Validação de método analítico por espectrofotometria UV para sistema emulsionado lipídico contendo benznidazol

A validation study of an UV spectrophotometric method was conducted for quantitative analysis of benznidazol (BZN) in a lipid. The analytical determinations were performed at 315 nm at 25 ºC. The emulsion components did not interfere on drug analyses, demonstrating the specificity of the methodology. A good linearity (r = 0.99995) and precision (RSD < 5.0%) for intra and inter-day studies, including the reproducibility test were observed. The accuracy ranged of 102.1 + 2.8 e 103.8 + 1.7%. The statistical analysis demonstrates a linear, precise, accurate and robust method for BZN quantification from the lipid emulsion system.

Validação de método analítico por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência para doseamento do adapaleno em suspensões de nanocápsulas

Adapalene is a retinoid drug often used for disorders of the skin, mainly acne. In this work, an analytical method for the quantification of adapaleno in suspensions of nanocapsules by HPLC was developed and validated. The method was linear in the range of 10-30 µg mL-1, with a good correlation coefficient (r = 0.994). Precision and accuracy analysis showed low relative standard deviation (< 4.6%) and a good recovery percentual (98.2-106.9%). The procedure was specific, linear, precise, exact and robust so that the method can be applied in quantification of adapalene in suspensions of nanocapsules.

Validação de método e determinação espectrométrica dos flavonoides das folhas e do vinhoto da cana-de-açúcar e comparação com método CLAE-UV

This paper reports on a modification of the procedures originally described in the French Pharmacopoeia for the UV-visible spectrometric analysis of flavonoids, and proposes a validation of the method and its application in the determination of total flavonoids from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) leaves and vinasse. An analysis of precision and accuracy revealed a low relative standard deviation (< 5.0%) and a good recovery percentages (99.79 and 98.34%). A comparison of the spectrometric results against those obtained by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-UV) demonstrated complete compatibility between the modified French Pharmacopoeia (spectrometric) and HPLC-UV methods

Validação de método multirresíduo para determinação de pesticidas em alimentos empregando QuEChERS E UPLC-MS/MS

This paper presents a practical and rapid method which was validated for simultaneous quantification and confirmation of 29 pesticides in fruits and vegetables using ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The samples were extracted following the method known as QuEChERS. Using the developed chromatographic conditions, the pesticides can be separated in less than 9 min. Two multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) assays were used for each pesticide. Four representative matrices (lettuce, tomato, apple and grapes) were selected to investigate the effect in recoveries and precision. Typical recoveries ranged from 70-120%, with relative standard deviation (RSDs) lower than 20%.

Desenvolvimento e validação de método analítico por CLAE para a quantificação simultânea de dipropionato de betametasona e fosfato sódico de betametasona em suspensão injetável

A reversed-phase HPLC method was developed and validated to separate and simultaneously quantify the association of betamethasone sodium phosphate (BP) and betamethasone dipropionate (BD) in injectable suspensions. Chromatographic conditions were ternary gradient elution at 1.6 mL/min on a C18 column with 254 nm. The linearity of the method was established in the range 120 to 280 mg/mL BD, and 48 to 112 mg/mL BP. The RSD of intermediate precision of the method was <1% and recoveries were 99-101% for both drugs. The method proved selective, linear, precise, accurate and robust for quantifying BP and BD in commercial injectable suspensions.

Determinação de glicerol livre e total em amostras de biodiesel por método enzimático com detecção colorimétrica

A method based on enzymatic activities was developed using three enzymes (glycerokinase, glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase and peroxidase) and colorimetric detection for the determination of glycerol in biodiesel. The enzymatic conversion of glycerol produces H2O2 that is eliminated by the action of peroxidase, an oxygen acceptor and 4- aminoantipirine, producing water and a colored compound, which was analyzed. This method showed good linear correlation coefficient (r = 0.9937) in the concentration range of 4.95 x 10-5 to 3.96 x 10-4% (w/w) and had experimental limits of detection and quantitation of 7.10 x 10-6 and 2.10 x 10-5% (w/w), respectively.

Desenvolvimento e validação de método analítico para quantificação do fármaco bevacizumabe por cromatografia a líquido de alta eficiência

In this study, an analytical method was developed and validated for quantitation of the drug bevacizumab (Avastin®) by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC column was a BioSuite 250® HR SEC, 300 x 7.8 mm x 5 µm (Waters, USA). The mobile phase consisted of phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The results revealed that the method was specific, precise, accurate, robust and linear (r² = 0.998) from 5 to 75 µg mL-1. Therefore, this method can be used in drug release studies or in quality control ampoules of the drug.
