Determination of six constituents in Qingkailing Freeze-Dried Powder for Injection by HPLC / 中成药

AIM To establish an HPLC method for the content determination of six constituents in Qingkailing Freeze-Dried Powder for Injection (cholic acid,hyodeoxycholic acid,Bubali Cornu,etc.).METHODS The content determination of adenosine,chlorogenic acid and gardenoside was performed on a 30 ℃ thermostatic XBridge C1s column (4.6 mm ×250 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile-water (containing 0.1％ formic acid) flowing at 1.0 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and the detection wavelength was set at 254 nm.The content determination of baicalin,hyodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid was performed on a 35 ℃ thermostatic XBridge C1s column (4.6 mm ×250 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of methanol-water (containing 0.1％ formic acid) flowing at 1.0 mL/min in a gradient elution manner.RESULTS Six constituents showed good linear relationships within the ranges of 2.244-56.108,2.658-66.445,4.347-108.682,122.01-1 016.75,131.94-1 099.50,152.22-1 268.50 μg/mL (r ＞ 0.999 0),whose average recoveries (RSDs) were 101.1％ (0.46％),98.0％ (1.74％),99.7％ (0.15％),100.9％ (1.31％),98.1％(0.18％),98.2％ (1.61％),respectively.CONCLUSION This stable and reproducible method can be used for the quality control of Qingkailing Freeze-Dried Powder for Injection.

Correlation between Empty Bottle Volume, Negative Pressure and Gas Production Volume of Freeze-dried Powder Commonly Used in Children / 中国药师

Objective: To study the correlation between the empty bottle volume, negative pressure and gas production of the freeze-dried powder in the out-patient pharmacy intravenous admixture center of a children' s hospital in order to provide reference for the drug production. Methods:20 ml Syringes were used to measure the volume of empty bottles, negative pressure and produced gas. The relationship between the theoretical drug dissolution volume and the actual dissolution volume was compared, and the precautions for the drug production were put forward. Results:Among the tested 30 drugs, 6 ones were with the actual dissolution volume half of the theoretical dissolution volume, 8 ones were with negative pressure in the bottles, and 3 ones were with produced gas after dissol-ving. It was appropriate that the empty bottle volume be 4 ml larger than the theoretical dissolution volume, and it was appropriate that the negative pressure volume of drugs was slightly larger than the theoretical dissolution volume. Negative pressure should be still kept in the bottles after the gas production. Conclusion:The design of part of freeze-dried powder injection needle shows defects resulting in drug mixing difficulties to a certain extent.
