目的:优化高效液相色谱法检测罗红霉素含量的最佳流动相条件,改善现行方法中主峰拖尾现象。方法:选取流动相中缓冲液浓度、pH值、三乙胺含量、乙腈用量为影响因素,以罗红霉素色谱峰拖尾因子(T1)、保留时间(tn)、半峰宽(W1/2)及理论板数(N)为考察指标,设计正交试验优化含量测定方法并与2010年版《中国药典》含量测定方法比较。结果:优化后含量测定方法:用十八烷基硅烷键合硅胶为填充剂,流动相:O.067mol·L^-1磷酸二氢铵溶液(三乙胺含量O.3%,调pH值至7.5).乙腈(60:40),检测波长:205nm,柱温:30℃,流速:1.0mL·min^-1,进样量:20μL。优化后方法与药典方法的比较结果:L为1.2、1.9;tR为14.133、12.383min;W1/2为0.400、0.533;N为6916、2987。结论:优化后方法较2010年版《中国药典》方法提高了柱效,延长了保留时间,较好地改善了色谱峰拖尾严重的状况。
OBJECTIVE: To optimize mobile phase condition of content determination of roxithromycin by HPLC, and to improve peak tailing. METHODS: Using buffer concentration, pH value of mobile phase, amount of triethylamine and acetonitrile as factors and with tailing factor (T1), retention time (tR), half-peak width (W1/2) and theoretical plate number (N) as index, the determination method was optimized by orthogonal and compared with content determination method stated in Chinese Pharmacopeia (2010 edition). RESULTS: Optimal condition was as follows: Ct8 column was used, mobile phases consisted of 0.067 mol.L^-1 ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (0.3%TEA, pH=7.5)-acetonitrile (60:40) at flow rate of 1.0 mL.min^-1 and the detection wavelength was set at 205 mn. The injection volume was 20 μL and the column temperature was 30 ℃. Optimized method was com- pared with that stated in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. T1 were 1.2 and 1.9; tR were 14.133 min and 12.383 min; W1/2 were 0.400 and 0.533; N were 6 916 and 2 987. CONCLUSION: Compared with the current method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 edition), the optimal method is better in term of column efficiency, prolonging retention time and improving peak tailing.
