ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish a rapid, sensitive and accurate HPLC-QTOF/MS determination method for the illegally added antihypertensive drugs in traditional Chinese medicines and healthy care products .Methods:An Agilent Eclipse plus C 18 column ( 50 mm ×2.1 mm,1.8 μm) was adopted with the mobile phase of 0.5%formic acid and acetonitrile with gradient elution .The flow rate was 0.2 ml· min-1 .The electrospray ionization source was applied and operated in a positive ion mode .Results:The detection limit of 18 antihypertensive drugs was within the range of 0.2-2.5 ng· ml-1 .Reserpine was found in one sample .Conclusion:The method is selective and sensitive , which can be used for the detection of 18 chemical medicines illegally added in antihypertensive traditional Chinese medicines and health care products .
ABSTRACT
Objective:To improve the determination method for the residual solvents in olsalazine sodium. Methods:1,2-Dichlo-roethane and chloroform were determined by headspace GC with a DB-624 capillary column and an FID detector. The column tempera-ture was 110℃. The temperature of the injector and the detector was 200℃ and 250℃, respectively. The carrier gas was nitrogen with a flow of 3. 0 ml·min-1 . The split ratio was 1∶1. Water was used as the solvent. Results:1,2-Dichloroethane and chloroform were completely separated with good linearity within the respective range of 0. 25-2. 52 ( r =0. 999 5 ) and 2. 28-22. 84 μg · ml-1 ( r =0. 999 5). The average recoveries were 98. 4% and 99. 5% with RSD of 1. 14% and 0. 98%(n=9), respectively. The detection lim-it were 0. 02 and 0. 06 μg·ml-1 , respectively. Conclusion:The method is rapid, sensitive and accurate, which can be used in the determination of residual organic solvents in olsalazine sodium.
ABSTRACT
Objective High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) methods were developed for the determination of ganciclovir and its related substances. Methods A Hypersil ODS2 column (4.6mm×250mm, 5μm) was used with a mobile phase of 0.02M potassium 1.0mL/min, and UV detector set at 254nm was used for monitoring the eluents. Results The method was simple, rapid, selective and capable of separating all related substances at trace level with a detection limit of 0.04μg/mL. It has been validated with respect to accuracy, precision, linearity, and limits of detection and quantification. The linearity range was 10.2-153.0μg/mL with r=0.9998. The percentage recoveries ranged from 96.7% to 101.6%, and RSD was 1.24%-1.96% (n=5). Conclusion The method was found to be suitable not only for monitoring the reactions during the process development but also for quality control of ganciclovir. For identification of related substances, LC/MS was used. The mainly related substances of ganciclovir active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) were determined as guanine, (1, 3-dioxolan-4-yl) methyl acetate, and diacetyl guanine.
