Abstract
A tandem-column liquid chromatographic method was developed to separate ten non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Aceclofenac, Aspirin, Carprofen, Celecoxib, Diclofenac, Flurbiprofen, Ibuprofen, Ketoprofen, Naproxen, Salicylic Acid) using an achiral tandem-column configuration under reversed-phase conditions. An NSAID test mix was prepared with 0.5 mg/mL thiourea as a t0 marker and 0.5 mg/mL of the above NSAIDs in 1:1 acetonitrile: 0.2% formic acid. Three different 5-cm columns were investigated individually and in two different tandem-column configurations: an octyl (C8) column, a perfluorophenyl (PFP) column, and a biphenyl (BP) column. The two tandem configurations investigated were a PFP column followed by either a BP or C8 column. While none of the individual columns provided the selectivity needed to separate two sets of critical pairs (Ketoprofen and Naproxen; Flurbiprofen and Ibuprofen), the unique selectivity provided by the two tandem-column combinations enabled both critical pairs to be separated. The PFP + BP tandem column combination was able to separate the 10 NSAIDs with baseline or greater resolution in less than 25 min.
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.
