Abstract
A new, sensitive, and rapid isocratic reversed phase chromatographic method (RP-HPLC-UV) was developed for simultaneous separation of two newly co-formulated antiulcer mixtures; Amoxicillin, Vonoprazan and Clarithromycin [Mixture (I)], and Amoxicillin, Lansoprazole and Clarithromycin [Mixture (II)]. Analytical separation was performed using a Promosil C18 column and ultraviolet detection at 210 nm. The separation was achieved within only 8 min. For both mixtures, an aqueous solution, composed of (Acetonitrile: Methanol: 0. 2 M phosphoric acid) within ratio of (30: 30: 40) adjusted to final pH 3.0, was the mobile phase. This method was validated as per the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. The linearity ranges of these proposed method of the (Mixture (I)) were 25.0-400.0 µg/mL Amoxicillin, 0.5-8.0 µg/mL Vonoprazan, and 12.5-200.0 µg/mL Clarithromycin. And the linearity ranges of the (Mixture (II)) were 10.0-300.0 µg/mL Amoxicillin, 0.3-9.0 µg/mL Lansoprazole and 5.0-150.0 µg/mL Clarithromycin. This method was firstly applied for effective separation of Amoxicillin, Vonoprazan and Clarithromycin [Mixture (I)]. It fulfilled good repeatability, sensitivity, and accuracy (R.S.D. < 2.0%). The mean recoveries of the analytes in their Tri-Pak formulations were acceptable. The greenness of the developed chromatographic methods was assessed using an Eco-scale method and it was applied for content uniformity testing as per the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the acceptance value of Amoxicillin, in Mixture (I) was 2.88, the acceptance values for Amoxicillin, Lansoprazole in Mixture (II) were 2.592, 2.424, respectively.

Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is one of the most useful techniques for the separation and determination of new drugs with a complex nature. The selection of an HPLC detector depends on the chemical nature of molecules, potential impurities, matrix of the sample, sensitivity, availability, and/or cost of the detector. HPLC methods with UV/Vis detectors are the most used and simple analytical procedures in pharmaceutical applications, but it is limited to compounds that possess a chromophore. Hence, this review provides an overview on the development of analytical methods for compounds with weak chromophores. The review described selected papers about HPLC based methods in the PubMed, Scopus, Semantic Scholar and ScienceDirect databases, basically between 2006 and 2023. Of the analytical studies, the HPLC methods with UV-Vis, FLD, CAD, ELSD, RID, ECD, CLND and MS detection were found. This study is a comparison of different types of detection that are described in scientific literature and are routinely used for compounds with weak chromophores. It is expected that this review will be helpful for scientists in the analytical development fields to improve research related to the drug candidates and to ensure its quality according to regulatory levels.

LC-MS/MS approach for simultaneous assessment of hyoscine N-butyl bromide and ketoprofen in biological fluids and pharmaceuticals. Biomed Chromatogr 2023; 37:e5612. [PMID: 36849127 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.5612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2023]
Abstract
The mixture of hyoscine N-butyl bromide (HBB) and ketoprofen (KTP) is commonly used for the handling of abdominal spasms and pain relief. There are two challenges that restrict the simultaneous assessment of HBB and KTP in biological fluids and pharmaceuticals. The first issue is the difficulty of elution of HBB and the second one is the presence of KTP as a racemic mixture in all pharmaceutical formulations, which obscures its appearance as a single peak. An ultrasensitive and highly efficient liquid chromatography-mass/mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method is designed and validated for the first concurrent assessment of HBB and KTP in spiked human serum and urine, and pharmaceutical formulations. The estimated linearity ranges for HBB and KTP were respectively, 0.5-500 and 0.05-500 ng/ml, with excellent correlation coefficients. Validation results showed that the value of relative standard deviations were <2% for HBB and KTP. The mean extraction recoveries for HBB and KTP were, respectively, 91.04 and 97.83% in Spasmofen® ampoules; 95.89 and 97.00% in spiked serum; and 97.31 and 95.63% in spiked urine. The presented innovative chromatographic approach was utilized for the measurement of trace amounts of coexisting pharmaceuticals in pharmacokinetics studies and routine therapeutic medication monitoring.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major health conditions for high mortality and morbidity in humans. Delay in the diagnosis of CVDs effect patients long and short-term health condition. In -house assembled UV-light emitting diode (LED) based fluorescence detector for high -performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (HPLC-LED-IF) system is used to record serum chromatograms of three categories of samples namely, before medicated- myocardial infarction (B-MI), after medicated- MI (A-MI), and normal. The sensitivity and performance of HPLC-LED-IF system is estimated using commercial serum proteins. Statistical analysis tools like, descriptive statistics, principal component analysis (PCA), and Match/ No Match test were applied to visualize the variation in three groups of samples. Statistical analysis of the protein profile data showed fairly good discrimination among the three categories. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve also supported the reliability of the method to diagnose MI.

