We describe a column-chromatographic method for separating the mitochondrial and cytoplasmic isoenzymes of aspartate aminotransferase in human serum. Bed height of the ion exchanger, pH, and salt concentrations in the eluting buffers are shown to be variables affecting the separation of the isoenzymes. Under the optimized conditions selected for this study, a 30% increase in volume was observed...

A simple, selective, accurate high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for an analysis of Halobetasol Propionate and p-Chlorocresol in pharmaceutical formulations. Chromatographic separation achieved by gradient programme on a C18 column (Waters Novapak C-18, 250 x 4.6mm, 4μm column) utilizing a mobile phases of A (pH 2.5 phosphate buffer) and B (mixture of buf...

A simple and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for determination in human plasma of isepamicin (ISP), an aminoglycoside antibiotic agent. After protein precipitation and clean-up procedure to remove lipophilic contaminants, ISP is derivatized pre-column with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-carbamate for fluorescence detection. Chromatographic separati...

A GC/FID methodology for determination of twenty-one free amino acids in quince fruit (pulp and peel) and jam is described. The sample preparation was simple, involving a SCX Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) purification step and a fast derivatization with ethyl chloroformate for gas chromatographic analysis. The chromatographic separation was achieved using a CP-Sil 19 CB wcot fused-silica capilla...

Isolation of catecholamines on prepacked gravity-fed ion-exchange columns in conjunction with liquid-chromatographic separation is occasionally subject to disturbances of unknown origin, especially after injection of H3BO3 eluates from the ion-exchange columns onto the chromatography column. Peak spreading, sometimes even peak splitting, has been observed in many laboratories--effects easily co...

A simple high-performance liquid chromatographic method with ultraviolet detection is proposed for the estimation of diclofenac potassium and drotaverine hydrochloride in human plasma. Liquid-liquid extraction was carried out with a mixture of dichloromethane-isopropyl alcohol (80:20, v/v). Chromatographic separation of the analytes and internal standard was achieved on an analytical 250 × 4.6 ...

A gas-liquid chromatographic method developed for the determination of putrescine and cadaverine in fishery products was modified for application to the determination of diamines in shrimp. Addition of potassium chloride and hydrochloric acid to the methanol-water extraction solvent resulted in increased recovery of the diamines and minimized gel formation. The recovery of putrescine increased ...

A gas-chromatographic procedure for acetaminophen is described in which the drug is chromatographed as the O-heptyl-N-methyl derivative. This derivative is prepared by a sequential alkylation procedure in which the phenolic hydroxyl group of the parent compound is alkylated off-column with heptyl iodide and the amide group is derivatized on-column by reaction with trimethylanilinium hydroxide. ...

In this work, a validated stability-indicating ultra-high performance liquid chromatographic (UPLC) method has been developed for quantitative determination of related substances in Risperdal Consta. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Waters BEH C18 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) in an isocratic elution mode. The limit of quantification is 0.1 μg/mL, and the method is linear over t...

We describe a "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic procedure for measuring 3-methoxy-4-hydroxymandelic acid (vanillylmandelic acid) in urine. The compound is quantitatively extracted from urine by use of an automated system, including an anion-exchange resin. After elution from the resin and concentration by air drying, the urine extract is chromatographed on an octyl silica column, with u...
