Four methods have been proposed for the determination of methyl-, ethyl- and propyl- esters of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (parabens) in foodstuff, cosmetic products and pharmaceutical formulations by RF-HPLC. Electronic spectra parameters of parabens have been determined. It was found that in neutral solutions the absorption maximums were 195 and 254 nm for all analytes. Signal ratios have been calculated (S254/S230). Signal ratios were used as an additional criterion for identification. The conditions of chromatographic separation were common for all types of samples. A precolumn and an Acclaim (Thermo) column with a C-18 sorbent without any additional modifications (both structural and dynamic), a gradient elution mode with water-acetonitrile mixtures and a spectrophotometric method of detection at two wavelengths were used. The total time of chromatographic analysis was 45 min, including the stage of conditioning the system with a starting eluent (15 min). The retention times of parabens in the reversed-phase variant of separation increased with the increase in alkyl groups in the structure of molecules. The effectiveness of the removal of surfactants from cosmetics by the column chromatography method with silica gel as a polar sorbent and using ethylacetate (an ethylacetate extract of the sample) as an eluent has been shown. The necessity of applying gradient elution mode for reducing analysis time and increasing the amplitude of analytes signals was established. The calculated validation parameters (detection limit, limit of quantitation, limit of repeatability, recovery) show the compliance of the methods with the current regulatory documents (SanPiN 2.3.2.1293-03, SanPiN 2.3.2.2364-08).

Abstract The aim of this research was to develop and validate a sensitive, rapid, easy, and precise reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) method for stability studies of bifonazole (I) formulated with tinctures of calendula flower (II). The method was especially developed for the analysis and quantitative determination of I and II in pure and combined forms in cream pharmaceutical formulations without using gradient elution and at room temperature. The influence on the stability of compound I of temperature, artificial radiation, and drug II used for the new pharmaceutical design was evaluated. The LC separation was carried out using a Supelcosil LC-18 column (25 cm × 4.6 mm id, 5 μm particle size); the mobile phase was composed of methanol–0.1 M ammonium acetate buffer (85 + 15, v/v) pumped isocratically at a flow rate of 1 mL/min; and ultraviolet detection was at 254 nm. The analysis time was less than 10 min. Calibration graphs were found to be linear in the 0.125–0.375 mg/mL (rI = 0.9991) and 0.639–1.916 mg/mL (rII = 0.9995) ranges for I and II, respectively. The linearity, precision, recovery, and limits of detection and quantification were satisfactory for I and II. The results obtained suggested that the developed LC method is selective and specific for the analysis of I and II in pharmaceutical products, and that it can be applied to stability studies.

The aim of our present work was the development of a rapid high-performance liquid chromatography method with electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry detection (LC-ESI-MS/MS) for the determination of several corticosteroids in cosmetic products. Corticosteroids are suspected to be illegally added in cosmetic preparations in order to enhance the curative effect against some skin diseases. Sample preparation step consists in a single extraction with acetonitrile followed by centrifugation and filtration. The compounds were separated by reversed-phase chromatography with water and acetonitrile (both with 0.1% formic acid) gradient elution and detected by ESI-MS positive and negative ionization mode. The method was validated at the validation level of 0.1 mg kg−1. Linearity was studied in the 5–250 μg L−1 range and linear coefficients (r2) were all over 0.99. The accuracy and precision of the method were satisfactory. The LOD ranged from 0.085 to 0.109 mg kg−1 and the LOQ from 0.102 to 0.121 mg kg−1. Mean recoveries for all the analytes were within the range 91.9–99.2%. The developed method is sensitive and useful for detection, quantification, and confirmation of these corticosteroids in cosmetic preparations and can be applied in the analysis of the suspected samples under investigation.

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.

