Solid-phase extraction method followed by direct UV spectrophotometry at 264 nm was developed and applied for the selective ibuprofen determination in two-component formulation of ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine-HCl, combined powder which contains ibuprofen in the form of salt with L-arginine and 10% ibuprofen cream. Procedures for ibuprofen determination in complex pharmaceutical preparations by...

Twenty-one samples of commercial annatto formulations have been analyzed for color content (as bixin or norbixin) using a developed HPLC-PDA method and the results compared with those obtained using UV-vis spectrophotometric methods. HPLC-PDA provided superior qualitative and quantitative data, particularly with respect to the determination of colored degradation compounds. Two samples of norbi...

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with photodiode array (PDA) UV and fluorescence (FL) detection, and capillary electrochromatography (CEC) with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection were investigated for the analysis of acidic extracts derived from illicit methamphetamine. These compounds include major impurities from the hydriodic acid/red phosphorous reduction method, i.e., ...

The study was aimed to evaluate various pharmacokinetic parameters of a commercially available fixed dose combination of oral antidiabetics (Metformin/Glibenclamide 500/5mg tablets) in plasma sample of normal healthy adult male volunteers by applying an accurate, selective, and reproducible HPLC-UV analytical method for quantification of Metformin HCL and Glibenclamide simultaneously in a singl...

Khuhawar et al. (1998) studied the HPLC determination of rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide in the pharmaceutical preparations. Isoniazid alone and along with pyrazinamide and rifampicin has been estimated by HPLC. Rifampicin and pyrazinamide were separated from the derivative of isoniazid and are simultaneously determined. The chromatography is carried out from C18 column. These drugs were...

This study presents an HPLC method for simultaneous analysis of astaxanthin and its carotenoid precursors from Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. The HPLC method is accomplished by employing a C18 column and the mobile phase methanol/water/acetonitrile/ dichloromethane (70:4:13:13, v/v/v/v). Astaxanthin is quantified by detection at 480 nm. The carotenoid precursors are identified by LC-APCI-MS and...

HPLC and gel permeation chromatographic (GPC) characterization of complex phenol-formaldehyde resins is described. Reversed-phase HPLC fingerprints the phenolic monomers, dimers and some oligomers. The molecular masses of these phenolic compounds were determined using an ion trap mass spectrometer. GPC analyzes tetrahydrofuran-soluble phenolic polymers beyond HPLC capability. The molecular mass...

OBJECTIVES Allopurinol is a uric acid lowering drug used in the treatment of gout and the prevention of tumor lysis syndrome. Allopurinol and its active metabolite oxipurinol inhibit xanthine oxidase, which forms uric acid from xanthine and hypoxanthine. Therapeutic drug monitoring is an important option for evaluation and optimization of allopurinol treatment in case of renal impairment, inter...

To examine the composition of lanostanoids in Ganoderma lucidum, we have developed a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method by using the ganoderic acids isolated in our laboratory as reference standards. The identity of 14 peaks in the high performance liquid chromatogram (HPLC) of G. lucidum has been confirmed. By using the HPLC retention times of these ganoderic acids and thei...

Detection of aminoglycoside antibiotics by MS or HPLC is complicated, because a) carbohydrate molecules have low ionization ability in comparison with other organic molecules (particularly in MALDI-MS), and b) the lack of aromatics and/or amide bonds in the molecules makes common HPLC UV-detectors useless. Here, we report on the application of a previously developed method for amine derivatizat...
