Metronidazole is the most popular representative of antiprotozoal medicines from the group of 5-nitroimidazoles. Metronidazole blocks the enzymes of alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, therefore when its joint taking with alcohol it is observed the strong intoxication syndrome and fatal poisonings too. Therefore metronidazole can be a potential object of chemical toxicological investigations. The purpose of our paper is to develop HPLC/UV-procedure of metronidazole quantification with application of the system of HPLC-analyzer MiLiChrome® A-0230 implemented in practice of forensic medical laboratories in Russia and Ukraine and carry out step-by-step validation of the developed procedure. Chromatographic conditions: Eluent A (0.2 M LiClO4 – 0.005 M HClO4) and Eluent B (acetonitrile) wereused as the mobile phase components; HPLC microcolumn Ø2×75 mm and ProntoSIL 120-5-C18 AQ, 5 μm were used as an analytical column; temperature was 40°С; flow rate was 100 μl/min; gradient elution mode was from 5% to 100% Eluent B for 40 min, then 100% Eluent B for 3 min; detection was performed at 277 nm. Retention time for metronidazole is 5.95 min. Since metronidazole is easy soluble and stable enough in the solutions of diluted alkalis 0.001 M sodium hydroxide solution has been proposed for preparation of the solutions in developing HPLC/UV-procedure of metronidazole quantification. Validation of the procedure has been carried out in the variants of the method of calibration curve and method of standard by such parameters as in process stability, linearity/calibration model, accuracy and precision within 3 different analytical runs using different batches of reagents and different glassware; experiments have been performed by three different analysts. New procedure of metronidazole quantitative determination by the method of HPLC/UV has been developed. Its validation has been carried out and acceptability for application has been shown.

Development and validation of six potential impurities by ultra performance liquid chromatography electro spray ionization tandem mass (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method for dronedarone hydrochloride drug was accomplished coherent with ICH guidelines. Successful chromatographic separation of dronedarone with its six impurities was attained by using gradient elution mode on RP-UPLC column using three pump mode system of 0.1 % formic acid in water as mobile phase A, methanol as the mobile phase B and solvent mixture of methanol, acetonitrile and water in the ratio of 65:30:5 v/v/v as the mobile phase C. Chromatographic conditions were set as 0.3 mL min-1 flow rate at the column temperature of 45 °C with the injection volume 2 μL. Briefly, the method enabled quantitation of six impurities with high accuracy (recovery > 90 %) and precision (% RSD < 5.0),within the ranges of 0.18-2.82 μg g-1. The regression (r) for each impurity over a range was > 0.99. The detection limit and quantitation limit of impurities were set at 0.09 and 0.18 μg g-1, respectively. The performed validation tests proved the suitability of the method for its intended purposes.

Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and attributed to the group of antiretroviral medicines used for treatment of HIV infection. For efavirenz determination the method of HPLC is widely used, but efavirenz is applied in high concentration and less sensitive methods of analysis such as spectrophotometry may be useful for its quantification. The aim is to develop UV-spectrophotometric procedures of efavirenz quantification and carry out step-by-step validation of the developed procedures. UV-spectra of efavirenz in 96% ethanol and 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution have been investigated and the absorption maximums are observed at 247 nm and 267 nm respectively. The procedures of efavirenz quantitative determination by the method of UV-spectrophotometry have been developed using the mentioned solvents and wavelengths respectively. Their validation by such parameters as stability, linearity, accuracy and precision in the variants of the method of calibration curve, method of standard and method of additions has been carried out. All procedures of efavirenz quantitative determination are acceptable for application. The best linearity, accuracy and repeatability have been fixed for the procedure with application of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution as a solvent in the variant of the method of additions.

AbstractThe present study introduces a systematic approach using analytical quality by design (AQbD) methodology for the development of a qualified liquid chromatographic analytical method, which is a challenge in herbal medicinal products due to the intrinsic complex components of botanical sources. The ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-MS) technique for 11 flavonoids in Genkwa Flos was utilized through the entire analytical processes, from the risk assessment study to the factor screening test, and finally in method optimization employing central composite design (CCD). In this approach, column temperature and mobile solvent slope were found to be critical method parameters (CMPs) and each of the eleven flavonoid peaks’ resolution values were used as critical method attributes (CMAs) through data mining conversion formulas. An optimum chromatographic method in the design space was calculated by mathematical and response surface methodology (RSM). The established chromatographic condition is as follows: acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid gradient elution (0–13 min, 10–45%; 13–13.5 min, 45–100%; 13.5–14 min, 100–10%; 14–15 min, 10% acetonitrile), column temperature 28℃, detection wavelength 335 nm, and flow rate 0.35 mL/min using C18 (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) column. A validation study was also performed successfully for apigenin 7-O-glucuronide, apigenin, and genkwanin. A few important validation results were as follows: linearity over 0.999 coefficient of correlation, detection limit of 2.87–22.41, quantitation limit of 8.70–67.92, relative standard deviation of precision less than 0.22%, and accuracy between 100.13 and 102.49% for apigenin, genkwanin, and apigenin 7-O-glucuronide. In conclusion, the present design-based approach provide a systematic platform that can be effectively applied to ensure pharmaceutically qualified analytical data from complex natural products based botanical drug.

A novel analytical method involving high-performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detection (HPLC-ELSD) was developed for simultaneous determination of 11 phenolic acids and 12 triterpenes in Sanguisorba officinalis L. Chromatographic separation was conducted with gradient elution mode by using a DiamonsilTM C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with the mobile phase of 0.1% acetic acid water (A) and methanol (B). The drift tube temperature of ELSD was set at 70 °C and the nitrogen cumulative flow rate was 1.6 L/min. The method was fully validated to be linear over a wide concentration range (R2 ≥ 0.9991). The precisions (RSD) were less than 3.0% and the recoveries were between 97.7% and 101.4% for all compounds. The results indicated that this method is accurate and effective for the determination of 23 functional components in Sanguisorba officinalis L. and could also be successfully applied to study the influence of processing method on those functional components in Sanguisorba officinalis L.

The present study was undertaken to develop and validate a simple, sensitive, accurate, precise and reproducible UV spectrophotometric method for cefuroxime axetil using methanol as solvent. In this method the simple UV spectrum of cefuroxime axetil in methanol was obtained which exhibits absorption maxima (?max) at 278 nm. The quantitative determination of the drug was carried out at 278 nm and Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of (0.80-3.60) µg/ml. The proposed method was applied to pharmaceutical formulation and percent amount of drug estimated (95.6% and 96%) was found in good agreement with the label claim. The developed method was successfully validated with respect to linearity, specificity, accuracy and precision. The method was shown linear in the mentioned concentrations having line equation y = 0.05x + 0.048 with correlation coefficient of 0.995. The recovery values for cefuroxime axetil ranged from 99.85-100.05. The relative standard deviation of six replicates of assay was less than 2%. The percent relative standard deviations of inter-day precision ranged between 1.45-1.92% and intra-day precision of cefuroxime axetil was 0.96-1.51%. Hence, proposed method was precise, accurate and cost effective.  Keywords: UV-Vis spectrophotometer; Method validation; Cefuroxime axetil; Recovery studies.  © 2013 JSR Publications.