A depletion of reduced glutathione (GSH) has been observed in pathological conditions and in aging. Measuring GSH in tissues using mouse models is an excellent way to assess GSH depletion and the potential therapeutic efficacy of drugs used to maintain and/or restore cellular redox potential. A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the simultaneous determination of GSH and cysteine (Cys) in mouse organs was validated according to USA and European standards. The method was based on separation coupled with ultraviolet detection and precolumn derivatization with 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB). The required validation parameters, that are, selectivity, linearity, lower limit of quantification, precision, accuracy, recovery, and stability, were studied for spleen, lymph nodes, pancreas, and brain. The results showed that the lower limits of quantification were 0.313 μM and 1.25 μM for Cys and GSH, respectively. Intraday and interday precisions were less than 11% and 14%, respectively, for both compounds. The mean extraction recoveries of Cys and GSH from all organs were more than 93% and 86%, respectively. Moreover, the stability of both analytes during sample preparation and storage was demonstrated. The method was accurate, reliable, consistent, and reproducible and it was useful to determine Cys and GSH in the organs of different mouse strains.

Abstract A simple, precise, and rapid RPLC method has been developed without incorporation of any ion-pair reagent for the simultaneous determination of vitamin C (C) and seven B-complex vitamins, viz, thiamine hydrochloride (B1), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), nicotinamide (B3), cyanocobalamine (B12), folic acid, riboflavin (B2), and 4-aminobenzoic acid (Bx). Separations were achieved within 12.0 min at 30°C by gradient elution on an RP C18 column using a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of 15 mM ammonium formate buffer and 0.1% triethylamine adjusted to pH 4.0 with formic acid and acetonitrile. Simultaneous UV detection was performed at 275 and 360 nm. The method was validated for system suitability, LOD, LOQ, linearity, precision, accuracy, specificity, and robustness in accordance with International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The developed method was implemented successfully for determination of the aforementioned vitamins in pharmaceutical formulations containing an individual vitamin, in their multivitamin combinations, and in human urine samples. The calibration curves for all analytes showed good linearity, with coefficients of correlation higher than 0.9998. Accuracy, intraday repeatability (n = 6), and interday repeatability (n = 7) were found to be satisfactory.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to design and validate a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography method for the separation and quantification of two active pharmaceutical ingredients (ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, hydrocortisone) and a preservative (benzyl alcohol) in ear drops. Effective separation of the examined compounds was achieved on a GraceSmart™ RP 18 column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with gradient elution and a diode array detector. The total assay run time was 25 min. Analytical method validation assays were performed. Validation parameters used for the evaluation were: specificity, linearity, trueness, precision (repeatability and reproducibility), limit of detection and limit of quantitation. Results of the validation procedure (high recoveries, good standard deviations, no interfering peaks at the retention times corresponding to the analytes) confirm that the developed chromatographic method can be applied for routine analysis of ear drops.

This study aimed to develop and validate a stability-indicating liquid chromatography method for the determination of tirofiban hydrochloride and two synthetic impurities (impurity A and impurity C). The method utilizes a RP-18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm; 5 μm) with the PDA detector for quantitation. A mixture of triethylamine 0.1% (acidified to pH 5.5 with phosphoric acid) and acetonitrile was used as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL min−1 with gradient elution. The method presented satisfactory linearity, precision, accuracy and robustness, as well as low limits of detection and quantification, which demonstrate sensitivity in the determination of tirofiban and impurities A and C. It was selective for the determination of the drug and impurities analysed, without interference of the degradation products generated under forced conditions, demonstrating the stability-indicating capacity of the proposed method. Tirofiban showed to be practically stable to oxidative (30% H2O2 for 24 h) and thermal (75 ºC for 24 h) conditions, but presented degradation to UVA light and acid hydrolysis, obeying the first order kinetics for both. In this way, it can be used as a stability-indicating method in the quality control of the raw material of tirofiban hydrochloride, as well as of the finished product. The obtained results demonstrate the importance of deepening the studies in this area, in order to guarantee the quality of commercialized pharmaceutical products.

Abstract A reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of ezetimibe and simvastatin in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The LC method was carried out on a Synergi fusion C18 column (150 mm 4.6 mm id) maintained at 45C. The mobile phase consisted of phosphate buffer 0.03 M, pH 4.5acetonitrile (35 + 65, v/v) run at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min, and detection was made using a photodiode array detector at 234 nm. The chromatographic separation was obtained within 15.0 min, and calibration graphs were linear in the concentration range of 0.5200 g/mL. Validation parameters such as specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, and robustness were evaluated, giving results within the acceptable range for both compounds. Moreover, the proposed method was successfully applied for the routine quality control analysis of pharmaceutical products.
