Analysis of tricyclic antidepressants in pharmaceuticals by microemulsion liquid chromatography
2021
Abstract Basic compounds yield long retention times and broad and asymmetric peaks in reversed-phase liquid chromatography, due to interaction with residual silanols in the columns. The addition of the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate in the so called micellar liquid chromatography enhances the efficiency, but long retention is achieved, due to electrostatic interaction between the cationic species of basic compounds and the anionic sulphate group of the surfactant. This forces the addition of a strong organic solvent to get appropriate times. An alternative is the use of a microemulsion (ME), formed by mixing surfactant, oil and an alcohol as co-surfactant. Association of hydrophobic com…
Performance and modelling of retention in microemulsion liquid chromatography
2020
Abstract The capability of liquid chromatography with microemulsions (MEs) as mobile phases was studied for the analysis of four parabens (butylparaben, ethylparaben, methylparaben, and propylparaben) and seven β-adrenoceptor antagonists (acebutolol, atenolol, carteolol, metoprolol, oxprenolol, propranolol, and timolol). MEs were formed by mixing aqueous solutions of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate, the alcohol 1-butanol that played the role of co-surfactant, and octane as oil. In order to guarantee the formation of stable MEs, a preliminary study was carried out to determine the appropriate ranges of concentrations of the three components. For this purpose, mixtures of varia…
Modulation of retention and selectivity in oil-in-water microemulsion liquid chromatography: A review
2019
Microemulsions (MEs) are stable, isotropically clear solutions consisting of an oil and water stabilized by a surfactant and a co-surfactant. Oil-in-water microemuslion liquid chromatography (MELC) is a relatively new chromatographic mode, which uses an O/W ME as mobile phase. Retention, selectivity and efficiency can be modified by changing the concentration of the ME components and the ratio between the aqueous and oil phases. This work makes a critical survey on the information found in the literature about the mobile phase compositions that lead to the creation of successful O/W ME mobile phases, as well as the effect of pH for ionizable compounds and temperature. The viability of perfo…
