High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Separation of Acetaminophen and 4-Aminophenol

4-Aminophenol (also known as para-aminophenol or Rodinal) is a popular film developing compound and building block in organic chemistry reactions. Most notably, it is a key compound used in the production of acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol or Tylenol). 4-Aminophenol can be separated, retained, and analyzed on a Primesep 100 mixed-mode stationary phase column using an isocratic analytical method with a simple mobile phase of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and an sulfuric acid (H2SO4) or perchloric acid (HClO4) buffer. This analysis method can be detected in the UV regime at 220 nm.

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Acetaminophen, Dextromethorphan, Pseudoephedrine, Doxylamine

Nyquil is a combination of medicines used to treat headaches, fever, body aches, cough, runny nose, sneezing, and sore throat caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu. Nyquil contains the active ingredients acetaminophen, dextromethorphan HBr, doxylamine succinate, and sometimes, phenylephrine HCl. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It affects the cough reflex in the brain that triggers coughing. Doxylamine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Pseudoephedrine is used to relieve nasal congestion caused by colds, allergies, and hay fever. It is also used to temporarily relieve sinus congestion and pressure. All active compounds of Nyquil can be separated in HPLC on a BIST B+ column. The analytical method uses acetonitrile (ACN) gradient and water with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as buffer and UV detected at 210 nm.

HPLC Method for the Determination of Acetaminophen, Phenylephrine, and Ascorbic Acid on Primesep S2 Column

Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Acetaminophen, Phenylephrine, and Ascorbic Acid

Acetaminophen (or paracetamol) is one of the most popular over-the-counter painkillers all over the world (in the US it is best known under the brand name Tylenol). Ascorbic acid (also known as Vitamin C) helps your body build up muscle, cartilage, and other important building blocks in your body. Phenylephrine is a common over-the-counter decongestant, but can also be used for pupil dilation and hemorrhoid treatment. While all of these compounds are available at your local pharmacy, Vitamin C intake can reduce the body’s ability to break down acetaminophen.

All three of these compounds can be measured at low UV. Using a Primsep S normal phase column and a mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with an Ammonium acetate (AmAc) buffer, these three compounds can be separated and UV detected at 270 nm. Varying the buffer concentration changes the order in which phenylephrine and ascorbic acid are retained. This method is compatible with Mass Spectrometry.

Obelisc R

SIELC has developed the Obelisc™ columns, which are mixed-mode and utilize Liquid Separation Cell technology (LiSC™). These cost-effective columns are the first of their kind to be commercially available and can replace multiple HPLC columns, including reversed-phase (RP), AQ-type reversed-phase, polar-embedded group RP columns, normal-phase, cation-exchange, anion-exchange, ion-exclusion, and HILIC (Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography) columns. By controlling just three orthogonal method parameters - buffer concentration, buffer pH, and organic modifier concentration - users can adjust the column properties with pinpoint precision to separate complex mixtures.

HPLC Separation of Acetaminophen, Phenylephrine, and Diphenhydramine

March 3, 2006

Primesep C separates acetaminophen (paracetamol), phenylephrine, and diphenhydramine– common over-the-counter cold and flu medication ingredients such as Tylenol products—by either an acetonitrile or phosphoric acid gradient. The HPLC separation uses a mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN), and phosphoric acid with ultraviolet (UV) detection at 210 nm.

Condition

Column Primesep C, 4.6×150 mm, 5 µm, 100A
Mobile Phase MeCN
Buffer H3PO4
Flow Rate 1.0 ml/min
Detection UV, 210 nm

Separation of NyQuil Active Ingredients on Primesep C

March 2, 2004

Primesep C separates the active ingredients in the over-the-counter cold medicine, NyQuil. Succinate and bromate co-elute early, but acetaminophen, pseudoephedrine, doxylamine, and dextromethorphan are baseline resolved. A combination of cation exchange, complex formation, and hydrophobic interactions separate this mixture with a mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and triethylamine (TEA) phosphate with UV detection at 205 nm.
