Study Advances in the Analytical Methods for Teicoplanin / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Teicoplanin is a kind of glycopeptide antibiotic extracted from actinomycetes after fermentation, which is mainly used for the treatment of multidrug-resistant gram-positive cocci infection. The domestic and overseas research literatures on the advances in the analytical methods for teicoplanin were consulted, reviewed and analyzed. The determination methods of teicoplanin mainly includ-ed in vivo and in vitro pharmaceutical analysis. The analytical methods involved high-performance liquid chromatography analysis, bio-assay determination, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography, and a-mong them, HPLC technology was most commonly utilized in the determination of teicoplanin in biological samples and teicoplanin preparations. Much progress has been made in the analytical methods for teicoplanin, and further exploration of determination methods in vivo and in vitro will be beneficial to the quality control of the drug and guiding clinical rational administration.
