Advances in manufacturing processes provide the ability for the high throughput production of liposomes containing a range of moieties, from small molecules to large biologicals (including proteins and nucleic acids for prophylactic and therapeutic applications). Whilst rapid quantification methods for small molecules are generally well established, the ability to rapidly quantify liposomal entrapment of proteins is limited. Indeed, most standard protein quantification techniques (including the BCA assay and Reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC)) measure protein encapsulation indirectly, by measuring the amount of non-incorporated drug, and subtracting from the initial amount of protein added. However, this can give inaccurate and misrepresentative results. To address this, we have developed a range of methods to directly quantify protein entrapment within liposomes. The encapsulation efficiency within neutral, anionic and cationic liposome formulations was determined by three techniques; BCA assay, RP-HPLC and HPLC coupled to an evaporative light scattering detector, (HPLC-ELSD). All three methods are reliable for the quantification of protein, with linear responses and correlation coefficients of 0.99, and LOQ for all three methods being less than 10 µg/mL. Here within, we provide three methods for the rapid and robust quantification of protein loading within liposomal (and other bilayer) vesicle systems.

Abstract This improved method for rapid determination of uric acid in serum is based on high-performance liquid-gel-permeation chromatography, with hydrophilic and highly porous vinyl alcohol copolymer as packing material. It has the following advantages: no need for sample deproteinization or use of a precolumn, more than 500 serum samples can be analyzed without having to regenerate or recondition the analytical apparatus, and the analysis for uric acid is a one-step procedure. Correlation coefficients between this method and other methods are very good (r = 0.998, 0.999).

Objective: The immense literature study was carried out and disclosed that here no method arrived for the concomitant assessment of omeprazole and piperine in bulk form by using RP-HPLC. Hence, an effort was assembled to arise a easy, specific, precise, reliable, linear, rapid, and validated reverse phase-high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) technique for the simultaneous assessment of omeprazole and piperine in bulk form.Methods: The chromatographic analysis of omeprazole and piperine was performed using a RP-HPLC (WATERS) provided with autosampler and ultraviolet (UV) detector with the software of EMPOWER Version 2. The chosen conditions were isocratic separation with two mobile phase composed of acetonitrile:buffer (phosphate buffer: pH 6.5 ± 0.1) (55:45). Detection was carried out using UV/visible double-beam spectrophotometer at 320 nm. The method was validated as per the ICH guidelines.Results: The retention time for omeprazole and piperine by proposed HPLC method was found to be 2.767 and 4.029 min, respectively. The correlation coefficients are 0.999. The developed chromatographic method was found to be accurate with recovery 99.2–99.8% and was found within the acceptance criteria (i.e., 98.0–102.0%) with acceptable % relative standard deviation of not >2% at each level.Conclusion: Thus, the proposed HPLC procedure for the concomitant assessment of omeprazole and piperine was accurate, precise, linear, robust, simple, and economic.

Evolution of the whey proteins fractions and proteolysis indices from 12 batches of the artisan cheese Afuega'l Pitu variety were studied by reversed phase high performance liquid chro matography (RP-HPLC) over the ripening period. The correlation coefficients between the whey protein contents and ripening time were very low, indicating that the whey protein content did not change as the cheese aged. However, soluble nitrogen content and the percentage of total nitrogen in the soluble form showed correlation coefficients higher than 0.9 with increasing ripening time. Analysis of variance showed significant differences ( p < 0.05) between dairies for most of the variables with the exception of β-lactoglobulin A and bovine serum albumin. These variables were also significantly different between the two manufacture zones. Conversely, no significant differences ( p < 0.05) were observed between the two varieties of cheese, red and white, for whey protein content or for proteolysis indices.

A simple and validated reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed for simultaneous estimation of Esomeprazole and Domperidone. Different HPLC Chromatographic conditions were used to find out the optimum chromatographic condition for best elution of drugs. Good chromatographic separation was achieved on Develosil ODS HG-5 RP C18 (15cmX4.6mm, 5m Particle size), analytical column using a mixture of Potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer pH: acetonitrile in the ratio of 45:55 v/v used as mobile phase at the flow rate of 1 ml/min and detector wavelength at 284nm. The validation of the proposed method was carried out for specificity, linearity and range, accuracy, precision, limit of detection and limit of quantification. Linearity range was found to be 0-140 μg/ml and 0-150 μg/ml with correlation coefficients of 0.995 and 0.994 and retention time of 2.59 and 3.85 min for Domperidone and Esomeprazole respectively. The LOD was found to be 0.341 g/ml and 2.031 g/ml and LOQ was found to be 1.023 g/ml and 6.093 g/ml respectively. The result shows the developed method is yet another suitable method for assay and stability studies which can help in the analysis of Domperidone and Esomeprazole in different formulations.

A rapid reversed phase highperformance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of L-ascorbic acid and L-ascorbylpalmitate (AP). The chromatography was performed on a SSI model 2300-525 high performance liquid chromatographequipped with anAlltechApollo C18 column at 30 oC.The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water (90:10,v/v) with the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. UV detection wavelength was 250 nm. This method permits the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid and AP in the synthesis of AP transesterified with methyl palmitate and ascorbic acid. The detection limit of ascorbic acid and AP was 0.07μg/mL and 0.12μg/mL, respectively. The recovery was 90.59 ± 3.04% for ascorbic acid and 101.3 ± 4.81% for AP. The linearity range for ascorbic acid and AP was in the range of 0.1 - 0.7 mg/mL and 0.4 - 4.0 mg/mL, respectively. Correlation coefficients (R2) were 0.9910 for ascorbic acid and 0.9986 for AP. The proposed method could be used for routine quality control of AP synthesis with methyl palmitate and ascorbic acidby enzymatic transesterification.

AbstractAn isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method with diode array detection (DAD) was developed for the determination of aluminium tris(ethyl phosphonate) (fosetyl-aluminium, fosetyl-Al) in plant-protection products. The method involves extraction of the active ingredient by sonication of the sample with water and direct measurement by RPHPLC. The isocratic RP-HPLC method for the analysis of fosetyl-Al thus developed was then validated for specificity, linearity, precision, and accuracy. The chromatographic peak confirmation was performed by LC-MS using electron spray ionisation in the negative-ion mode. The repeatability of the method, expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD, %), was found to be 0.5 % and the limit of detection was 0.035 mg mL−1. The average recoveries of the three fortification levels varied from 96.7 % to 100.6 % and the RSDs ranged between 2.6 % and 6.3 %. The precision of the method was also considered to be acceptable as the experimental repeatability relative standard deviation (RSDr) was lower than the RSDr, calculated using the Horwitz equation. The method is rapid, simple, accurate, cost-effective, and provides a new and reliable means for the analysis of fosetyl-Al in formulated products.
