Compound: Pseudoephedrine (PSE)
Separation of NyQuil Active Ingredients on Primesep C |
 |
Application Notes: 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.

HPLC Separation of Drugs in Tylenol Cold and Cough Remedies |
 |
Application Notes: Components of Tylenol Cold and Cough Remedy are separated on Obelisc R mixed-mode column. Method can be used to determine compounds in various cough and cold compositions. Neutral (acetaminophen), basic (chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan and pseudoephedrine) and acidic (maleic acid/Maleate) components are analyzed with perfect peak shape and retention control. Method can be used in production, QC/QA and biological studies for quantitation of various components in pharmaceutical formulations (Advil, Tylenol, Dimetapp, Robitussin, NyQuil, etc) Application Analytes: Application Detection: |
HPLC Separation of Drugs in Advil Allergy and Sinus |
 |
Application Notes: Ibuprofen is in a group of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Ibuprofen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose). The combination of chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat sneezing, itching, watery eyes, runny nose, stuffy nose, sinus congestion, cough, and pain or fever caused by the common cold or flu in common over-the-counter medication (Advil, NyQuil, Tylenol, etc.) Active ingredients of Advil Allergy and Sinus composition are separated by combination of reverse phase, cation-exchange and anion exchange mechanisms. Obelisc R mixed-mode column is used to separate pseudoephedrine (polar basic compound), chlorpheniramine (hydrophobic basic compound), ibuprofen (hydrophobic acidic compound) and maleic acid (counter-ion, hydrophilic acid compound). Method can be used for QC in production, impurity profiling and research and development. All compounds are well separated with high efficiency and good peak shape. Method uses ammonium formate buffer but other buffers can be used as well (ammonium acetate, sodium and ammonium phosphate) with corresponding detection technique - ELSD, LC/MS, and UV. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

HPLC Analysis of Motrin Cough & Cold Composition |
 |
Application Notes: Motrin is cough and cold composition manufactured by McNeil PPC. It contains ibuprofen as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (N-SAID) and pseudoephedrine as decongestant. Ibuprofen is hydrophobic acidic molecule and pseudoephedrine hydrophilic molecule. Pseudoephedrine does not retained well in reversed phase chromatography and requires the use of ion-pairing reagent. In the absence of ion-pairing reagent pseudoephedrine comes close to the void of the column even at low concentrations of acetonitrile, while ibuprofen shows strong retention by reversed-phase mechanism. Different properties of these two molecules require gradient elution and consequent equilibration of the column. In contrast when mixed-mode HPLC column, like Primesep 100, is used, the method can be isocratic, very short with no equilibration of the column. Ibuprofen is retained by strong reversed-phase mechanism and pseudoephedrine is retained by weak reversed-phase and strong cation-exchange mechanisms on Primesep 100 column. Retention time of hydrophobic molecule is controlled by amount of acetonitrile, and retention of hydrophilic basic molecule is controlled by the amount of buffer and buffer pH. Method can be UV, ELSD and LC/MS compatible with various additives to the mobile phase (TFA, ammonium formate or acetate, sulphate or phosphate buffers at various pH). This mixed-mode column can be used for analysis of other OTC drugs including mixtures of basic, acidic and hydrophobic compounds. Application Analytes: Application Detection: |
