 mm i.d.; 5 μm) at 30oC. The mobile phase used was a mixture of acetonitrile and 20 mM phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8) containing triethylamine and delivered at 1.5 mL/minute using gradient elution. TheUV detector was set at 210 nm. The method was validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, detection limit, quantification limit, and robustness according to International Conference on Harmanization (ICH). The optimized method is succcesfully used for quantitative analysis of RIF, INH, PYR and ETM in 4-FDC tablets. The level of these drugs in 4-FDC tablets were in accordance to that specified in Indonesian pharmacopeia.

The purified lectins from Lotus tetragonolobus and Dolichos biflorus were coupled to Sepharose 2B to make insoluble adsorbents for purification and fractionation of blood group A and H active glycoproteins. With both adsorbents, hog gastric mucin A + H blood substance (HGM), purified by phenol-ethanol precipitation, yielded fractions showing only A, only H, or AH activities. The AH fraction was obtained when the adsorbent column was overloaded with HGM and its A and H specificities seem to be carried on the same molecules since they were not separable by chromatography on either column. However A and H specificities of blood group substance from the stomach of a presumably heterozygous individual hog were both on the same molecules as they too could not be fractionated on either column. Analytical properties of the isolated fractions were generally similar to those of the unfractionated material, the purfied A substances had a higher galactosamine/fucose ratio than did the H substances. Although the original A + H showed very little specific optical rotation, the separated A and H substances rotated positively and negatively, respectively. The lectin-Sepharose adsorbents have also proven useful in isolating A or H substances directly from the crude commercial hog gastric mucin. Blood group A2 substance from a human ovarian cyst yielded two fractions on the Lotus-Sepharose column; the effluent did not interact with the Lotus lectin but precipitated the Ulex and Dolichos lectins and anti-A, and appears to contain type 1 H determinants. The other fraction reacted with Lotus and Ulex lectin as well as with Dolichos and anti-A.

An RP-HPLC method was developed for the quantification of related impurities of lurasidone and its formulation. The chromatographic separation employs gradient elution using an Inertsil ODS C18 (150x4.6) mm, 5μm columns. Mobile phase consisting of solvent A-buffer (pH 3.0): methanol (90:10 %v/v) and solvent B-acetonitrile: water (80:20 % v/v) delivered at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The analytes were detected and quantified at 210 nm using PDA. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines, demonstrating to be a simple, precise, selective, linear and accurate within the corresponding range of impurities of lurasidone. Linearity was observed in the concentration range of 2-6 µg/mL. The RT for Lurasidone was about 18.5 min and three known impurities at RRT about 0.15, 0.21 and 0.36. The specificity of the method was investigated under different stress conditions including hydrolytic, oxidative, photolytic and thermal as recommended by ICH guidelines. Relevant degradation was found to take place under oxidative conditions. Degradation impurities did not interfere with the RT of drug. The peak purity obtained with the aid of PDA detection and satisfactory resolution between related impurities established the specificity of the determination. All these results provide the stability indicating capability of the method.

Three series of azo dyes derived from 2-amino-5-aryl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and aniline, N,N-dimethylaniline and phenol were synthesized in high yields by a conventional diazotization-coupling sequence. The chemical structures of the prepared compounds were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. In addition, the X-ray single crystal structure of a representative azo dye was presented. For explicit determination of the influence of a substituent on radiation absorption in UV-Vis range, time-dependent density functional theory calculations were performed.

Abstract Background Histamine fixed-immunoglobulin formulations, which consisted of 0.15 µg of histamine dihydrochloride and 12 mg of human immunoglobulin in a vial, are used for anti-allergic treatments, and controlling the amounts of histamine in the formulations is essential to avoid histamine intoxication. Objective A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for determination of histamine contents of the formulations was established and validated. Methods Histamine extracted from the formulation was labeled with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate and was analyzed by gradient elution HPLC with UV detection at 260 nm. Results The method showed linearity in the range 0.8–2.4 µM (R &gt; 0.999), accuracy (100.1–105.8% recovery), and precision (relative standard deviation ≤ 1.93%). The validated method was applied for five lots of the pharmaceutical, and their histamine contents were determined to be 0.149–0.155 µg/vial. Conclusions These results indicated that the validated method is useful to control amounts of histamine in biopharmaceutical products. Highlights The HPLC method was developed for quantitative determination of histamine content of the histamine fixed-immunoglobulin formulations.
