A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the analysis of capsaicinoid compounds, the pungent principles of capsicum fruits. A sequential simplex method was applied to optimize the chromatographic response function used to assess the quality of separation by varying the chromatographic parameters. The separation was achieved in 11 min using a C-8 column of 15-cm length ...

In this paper, chromatographic analysis of active substance olopatadine hydrochloride, which is used in eye drops as antihistaminic agent, and its impurity E isomer by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and application of design of experiments (DoE) methodology are presented. In addition, benzalkonium chloride is very often used as a preservative in eye drops. Therefore, the ...

The use of NMR chiral solvating agents (CSAs) for the analysis of enantiopurity has been known for decades, but has been supplanted in recent years by chromatographic enantioseparation technology. While chromatographic methods for the analysis of enantiopurity are now commonplace and easy to implement, there are still individual compounds and entire classes of analytes where enantioseparation c...

composition and of ion-exchange resin properties, both very valuable to the amino acid analyst. Detection reagents are evaluated, and gas-chromatographic methods are detailed. There is a good chapter on the important subject of computer application to amino acid analysis. The 46-page chapter on amino acids in physiologic fluids includes methods of a-amino nitrogen and individual methods for phe...

A fast method to obtain a quantitative structure-retention relationship is required in chromatography for the rapid optimization of chromatographic separation conditions. Chromatographic data of acidic drugs are analyzed by a computational chemical method to simulate chromatographic simulation. The direct interaction between a model phase and a drug is calculated as an energy value using the mo...

objective(s) a sensitive liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of clarithromycin- a macrolide antibiotic- in human serum, using pre-column derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (fmoc-cl) is described. materials and methods the method involved liquid-liquid extraction of the drug and an internal standard (amantadine) followed by pre-column derivatization of the analytes wi...

agaricus bisporus and agaricus bitorquis are among most favorite mushrooms of the world. mineral contents, proximate composition and fatty acid profile of these mushrooms were determined for evaluation of their dietary value. na, k and li contents were high, while cr, cu, pb, co, zn, mn and ni concentrations were low in both agaricus bisporus and agaricus bitorquis. proximate analysis showed th...

In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) and UV spectrophotometric method were developed, validated and applied for the determination of theophylline in biological fluids. Liquid- liquid extraction is performed for isolation of the drug and elimination of plasma and saliva interferences. Urine samples were applied without any extraction. The chromatographic separat...

This procedure positively identifies codeine and morphine in urine. Urine samples are hydrolyzed and extracted with organic solvent, and the extracts are evaporated and acetylated. The presence of codeine and morphine is ascertained by gas chromatography (3% OV-25 and 3% Poly-A 103 columns) and confirmed by thin-layer chromatography (system: ethyl acetate/acetone/concd ammonium hydroxide, 100/1...

Acrylamide (AA) is a compound classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. It was first discovered to be present in certain heated processed food by the Swedish National Food Administration (SNFA) and University of Stockholm in early 2002. The major pathway for AA formation in food is the Maillard reaction between reducing sugar and the amino acid asp...
