A New Application of Continuous Wavelet Transform to Overlapping Chromatograms for the Quantitative Analysis of Amiloride Hydrochloride and Hydrochlorothiazide in Tablets by Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

A new application of continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to overlapping peaks in a chromatogram was developed for the quantitative analysis of amiloride hydrochloride (AML) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) in tablets. Chromatographic analysis was done by using an ACQUITY ultra-performance LC (UPLC) BEH C18 column (50 x 2.1 mm id, 1.7 pm particle size) and a mobile phase consisting of methanol-0.1 M acetic acid (21 + 79, v/v) at a constant flow rate of 0.3 mL/min with diode array detection at 274 nm. The overlapping chromatographic peaks of the calibration set consisting of AML and HCT mixtures were recorded rapidly by using an ACQUITY UPLC H-Class system. The overlapping UPLC data vectors of AML and HCT drugs and their samples were processed by CWT signal processing methods. The calibration graphs for AML and HCT were computed from the relationship between concentration and areas of chromatographic CWT peaks. The applicability and validity of the improved UPLC-CWT approaches were confirmed by recovery studies and the standard addition technique. The proposed UPLC-CWT methods were applied to the determination of AML and HCT in tablets. The experimental results indicated that the suggested UPLC-CWT signal processing provides accurate and precise results for industrial QC and quantitative evaluation of AML-HCT tablets.

“…(4) Flexibility in selecting bases. Because wavelet transform can flexibly select transform bases, for different applications and different research objects, different wavelet mother functions can be selected to obtain the best results [17], [18].…”

Data Analysis for Multi-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography

“…Nevertheless, the CWT method is not without flaws. This method produces chromatograms analogous to second derivative analysis, so the focus is more on peak detection rather than profile determination, although some studies have shown that areas can be extracted and calibration curves can be obtained [79,80]. The CWT needs to be optimized in terms of the selection of the appropriate wavelet function as well as the scale factor.…”

Simultaneous determination of phthalate plasticizers in PVC packaging materials using homogeneous-ultrasonic extraction-GC-MS assisted with continuous wavelet transform

“…As a variety of isomers exist, the total ion chromatogram (TIC) peaks of diisononyl ortho-phthalate (DINP) and diisodecyl ortho-phthalate (DIDP) are seriously overlapped and noisy, 3,4,13,14 and this leads to difficulty when qualifying and quantifying DINP and DID. It is reported that wavelet transforms can be used for resolution of overlapping chromatographic peaks, [15][16][17][18] although there is no report about its applications for resolution of overlapping chromatographic peaks in GC-MS analysis of PAEs, except that we recently used continuous wavelet transform (CWT) [19][20][21][22][23][24] for resolution of the overlapped TIC peaks of DINP and DIDP when investigating migration behaviors of PAEs from food packaging materials to fatty food simulants. 25 It shows that CWT can be used to "mathematically" resolve the overlapped noisy peaks.…”
