Rapid HPLC Testing Method for Anti-Malarial Drugs / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish a rapid HPLC testing method for chloroquine phosphate,hydroxychloroquine sulfate and amodiaquine hydrochloride.Methods:The chromatographic separation was performed on a GRACE prevail C18(53 mm×7 mm,3 μm)column,and the column temperature was maintained at 30℃.Acetonitrile-0.3% triethylamine acetonitrile solution (adjusting pH to 3.0 with phosphoric acid) (12∶88) was used as the mobile phase,the flow rate was 1.0 ml· min-1 and the UV detection wavelength was 254 nm.The qualitative research was performed using relative retention time and spectral similarity as the double indicators.The relative correction factor in the quantification analysis was used for the content determination.Results:Three anti-malarial drugs showed good behavior in one chromatographic system.The rapid HPLC testing analysis could be achieved.The qualitative research was more accurate by using the double indicators (UV spectral similarity and relative capacity factor).The HPLC qualitative accuracy was increased.The relative correction factor method for the quantification could effectively reduce the use of reference substances and speed up the analysis of HPLC.Conclusion:The method is rapid and simple,and suitable for the rapid determination of drugs.
