Pharmaceutical Analysis

A new article discusses the benefits and drawbacks of RPLC and RPLC×RPLC chromatography techniques. It provides recommendations for selecting the best approach for analyzing small pharmaceuticals and peptides.

Scientists have developed a magnetic ionic liquid hypercrosslinked polymer composite for use in magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which was coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the detection of trace amounts of NSAIDs in water and urine samples.

New article reviews the progress in suppression techniques for ion chromatography from 1981 to 2022, with an emphasis on the last ten years, and discusses the current challenges and future prospects regarding suppressors.

Scientists propose a gel-free hybridization assay using peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes and capillary electrophoresis (CE) for qualitative and quantitative analysis of nucleic acid therapeutics.

Researchers have developed a new model for achiral chromatography (ACh) that can separate non-racemic mixtures of enantiomers.

In the first of a two-part series, a recent study discusses a new strategy for assessing the peak purity of pharmaceutical peptides analysis using 2D-LC–MS.

Sartans are important drugs that help treat hypertension and heart failure. However, since their recall in 2018 because of the presence of genotoxic impurities in these drugs, researchers are tackling the question of how to detect these impurities in these drugs before they go to market. This article describes a HPLC–APCI-MS/MS method that can help in this endeavor.

Solid-phase microextraction combined with mass spectrometry improves our ability for rapid drug screening.

SIFT–MS analysis has potential to screen large numbers of packaging samples for the volatile MOH fraction, providing a rapid indication of packaging material contamination.

The current challenges and future perspectives of the purification of cannabinoids from cannabis extracts are presented in this review article.
