Application progress of high performance liquid chromatography in detection of hemagglutinin content in influenza vaccine / 中国生物制品学杂志

@#At present,the most commonly used method for detecting hemagglutinin(HA)content in influenza vaccines is still single-radial immunodiffusion(SRID). However,the preparation of standards required by this method takes a long time,usually 2 ～ 3 months. Therefore,how to quantitatively analyze HA accurately has always been a difficult problem in the detection of HA content in the situation that reference products can not be obtained at the early stage of the pandemic influenza. High performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)has its own characteristics of rapidity,high sensitivity,good repeatability and high accuracy,which can rapidly determine HA content by using different separation principles and has been widely used in the detection of HA content in influenza vaccine. This paper reviewed the research progress of the application of HPLC in the determination of HA content in influenza vaccine.

The optimization of PpSP15 purification from salivary glands in Iranian wild Phlebotomus papatasi (Diptera Psychodidae)

Background & objectives: Sand fly saliva contains proteins that modulate the host immune system and it plays an important role in both blood feeding and the outcome of Leishmania infections. The profile of the salivary proteins was examined and analyzed from an endemic focus of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis by wild P. papatasi to find local and suitable antigens as potential proteins for developing Leishmania vaccine alongside the development of a new extraction technique. Methods: Specimens were caught from Bojnord, using funnel and CDC traps. Different methods of protein extraction were employed and a new technique was developed. The proteins were extracted from the salivary glands tissues with a lysis buffer. Purification was performed using RP-HPLC, with a linear gradient protocol from 0-60 % of acetonitrile. PpSP15 was characterized by SDS-PAGE. Results: The concentration of extracted protein content was 0.5 and 0.03 ?g/?l in chemical and physical methods, respectively. PpSP15 was isolated at a weight of 15kDa in 80–85 min of run time. SDS-PAGE was able to characterize PpSP15. The crude extract of the chemical method, revealed 15 separated bands, ranging from 11–100 KDa. Tajima D index was positive. Interpretation & conclusion: PpSP15 was characterized from Iranian specimens; it is a very highly hydrophobic protein of salivary glands among SP15- like proteins. The chemical method of extraction was found to be more effective than physical methods (P < 0.05). For developing a vaccine against leishmaniasis, depending on the location, choosing suitable proteins should be considered and an efficient extraction method should be used.

Optimization of HPLC method using central composite design for estimation of Torsemide and Eplerenone in tablet dosage form

Abstract A simple, precise, accurate and robust high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for simultaneous estimation of Torsemide and Eplerenone in tablet dosage form. Design of experiment was applied for multivariate optimization of the experimental conditions of RP-HPLC method. A Central composite design was used to study the response surface methodology and to analyse in detail the effects of these independent factors on responses. Total eleven experiments along with 3 center points were performed. Two factors were selected to design the matrix, one factor is variation in ratio of Acetonitrile and the second factor is flow rate (mL/min). Optimization in chromatographic conditions was achieved by applying Central composite design. The optimized and predicted data from contour diagram comprised mobile phase (acetonitrile, water and methanol in the ratio of 50: 30: 20 v/v/v respectively), at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and at ambient column temperature. Using these optimum conditions baseline separation of both drugs with good resolution and run time of less than 5 minutes were achieved. The optimized assay conditions were validated as per the ICH guidelines (2005). Hence, the results showed that the Quality by design approach could successfully optimize RP-HPLC method for simultaneous estimation of Torsemide and Eplerenone.

ABSTRACT Snake venoms comprise a highly complex mixture of proteins, and there is also a high interspecific and intraspecific variability in their composition, even in the same region. Our aim was to compare the composition of the venoms of Bothrocophias myersi, Crotalus durissus, and Bothrops asper, snakes from the Colombian Andean region by Reverse-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC). The venoms were given to the research group under an agreement with Fundación Zoológica de Cali. The venoms pool was obtained by manual extraction, lyophilized and frozen. The venom protein was quantified by direct measurement with Nanodrop® 280 nm. The protein composition was established by RP-HPLC, using a Lichosper 100 RP, C18 column (250X4 mm) with a pore size of 5-m, as well as by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The highest quantity of protein was found in the venom of B. myersi (108.6 mg/ mL) followed by C. durissus (78.1 mg/mL) and B. asper (74.1 mg/mL). All venoms showed bands of 15 and 50 KDa by using SDS-PAGE. B. myersi venom chromatogram exhibited 16 peaks by RP-HPLC. We conclude that the composition of the three venoms is quite similar, being phospholipase A2 the common protein therein, and together with metalloproteinases they were the most abundant protein families in the venom of B. myersi. SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC techniques allow a first approach to the profile of the venoms, which in turn could clarify the clinical syndrome produced.

