Practical Hplc And Lc Ms Method Development And Validation

The coherent body of research described in this book is concerned with new HPLC method development and validation using novel systematic approaches for pharmaceutical and diagnostic compounds. The first stage of the research was to study how analytical method development and validation are typically carried out at present and to formulate this into a simple step-by-step approach. Such a template and protocol was not only used as the foundation of this research programme but could also serve as a simple systematic guide for other practitioners and those new to the field. Furthermore, it was recognised that this protocol should satisfy the requirements of the most strategically important regulatory agencies. The second stage of this research involved evaluation and application of the above validation approach to new methods that were developed for a diverse range of analytes using HPLC and LC-MS. In essence, the critical review of the requirements for method validation for various agencies and the subsequent preparation of guidelines on how to go about method validation have had a significant impact on analytical practitioners worldwide.

This revision brings the reader completely up to date on the evolving methods associated with increasingly more complex sample types analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography, or HPLC.

Describes analytical methods development, optimization and validation, and provides examples of successful methods development and validation in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) areas. The text presents an overview of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)/International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) regulatory guidelines, compliance with validation requirements for regulatory agencies, and methods validation criteria stipulated by the US Pharmacopia, FDA and ICH.

Clinical pharmacology plays an important role in today’s medicine. Due to the high sensitivity, selectivity, and affordability of a mass spectrometer (MS), the high performance liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analytical technique is widely used in the determination of drugs in human biological matrixes for clinical pharmacology. Specifically, LC-MS is used to analyze: anticancer drugs antidementia drugs antidepressant drugs antiepileptic drugs antifundal drug antimicrobial drugs antipsychotic drugs antiretroviral drugs anxiolytic/hypnotic drugs cardiac drugs drugs for addiction immunosuppressant drugs mood stabilizer drugs This book will primarily cover the various methods of validation for LC-MS techniques and applications used in modern clinical pharmacology.

The coherent body of research described in the existing published work is concerned with new assay method development and validation using novel systematic approaches for pharmaceutical and diagnostic compounds. The first stage of the research was to study how analytical method development and validation are typically carried out at present and to formulate this into a simple step-by-step approach. Such a template and protocol was not only used as the foundation of this research programme but could also serve as a simple systematic guide for other practitioners and those new to the field. Furthermore, it was recognised that this protocol should satisfy the requirements of the most strategically important regulatory agencies. The second stage of this research involved evaluation and application of the above validation approach to new methods that were developed for a diverse range of analytes and samples. A new purity assay for 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6- dione and 4,7-phenanthroline-5,6-dione using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed and validated. Impurities in these compounds were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS). Best practice in method development and validation is equally important in the analysis of both active components and excipients in formulated products. In the first case, a liquid chromatography assay method for determining the content of 2-(diethylamino)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl) acetamide in a gel formulation was developed and validated. In the second case, the individual contents of three phydroxy benzoic acid ester preservatives in a complex multi-component sample were determined following the development and validation of a liquid chromatography method. Finally, the validation approach was evaluated as applied to another analytical technique. Here, gas chromatography (GC) successfully used to develop a novel assay for p-cymene in tea tree oil formulations presented different analytical problems because of the very complex nature of this natural product. Stability study information to increase the shelf life of the product and validation data for the analytical method for p-cymene content was critically evaluated. iv In essence, the critical review of the requirements for method validation for various agencies and the subsequent preparation of guidelines on how to go about method validation have had a significant impact on how analytical practitioners worldwide go about method development and, more importantly, method validation. Further it was possible to apply these guidelines to conduct a series of effective, successful method validation for assays involving a range of typical pharmaceutical samples.

Validation describes the procedures used to analyze pharmaceutical products so that the data generated will comply with the requirements of regulatory bodies of the US, Canada, Europe and Japan. Calibration of Instruments describes the process of fixing, checking or correcting the graduations of instruments so that they comply with those regulatory bodies. This book provides a thorough explanation of both the fundamental and practical aspects of biopharmaceutical and bioanalytical methods validation. It teaches the proper procedures for using the tools and analysis methods in a regulated lab setting. Readers will learn the appropriate procedures for calibration of laboratory instrumentation and validation of analytical methods of analysis. These procedures must be executed properly in all regulated laboratories, including pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical laboratories, clinical testing laboratories (hospitals, medical offices) and in food and cosmetic testing laboratories.
