Abstract
Omeprazole (OMP), a member of proton pump inhibitors class, is widely used in the treatment of dyspepsia and peptic ulcer disease, etc. A simple, robust, and stability-indicating reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method has been developed and validated for determination of OMP and its related substances. The analytes were separated on a short, fused core Halo octyl (C8) column (50 mm × 2.1 mm i.d., 2.7 µm particle size) using a gradient elution at a column temperature of 25 °C. Omeprazole and its related substances were monitored by UV detection at 280 nm. Mobile phase A (MPA) of the method is 10 mM ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) in H2O and mobile phase B (MPB) is MeOH/IPA (95/5). The total run time of the new method is 33 min. The new HPLC method has a significantly higher degree of selectivity and efficiency in separating OMP related compounds compared with the current compendial HPLC methods for OMP drug substance outlined in the United States and European Pharmacopeia monographs.
期刊介绍:
Separation sciences, in all their various forms such as chromatography, field-flow fractionation, and electrophoresis, provide some of the most powerful techniques in analytical chemistry and are applied within a number of important application areas, including archaeology, biotechnology, clinical, environmental, food, medical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, polymer and biopolymer research. Beyond serving analytical purposes, separation techniques are also used for preparative and process-scale applications. The scope and power of separation sciences is significantly extended by combination with spectroscopic detection methods (e.g., laser-based approaches, nuclear-magnetic resonance, Raman, chemiluminescence) and particularly, mass spectrometry, to create hyphenated techniques. In addition to exciting new developments in chromatography, such as ultra high-pressure systems, multidimensional separations, and high-temperature approaches, there have also been great advances in hybrid methods combining chromatography and electro-based separations, especially on the micro- and nanoscale. Integrated biological procedures (e.g., enzymatic, immunological, receptor-based assays) can also be part of the overall analytical process.
