Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To compare HPCE method and HPLC method for determining the content of Cobratide injection. METHODS In HPCE analysis, an uncoated fused silica capillary(50 μm × 40 cm, effective length 30 cm) was used, with 0.1?mol·L
-1 phosphate buffer(pH=2.5) as the running buffer under the voltage of 20 kV at 25 ℃, and the detection wavelength was 200 nm. In HPLC method, the separation was performed on an Aeris PEPTIDE XB-C
18 column(4.6 mm×150 mm, 3.6 μm) under the temperature of 30 ℃ with 0.1% TFA-H2O and 0.1% TFA-CH3CN as the mobile phase at flow rate of 0.9 mL·min
-1. The detection wavelength was set at 200 nm. RESULTS The linear range of HPLC and HPCE were 17.33-138.60 μg·mL
-1 (r=0.999 7) and 1.08-138.60 μg·mL
-1(r=0.999 7), respectively. Their average recoveries were 100.3% and 99.3% with RSD of 0.7% and 1.2%, relatively. CONCLUSION Both methods can be applied to determine the content of Cobratide injection, but HPCE earns more benefits on shorter separation time and lower detection limit and cost.
