Fast and Universal HPLC Method for Determination of Permethrin in Formulations Using 1.8- m Particle-Packed Column and Performance Comparison with Other Column Types
Abstract:An HPLC method has been developed for the fast separation and quantification of permethrin using C18 column packed with 1.8 µm particles. The method is specific with good resolution to degradation products and to other present components. It has acceptable validation results. The run time is 4.5 min (or may be within 1.6 min is rapid resolution mode) with an organic solvent consumption of 3.6 mL per run. The method has been applied to samples of formulations for various uses: mattress cleaner, shampoo, and vet… Show more
“…The increase in the use of permethrin as a pesticide to manage household insects that constitute nuisance and pose health risk such as malaria is alarming [26,27]. Despite being a very effective insecticide/pesticide [28,29], there are increasing evidences on the toxicity tendency of permethrin [30][31][32].…”
This study investigated the neurotoxic effects of permethrin on the cerebellum, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of Wistar rats and its effects on some behavioral patterns. Fifteen adult male Wistar rats were grouped into three categories: Group A received 0.1 mL normal saline (control), and Groups B and C received mixed feed with 500 mg/kg and 1,000 mg/kg of 0.6% permethrin, respectively, for 14 days. The animals were assessed for memory, anxiety and exploratory locomotion and thereafter anesthetized and transcardially perfused with normal saline and 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA). Cerebellum, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex were excised from the whole brain and processed for tissue histology, histochemistry and immunohistochemistry. Oxidative status and lipid peroxidation were also assessed using catalase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde as biomarkers. Results revealed dosedependent decrease in body weights but increase in cerebellar and prefrontal weights, depletion of endogenous antioxidant markers, cognitive deficits, reduced locomotor activities, degenerative changes in the microarchitecture at high doses and presence of chromatolytic cells at both low and high doses of permethrin. Astrocytes were activated while synaptophysin expression was downregulated. Permethrin causes dose-dependent neurotoxicity on the morphology, neurochemistry and oxidative status of different brain regions, and these could affect behavioral performance and other neurologic functions.

“…e LOQ of permethrin was determined to be 0.5 g/mL, considering the mean accuracy value of 101.18% and maximum RSD value of 2.07% (Table 1). is value indicates that the proposed method is much more sensitive than what have been reported previously [12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…In addition, recycling signi�cantly reduced the mobile phase consumption and made the method economic. Moreover, the method is much more sensitive than the previously reported procedures [12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…However, no method was compiled in British and United state pharmacopoeias for the analysis of this medicine in pharmaceutical preparations. Few methods reported the quantitation of permethrin in pharmaceutical dosage forms using spectrophotometric methods, [12] and LC methods with ultraviolet detection [13][14][15][16], most of which have not been validated according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) stability-indicating guidelines.…”
A green, simple, and stability-indicating RP-HPLC method was developed for simultaneous determination of permethrin isomers in pharmaceutical preparations. The separation was based on a C18analytical column (150 × 4.6 mm, i.d., 5 μm). The mobile phase consisted of ethanol: phosphoric acid solution (pH = 3) (67 : 33, v/v). The elution was carried out at 30°C temperature with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Quantitation was achieved with UV detection at 215 nm. In forced degradation studies, the drug was subjected to oxidation, hydrolysis, photolysis, and heat. The method was validated for specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, and robustness. The applied procedure was found to be linear in permethrin concentration range of 0.5–50 μg/mL with correlation coefficients of 0.9996 for each isomer. Precision was evaluated by replicate analysis in which % relative standard deviation (RSD) values for areas were found below 2.0. The recoveries obtained (99.24%–100.72%) ensured the accuracy of the developed method. The peaks of permethrin isomers well resolved from various degradation products as well as the pharmaceutical excipients. Accordingly, the proposed validated and sustainable procedure was proved to be proper for routine analyzing and stability studies of permethrin in pharmaceutical preparations.
“…[7]. For permethrin analysis are reported several methods based on separation techniques followed by identification and quantification using different types of detectors (GC-FID [8], GC-ECD [9], GC-MS [10], HPLC-DAD [11], HPLC-UV [12][13]. The challenging in permethrin testing is to establish the suitable HPLC chromatographic conditions that ensure complete resolution of the two geometric isomers.…”
Section: An Analytical Approach For Extraction and Detection Of Permementioning
With the development of textile industry and technology, the interest in creating value-added textiles is growing more
and more. The global trend is to functionalize textile materials for narrow and well-defined purposes. Textile materials
are increasingly subject of high quality standards and their functionalization must be very efficient and with minimal
impact on the environment and human health. The purpose of this research was to determine the content of permethrin
from knits made of Cell Solution® functional fibers, which provide effective protection against insects. The substance
permethrin (according to WHO recommendation, C21H20Cl2O3, CAS number: 52645-53-1) is integrated into the fibers.
Permethrin is a substance that acts similar to the natural pyrethrum extracted from chrysanthemum flowers. When
insects get into contact with Cell Solution® PROTECTION fibers, the knockdown effect of the substance sets in. A
chemically initiated stimulus causes insects to stay on the textile shorter thus reducing the risk of painful and infectious
bites or strings. The repellent effect is particularly working on ticks, mites and gnats. This research also aims to make a
comparison between the effect of different knitting methods (repeated washing cycles of textile materials, exposure to
Weather Fastness Tester-visible light) in order to observe the stability of the insecticide incorporated into the fiber. For
the extraction of permethrin from knits we used the innovative method of accelerated solvent extraction method (ASE)
and for the quantification of the substance we used the liquid chromatographic method with spectrophotometric
detection (HPLC-MWD). Both cis-permethrin and trans-permethrin were found in the samples, and for isomeric
confirmation we analysed the extracted samples also on gas chromatography (GC-MS).