A new green approach for the reduction of consumed solvents and simultaneous quality control analysis of several pharmaceuticals using a fast and economic RP-HPLC method; a case study for a mixture of piracetam, ketoprofen and omeprazole drugs. RSC Adv 2022; 12:16301-16309.

Abstract
One of the main aims of green analytical chemistry (GAC) is the reduction of solvents and chemicals consumed. Recycling the mobile phase in chromatographic techniques provides an efficient way to implement GAC principles. However, this is not an easy job, particularly in the case of the gradient mode. Analysis of multi-pharmaceuticals for the same manufacturer using one mobile phase system dramatically reduces consumed solvents, time, and cost for pharmaceuticals analysis in quality control laboratories. This work is an attempt to reduce time, cost and effort needed for quality control analysis of several dosage forms produced by the same manufacturer. Our novel and green RP-HPLC method is able to separate and quantify a tertiary mixture of piracetam, ketoprofen and omeprazole produced by the same manufacturers. The analyst can easily quantify the three drugs in the three dosage forms in one run using the gradient elution mode of methanol and water (from 50% methanol to 85% methanol in ten minutes) with a flow rate 1.5 mL min−1 on a non-polar C18 column. Suitable dilutions were done for the working solution of the mixed pharmaceutical formulations prior to chromatographic analysis. This procedure will dramatically reduce the consumed solvents and save time and money during pharmaceutical analysis. The calibration ranges are (5–25), (5–25) and (3–20) μg mL−1 for the three studied drugs. The International Council for Harmonization (ICH) procedures were followed in the validation process and the results were evaluated in comparison with official HPLC methods, where no noteworthy differences were found. The green profile of the method and pictograms of AGREE and Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI) approaches proved the eco-friendly character for the studied drugs. The simultaneous quantitative analysis for Stimulan® and Hyposec® capsules, and Ketolgin® tablets from the Amoun Pharmaceutical Company, Egypt, can be accomplished via the novel method. Also, Memoral® ampoules, Topfam® tablets, and Gastroloc® capsules from Sigma Pharmaceutical Industries, Egypt, could be analyzed simultaneously. Omez® capsules and Ketogesic® tablets from the Pharaonia Pharmaceuticals, Egypt, could be determined simultaneously too. Applying this RP-HPLC method, a significant reduction of the total cost is assured as the required amount of solvent is noticeably decreased when performing multi-analyses in comparison to single component analysis. We report a novel and green RP-HPLC method able to separate and quantify a tertiary mixture of piracetam, ketoprofen and omeprazole produced by the same manufacturers.![]()

Abstract
Combination therapy of many anthelmintic drugs has been used to achieve fast animal curing. Q-DRENCH is an oral suspension, containing four different active drugs against GIT worms in sheep, commonly used in Australia and New Zeeland. The anti-parasitic drugs are Albendazole (ALB), Levamisole HCl (LEV), Abamectin (ABA), and Closantel (CLO). The main purpose of this study is to present a new simultaneous stability-indicting HPLC-DAD method for the analysis of the four drugs. The recommended liquid system was 1 mL of Triethylamine/L water, adjusting the pH to 3.5 by glacial acetic acid: acetonitrile solvent (20:80, v/v). Isocratic elusion achieved the desired results of separation at a 2 mL/min flow rate using Zorbax C-18 as a stationary phase. Detection was performed at 210 nm. The linearity ranges were 15.15 to 93.75 μg/mL for ALB, 25 to 150 μg/mL for LEV, 30 to 150 μg/mL for ABA, and 11.7 to 140.63 μg/mL for CLO. Moreover, the final greenness score was 0.62 using the AGREE tool, which reflects the eco-friendly nature. Moreover, the four drugs were determined successfully in the presence of their stressful degradation products. This work presents the first chromatographic method for simultaneous analysis for Q-DRENCH oral suspension drugs in the presence of their stressful degradation products.

