Comparison of the performance of butanol and pentanol as modifiers in the micellar chromatographic determination of some phenethylamines
Abstract A procedure was developed for the determination of several phenethylamines (amphetamine, arterenol, ephedrine, phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine, mephentermine, methoxyphenamine, pseudoephedrine and tyramine), using micellar mobile phases of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a C18 column and UV detection. The drugs were eluted at short retention times with conventional acetonitrile–water or methanol–water mobile phases. In contrast, in the micellar system, they were strongly retained due to association with the surfactant adsorbed on the stationary phase, and needed the addition of butanol or pentanol to be eluted from the column. These modifiers allowed a simple way of controlling th…
Determination of active ingredients in cough-cold preparations by micellar liquid chromatography.
The chromatographic behaviour of some active ingredients in cough-cold pharmaceutical preparations, the antihistamine chlorpheniramine (or the dextro enantiomer dexchlorpheniramine), and the phenethylamines phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine and pseudoephedrine, has been studied using a C(18) column, micellar mobile phases of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and pentanol, and with UV detection. All possible combinations of chlorpheniramine/phenethylamine were resolved and determined using a mobile phase of 0.15 M SDS-6% (v/v) pentanol at pH 7, with analysis time below 7 min. Repeatabilities and within laboratory precisions were evaluated at four different drug concentrations in the range 0.5-2…
MICELLAR LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF ANTI-CONVULSANT DRUGS IN PILLS AND CAPSULES
A simple chromatographic procedure is reported for the determination of several anti-convulsant drugs in pharmaceuticals: carbamazepine, and the benzodiazepines bentazepam, halazepam, oxazepam, pinazepam, and tetrazepam. The procedure utilizes a C18 column, a hybrid micellar mobile phase of 0.1 M SDS-3% butanol-0.1% triethylamine-0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 3), and UV detection (230 nm). The drugs eluted in less than 13 min, in accordance to their relative polarities, as indicated by their octanol-water partition coefficients. The limits of detection (μg/mL), and intra and inter-day repeatabilities (%), for 4 μg/mL were: carbamazepine (0.03, 1.0, 4.1), bentazepam (0.05, 1.3, 1.6), halazepam…
Use of micellar mobile phases for the chromatographic determination of clorazepate, diazepam, and diltiazem in pharmaceuticals
An ODS-2 column, a micellar mobile phase of high elution strength containing 0.1M sodium dodecyl sulfate and 3% (v/v) butanol, and ultraviolet detection at 230 nm are used for the determination of either of two benzodiazepines (clorazepate and diazepam) and a benzothiazepine (diltiazem) in pharmaceuticals. The procedure is shown to be competitive against conventional chromatography with methanol-water mobile phases, especially for diltiazem. The composition of the micellar mobile phase is selected using a predictive strategy based on an accurate retention model and assisted by computer simulation. Calibration graphs are linear at least in the 2.5 to 20 microg/mL, 4 to 20 microg/mL, and 5 to…
Quantitation of antihistamines in pharmaceutical preparations by liquid chromatography with a micellar mobile phase of sodium dodecyl sulfate and pentanol
Abstract A reversed-phase liquid chromatographic procedure with a micellar mobile phase of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), containing a small amount of pentanol, was developed for the control of 7 antihistamines of diverse action in pharmaceutical preparations (tablets, capsules, powders, solutions, and syrups): azatadine, carbinoxamine, cyclizine, cyproheptadine, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, and tripelennamine. The retention times of the drugs were <9 min with a mobile phase of 0.15M SDS–6% (v/v) pentanol. The recoveries with respect to the declared compositions were in the range of 93–110%, and the intra- and interday repeatabilities and interday reproducibility were <1.2%. Th…
Correlation between hydrophobicity and retention data of several antihistamines in reversed-phase liquid chromatography with aqueous-organic and micellar-organic mobile phases
Abstract The correlation between the retention of 12 antihistamines (carbinoxamine, chlorpheniramine, cyclizine, cyproheptadine, dexbrompheniramine, dexchlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, pheniramine, phenyltoloxamine, pyrilamine and tripelennamine), in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) with aqueous-organic (methanol-water) and micellar-organic (sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-pentanol) mobile phases of varying composition, and their octanol-water partition coefficients expressed as log P o/w (ranging between 2.02 for pheniramine and 4.92 for cyproheptadine), was examined. For this study, the retention of the drugs was measured in six mobile phases of methanol-water, and…
Chromatographic analysis of phenethylamine-antihistamine combinations using C8, C18 or cyano columns and micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate-pentanol mixtures.
The chromatographic behaviour of binary and ternary mixtures of several phenethylamines (phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and methoxyphenamine) and antihistamines (pheniramine, carbinoxamine, doxylamine, chlorpheniramine, dexchlorpheniramine, dexbrompheniramine, diphenhydramine, tripolidine, azatadine and phenyltoloxamine), found in cough-cold pharmaceutical preparations, was studied using C8, C18 and cyano columns, micellar mobile phases of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and pentanol and UV detection. Using a C8 column and mobile phases of 0.05 mol l-1 SDS-6% v/v pentanol or 0.15 mol l-1 SDS-2% v/v pentanol at pH 7, more than 30 different phenethylamine-antihist…
