Quantitative determination of gemifloxacin mesylate in tablets by capillary zone electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatography
The aim of this study was to develop and validate selective and sensitive methods for quantitative determination of an antibacterial agent, gemifloxacin, in tablets by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). The HPLC method was carried out on a LiChrospher® 100 RP-8e, 5 μm (125 x 4 mm) column with a mobile phase composed of tetrahydrofuranwater (25:75, v/v) with 0.5 % of triethylamine and pH adjusted to 3.0 with orthophosphoric acid. The CZE method was performed using 50 mM sodium tetraborate buffer (pH 8.6). Samples were injected hydrodynamicaly (0.5 psi, 5 s) and the electrophoretic system was operated under normal polarity, at +20 kV and capillary temperature of 18 ºC. A fused-silica capillary 40.2 cm (30 cm effective length) x 75 μm i.d. was used. Both, HPLC and CZE could be interesting and efficient techniques to be applied for quality control in pharmaceutical industries.Colegio de Farmacéuticos de la Provincia de Buenos Aire
High throughput simultaneous assay of atenolol and chlortalidone in combined dose tablets by liquid chromatography and capillary zone electrophoresis
New fast liquid chromatographic and capillary zone electrophoresis methods were developed and validated for simultaneous determination of atenolol and chlortalidone in combined dose tablets. The reversed phase HPLC method was carried out on a CN LiChrosorb® (125 x 4 mm, 5 μm) column. The CZE method was carried out on an uncoated fused-silica capillary of 30 cm x 75 μm i.d. with 25 mmol L-1 sodium tetraborate, pH 9.4. The total analysis time was <6 and <2.5 min for HPLC and CZE methods, respectively. Both methods can be used for stability studies as well.Colegio de Farmacéuticos de la Provincia de Buenos Aire
