Daeshiho-tang (DSHT) is a traditional herbal formula consisting of six herbal medicines: Bupleurum falcatum L., Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Paonia lactiflora Pall., Pheum palmatum L., Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf., and Pinellia ternate (Thunb.) Makino. In this study, we developed a simultaneous analysis method based on high-performance liquid chromatography for the quality control of DSHT. Chromatographic separation of 10 marker components (gallic acid, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, naringin, benzoic acid, baicalin, poncirin, wogonoside, baicalein, and wogonin) was achieved using a water–acetonitrile system as the mobile phase with a SunFire C18 reversed-phase column. The developed analytical method was validated with respect to linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, recovery, and precision. Among the 10 markers of DSHT in the established assay, baicalin, the main compound of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, was present in the highest concentration (36.86–46.17 mg/g). The validated assay will be useful for the quality control of DSHT.

Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor drug, is used for the treatment of breast cancer in pre- and postmenopausal women. Anastrozole’s incorporation into nanoparticulate carriers would enhance its therapeutic performance. To perceive the exact loaded amount of drug in nanocarriers, a valid analytical method is required. The reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated by using the C18 column, 150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm particle size, in isocratic mobile phase composed of 50:50 V/V (volume/volume) acetonitrile–phosphate buffer (pH 3) flowing at a rate of 1.0 mL/min, and a diode array detector (DAD) set at λmax = 215 nm. The validation parameters such as linearity, accuracy, specificity, precision, and robustness have proven the accuracy of the method, with the relative standard deviation percentage (% RSD) values < 2. The limit of detection of the method was found equal to 0.0150 µg/mL, and the limit of quantitation was 0.0607 µg/mL. The percent recovery of sample was in the range of 98.04–99.25%. The method has the advantage of being rapid with a drug retention time of 2.767 min, specific in terms of resolution of peaks void of interference with any of the excipients, and high reproducibility. This makes it highly applicable for quality control purposes.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for vitamin K1 in milk-based infant formula is described. The vitamins are extracted from infant formula by matrix solid-phase dispersion and quantitated by reversed-phase chromatography with fluorescence detection. Vitamin K1 is converted to the fluorescent hydroquinone with a postcolumn zinc reductive reactor. The limit of detection is 12 pg, and the limit of quantitation is 38 pg on-column. Linear responses were obtained in the range 0.55-22.1 ng/mL (r2 = 0.9998). Recoveries of vitamin K1 from an analyte-fortified blank material for milk-based infant formula averaged 91.7% (n = 25). The method provides a rapid, specific, and easily controlled assay for vitamin K1 in fortified infant formula.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of zearalenol and zearalenone in corn. Zearalenol and zearalenone are extracted from corn with methanol–water (1+1) and cleaned up using a solid-phase extraction (SPE) disk, separatedon a reversed-phase analytical column, and detected with a fluorescence detector. The SPE disk concentrated and cleanly separated zearalenol and zearalenone from sample interferences. Standard calibration curves for zearalenol and zearalenone for the concentration range 25–500 ng/mL were linear. The small extract disk had a column capacity equivalent to 1 g extracted corn. Zearalenol and zearalenone were added at levels ranging from 10 to 2000 ng/g to a control sample that contained no detectable levels of zearalenol and zearalenone. Both toxins were recovered from spiked samples at 106.3 and 103.8%, with coefficients of variation of 7.6 and 13.0%, respectively. The method has an estimated reliable limit of detection and limit of quantitation around 10 and 40 ng/g for each toxin, respectively.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for the determination of vitamin K1 in medical foods. The sample is enzymatically digested with lipase and α-amylase and extracted with 1% sodium bicarbonate solution–isopropanol (1 + 1). After C18 solid-phase extraction, vitamin K1 is separated by nonaqueous reversed-phase LC, converted to the hydroquinone by postcolumn zinc reduction, and quantitated by fluorescence detection. The limit of detection is 8 pg (3 σ), and the limit of quantitation is 27 pg (10 σ) on column. Linear response ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 ng vitamin K1 (r = 0.9999). The mean recovery (n = 38) for all spiking levels was 101.6 ± 2.85%. Analysis of Standard Reference Material 1846, Infant Formula, gave a mean value of 0.95 ± 0.088 mg vitamin K/kg (K or K1?)(n = 31) with a coefficient of variation of 9.26.

