Determination of diclofenac sodium and related compounds in raw materials and formulations.

A liquid chromatographic method has been developed for determination of drug and related compounds in diclofenac sodium raw material, slow-release, and enteric coated tablets. The method specifies a 5 microns octadecylsilane bonded phase column, a mobile phase of tetrahydrofuran-acetonitrile-buffer, pH 5 (1 + 4 + 8.3), and detection at 229 nm. The method resolves 10 known related compounds with limits of quantitation of 0.2% or less. Seventeen drug raw material samples were evaluated. Total impurity levels ranged from 0.1 to 0.9%. The method has also been used for determination of drug content in raw materials and formulations. Mean assay levels in drug raw materials ranged between 98.3% and 101.8%.

Liquid chromatographic methods for vitamins A and D in multivitamin-mineral formulations.

Liquid chromatographic screening procedures have been developed for the estimation of vitamins A and D in multivitamin-mineral tablet, capsule, gelatin capsule, and syrup formulations. The procedure can be used for measuring vitamin A present as either retinyl acetate or retinyl palmitate, and also for measuring the contribution to total vitamin A activity from 13-cis retinyl esters. The retinyl esters and their isomers are resolved from each other and their oxidation products. Ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol are not resolved from each other but they are resolved from other vitamin D isomers and from vitamins A, E, and K and their degradation products. Both assays use a 3 microns amino column, with a mobile phase of hexane for vitamin A and 1% isopropanol in hexane for vitamin D. The precision of replicate injections for vitamins A and D is better than 1% and the recovery from spiked syrups is better than 98%. The coefficient of variation for both assay methods is about 5%. Twenty formulations were analyzed for vitamin A and 24 were analyzed for vitamin D.

Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid↗

Liquid chromatographic method for identity, assay, and content uniformity of five tricyclic drugs.

A liquid chromatographic (LC) procedure has been developed for the assay, content uniformity, and identification of single active ingredient solid and liquid formulations of amitriptyline, chlorpromazine, imipramine, thioridazine, and trifluoperazine. The drugs are extracted from their formulations with methanol or dilute hydrochloric acid, and identified by comparison of retention times with those of known standards; drugs are quantitated against these standards with dl-norephedrine hydrochloride as the internal standard. The precision of replicate injections is better than 2.5% for peak area and better than 1% for peak height. The precision of triplicate determinations of tablet composites is better than 2.2%.

Antidepressive Agents, Tricyclic↗

Liquid chromatographic method for perphenazine and its sulfoxide in pharmaceutical dosage forms for determination of stability.

A liquid chromatographic method is described for determination of perphenazine and perphenazine sulfoxide in representative dosage forms. Sulfoxide levels were nondetectable or less than 1% in tablets and in an injectable product. Sulfoxide levels increase with time in some syrup formulations and may be as high as 11% in syrup formulations before their expiration date.

Liquid chromatographic determination of identity, content, and content uniformity of desipramine, fluphenazine, and promazine.

A liquid chromatographic procedure has been developed for the assay, content uniformity, and identification of single active ingredient formulations of desipramine, fluphenazine, and promazine. The drugs are extracted from formulations with methanol or dilute hydrochloric acid and quantitated against an internal standard (norephedrine). The drugs are identified by comparison of retention times with those of the reference standards.
