Abstract

A reference method that specifically measures hemoglobin (Hb) A1c is an essential part of the reference system for the international standardization of Hb A1c/glycohemoglobin. We have developed a new method for quantification, based on the specific N-terminal residue of the hemoglobin beta-chains. Enzymatic cleavage of the intact hemoglobin molecule with endoproteinase Glu-C has been optimized to obtain the beta-N-terminal hexapeptides of Hb A1c and Hb A0. These peptides have been separated by reversed-phase HPLC and quantitated by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (method A) or by capillary electrophoresis (method B). With these peptides and hyphenated separation techniques, it has been possible to overcome the insufficient resolution of currently used protein separation systems for Hb A1c.

A new HPLC method to determine Donepezil hydrochloride in tablets.

A HPLC stability-indicating assay for Donepezil hydrochloride in tablets was developed and validated. Donepezil hydrochloride is a reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type. The HPLC method was performed with a reversed phase C18 column, detection at 268 nm and a mixture of methanol, phosphate buffer 0.02 M and triethylamine (50:50:0.5) as mobile phase. Typical retention time for Donepezil was 9 min. The method was statistically validated for linearity, accuracy, precision and selectivity following ICH recommendations. Due to its simplicity and accuracy, the method can be used for routine quality control analysis.

Enantioseparation of chiral vasodilator drug isoxsuprine in high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis.

Two independent methods using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on polysaccharide type chiral stationary phase (CSP) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) with native and derivatised cyclodextrins (CD) have been proposed for the enantioseparation of chiral vasodilator drug isoxsuprine (ISP). The methods have been compared from the viewpoint of separation characteristics (efficiency, sensitivity, analysis time, costs, etc.).

A simplified and efficient route to 2'-O, 4'-C-methylene-linked bicyclic ribonucleosides (locked nucleic acid).

A novel efficient method for the synthesis of locked nucleic acid (LNA) monomers is described. The LNA 5',3'-diols containing thymine, 4-N-acetyl- and 4-N-benzoylcytosine, 6-N-benzoyladenine, and 2-N-isobutyrylguanine as nucleobases were prepared via convergent syntheses. The method is based on the use of the common sugar intermediate 1,2-di-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-4-C-methanesulfonoxymethyl-5-O-methanesulfonyl-D-erythro-pentofuranose (8) that easily can be prepared from D-glucose in multigram scale. Four different nucleobases were stereoselectively coupled to 8 using a modified Vorbrüggen procedure to give the corresponding 4'-C-branched nucleoside derivatives. Subsequent ring closing furnished the protected LNA nucleosides. The 5'-O-mesyl groups were efficiently displaced by nucleophilic substitution using sodium benzoate. Saponification of the 5'-benzoates followed by catalytic removal of the 3'-O-benzyl groups afforded the free LNA diols. The exocyclic amino groups of adenosine and cytidine were selectively acylated to give 4-N-acetyl- or 4-N-benzoyl-LNA-C and 6-N-benzoyl-LNA-A. The isobutyryl group of guanine was retained during the preparation of 2-N-isobutyryl-LNA-G. The LNA-T diol and base-protected LNA diols can be directly converted into LNA-phosphoramidites for automated chemical synthesis of LNA containing oligonucleotides.
