Pre-Column Derivatization HPLC Procedure for the Quantitation of Aluminium Chlorohydrate in Antiperspirant Creams Using Quercetin as Chromogenic Reagent

Abstract

This article describes the development and validation of a selective high-performance liquid chromatography method that allows, after liquid–liquid extraction and pre-column derivatization reaction with quercetin, the quantification of aluminium chlorohydrate in antiperspirant creams. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an XTerra MS C18 analytical column (150 × 3.0 mm i.d., particle size 5 μm) using a mobile phase of acetonitrile:water (15:85, v/v) containing 0.08 % trifluoroacetic acid at a flow rate of 0.30 mL min−1. Ultraviolet spectrophotometric detection at 415 nm was used. The assay was linear over a concentration range of 3.7–30.6 μg mL−1 for aluminium with a limit of quantitation of 3.74 μg mL−1. Quality control samples (4.4, 17.1 and 30.6 μg mL−1) in five replicates from five different runs of analysis demonstrated intra-assay precision (% coefficient of variation <3.8 %), inter-assay precision (% coefficient of variation <5.4 %) and an overall accuracy (% recovery) between 96 and 101 %. The method was used to quantify aluminium in antiperspirant creams containing 11.0, 13.0 and 16.0 % (w/w) aluminium chlorohydrate, respectively.

A new spectrophotometric study with ortho hydroxy schiff base for the determination of aluminum in drug

“…For these reasons, it is important to determine aluminium [1,2]. AAS [3][4][5], Chromatography [6,7], Fluorescence [8], X-ray fluorescence spectrometry [9], Voltametry [10], Polarography [11], and ICP-MS [12,13] methods are used for the determination of aluminium apart from UV-Vis. method.…”

A paper platform for colorimetric determination of aluminum hydrochloride in antiperspirant samples

“…There are several methods that can be used to determine aluminum in antiperspirant samples, including pre-column derivatization and HPLC-UV/Vis detection [18], flow injection analysis with spectrophotometric detection [19], and atomic absorption spectroscopy [20], among others. Most of these methods require the use of organic solvents or derivatization steps, which may cause harm to the operator and the environment.…”

Self-plasticized, lumogallion-based fluorescent optical sensor for the determination of aluminium (III) with ultra-low detection limits

“…Fluorometric detection based on the presence of lumogallion has gained a widespread acceptance due to its low detection limits and good selectivity to Al 3+ . 33 It has been routinely employed in separation science as a pre-column derivatization dye 34 or in plant chemistry 35 as aluminium tracing agent. Moreover, recent study carried out by Mold et al report the first use of lumogallion for the unequivocal determination of aluminium adjuvants in monocytic T helper 1 (THP-1) cell line.…”