Abstract A method was developed for the determination of 7B3 (12-propyloxyimino-1,15-pentadecanlactam), a novel macrolactam fungicide, by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) with positive electrospray ionization (ESI+). The method used a reversed-phase C18 column and acetonitrilewater (60 + 40, v/v) mobile phase. The quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe method was used for extraction of 7B3 from cotton plants, which involved the extraction of 10 g homogenized sample with 10 mL acetonitrile, followed by the addition of 4 g anhydrous MgSO4 and 1.0 g NaCl. After centrifugation, 1 mL of the buffered acetonitrile extract was transferred into a tube containing 50 mg primary secondary amine sorbent and 100 mg anhydrous MgSO4. After shaking and centrifugation, the final extract was transferred to an autosampler vial for concurrent analysis by LC/MS. The results of 7B3 determined by LC/MS in the selective ion monitoring mode were linear, and the matrix effect of the method was evaluated. The average recoveries of 7B3 fortified at different levels were within 84.1100.2, and the relative standard deviations were &lt;7.5 for all samples analyzed. The method limit of detection and the limit of quantitation values were 0.03 and 0.1 mg/kg, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine 7B3 residues in practical samples. This method is sensitive, accurate, reliable, simple, and safe.

Abstract A reverse-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) method was developed for strontium ranelate using a full factorial, screening experimental design. The analytical procedure was validated according to international guidelines for linearity, selectivity, sensitivity, accuracy and precision. A separate experimental design was used to demonstrate the robustness of the method. Strontium ranelate was eluted at 4.4 minutes and showed no interference with the excipients used in the formulation, at 321 nm. The method is linear in the range of 20–320 μg mL−1 (R2 = 0.99998). Recovery, tested in the range of 40–120 μg mL−1, was found to be 96.1–102.1 %. Intra-day and intermediate precision RSDs ranged from 1.0–1.4 and 1.2–1.4 %, resp. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation were 0.06 and 0.20 μg mL−1, resp. The proposed technique is fast, cost-effective, reliable and reproducible, and is proposed for the routine analysis of strontium ranelate.

Abstract Paclitaxel (PTX) and sulforaphane (SFN) are known anticancer molecules. Their activity was found to be potentiated when tested concurrently. Only recently, however, a novel SFN enabled PTX self-microemulsifying formulation (SMEDDS) was developed for their simultaneous delivery. This necessitated the development of an analytical method for the simultaneous detection and quantitation of PTX and SFN. In this study, a simple and sensitive isocratic high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) analytical method was developed and validated per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines to satisfy this objective. Its application was demonstrated when quantifying the amount of PTX and SFN released from the SMEDDS in various dissolution media. The separation of the analytes was performed with the aid of a reversed phase C18 column at ambient temperature using a 60:40 mixture of acetonitrile and KH2PO4 buffer (pH 5.0) as the mobile phase. PTX and SFN peaks were detected at 202 nm with high resolution without interference from excipients. This method showed linearity within 2.5–100 μg/mL range with r2 &gt; 0.999. The limit of detection and lower limit of quantitation were 0.1638 and 0.4964 μg/mL for PTX and 0.4419 and 1.3389 μg/mL for SFN, respectively. A total of 98–101% of the injected samples was recovered with RSD of 0.06–0.68% indicating the suitability of the method for the simultaneous detection and quantitation of the molecules in dissolution media.

A simple, reproducible and efficient reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RPHPLC) method has been developed for the estimation of a recently approved anti allergic drug, amlexanox in oral paste dosage form. The separations were carried out on a Zorbax Eclipse XBD, C18 column (150 x 4.6 mm; 5?m) at a flow rate of 1.50 ml/min. by using mobile phase comprising of mixed buffer (pH adjusted to 6.50) and methanol (50:50 v/v). The injection volume was 10 ?l and the peaks were detected at 244 nm. The linear dynamic range found to be in the concentration range of 15-35 ?g/ml and coefficient of correlation was found to be 0.999. The %RSD value was below 2.0 for intra-day and inter-day precision which indicated that the method was highly precise. The LOD (Limit of detection) and LOQ (Limit of quantitation) were found to be 3.8 ng/ml and 12.5 ng/ml, respectively which revealed that the method was highly sensitive. The percentage recovery of amlexanox ranged from 99.31 to 99.75%, indicating the accuracy of the method and absence of interference from the excipients present in the formulation. The proposed method was simple, fast, accurate and reproducible and hence can be applied for routine quality control operations of amlexanox in oral paste dosage form.