Los venenos fueron entregados al grupo de investigación mediante un convenio con la Fundación Zoológica de Cali. El pool de venenos fue obtenido por extracción manual, liofilizado y congelado. La proteína de los venenos fue cuantificada por Absorbancia 280nm por medición directa con Nanodrop®. La composición proteica se estableció por RP-HPLC, utilizando una columna Lichosper 100 RP, C18 (250X4 mm) con un tamaño de poro de 5-jm, así como por electroforesis en gel dodecil sulfato de sodio-poliacrilamida (SDS-PAGE). La mayor cantidad de proteínas se encontró en el veneno de B. myersi (108.6 mg/mL), seguido de C. durissus (78.1 mg/mL) y B. asper (74.1 mg/mL). Todos los venenos mostraron bandas de 15 y 50 KDa por SDS-PAGE. El cromatograma de B. myersi exhibió 16 picos por RP-HPLC. Concluimos que la composición de los tres venenos es bastante similar, siendo la fosfolipasa A2 la proteína común en estos y junto con las metaloproteinasas fueron las familias de proteínas más abundantes en el veneno de B. myersi. Las técnicas de SDS-PAGE y el RP-HPLC permiten un primer acercamiento al perfil de los venenos, lo que a su vez podría contribuir a esclarecer el síndrome clínico producido.

Development and validation of RP-HPLC method for simultaneous determination of lamivudine, stavudine, and zidovudine in perfusate samples: Application to the Single-Pass Intestinal Perfusion (SPIP) studies

A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with ultraviolet detection was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of antiretroviral drugs lamivudine (3TC), stavudine (d4T), and zidovudine (AZT) in perfusate samples obtained from the Single-Pass Intestinal Perfusion studies. The chromatographic analysis was performed using a Gemini C18 column and didanosine as internal standard (IS). The following parameters were considered for the validation procedure: system suitability, accuracy, precision, linearity and selectivity. The limits of detection were 0.32 µg/mL for 3TC, 0.11 µg/mL for d4T and 0.45 µg/mL for AZT and the limits of quantification were 1.06 µg/mL for 3TC, 0.38 µg/mL for d4T and 1.51 µg/mL for AZT. Repeatability and intermediate precision ranged from 1.05 to 1.31 and 1.50 to 1.87, respectively, and are expressed as percent of relative standard deviation (RSD). Based on these results, the developed and validated RP-HPLC method can be used for simultaneous determination of 3TC, d4T, and AZT in perfusate samples. Furthermore, this method is simple and adequate for measurements of the antiretroviral drugs in the same sample, since those compounds are mostly co-administered. Besides, this work can be used as an initial base for the development of similar methods in the same conditions presented in our study.

A simple, accurate, precise and robust stability indicating RP-HPLC assay method has been developed for the estimation of trimethobenzamide in stress sample. An isocratic separation of trimethobenzamide was achieved on Kromasil 100 C-18 column (250 X 4.6mm, 5µ) with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and by using a photodiode array detector to detect the analyte at 213nm. The optimized mobile phase consisted of methanol: ammonium formate (44:56, v/v). The drug was subjected to different forced degradation conditions according to ICH guidelines including acid, base, neutral hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis and thermal degradation. Degradation products were found only in basic and oxidative degradation conditions. All the degradation products got eluted in an overall analytical run time of 12min. The developed analytical method has been validated according to the ICH guidelines. Response of trimethobenzamide was linear over the concentration range of 0.5-50µg/mL (r2 = 0.999). Accuracy was found to be in between 94.03% to 100.39%. Degradation products resulting from the stress studies did not interfere with the detection of the analyte.
