For the PET imaging of prostate cancer, radiotracers targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) are nowadays used in clinical practice. [18F]PSMA-1007, a radiopharmaceutical labeled with fluorine-18, has excellent properties for the detection of prostate cancer. Essential for the human use of a radiotracer is its production and quality control under GMP-compliance. For this purpose, all analytical methods have to be validated. [18F]PSMA-1007 is easily radiosynthesized in a one-step procedure and isolated using solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges followed by formulation of a buffered injection solution and for the determination of its chemical and radiochemical purity a robust, fast and reliable quality control method using radio-HPLC is necessary. After development and optimizations overcoming problems in reproducibility, the here described radio-HPLC method fulfills all acceptance criteria—for e.g., specificity, linearity, and accuracy—and is therefore well suited for the routine quality control of [18F]PSMA-1007 before release of the radiopharmaceutical. Recently a European Pharmacopeia monograph for [18F]PSMA-1007 was published suggesting a different radio-HPLC method for the determination of its chemical and radiochemical purity. Since the here described method has certain advantages, not least of all easier technical implementation, it can be an attractive alternative to the monograph method. The here described method was successfully validated on several radio-HPLC systems in our lab and used for the analysis of more than 60 batches of [18F]PSMA-1007. Using this method, the chemical and radiochemical purity of [18F]PSMA-1007 can routinely be evaluated assuring patient safety.

18F-Fluoroestradiol ([18F]FES), an estrogen analog, is a radiopharmaceutical used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) that allows evaluating the tumor cell receptor profile and the best therapy strategy, the staging, the prognosis and the response to therapy in several breast cancer cases. As there is not any pharmacopoeia’s monograph of [18F]FES to standardize its quality control criteria, this work presents a new HPLC’s method to perform the [18F]FES radiochemical purity. A liquid chromatograph was used with radioactivity and ultraviolet detectors. Three concentrations of fluoroestradiol standard solution were used along the test. Their retention time was compared to its relative radiolabelled analogue to confirm its identity. Several mobile phases with acetonitrile and two mobile phase flows were tested to optimize the runs. Peaks symmetry, retention time, theoretical plates and resolution were analyzed to choose the best conditions. The mean retention time of both standard Fluoroestradiol and [18F]FES solutions were the same, demonstrating that [18F]FES formulation did not interfere with [18F]FES analysis. The best conditions were 1.2 mL/min and isocratic 40% V/V acetonitrile in water, which gave [18F]FES peak resolution greater than 6 and symmetry factor of 1. Thus, the developed method is ready to be validated and implemented in [18F]FES quality control routine in CDTN/Brazil.

A simple, rapid and sensitive Spectrophotometeric method for the determination of fluoroquinolones; ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin have been performed in pure form and pharmaceutical tablets. Both drugs gave reddish complexes when treated with iron (III) chloride at pH 4.0. The drugs showed maximum absorption at 530 and 545 nm. In both cases linear calibration was obtained up to 0.9 mg/10 mL of the drug. Effect of different parameters like pH, temperature and time was also studied on the stability of the complexes. The percentage recoveries found by described method was in the range of 98.2---100.01 %. Standards were prepared from the pure compounds obtained from sigma-Aldrich Pharm. The method was successfully employed for the Assay of drugs in commercial formulations. Finally determination of the drugs was carried out through HPLC method which showed that there is no appreciable difference between the results of both the methods. Results revealed that proposed method is practically suitable for routine applications in quality control laboratories for the analysis of fluoroquinolones drugs.________________________________________GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Development and validation of a high-performance liquid chromatographic analytical procedure for simultaneously determining metronidazole and ofloxacin in a synthetic mixture is described in this paper. The separation was made with a LiChrosorb® RP-18 (250 × 4.6 mm) column, at 30 °C temperature, with isocratic mode and mobile phase, containing triethylamine, acetonitrile, and 0.3% o-phosphoric acid solution (0.02:20:80 v/v/v). Eluent was monitored at 290 nm and the flow rate was 1.0 ml/min. Metronidazole and ofloxacin were effectively separated with retention time (tr) of 3.42 min and 6.15 min, respectively, within the selected chromatographic conditions. The method was validated for analytical parameters: specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, and limits of detection and quantitation. The calibration curves were linear in the concentration range of 12.5 to 100.0 µg/ml for metronidazole and ofloxacin, and the regression coefficients were more than 0.999. For metronidazole and ofloxacin the recovery was 100.01% and 100.04%, respectively. This analytical procedure is applicable for the quality control of drug formulations.

Abstract Two methods have been developed for the determination of voriconazole, a new antifungal drug, in tablets. A UV method, with detection at 255 nm, was compared with a diffusion agar bioassay, which used Sacharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 2601 as the assay organism. The developed methods were linear in the range of 3.0-12.0 and 12.0-24.0 μg/mL, for the microbiological and UV methods, respectively, both exhibiting a coefficient correlation of 0.9999. The UV method demonstrated an improved precision compared to the bioassay method (1.0 versus 2.4%). The average recovery, 99.8 and 100.9%, was suitable in both methods. The results obtained by these 2 methods were compared with those of a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method published previously, and no evidence of significant difference was observed. The proposed methods are appropriate for the determination of voriconazole in tablets and can be used in routine quality control.

AbstractA HPLC method was developed to assess the enhanced bioactivity of bioconverted Mori Folium (MF) extract and to apply a quality-control system. Liquid-liquid extraction was applied to observe changes in chemical composition through enzymatic bioconversion. The ethyl acetate layer was used for quality control of the anti-diabetic functional MF product. A high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed to analyze five marker compounds (syringaldehyde, trans-caffeic acid, morin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, astragalin, and moracin M 3′-O-β-glucopyranoside) within 60 min. Optimized sample preparation was sonication for 44 min and a water-to-material ratio of 102.5 mL/g by response surface methodology. Comparing MF water extract, trans-caffeic acid and syringaldehyde contents were increased 1.89 times and 2.70 times at Viscozyme-bioconverted material by applying the developed method. This HPLC method can be used to control the quality of bioconverted MF based on suitable bioactive markers and also applied to develop anti-diabetic functional foods containing Mori Folium.
