Abstract Background: Traditional Chinese medicine injections (TCMIs) are widely applied to treat many chronic diseases. However, product quality problems occur occasionally due to unknown constituents in TCMIs. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), NƐ-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and NƐ-(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL) are three compounds generated during food and Chinese medicinal herb processing and may be harmful to human health. Methods: In this study, the contents of 5-HMF, CML and CEL were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). For 5-HMF, the separation was performed on a Hypersil ODS2 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 µm), and the column temperature was set at 30℃. The mobile phase was composed of water-methanol (95:5) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. For CML and CEL, separation was performed on a CORTECS HILIC UPLC column (2.1 mm×50 mm, 1.6 µm), and the column temperature was set at 40℃. The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile-water (3:7) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Multiple-reaction monitoring mode was employed for analyte determination with positive ionization. Results: The contents of 5-HMF in 16 TCMIs varied from 0.19 to 74.98 µg/mL, with a larger variation than the contents of CML and CEL. The Ciwujia injection had the highest content of 5-HMF, and the Qingkailing injection had the lowest 5-HMF content. The contents of CML and CEL among these TCMIs were 0.51-7.32 ng·mL-1 and 0.38-5.49 ng·mL-1, respectively. The contents of CML and CEL in the Shuxuetong injection were much higher than in the others.Conclusions: The methods established in this study were simple, rapid and accurate and could provide a theoretical basis for the quality evaluation of TCMIs.

Two simple, accurate and reproducible methods were developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol (PARA) and pamabrom (PAMB) in pure form and in tablets. The first method was based on reserved-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, on a Thermo Hypersil ODS column using methanol:0.01 M sodium hexane sulfonate:formic acid (67.5:212.5:1 v/v/v) as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 2 mL/min and the column temperature was adjusted to 35 °C. Quantification was achieved with UV detection at 277 nm over concentration range of 100-600 and 4-24 μg/mL, with mean percentage recoveries were found to be 99.90 ± 0.586 and 99.26 ± 0.901 for PARA and PAMB, respectively. The second method was based on thin-layer chromatography separation of PARA and PAMB followed by densitometric measurement of the spots at 254 nm and 277 nm for PARA and PAMB respectively. Separation was carried out on aluminum sheet of silica gel 60F254 using dichloromethane:methanol:glacial acetic acid (7.5:1:0.5 v/v/v) as the mobile phase over concentration range of 1-10 and 0.32-3.20 μg per spot, with mean percentage recovery of 100.52 ± 1.332 and 99.71 ± 1.478 for PARA and PAMB, respectively. The methods retained their accuracy in presence of up to 50% of P-aminophenol and could be successfully applied in tablets.

Introduction: Bromazepam is hydrolyzed in acidic aqueous solution leading to a series of degradation products. The rate of acidic hydrolysis is believed to be dependent on the state of protonation of the pyridyl and azomethine nitrogen atoms. Stability test is important in pharmaceutical industry to provide evidence on how the quality of an active substance or pharmaceutical product varies with time under the influence of a variety of environmental factors. Objective: The aim of the study was to develop a simple stability indicating method for the determination of bromazepam. Method: Bromazepam solution was prepared and forced degradation of bromazepam was performed under acid hydrolysis using sulphuric acid. High performance liquid chromatography determination of pure and degraded bromazepam and bromazepam-copper (II) complex was performed using reversed phase octyl C-8 column under isocratic conditions and the chromatographic conditions were set as follows; the flow rate of the mobile phase was 1.5 mL/min; injection volume was 10 μL, column temperature was 30oC and the detector wavelength being 309 nm. Results: Bromazepam, its degradation product and bromazepam chelated with copper (II) were determined using the developed mobile phase with flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. Good separation with sharp peak, minimum tailing and retention time repeatability was obtained. The rate order, rate constant and half-life of degradation were also determined, and it was observed that the degradation reaction follows the first order kinetics. Conclusion: Chromatographic separation of bromazepam chelated with copper (II) was achieved and the method can be further used in drug manufacturing quality control.

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.

A simple, fast, precise and accurate ultra high performance liquid chromatography method was developed for degradation study of eletriptan hydrobromide (EH) under exaggerated conditions. An Inertsil ODS C18 (250 x 4.6 mm, 5µm) column in isocratic mode was used with mobile phase comprising of water, methanol and trifluoroacetic acid mixed in the ratio 55:45:0.1 % V/V/V, maintained at pH 3.5. The flow rate was set at 0.4 mL per minute with UV detection at 225 nm. The retention time of EH was found to be 3.7 minutes. Linearity for EH was found in the range of 3.5- 200 µg per mL and percentage recoveries were obtained in the range of 100.2 % to 100.6 %. The method was capable of resolving all degradants and principle component in sample. The proposed method is accurate, precise, selective, reproducible, and rapid for detection of degradation of eletriptan hydrobromide.
