A high performance liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of isoniazid and acetyl isoniazid in urine was developed. Urine samples were filtered through Whatman number 1 filter paper and diluted filtrate was directly injected into C8 column (250mm). The mobile phase comprised of water and methanol in the ratio of 85:15. The analytes were detected at a wavelength of 274nm. T...

Multiple approaches for simplifying the serum proteome have been described. These techniques are generally developed across different laboratories, samples, mass spectrometry platforms, and analysis tools. Hence, comparing the available schemes is impossible from the existing literature because of confounding variables. We describe a head-to-head comparison of several serum fractionation scheme...

Fingolimod is an immunosuppressive agent which is used for the prophylaxis of organ transplantation rejection or multiple sclerosis treatment. In this study, systematic forced degradation studies on fingolimod bulk powder were performed to develop a stability-indicating HPLC method. Separation of fingolimod and its degradation products was achieved on a Nova-Pak C8 column. The mobile phase was ...

Four bioactive methylated flavonols isolated from Amomum koenigii J.F. Gmelin, 3,7-dihydroxy-5,3′,4′-trimethoxyflavone (1), 5-hydroxy3,7,4′-trimethoxyflavone (2), 3,7-dihydroxy-5,4′-dimethoxyflavone (3), and 5-hydroxy-3,7,3′,4′-tetramethoxyflavone (retusin, 4), have been analyzed by HPLC–DAD on a 4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5-μm particle, C8 column with an acetonitrile–aqueous acetic acid gradient as mobi...

A novel reversed-phase HPLC method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 2-phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, ethylparaben and propylparaben preservatives. The method uses a Lichrosorb C8 (150×4.6 mm, 5 µm) column and isocratic elution. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran and water (21:13:66, v/v/v), pumped at a flow rate of 1 ml...

A rapid, sensitive and reproducible HPLC method using amperometric detector was developed and validated for the analysis of clarithromycin in human plasma. The separation was achieved on a monolithic silica column (MZ- C8 125×4.0 mm) using acetonitrile-methanol-potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (40:6:54,v/v), with pH of 7.5, as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. The assay enable...

A sensitive method for the determination of vitamin K1(20) in serum microsamples (50 microL) has been developed, utilizing solid-phase extraction with C8 Bond-Elut columns and reversed-phase narrow-bore high-performance liquid chromatography [2.1 mm (i.d.), column] with a nonaqueous eluent. Recovery from serum (49 ng/mL) was 76% (n = 2). Peak homogeneity was assessed by photodiode array detecti...

Ethyl pyruvate (EP) is known as a scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body through its role in the donation of diketone groups to metals to form an EP-metal complex. In order to develop a method for the quantification of EP in biological media, a sensitive and specific, high-performance liquid chromatographyelectrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI/MS) method is used to ...

A method was described allowing the isolation of the eighth component of complement, C8, from human serum. C8 is an immunochemically definable, heretofore unrecognized serum protein with a molecular weight of approximately 150,000 and an electrophoretic mobility of a gamma(1)-globulin. It may be obtained with 5% yield as a 5000-fold purified, physicochemically and immunochemically homogeneous p...
