AbstractTwo-step targeted 2D planar chromatographic method (2DTLC) was used in the determination of ginkgolic acids in pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements. The choice of the extraction method and the separation technique was guided by the formulation type (capsule, tablet, tincture) with expected low amounts of ginkgolic acids in the analyzed herbal samples. Separation of ginkgolic acids C15:1 and C17:1 on HPTLC RP18 WF254s was preceded by its separation from the sample matrix on TLC Si60 F254s. Mobile phases consisted of acetonitrile/water/formic acid (80:20:1, V/V/V) and n-heptane/ethyl acetate/formic acid (20:30:1, V/V/V), resp. Identification of separated compounds was based on 2D-TLC co-chromatography with reference substances and off-line 2D-TLC x HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS analysis. Quantification of ginkgolic acids C15:1 and C17:1 was conducted densitometrically. Among the analyzed products, the presence of ginkgolic acids was confirmed only in herbal drugs containing 60 % ethanolic tinctures of Ginkgo biloba leaves. The use of TLC in the quantification of ginkgolic acids C15:1 and C17:1 in ginkgo extracts was described for the first time.

A rapid and sensitive quantitative analytical method was established for the simultaneous determination of five chromones (prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, cimifugin, 4′-O-β-D-glucosyl-5-O-methylvisamminol, 5-O-methylvisammiol, and sec-o-glucosylhamaudol) in the plasma of RS-treated rats for the first time using ultra performance liquid chromatography- (UPLC-) tandem mass spectrometry. The Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) was used as the chromatographic column, 0.1% formic acid water and 0.1% formic acid acetonitrile comprised the mobile phases, and all samples were determined under positive ion mode. The results showed that all analytes had good linearity (r>0.9902), between-day and within-day precisions less than 15%, accuracy between −5.50% and 5.53%, and extraction recovery between 88.26% and 97.65%. Both the matrix effect and stability met the requirements. This method was successfully applied for the comparative pharmacokinetics of five active components of RS in normal and febrile rats. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic behavior of RS extract significantly differed between the two types of rats.

The Pharmaceutical industry uses formic acid in the manufacturing of various drug substances or API. At the time of manufacturing of API formic acid is use as an oxidizing agent. Formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid. It also called methanoic acid.Formic acid present in API at high concentrations is very hazardous but in low concentrations is very beneficial. The developed and validated method was short, precise, cost effective and reproducible with FID detector and easy to use. The method is a selective and superficial analytical method for determination of formic acid in different drug substances. We report here the development and validation study of headspace gas chromatographic method to determine formic acid in different drug substances we are reported here. As per this method, the drug sample was dissolved in 0.1% (v/v) of concentrated sulfuric acid in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in a GC headspace vial and 0.1% (v/v) of concentrated sulfuric acid in isopropyl alcohol used as a diluent. A AB-Inowax capillary column (30 m x 0.32 mm I.D. and 0.5 µm film thickness) was used under gradient conditions with FID. The formic acid peak was well separated from all other solvents that are used in synthesis of particular drug substance. The LOD and LOQof the method for formic acid are 82 ppm and 249 ppm respectively. Formic acid are low toxic class-III solvent as per ICH guideline.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop a single-laboratory validated (SLV) method using high-performance liquid chromatography with different detectors diode array detector (DAD); fluorescence detector (FLD); and mass spectrometry (MS) for determination of 7 B-complex vitamins (B1-thiamin, B2-riboflavin, B3-nicotinamide, B6-pyridoxine, B9-folic acid, pantothenic acid, and biotin) and vitamin C in multivitamin/multimineral dietary supplements. The method involves the use of a reversed-phase octadecylsilyl column (4 m, 250 2.0 mm id) and a gradient mobile phase profile. Gradient elution was performed at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. After a 5 min isocratic elution at 100 A (0.1 formic acid in water), a linear gradient to 50 A and 50 B (0.1 formic acid in acetonitrile) at 15 min was employed. Detection was performed with a DAD as well as either an FLD or a triple-quadrupole MS detector in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. SLV was performed using Standard Reference Material (SRM) 3280 Multivitamin/Multimineral Tablets, being developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, with support by the Office of Dietary Supplements of the National Institutes of Health. Phosphate buffer (10 mM, pH 2.0) extracts of the NIST SRM 3280 were analyzed by the liquid chromatographic (LC)-DAD-FLD/MS method. Following extraction, the method does not require any sample cleanup/preconcentration steps except centrifugation and filtration.

