The growing threat of terrorism in many parts of the world has called for the urgent need to find rapid and reliable means of analyzing explosives. This is in view to help forensic scientists to identify different swabs from post-blast debris. The present study aims to achieve an efficient separation and identification of a mixture of sixteen explosive compounds (including nitroaromatics, nitramines, and nitrate esters) by high performance liquid chromatography using a diode array detection (HPLC/DAD) and an Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-120 C18 column at two wavelengths (235 and 214 nm). Relevant chromatographic parameters such as capacity factors, resolution, selectivity and number of theoretical plates have been optimized in order to achieve the best separation of the different components. In this respect, the effects of various parameters such as gradient time, column temperature, flow rate of mobile phase and initial percentage organic mobile phase on the separation of these compounds were investigated. It was revealed that the method allowed a fairly acceptable separation of all the compounds in less than 15 minutes except for two isomers, namely 4-A-2,6-DNT, 2-A-4,6-DNT and 2,6- DNT which could not be resolved by the used C18 column. This shortcoming notwithstanding, the developed method produced satisfactory results and demonstrated sensitive and robust separation, furthermore indicating that the HPLC developed method can be both fast and efficient for the analysis of complex mixtures of explosive compounds.

This study was designed to develop and validate a simple and efficient high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to determine flunixin concentrations in Asian elephant’s (Elephas maximus) plasma. Flunixin was administered orally at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg, and blood samples were collected. Flunixin extraction was performed by adding an equal amount of acetonitrile to plasma and centrifuging at 4500 rpm for 25 minutes. The supernatant was removed, and flunixin was analyzed using HPLC-UV detection. Two methods were developed and tested utilizing two different mobile phases either with or without adding methanol (ACN: H2O vs. ACN: H2O: MeOH). Both methods showed excellent linearity and reproducibility. The limit of detection was 0.05 ug/ml and limit of quantification was 0.1 ug/ml. the efficiency of flunixin recovery was maximized by the addition of methanol to mobile phase (ACN: H2O: MeOH as 50:30:20) at 95% in comparison to 23% without methanol. In conclusion, adding methanol to HPLC methods for extraction of flunixin from elephants’ plasma yielded higher recovery rate than without methanol.

A sensitive and precise HPLC procedure has been developed for the assay of amphotericin B in bulk samples and pharmaceutical formulations by using a C18 column [Kromosil, C18, (5 µm, 4.6mm x 250 mm; Make. Waters)], and mobile phase combination is 1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile in ratio of 45:55 V/V. The procedure has been validated as per the ICH guidelines. The λmax of detection was fixed at 407 nm, so that there was less interference from mobile phase with highest sensitivity according to UV analysis. Calibration plots were linear in the range of 10-100 µg/mL and the LOD and LOQ were 0.02 µg/mL and 0.06 µg/mL respectively. The high recovery and low relative standard deviation confirm the suitability of the method for routine quality control determination of amphotericin B in different formulations.

An HPLC method for digoxin quantification in dissolution samples obtained as per the official British Pharmacopeia (BP) method is presented in this paper. The chromatography was performed at 20 ?C on a Symmetry C18; 3.5 ?m, 75 x 4.6 mm column with water - acetonitrile (72 : 28, v/v), as the mobile phase and UV detection at 220 nm. The method was found to be selective, linear, accurate and precise in the specified ranges. The LOD and LOQ were 0.015 ?g mL-1 and 0.050 ?g mL-1, respectively. Robustness testing was conducted to evaluate the impact of minor changes in the chromatographic parameters (i.e., acetonitrile fraction, flow rate of the mobile phase, column temperature and column length) on the characteristics of the digoxin peak. A. full factorial design (24) was used to investigate the influence of the four variables The presented HPLC method was applied in quality and stability testing of Digoxin tablets 0.25 mg.

An elementary, Valid, speedy and decisive strategy was developed to determine Midostaurin quantitatively in a fixed dosage form. Effective Chromatographic separation of Midostaurin was achieved by using Hypersil C18 Column (250 mm X 4.6 mm internal diameter, five μm particle size) using a mobile phase composed of Methanol and Buffer in the proportion of 75:25(by volume). The Mobile phase was siphoned using a gradient HPLC system at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, and quantification was based on peak area measurement at 270 nm. RT (Retention Time) for Midostaurin was 2.142 min, and dimensionality of Midostaurin was found to be linear with a statistic value of 0.999. The acceptance criteria of precision were relative variance should be less than 2.0%, and also the strategy showed precision 0.3 for Midostaurin, which shows that the tactic was precise. The full Recovery was found to be 99.96 %. Detection Limit and Quantitation Limit values for Midostaurin were found as 0.439 & 1.466. The exactness and authenticity were assessed by evaluation of validation parameters like linearity, precision, specificity, accuracy, LOD, LOQ values as per ICH guidelines.

Abstract Background Quality by design (QbD) refers to the achievement of certain predictable quality with desired and predetermined specifications. A quality-by-design approach to method development can potentially lead to a more robust/rugged method due to emphasis on risk assessment and management than traditional or conventional approach. An important component of the QbD is the understanding of dependent variables, various factors, and their interaction effects by a desired set of experiments on the responses to be analyzed. The present study describes the risk based HPLC method development and validation of ceftriaxone sodium in pharmaceutical dosage form. Results An efficient experimental design based on central composite design of two key components of the RP-HPLC method (mobile phase and pH) is presented. The chromatographic conditions were optimized with the Design Expert software 11.0 version, i.e., Phenomenex ODS column C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5.0 μ), mobile phase used acetonitrile to water (0.01% triethylamine with pH 6.5) (70:30, v/v), and the flow rate was 1 ml/min with retention time 4.15 min. The developed method was found to be linear with r2 = 0.991 for range of 10–200 μg/ml at 270 nm detection wavelength. The system suitability test parameters, tailing factor and theoretical plates, were found to be 1.49 and 5236. The % RSD for intraday and inter day precision was found to be 0.70–0.94 and 0.55–0.95 respectively. The robustness values were less than 2%. The assay was found to be 99.73 ± 0.61%. The results of chromatographic peak purity indicate the absence of any coeluting peaks with the ceftriaxone sodium peak. The method validation parameters were in the prescribed limit as per ICH guidelines. Conclusion The central composite design experimental design describes the interrelationships of mobile phase and pH at three different level and responses to be observed were retention time, theoretical plates, and peak asymmetry with the help of the Design Expert 11.0 version. Here, a better understanding of the factors that influence chromatographic separation with greater confidence in the ability of the developed HPLC method to meet their intended purposes is done. The QbD approach to analytical method development was used for better understanding of method variables with different levels.
