V. Harang et D. Westerlund, Optimization of an HPLC method for the separation of erythromycin and related compounds using factorial design, CHROMATOGR, 50(9-10), 1999, pp. 525-531
An HPLC method based on a Prodigy ODS2 column with a mobile phase containin
g phosphate buffer, tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate (TBA) and an aceton
itrile gradient was optimized for the determination of erythromycin in dela
yed-release capsules. A central composite face-centered (CCF) factorial des
ign was used with the factors pH, concentration of TEA and gradient slope.
The method could separate erythromycin A from 7 related erythromycins.
