A new high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method accurately quantifies omeprazole and related benzimidazoles. This sensitive technique uses coulometric detection for precise analysis in pharmaceutical formulations.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Electrochemistry
  • Pharmaceutical Analysis

Background:

  • Omeprazole and related benzimidazoles are important pharmaceutical compounds.
  • Accurate quantification methods are crucial for quality control and formulation development.
  • Existing analytical methods may have limitations in sensitivity or scope.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for determining omeprazole and three related benzimidazoles.
  • To investigate the electrochemical oxidation mechanism of these compounds.
  • To apply the developed method for analyzing omeprazole in a practical formulation.

Main Methods:

  • High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with coulometric detection at a porous carbon electrode (+800 mV).

  • Cyclic voltammetry to study the electrochemical behavior of omeprazole.
  • Method validation including linearity and precision assessment.
  • Application to omeprazole determination in a paste formulation.

    • Main Results:

    • A sensitive HPLC method with a linear range of 0.01-10 microg/ml was established.
    • High precision was demonstrated, with a relative standard deviation of 0.7% for omeprazole at 1.06 microg/ml.
    • Electrochemical studies indicated oxidation primarily of the benzimidazole groups, not exclusively the sulfur moiety.
    • The method successfully quantified omeprazole in a paste formulation.

    Conclusions:

    • A sensitive, precise, and robust HPLC-coulometric detection method for omeprazole and related benzimidazoles has been developed.
    • The electrochemical oxidation mechanism involves the benzimidazole ring system.
    • The method is suitable for the quality control and analysis of omeprazole in pharmaceutical products.
