  • Multiresidue analysis of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in chicken tissue using liquid chromatography-fluorescence-multiple mass spectrometry.
    Journal of chromatography. B Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences, 2002
    Co-Authors: Marilyn J. Schneider, Daniel J. Donoghue
    Abstract:

    An efficient liquid chromatographic method for the multiresidue analysis of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in chicken tissue has been developed in which quantitation using fluorescence and confirmation with multiple mass spectrometry (MS(n)) was achieved simultaneously. Using this method, eight fluoroquinolones were analyzed in fortified samples of chicken liver and muscle tissue with recoveries at levels of 10-200 ng/g generally in the range of 60-93%, except for desethylene ciprofloxacin, which consistently gave recoveries >or=45%. Relative standard deviations were excellent in all cases, and the limits of detection in ng/g were determined as follows in liver and (muscle): desethylene ciprofloxacin 0.3 (0.1), norfloxacin 1.2 (0.2), ciprofloxacin 2 (1.5), danofloxacin 0.2 (0.1), enrofloxacin 0.3 (0.2), Orbifloxacin 1.5 (0.5), sarafloxacin 2 (0.6), difloxacin 0.3 (0.2). Confirmation of the identities of the fluoroquinolones was achieved by monitoring the ratios of two prominent product ions in MS(2) (desethylene ciprofloxacin) or MS(3) (all others). Levels of confirmation as related to ion ratio variability criteria were established. Enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were also determined in enrofloxacin incurred chicken liver and muscle using this method.

  • quality by design part i application of nir spectroscopy to monitor tablet manufacturing process
    Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2008
    Co-Authors: Simin Hassannejad Tabasi, Raafat Fahmy, Dennis Bensley, Charles Obrien, Stephen W Hoag
    Abstract:

    Abstract To monitor tableting production using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, chemometric models were developed to analyze peak compression force, crushing strength and content uniformity. To measure tablet content uniformity, Orbifloxacin tablets with drug content ranging from 60 to 90 mg were made and analyzed using ultraviolet (UV) and NIR spectroscopy. To assess the compression force and crushing strength, several batches of tablets were made on a Stokes B2 rotary tablet press and compression force was varied from 360 to 3500 lb. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to identify tablets with regular and capped tablets breakage patterns. Comparison of statistical parameters showed that partial least squares (PLS) models gave better fit than the multiple linear regression (MLR) models. The best fit PLS models had a standard error of calibration (SEC) and a standard error of prediction (SEP) for content uniformity of 1.13 and 1.36 mg; for compression force of 69.86 and 59.48 lb and for crushing strength 0.55 kP and 0.57 kP, respectively. NIR spectroscopy in combination with multivariate modeling is a rapid and nondestructive technique that could reliably predict content uniformity, compression force and crushing strength for Orbifloxacin tablets.

  • quality by design part ii application of nir spectroscopy to monitor the coating process for a pharmaceutical sustained release product
    Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2008

    Abstract:

    Ammonio methacrylate copolymers are commercially available as Eudragit RL/RS; they differ in the degree of quaternary ammonium group substitution, which gives them different permeabilities. These closely related polymers can be combined in various ratios to control release rate; consequently, release rate is controlled by the polymer composition and coating thickness. Therefore, predicting drug release from methacrylate copolymers using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be technically difficult. Thus, the objective of this study is to use NIRS to develop multivariate calibration models to predict tablet coat thickness and release rate for tablets coated with varying polymer ratios. A series of sustained release Orbifloxacin formulations were developed with varying polymer ratios. Partial least squares (PLS) models were developed to predict coat thickness; samples from these formulations were pooled and a combined calibration was generated. To assess dissolution, tablets were coated using Eudragit RL and RS with ratios of 0:5, 1:4, 2:3, 3:2, 4:1, and 5:0. The amount released at set time-points was used to build PLS models. For the first time, NIRS has been successfully used to monitor Eudragit polymer coat thickness and drug release from tablets coated with various RL:RS ratios, which demonstrates the potential of NIRS as tool for coating process.

    Abstract:

    This study investigated the potential of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to assess film coat curing for tablets coated with methacrylate copolymers. The ability of NIRS to monitor film coat curing was studied and compared to conventional methods like differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot-stage microscopy (HSOM). This study showed that variation in the curing temperature and duration affected the NIR spectra for all formulations. These results and the DSC and HSOM results showed that the spectral changes are due to polymer curing. In addition, glass beads, theophylline and Orbifloxacin tablets were coated using Eudragit RL, RS, and L 30-D with varying ratios. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on the NIR spectra to investigate the effect of curing time and temperature on cast films, uncoated tablets, coated tablets and coated glass beads. Score plots showed that curing duration and temperature affected coated glass beads, uncoated and coated tablets significantly. The amount of drug released at 250 min, and the NIR spectra of cured tablets were used to develop and validate a 7-factor partial least square (PLS) regression calibration for theophylline tablets coated with Eudragit RL:RS 30-D (1:4). This study demonstrated the potential of NIRS in film coat curing and release monitoring.
