A simple, rapid, accurate, and selective quantitative method based on 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) was successfully established and developed for assessing the purity of dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (KG). In this study, using potassium hydrogen phthalate and fumaric acid as internal standard (IS), several important experimental parameters, such as relaxation delay and pulse angle, were explored. Reliability, specificity, linearity, limit of quantification, precision, stability, and accuracy were also validated. Calibration results obtained from qNMR were consistent with those obtained from HPLC coupled with ultraviolet detection. The proposed method, independent of the reference standard substance, is a useful, reliable, and practical protocol for the determination of KG and glycyrrhizin analogs.

Abstract A simple, specific, and accurate 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic method has been developed for quantitative determination of the Ephedra alkaloids (−)-ephedrine, (+)-pseudoephedrine, and (±)-norephedrine, either singly or in mixtures with each other. Determination of individual alkaloids was carried out in D2O solution, with acetamide as internal standard. Although calculations were based on integrals for the C–CH3 protons, those for the N–CH3 and –CH–O– protons may also be useful, depending on the compound. Determination of diastereomeric cross-contamination of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine—or of the concentrations of these alkaloids in the presence or absence of (±)-norephedrine—was feasible by using the integrals for the –CH–O– protons after addition of a trace of DCI. Mean recoveries for ephedrine and pseudoephedrine from their respective synthetic mixtures with the internal standard (acet- amide) were ≥99.9 ± 0.6% (n = 10) and 99.6 ± 0.8% (n = 10) of the amount added. Recovery for pseudoephedrine from diastereomeric mixtures with ephedrine was >99.4 ± 0.7% (n = 10) of the amount added, with as little as 1.92% still being measurable. Mean recovery of (±)-norephedrine from mixtures with ephedrine and pseudoephedrine was >99.7 ± 2.5% (n = 4) of the amount added, with about 1% still being measurable. Application of the proposed NMR spectroscopic method to commercial dosage forms, including ephedrine sulfate injections and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride tablets, yielded assay results ranging from 97.8 to 100.2% (mean, 99.2%) and from 98.7 to 100.5% (mean, 99.7%) of declared, respectively.

Field observations show that less than one percent of dissociation water can be produced during gas hydrate production, resulting from spontaneous water imbibition into matrix pores. What’s more, the hydrate sediments are easily dispersed in water, and it is difficult to carry out spontaneous imbibition experiments. At present, there is little research work on the imbibition capacity of hydrate sediments. In this paper, a new method of water imbibition is proposed for hydrate sediments, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique is used to monitor water migration. The results show that as the imbibition time increases, the water is gradually imbibed into matrix pores. Water imbibition can cause dramatic changes in pore structure, such as microfracture initiation, fracture network generation and skeleton dispersion. When the imbibition time exceeds a critical value, many secondary pores (new large pores and micro-fractures) start to appear. When imbibition time exceeds the dispersion time, fracture networks are generated, eventually leading to dispersion of the sediment skeleton. The imbibition curves of hydrate sediments can be divided into two linear stages, which corresponds, respectively, to water imbibition of primary pores and secondary pores. The imbibition rate of secondary pores is significantly larger than that of primary pores, indicating that the generation of new fractures can greatly accelerate the imbibition rate. Research on the characteristics of water imbibition in hydrate sediments is important for optimizing hydrate production regime and increasing natural gas production.
