Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography method for eremomycin determination in pre-clinical study.

A complex of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) methods for simple and efficient determination of eremomycin (ERM) as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of a novel drug is proposed for preclinical study, which includes the dissolution test and pharmacokinetic study on the animals. A home-made HILIC silica-based stationary phase (SP) containing diol functionalities and positively charged nitrogen atoms in its structure was synthesized for this research and applied for the first time for performing the first step of preclinical study (dissolution test) of the novel ERM-containing drug. HILIC method developed using novel home-made SP allowed us to avoid any interferences from polyethylene glycol (PEG) contained in the drug matrix thus providing a unique advantage of the proposed approach over RP HPLC.

Development and validation of a LC-MS/MS method for D-cycloserine determination in human plasma for bioequivalence study.

A reliable and high throughput high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for determining levels of the antitubercular drug-D -cycloserine in human plasma. Plasma samples analyte with an internal standard (IS) (niacin) were prepared by solid-phase extraction using Waters Oasis MCX cartridges. The chromatographic separation was performed using the HILIC mode on a YMC-Pack SIL-06 column (150 × 4.
