Abstract:
We have developed a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography pulsed amperometric detection (RPHPLC-PAD) method for the determination of paromomycin. It is sensitive, repeatable, and selective without the pretreatment step. Trifluoroacetic acid-water was utilized as the eluent and detected by PAD under NaOH alkaline conditions. The paromomycin detection limit (S/N=3.3) was 2μgmL(-1) and the quantification limit (S/N=10) was 6μgmL(-1). Coefficients of linear regression were higher than 0.99 for concentrations between 6.25 and 200μgmL(-1). The intra and inter-day precision (RSD) was less than 6.5%. The average recoveries were 97.53-102.01%. The proposed HPLC-PAD method presented advantageous performance characteristics and it can be considered suitable for the evaluation of paromomycin loaded nanogel formulation in ex vivo permeation and in vitro release studies.
