System suitability tests are an integral part of liquid chromatographic technique. They are used to verify the resolution (R) and reproducibility of the analysis to be done. HPLC method for assaying the related substances test of Cefaclor in raw material as well as in pharmaceutical dosage forms introduced to some pharmacopoeia such as EP, USP need to use Delta- 3 cefaclor as the internal standard to verify the suitability of chromatographic system. In case of lacking it to use, Cephalexin can be used as the internal standard in place of Delta-3 cefaclor. cell

Amitriptylin hydrochloride is used as the internal standard in place of desipramine hydrochloride to determine the amount of imipramine hydrochloride by HPLC method. Results: Amitriptylin have the same structure as imipramin and the resolution degree between amitriptylin and imipramin is 1.8 while resolution degree between iminodibenzyl and imipramin is very high (R=10.7) because molecule structure of iminodibenzyl do not have branch-circuit. The suitability of chromatographic system through coefficient got high stable results with RSD<1.0%. Amitryptilin hydrochloride can be used as the internal standard in place of desipramine hydrochloride if necessary to test splitting degree in determination of imipramine hydrochloride

Objectives: The aim of this study is to establish a Reversed Phase – High Performance Liquid Chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for the quantification of Rhein from Cassia fistula L. leaves. Methods: A Shimadzu system equipped with a C18 Column (150 x 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with an isocratic elution of Acetonitrile (solvent A) and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution (solvent B) (Merck, 1.08178.0050) with a 55:45 ratio, respectively and a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and sample injection of 10 μL detection was done at 230 nm. Standard solution of Rhein (Chengdu Biopurify) was prepared for method development. This study was validated using the guidelines set under “ICH Topic Q2 R2 or the Validation of Analytical Procedures”. Procedures for linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation were performed. Results: The retention time of Rhein standard was determined at 5.10 minutes. LOD and LOQ were determined to be 1.278 mcg/mL and 3.872 mcg/mL, respectively with good linearity (R2 ≥0.996) with a linear range of 2.5-20 ug/mL of the Rhein standard. The accuracy of the method was determined based on % recovery method and ranged from 94.75%-100.32% (intraday, n=3) with %RSD of 0.71. The intraday precision %RSD was 2.92 (n=6) while interday precision %RSD was 3.75 (n=3). The method was able to check the Rhein quantity among 10 samples of Cassia fistula L. leaves from different locations in the Philippines. Conclusion The method was found to be sensitive and accurate for the quantification of Rhein. The method was found to be useful for the quantification of the amount of Rhein and can be used as a Quality Control tool for the assessment of Cassia fistula.

BACKGROUND: We evaluated the performance of the TOSOH glycohemoglobin analyzer HLC-723GHb V A1c 2.2TM (TOSOH Corp. Kyoto, Japan), a recently introduced automated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) analyzer using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method without sample pretreatment. METHODS: The performance characteristics evaluated were precision, linearity, comparison with VARIANTTM (Bio-Rad, Germany) and throughput following NCCLS evaluation protocols (EP5-T2, EP6-P, and EP9-T). RESULTS: The within-run and between-day CV's were 0.910 and 1.328 for low level (6.2%), 1.214 and 1.460 for middle level (8.5%), and 0.789 and 1.449 for high level (10.7%), respectively. We found the perfect linearity of HbA1c (%) from 6.5 to 10.2 (r2=0.9995). Comparison studies between A1c 2.2 and VARIANTTM yielded the following correlation equations; A1c 2.2TM = 0.9915 (VARIANTTM) + 0.1198 %HbA1c (r=0.9936, P < 0.0001). Throughput was 28.0 tests per hour for A1c 2.2TM compared with 15.2 tests for VARIANTTM, which were determined including red blood cell lysis time before sample loading for VARIANTTM. A1c 2.2TM did not need sample pretreatment. CONCLUSIONS: With the above results, A1c 2.2TM shows acceptable performance and is suitable for routine use in the clinical laboratory.

BACKGROUND: We evaluated overall performance and analysis time of newly developed HLC-723 G8 (Tosoh corp., Tokyo, Japan) HbA1c autoanalyzerwhich utilizes cation-exchange HPLC method. METHODS: Linearity, precision, correlation with Variant II Turbo (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA), analysis time, labile HbA1c (L-A1c) separation ability and stability of refrigerated sample at 4degrees C were evaluated. RESULTS: HLC-723 G8 showed good linearity between HbA1c 4.9-12.0% range (R2=0.9995). Within-run and total imprecision (CVs) were less than 1.0%. Correlation with Variant II Turbo and L-A1c separation ability were excellent. Analysis time per sample took 1.0 min. Stability of refrigerated sample at 4degrees C for at least 21 days was good. CONCLUSIONS: HLC-723 G8 showed good analytical performance and its rapid analysis time enables us to support outpatient diagnosis of diabetic patients efficiently.

A quantitative analysis of bakkenolide D in the different parts of Petasites japonicus and Farfugium japonicum was performed by HPLC. A gradient HPLC elution system with a mobile phase consisting of water:acetonitrile solution (20:80 to 0:100 for 45 min) was followed and an INNO C₁₈ column was used for the chromatographic separation. The injection volume, flow rate, and UV detection were 10 µL, 1 mL/min, and 290 nm, respectively. Results show that both species showed the highest amount of bakkenolide D in the roots being 107.203 and 166.103 mg/g for P. japonicas and F. japonicum, respectively. Content analysis on the different parts of both plants displayed remarkably lower values which ranged from 0.403 – 4.419 and 7.252 – 32.614 mg/g for P. japonicas and F. japonicum, respectively. The results show that the roots of both plants are rich in bakkenolide D showing a promising use in the development of nutraceuticals and industrial application of the compound.
