Q

Soxhlet extraction of cocaine

A
  1. Leaves packed into extraction thimble
  2. Solvent evaporates and condenses into the thimble
    i. Type of solvent used: use diff volatility, polarity

  3. Solvent extracts the cocaine and drip into solvent flask
    i. Continuous process
  4. ROTATORY EVAPORATION obtains crude cocaine
    i. Under vacuum to pull out solvent. Residue is component (cocaine)
  5. Recrystallization to obtain pure cocaine
    * Test residual in diff acids –> HPLC (purification)
    * Qualify/ identify and quantify compounds found

○ Presence of inorganic salts of carbonates, phosphates, silicates — Na, K, Ca, mg

1) Incinerate crude drug

A

Monograph of pharmacopeia usually have multiple methods to identify chemical drug sub

1) infrared absorption test
2) UV absorption test
3) TLC (thin layer chromatography) test

50
Q

Infrared absorption test

  • Compare the IR spectrum of test sample & USP reference standard
A
  • MOA: Molecules absorb IR waves, gains energy based on the bonds in diff functional grps in structure
    • Bonds can be bend/ stretched
    • Appear as a peak
      ○ Allows identification of functional grps
    • Has fingerprint region (600-1400 cm-1) of IR spectrum
      ○ Unique to molecule. Can identify molecule if have same absorbent spectrum within this value
51
Q

UV absorption test

  • UV absorption measured of a test sol and standard sol
    • Use 1 cm cell, over 200-400nm
A
  • Compare the UV spectra of test and standard sol
    • Determine the absorptivity and absorbance ratio as indicated in monograph
    • Requirements are met if UV absorption spectra of test and standard sol exhibit maxima and minima at same wavelength
    • Absorptivity and/or absorbance ratios are within specified limits
52
Q

TLC

  • Develop a TLC using silica gel chromatographic plate impregnated with suitable fluorescing sub
  • Apply 10uL test sol and 10uL standard sol (prepared from USP reference standard)

53
Q

quantify purity of analyte by 2 methods

A

1) titrimetric analysis
2) HPLC

54
Q

1) titrimetric analysis eg

A

direct acid/base titration
- argentometric titration

indirect titration
- blank titration

Argentometric titration (direct)
Complexometric titration
Redox titration
Non-aqueous titration
Potentiometric titration

55
Q

1) Titrimetric analysis principles and application

A
  • Principles: the amt of a standard reagent of precisely known conc is used to react chemically with an analyte such that the amt of the standard reagent used can be used to estimate the purity of the analyte
  • Application: Used in pharmacopeia assays to determine the purity of active content of API in a dosage form, purity of raw materials for medicinal pdt prep
56
Q

titrimetric ADV & DISADV

A

ADV:
i. Capable of high degree of precision and accuracy
ii. Methods are generally robust
iii. Analyses can e automated and cheap to perform (esp for countries that may not have suff resources)

DISADV:
i. Method may not be selective
ii. Time-consuming
iii. Require large amts of sample and reagents

57
Q

Indirect titration in aqueous phase mechanism

A

Involve addition (from pipette) an excess of standard volumetric sol (VS) to weighed amt of analyte.

Followed by determination of excess unreacted VS

58
Q

indirect titration used for.

A

1) Volatile sub (NH3, volatile oil)
◊ Evaporates off, not very accurate
◊ Add reagent to prevent sub from evaporating off

2) Insol sub (CaCO3)
3) Sub for which quantitative reaction proceeds rapidly only in excess of a reagent
◊ Excess reagent to make reaction. Back titrate the remaining excess reagent

4) Sub which requires heating with volumetric reagent during determination in which a decomposition / loss of reactants or pdts would occur in the process (aspirin)
◊ Heating can cause other rxn

59
Q

blank titration (also an indirect)

A
  • Blank titration to standardize conditions in both blank and sample determination
  • involve heating a lq containing excess of standard alkali, cooling and back titrate excess
    ◊ Heating and cooling affects strength of excess reagent
    ◊ Need to account for it. So blank and analyte undergo same conditions
60
Q

Argentometric titration (direct)

A
  • Quantitative precipitation used for volumetric determinations, provided the point at which PPT is complete can be determined

NaCl + AgNO3 –> AgCl (ppt) + NaNO3

  • NaCl sol can be determined by: titration with AgNO3 (AgCL ppt)
  • Excess AgNO3 reacts with Potassium Chloromate (indicator – red coloration = end point)
61
Q

Considerations for titration

A
  • primary standards
  • correction factor
62
Q

primary standards

A
  • Stable chemical compounds that are available in high purity
  • Used to standardise the standard sol used in titrations
    • Eg: titrant (NaOH) standardised against Potassium hydrogen phthalate (available in high purity)
    • Use to determine the correction factor (f)
63
Q

correction factor (f)

A
  • Usually used in volumetric analysis to simplify calculations
  • Factor is calculated as a ratio (Actual conc/ Desired, nominal conc)
    * Tells us how much a given sol differs from the nominal/ true conc

f = 1, prep sol is prepared precisely to desired conc
Actual conc = (0.5 N) x 0.96 (factor) = 0.48N

64
Q

f < 1

A

prepared sol is of lower conc than what was desired – usually (absorb water, moisture)

65
Q

f > 1

A

prep sol is of higher conc than what was desired

66
Q

HPLC

A
  • analyses based on calibration with external standard
  • Analyses using calibration against an internal standard
67
Q

external standard
* Put in “x” amt, get “ x” amt
- Plot area under curve and varying conc
- Recovery is complete then can use EXTERNAL standard

A

Analyses based on single point calibration
i. If recovery complete: peak of analyte compared with calibration curve of standard analyte
* When TDM, how much drug present by HPLC – assay with internal standard used
* If cannot retrieve an “x” amt of drug than recovery incomplete, maybe mostly bound to proteins

68
Q

calibration with external standard

A

conc against peak area graph

69
Q

adv of external standard

A
  • used when sample does not interfere with analysis
  • simpler to use
  • does not ened reference standard for every sample
70
Q

disadv of external standard

A
  • relatively accurate if have wider range of concentration used to make calibration curve
  • affected by instrumental performance
71
Q

internal standard

A
  • Should be closely related in structure to analyte
  • Should be stable
  • Should be chromatographically resolved from analyte and excipients present
  • Elute as CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to analyte with restrictions above
    • For given weight should produce a detector response similar to that produced by analyte
    • Same time, but more dissolved peak, not overlap same
72
Q

calibration with internal standard

A

conc of unknown = Peak area of INTERNAL x (peak area ratio unknown)/ (peak area ratio of known)

peak area ratio =
(unknown/ INT standard)
(known/ standard)

73
Q

calibration with internal standard

A

conc of unknown = Peak area of INTERNAL x (peak area ratio unknown)/ (peak area ratio of known)

peak area ratio =
(unknown/ INT standard)
(known/ standard)

74
Q

adv of internal standard

A
  • any variations in sample prep or instrument response are corrected by comparing the peak area / height of the analyte to that of the internal standard
  • more accurate and precise measurement
75
Q

disadv of internal standard

A
  • difficulty selecting appropriate internal standard
  • requires reference standard for every sample
76
Q

why we do internal standard

A

If we want to quantify drug substances from biological fluids

Most methods in pharmacopoeia don’t use internal standards, as already use very ‘clean’ analyte VS biological fluids like blood

E.g., TDM (plasma concentration - biological system) need internal standard to check extraction method
