Determination of Principal Component and Related Substances in Chlorhexidine Gluconate Solution by HPLC
Objective To establish a high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)method for determining the principal component and related substances in Chlorhexidine Gluconate Solution.Methods The chromatographic column was the Capcell PAK C18 column(250 mm × 4.6 mm,5 μm),the mobile phase was sodium octanesulfonate solution-acetonitrile(gradient elution),the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min,the detection wavelength was 254 nm,the column temperature was 35℃,and the injection volume was 20 μL.Results The linear ranges of chlorhexidine gluconate and specific impurity p-chloroaniline were 0.050-0.15 mg/mL and 0.001 0-0.010 mg/mL(r=0.999 8,0.999 9)respectively.The limits of quantification of the above two components were 0.7,0.5 μg/mL,and the limits of detection were 0.3,0.2 μg/mL respectively.The RSDs of precision,stability and repeatability tests were all lower than 2.0%.The average recovery rates of the above two components were 99.50%and 101.71%with RSDs of 0.45%and 0.92%(n=6)respectively.The average contents of chlorhexidine gluconate and p-chloroaniline in three batches of samples were 20.33%and 0.11%respectively,with an average total impurity of 2.20%.Conclusion The established method is easy,precise,stable and repeatable,which can be used for the determination of principal component and related substances in Chlorhexidine Gluconate Solution.
