HPLC analyses of pharmaceutical dosage forms containing analgesics and
related compounds (acetylsalicyclic acid, paracetamol, propyphenazone
, caffeine and chlorpheniramine) were performed on C-18 and cyano colu
mns under reversed-phase conditions. The performance of the methods wa
s enhanced by introducing postcolumn on-line photochemical derivatizat
ion in combination with a diode-array detection. The column effluents
were subjected on-line to UV irradiation (254 nm) and the characterist
ic photo-induced spectral modifications were useful for the unambiguou
s identification of the various analgesic compounds. The proposed HPLC
methods were successfully applied to the analysis of commercially ava
ilable analgesic dosage forms.
