A. Farina et al., ANALYSIS OF FCE-23762 (METHOXYMORPHOLINODOXORUBICIN HYDROCHLORIDE), ANEW ANTITUMOR AGENT, BY HPTLC AND SCANNING DENSITOMETRY, Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, 11(11-12), 1993, pp. 1215-1218
A simple, rapid and reproducible high-performance thin-layer chromatog
raphic (HPTLC) method using UV or fluorescence scanning densitometry h
as been developed for the assay and purity control of methoxymorpholin
odoxorubicin hydrochloride (FCE 23762). With a mobile phase of chlorof
orm-methanol-acetic acid (93:6:1, v/v/v) and a silica gel plate, all p
otential impurities were separated from the main component and from ea
ch other. Detection limits at a signal to-noise ratio of 2:1 were a fe
w nanograms for UV detection and <1 ng for fluorescence emission. The
RSD values for the examined compounds were all <3%.
