Diode array detection and simultaneous quantitation of the coeluting atenolol-related synthetic route impurities,
1Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, School of Pharmacy, University of Bradford, W.Y., United Kingdom.
Abstract:
The diode array multichannel detector is used to acquire spectral information at specified intervals in the elution profile of atenolol and its related impurities for post-chromatographic data analysis. The applicability of a number of peak homogeneity testing methods, including spectral normalization, absorbance ratio, chromatographic derivatives, and spectral suppression (SS), are assessed for suitability in simultaneous determinations of the coeluting atenolol-related synthetic impurities, PPA-Diol. Spectral suppression displays a superior performance in comparison to all the other techniques in that both qualitative and quantitative information are acquired on the system.
