Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC method for determining the contents of diphenylmethanol and diphenylmethanone in diphenhydramine hydrochloride injection. METHODS The condition of detection were: Agilent CN column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm), the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and 20 mmol·L
-1 ammonium acetate (adjust with formic acid to pH 6.5) (50∶50), the UV detection wavelength was 255 nm. RESULTS The calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.531 0-53.10 μg·mL
-1 for diphenylmethanol (r=1.000); the calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.021 22-53.05 μg·mL
-1 for diphenylmethanone (r=1.000). The average recovery of diphenylmethanol was 99.8%(RSD=0.8%); the average recovery of diphenylmethanone was 100.4%(RSD=1.3%). CONCLUSION The method is simple, accurate, reliable and can be used for the quality control of diphenylmethanol and diphenylmethanone in diphenhydramine hydrochloride injection.
