Background: Sulfated Polyborate, a novel inorganic material primarily designed as a catalyst, has shown properties such as high solubility in organic solvents, low U.V. cut-off, and pKa ≈2.0, which suggests its potential as a mobile phase buffer for reverse-phase liquid chromatography. Objective: This study aims to substantiate the role of Sulfated Polyborate as mobile phase buffer for reverse-phase liquid chromatographic analysis of basic drugs with high pKa values viz. Bisoprolol fumarate, Timolol maleate, Verapamil hydrochloride, and Carvedilol. Methods: Solubilities, U.V. cut-offs, and pKa of Sulfated Polyborate was first experimentally confirmed. The behaviour of Sulfated Polyborate as mobile phase buffer at pH 3.0 was ascertained by varying the buffer concentration, flow rates, and percent organic modifier for elution of the four basic drugs on a non-end capped octyl silyl (C8) column. Similarly, the study was performed with KH2PO4 as a reference buffer. The column performance and conductometric measurements ascertained the impact of Sulfated Polyborate on the stationary phase. Results: Sulfated Polyborate and KH2PO4 buffers showed correlation coefficients of 0.99 and 1.00 for analyte retention factors for variation of buffer concentration and organic modifier composition, respectively. Peak symmetries and the number of theoretical plates were improved from > 2.0 to < 2.0 and ≈1000 to ≈3000, respectively, for Variation in buffer concentrations. Similar Van Deemter plots indicated equivalency of Sulfated Polyborate and KH2PO4 buffers. The column performance and conductometric measurements depicted no adsorption on the stationary phase. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates Sulfated Polyborate as a novel buffer for analytes with higher pKa on reverse-phase liquid chromatography.

This paper reports the isocratic resolution of 10 fluoroquinolone-based antibiotics and their precursors on the phenylethyl-bonded phase under the elution of the nonaqueous mobile phase composed of acetonitrile, methanol, acetic acid, and triethylamine. Most of the analytes were baseline resolved within 10 minutes. The interaction simulation and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) data indicated that the carbonyl-containing group, a secondary or tertiary amine of an analyte, was heavily involved in the retention, resulting in retention with residual silanol groups on the stationary phase. In some cases, the elution reversal or resolution enhancement of analytes was observed when the volume of acidic or basic additive in the mobile phase was dominant. However, the π-π complexation interaction between the fluorine-attached phenyl group of the analyte and the phenylethyl moiety on the stationary phase was not observed. Consequently, the resolution could not be reproduced either on the other stationary phase modified with C18, phenyl, or phenylhexyl moiety under the same chromatographic conditions or under the aqueous elution.

Objective: Separation of tricyclic compounds sets the keystone for determining parent drug to metabolite concentration ratios and analysing impurities. The combined effects of acetonitrile composition and pH of the mobile phase on the separation of amitriptyline and nortriptyline by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) are presented.Methods: A series of RP-HPLC triplicate runs were carried out using acetonitrile and a phosphate buffer as the mobile phase and a Kinetex® C18 LC Column as the stationary phase using an Agilent 1260 Infinity Series® II liquid chromatography system with UV/visible detection. The stationary phase, column temperature, injection volume and flow rate were kept unchanged during analysis. Mobile phase composition and pH were varied to observe impact on peak shape, resolution and retention time, taking into consideration green analytical chemistry aspects.Results: Optimal chromatographic outcomes were achieved when using the mobile phase made up of 35% acetonitrile and 65% buffer at a pH of 5.6. These conditions resulted in nortriptyline and amitriptyline eluting at 4.66 min and 5.92 min respectively. Increasing the organic modifier content of the mobile phase to 40% completed separation within a run time of 4 min with comparable resolution. The 2 min gained by increasing 5% acetonitrile may not be justified due to potential implications on greening laboratory practices.Conclusion: Reversed-phase chromatography embodies a simple method for the separation of compounds that are similar in structure. Attuning the percentage of organic modifier and buffer pH provides acceptable retention times, without compromising resolution between neighbouring peaks.

Background: The present study was focused on the development of HPLC method for purity testing of sofosbuvir by the Design of Experiments and determination of the activation energy of hydrolytic degradation reactions of sofosbuvir using HPLC based on the kinetics of sofosbuvir degradation. Methods: Following four factors for the Design of Experiments were selected, stationary phase, an organic modifier of the mobile phase, column temperature and pH of the mobile phase. These factors were examined in two or three level experimental design using Modde 11.0 (Umetrics) software. The chromatographic parameters like resolution, USP tailing and discrimination factor were calculated and analysed by partial least squares. The chromatography was performed based on Design of Experiments results with the mobile phase containing ammonium phosphate buffer pH 2.5 and methanol as an organic modifier. Separation was achieved using gradient elution on XBridge BEH C8 at 50 °C and a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. UV detection was performed at 220 nm. The activation energy of hydrolytic degradation reactions of sofosbuvir was evaluated using two different calculation methods. The first method is based on the slope of dependence of natural logarithm of the rate constant on inverted thermodynamic temperature and the second approach is the isoconversional method. Results and Conclusion: Calculated activation energies were 77.9 ± 1.1 kJ/mol for the first method and 79.5 ± 3.2 kJ/mol for the isoconversional method. The results can be considered to be identical, therefore both calculation methods are suitable for the determination of the activation energy of degradation reactions.

The linear-solvent strength (LSS) model of gradient elution in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been demonstrated to provide parameters of lipophilicity and acidity of analytes. pKa and log kw values are determined in three gradient runs. The first two experiments use an aqueous buffered eluent with a wide-range organic modifier gradient at pH of buffer, providing suppression of ionization of the analyte. That experiment allows an estimate of contents of the organic modifier in the mobile phase (%B), producing requested retention coefficient, k, for the nonionized form of the analyte. The next experiment is carried out with the latter %B and a pH-gradient of the aqueous component of the eluent that is sufficient to overlap possible pKa value of the analyte. The initial pH of the buffer used to make the mobile phase is selected to insure that the analyte is in nonionized form. The resulting retention time allows an estimate of pKa in a solvent of the given %B.The log kw parameter obtained correlated well with the corresponding value obtained by the standard procedure of extrapolation of retention data determined in a series of isocratic measurements. The correlation between log kw and the reference parameter of lipophilicity, log P, was very good for a series of test analytes. The values of pKa were found to correlate with the literature pKa data determined in water for a set of aniline derivatives studied.
