Abstract
Introduction: Posaconazole is a widely used antifungal drug, and its accurate quantification is essential for quality control and assessment of its pharmaceutical products. This study aimed to develop and validate a reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analytical method for quantifying Posaconazole in bulk and dosage form. Methods: The HPLC method was developed and validated based on International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines. The developed method was then applied to quantify Posaconazole in a marketed tablet formulation. The method's specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, and stability were evaluated. Results: The developed HPLC method showed good linearity over a 2-20 μg/mL concentration range. The percentage recovery of Posaconazole from the bulk and marketed formulations was found to be 99.01% and 99.05%, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precisions were less than 1%, and the method was stable under different conditions. The HPLC method was successfully applied to quantify Posaconazole in the marketed formulation. Conclusion: The developed and validated HPLC method is reliable and efficient for analyzing Posaconazole in bulk and dosage forms. The method's accuracy, precision, specificity, linearity, robustness, and stability demonstrate its effectiveness. The method can be used for the quality control and assessment of Posaconazole-containing pharmaceutical products.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical analysis plays an important role in all steps of drug development processes.
Analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredients in biological samples needs sample preparation techniques
to prevent the signal of the analyte from interferences coming from matrix components. Ultrafiltration
is a well-known technique used in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Commercial ultrafiltration
devices have been frequently used on proteomics and metabolomics studies for sample preparation.
In pharmaceutical analysis, these devices have been employed to analyze the free concentration of
drugs in biological fluids after filtration. However, they have been rarely used to determine the total
concentration of targeted compounds when it is compared with some other common sample preparation
techniques. Ultrafiltration-based sample preparation might be used to clean-up the sample easily
from matrix components especially on bioanalysis performed with high-performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC). In the case of using protein precipitation agents on filtration procedure, the quantitative
recovery of this non-selective unique technique is competitive with solid-phase extraction.

Application of HPTLC, spectrofluorimetry and differential pulse voltammetry for determination of the antifungal drug posaconazole in suspension dosage form. ANNALES PHARMACEUTIQUES FRANÇAISES 2019; 77:382-393. [PMID: 31138437 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharma.2019.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2018] [Revised: 04/11/2019] [Accepted: 04/23/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
This work presents the development, validation and application of three simple and direct analytical methods for determination of posaconazole (PSZ) in its pure form and in suspension dosage form. Method I is based on high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) where effective separation of PSZ and the internal standard (itraconazole) was achieved using Merck HPTLC plates (20×10cm aluminium plates with 250μm layer thickness precoated with silicagel 60 F254) and a mobile phase composed of acetone and chloroform (1:2, by volume), followed by densitometric measurement of the drugs' spots at 262nm. Method II involves measurement of the native fluorescence of PSZ in 0.1M H2SO4 at excitation and emission wavelengths of 260 and 365nm, respectively. Method III depends on the voltammetric analysis of PSZ. A well-defined cathodic wave was obtained for PSZ in Britton-Robinson buffer pH 6.5 using the differential-pulse mode at the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). The developed methods were validated according to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines regarding linearity, ranges, accuracy, precision, robustness and limits of detection and quantification. The proposed methods showed good linearity over the concentration ranges 5-50, 0.05-0.3, 0.005-0.05μg/mL PSZ for methods I, II, and III respectively. Intra and inter-day precision were verified by the RSD% values which were less than 2%. The proposed methods were successfully applied for the quantification of PSZ in suspension dosage form with no observable interferences. Assay methods were favorably compared with those obtained by previously reported HPLC method.

Abstract
Objective To develop an analytical method to simultaneous quantification of benznidazole (BNZ) and posaconazole (POS) by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) using design of experiments. Methods Percentages of organic phase, buffer pH and flow rates of mobile phase were selected as independent variables by full factorial design (33), totaling 27 experiments. Significant factors were evaluated using factorial analysis of variance with 95% confidence level. Method optimization was performed using desirability profiles, considering BNZ/POS chromatographic resolution and peak areas. Further, the method was evaluated regarding its suitability and properly validated according to the international compendiums using the parameters: specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection and limit of quantification. Results The optimized method was achieved using Discovery® C8 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm; 5 μm particle size), methanol/acetate buffer (pH 3.5)(71:29) and detection at 260 nm. Retention times were 3.6 and 7.6 min for BNZ and POS, respectively, with good suitability of system and it was specific and linear (r2 >0.99) for both drugs, proving the efficiency of the method even in the presence of degradation products of POS. Conclusion This new method is a great alternative to perform reliable, faster and cheaper analysis since the simultaneous quantification of the association BZN/POS is not reported yet in the literature.

Abstract
The occurrence and estrogenic activities of steroid estrogens, such as the natural estrone (E1), 17β estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3), as well as the synthetic 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2), were investigated in eight sampling points along the Langat River (Malaysia). Surface water samples were collected at 0.5 m and surface sediment 0-5 cm from the river surface. Instrument analysis of steroid estrogens was determined by UPLC-ESI-MS with an ultra-performance liquid chromatograph (Perkin Elmer FX15) coupled to a Q Trap function mass spectrophotometer (model 3200: AB Sciex). Steroid estrogen concentrations were higher in the Langat River sediments than those in its surface water. In surface water, E1 was not detected in any sampling point, E2 was only detected in two midstream sampling points (range 0-0.004 ng/L), E3 in three sampling points (range 0-0.002 ng/L), and EE2 in four sampling points (range 0-0.02 ng/L). E1 and E2 were detected in sediments from all sampling points, E3 in five sampling points, while EE2 only in one midstream sample (3.29E-4 ng/g). Sewage treatment plants, farming waste, and agricultural activities particularly present midstream and downstream were identified as potential sources of estrogens. Estrogenic activity expressed as estradiol equivalents (EEQs) was below 1 ng/L in all samples for both surface water and sediment, indicating therefore a low potential estrogenic risk to the aquatic environment. Although the health risks are still uncertain for drinking water consumers exposed to low levels of steroid estrogen concentrations, Langat River water is unacceptable for direct drinking purposes without treatment. Further studies of endocrine disruptors in Malaysian waters are highly recommended.

Abstract
Purpose. Developing a validated HPLC-DAD method for simultaneous determination of posaconazole (PSZ) and vincristine (VCR) in rat plasma. Methods. PSZ, VCR, and itraconazole (ITZ) were extracted from 200 μL plasma using diethyl ether in the presence of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution. The organic layer was evaporated in vacuo and dried residue was reconstituted and injected through HC-C18 (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) column. In the mobile phase, acetonitrile and 0.015 M potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (30 : 70 to 80 : 20, linear gradient over 7 minutes) pumped at 1.5 mL/min. VCR and PSZ were measured at 220 and 262 nm, respectively. Two Sprague Dawley rats were orally dosed PSZ followed by iv dosing of VCR and serial blood sampling was performed. Results. VCR, PSZ, and ITZ were successfully separated within 11 min. Calibration curves were linear over the range of 50–5000 ng/mL for both drugs. The CV% and % error of the mean were ≤18% and limit of quantitation was 50 ng/mL for both drugs. Rat plasma concentrations of PSZ and VCR were simultaneously measured up to 72 h and their calculated pharmacokinetics parameters were comparable to the literature. Conclusion. The assay was validated as per ICH guidelines and is appropriate for pharmacokinetics drug-drug interaction studies.
