Derringer desirability functions are a great favorite of mine because they are very simple and flexible. They may be applied to a variety of problems: whenever you need to select the “best” (sample, method, operating conditions etc.) from a set. It is also a convenient way to compare apples and oranges, whenever totally unrelated features must be ranked. They were first described by Derringer and Markham1 to select polymeric materials based on varied properties.

A surfactant based diluent was used in sample preparation for reversed phase HPLC analysis of a drug product and its impurities in a phospholipid formulation. The use of the didodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) enabled a consistent, quantitative extraction of the analytes of interest from the lipid matrix in a much more aqueous, weak solvent. Water was added as an anti-solvent to precipitate out the surfactant from the system to eliminate HPLC injection pressure spikes, enabling large volume injections and achieving a consistent, robust method for long term use. Method development and validation steps are described.