Abstract
A novel capillary electrophoresis - capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4D) method for the separation of 12 antibiotics, including four types of aminoglycosides, three types of fluoroquinolones, two types of tetracyclines, and three types of macrolides, was developed. Half of these antibiotics were not determined by ultraviolet (UV) because of their lack of UV-absorbing groups. Formic acid (FA) (pH 2.50) with low conductivity was employed as the background electrolyte (BGE) in comparison with three BGE systems (i.e., HAc, HCl and H3PO4), which not only allowed complete protonation and electrophoresis separation but provided more cost-effectiveness and shorter analysis time. Under these conditions, a UV detector was employed as an additional detection mode to evaluate the qualitative analysis of 6 antibiotics possessing UV absorbing groups. Moreover, it was found that the sensitivities of the C4D and UV detectors were similar. Albeit a slightly reduced sensitivity of C4D in the analysis of norfloxacin, enrofloxacin and tylosin compared to UV, enough points were achieved to detect all analytes by C4D. The repeatability with respect to peak areas and migration times was better than 4.69% and 2.48% (n = 5), respectively. Mixed liquid pharmaceutical formulations of tobramycin eye drops having non-UV absorbing groups and ofloxacin eye drops possessing UV absorbing groups have been separated and detected in a single run by this technique. The studied recoveries of the two were 100% and 103%, respectively.

Abstract
Veterinary medicinal products (VMPs) are used for the prevention and treatment of diseases in animals. The safety and efficacy of these products must be proven by quality control tests. Special attention should be paid to veterinary antimicrobials medicines (VAMs), as changes in their potency can compromise pharmacotherapeutic treatment and contribute to microbial resistance. The aim of this work was to review the analytical methods available for assessing the quality of VAMs, to analyze regulatory issues and quality control programs. The review was performed on selected papers in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Virtual Health Library databases, between 2005 and 2020. After applying exclusion criteria, 19 studies were obtained. Of the analytical studies, the majority (61.54%) used the HPLC technique. In addition, methods by CE (15.39%) and by SPM, FIA and microbiological assay (7.69% each) were found. In studies of monitoring of VAMs available on the market, changes in tylosin, spiramycin, ampicillin, tetracyclines and penicillins were observed. This is worrying, as these quality deviations can contribute to the development of resistant microorganisms. Although international efforts have been implemented at the regulatory level to ensure the quality of VAMs, it was realized with this study that there is much to evolve in the development of new analytical methods and in monitoring the quality of VAMs. With this, it is expected that this study will instigate scientists in the analytical, regulatory, microbiological and veterinary fields to develop new research so that the demands necessary to guarantee the quality of VAMs are increasingly met.

Abstract
A gradient elution high-performance liquid chromatographic method with a diode array detector is introduced for the first time for the simultaneous estimation of three drugs, namely, oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OXT), lidocaine (LDC), and bromhexine hydrochloride (BRH), in a veterinary formulation (OxyClear® solution) that contains many interfering additives. The method used a C-8 column. The chromatographic eluting solution included acidified water (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in water) and acetonitrile at a 1-ml/min flow rate and 254 nm as a nominated detection wavelength. The chromatographic process was assessed in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, LOD, and LOQ. OXT, LDC, and BRH were linear in the range of 1-60, 5-100, and 1-60 μg/ml, respectively. The three drugs were determined successfully without the interference of three excipients having UV absorbances. Furthermore, the purities of the peaks of the three drugs were confirmed by comparing the UV spectra of investigated peaks to the UV reference spectra in Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons. The greenness value of the method was 0.69 with a faint green-colored pictogram using the AGREE tool. These merits recommend the application of the planned method in QC laboratories for purity testing and concentration assays for the pure drugs and commercial formulations.

Abstract
Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin whose deficiency causes many disorders and diseases, including pellagra and high blood cholesterol. Herein, niacin and four common impurities, isonicotinic acid (ISO), 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine (MP), pyridine-2, 5-dicarboxylic acid (PDC) and pyridine PYR, are simultaneously analyzed, where PYR is known as potentially nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic. The separation of a mixture using gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) without any derivatization steps was the main target. Many studies have been published to study Niacin and its impurities using colorimetry and HPLC. GC–MS was selected to study the analyzed mixture owing to its known sensitivity and selectivity. In this study, a single quadrupole mass spectrometer operated in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode at an electron ionization energy of 70 eV was applied for the quantitative analysis of Niacin. Helium was used as the carrier gas and adjusted to run through an HP-5ms (5%-phenyl)-methylpolysiloxane column. Statistical analysis proved that this method is equally effective as the previously reported method. Importantly, this study was eco-friendly as compared to the reported high performance thin layer chromatographic method (HPTLC). Finally, this study provides a new and valid eco-friendly method analysis to determine the concentration of niacin and its common impurities at very low concentration. Conclusion: A simple, rapid accurate and green GC–MS analytical method was developed and validated to determine niacin and its related official impurities.
