Quantitative Determination of Hexylresorcinol in Commercial Antiseptic Solution by High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography

Adsorptive Stripping Voltammetric Determination of 4‐Hexylresorcinol in Pharmaceutical Products Using Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Based Electrodes

“…Due to increasing legislative restrictions on the use of certain pharmaceuticals and the requirements of labeling food additives, the determination of 4-hexylresorcinol in both the pharmaceutical and food industries is important for quality control purposes [16]. Different analytical methods such as chromatography [14,17,18] spectrophotometry [17,19,20] and mass spectroscopy [21] have been applied to analyze the amount of 4-hexylresorcinol in a range of pharmaceutical [8,22], cosmetic, toiletry [8,23] and foodstuffs [13 -15]. However these methods often incur prohibitively high costs and/or require lengthy sample preparation, making them inherently unattractive for use in the routine detection of 4-hexylresorcinol.…”

“…This method is also extended to the use of a MWCNT modified screen-printed electrode (MWCNT-SPE), thereby demonstrating that this approach can easily be incorporated into a facile and inexpensive electrochemical sensor.Keywords: 4-Hexylresorcinol, Multiwalled carbon nanotubes, Basal-plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes, Screenprinted electrode, Adsorptive stripping voltammetry, Cyclic voltammetry DOI: 10.1002/elan.200804258 4-Hexylresorcinol is a phenol found in several pharmaceutical preparations [1,2] which exploit its bacteriocidal [3 -5], anesthetic [6,7], antiseptic [8], and antihelmintic [9] properties. 4-Hexylresorcinol has been also used as an additive in the food industry [10 -12] in the treatment of certain sea foods, for example, lobsters, shrimp, prawns, and crab [13 -15].…”

Soft Tissue Augmentation with Silk Composite Graft

“…In this study, 4HR was used for silk implants. 4HR is used as an ingredient of oral gargling solution [ 31 ], and has antiseptic [ 21 ] and analgesic effects [ 32 ]. The 4HR combination implant was initially of interest because of its antiseptic effect [ 24 ].…”