Yeonkyopaedok-san is a traditional Korean medicine used in the early treatment of boils. In the present study, its 12 marker components for quality control were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with photodiode array detection and ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS). The investigated 12 marker components of Yeonkyopaedok-san were as follows: 3-caffeoylquinic acid, cimifugin 7-glucoside, liquiritin apioside, ferulic acid, narirutin, 5-O-methylvisammioside, naringin, neohesperidin, oxypeucedanin hydrate, arctigenin, glycyrrhizic acid, and 6-gingerol. The analytical column used for the separation of the 12 marker analytes in Yeonkyopaedok-san was a Waters SunFire C18 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm). The two mobile phases used were 0.1% (v/v) aqueous formic acid and 0.1% (v/v) formic acid in acetonitrile. In the UPLC–MS/MS analysis, all components were separated using a Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.7 μm). The two mobile phases used were 0.1% (v/v) aqueous formic acid and acetonitrile. The coefficient of determination of the calibration curves in both analysis systems showed good linearity (>0.99). The amounts of the 12 marker components in Yeonkyopaedok-san determined using HPLC–photodiode array detection and UPLC–MS/MS analyses were found to be 0.14–9.00 mg/g and 2.35–853.11 μg/g, respectively.

Abstract During the last three years we and other have observed discrepancies between results for creatine kinase isoenzyme MB as measured with the mechanized ion-exchange chromatographic method in the Du Pont aca and those by other techniques. These observations prompted us to investigate the influence of the matrix on the Du Pont CK-MB assay. We conclude that, apart from possible interferences by CK-MM, CK-BB, and both types of macro CK, the aca will give apparent CK-MB activities that are directly related to protein concentration and inversely related to sodium chloride concentration. Practical consequences for the routine and emergency laboratories are: no diluted samples are allowed; application is restricted to samples from patients suspected of acute myocardial infarction which show upper-normal total CK activity; and multiple timed samples are run, in order to recognize the typical change in enzyme pattern with time.

Abstract A single-laboratory validation (SLV) for the analysis of vitamin D3 was performed in four types of dietary supplements (capsules, soft gels, syrups, and tablets) using LC-MS/MS. Samples were treated by alkaline saponification for oil-based soft gels and utilized EDTA solution for capsules, syrups,and tablets prior to n-hexane extraction. Vitamin D3 in sample extracts was separated on a reversed-phase C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 2.7 μm) using a mobile phase of a 95 + 5 (v/v) mixture of 5 mM ammonium formate in methanol containing 0.1% formic acid and 5 mM ammonium formate in 0.1% formic acid running at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. Vitamin D3 was confirmed by the presence of three fragment ions at m/z 107, 159, and 259 within a defined retention time window from the precursor ion at m/z 385. Quantitation was based on the peak area at m/z 367 to that of the internal standard (d3-vitamin D3) at m/z 370 with reference to the respective response ratios of the calibration standards. The linear response of vitamin D3 ranged from 0.10 to 6.29 mg/L and the correlation coefficient (r) of the six-point calibrationcurves was >0.999. Accuracy, in terms of the spiked recoveries from blank syrup and starch powder at three different concentration levels, was 101–103%. Precision, determined by two different analysts over a period of 5 weeks, ranged from 2.7 to 7.0%for the four preparations. The SLV demonstrates the present LC-MS/MS method is reliable and robust for the determination of vitamin D3 in the studied dietary supplements. Considering the attainmentof satisfactory SLV results, further validation through intra-laboratory collaborative study is recommended.

Background. Robustness tests were firstly introduced for avoiding problems in interlaboratory studies and identifying the factors potentially responsible. A robustness test performing in late validation procedure involves the possibility that when the method is established not robust, it should be redeveloped and optimized. At this stage much effort has been made and money spent for optimization and validation, and therefore avoiding this would be great. Objective. The aim of the study was to consider the robustness of HPLC determination of enalapril (in tablets) by the Youden’s test. Methods. Youden’s test was chosen as an efficient method to assess the robustness among all analytical methods that is by means of an experiment design, which involved seven analytical parameters combined in eight tests. In previous studies, we evaluated the chromatographic method robustness to quantify enalapril (in tablets) by Youden’s test. Results. According to the Youden’s test criteria, HPLC method proved to be greatly robust regarding the enalapril content in introduction of variation of seven analytic parameters. The lowest variation in enalapril content was 0.91 %, when Grace Platinumр C8 EPS column (4.6 mm i.d. X 250 mm, 5 μm) was used. A holistic approach concerning simultaneous innovations in particle technology and instrument design was endeavored for the first time to meet and tackle the analytical laboratory issues. This was aimed at promoting success of analytical scientists as well as profitability and productiveness of business.  Conclusion. The Youden’s test has been proved to be an efficient and useful tool for evaluation of robustness of enalapril HPLC assay.
