Development of a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for determination of six related impurities in prilocaine substance is reported. The test of related impurities in European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) cannot meet the demands with the chromatographic parameters given, therefore different types of chromatographic systems and eight columns have been evaluated in the present study. A new method with a Hypercarb column was developed and validated. This method fulfils the demands in the Ph. Eur., and the validation shows that the method is selective, reproducible, linear, accurate and robust with sufficient limits of detection (0.001-0.004% of 2.5 mg prilocaine mL -1 ) and quantification (0.002-0.009% of 2.5 mg prilocaine mL -1 ).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
