HPLC Method for Analysis of Nicotinic Acid (Vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) on Primesep 100 Column by SIELC Technologies

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Nicotinic Acid (Vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5).

Nicotinic acid, also known as niacin and vitamin B3, is a water-soluble B vitamin with C₆H₅NO₂ molecular formula. It is an essential nutrient that is crucial for energy production. Nicotinic acid is commonly used as a dietary supplement to treat vitamin B3 deficiency, and it’s also prescribed in higher doses to help lower cholesterol levels. It works by dilating blood vessels, which can lead to a flushing sensation, hence it is sometimes referred to as “flushing niacin.” You can find detailed UV spectra of Niacin and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.

Pantothenic Acid, also known as vitamin B5, is an essential nutrient with the chemical formula C19H17NO5. It plays a crucial role in energy and coenzyme A production. That energy and coenzyme are used for synthesis and degradation of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. You can find detailed UV spectra of Nicotinic Acid (Vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.

Nicotinic Acid (Vitamin B3), Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) can be retained and analyzed using the Primesep 100 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) and water with a sulfuric acid buffer. Detection is performed using UV.

UV-Vis Spectrum of Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5).

If you are looking for optimized HPLC method to analyze Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) check our HPLC Applications library

For optimal results in HPLC analysis, it is recommended to measure absorbance at a wavelength that matches the absorption maximum of the compound(s) being analyzed. The UV spectrum shown can assist in selecting an appropriate wavelength for your analysis. Please note that certain mobile phases and buffers may block wavelengths below 230 nm, rendering absorbance measurement at these wavelengths ineffective. If detection below 230 nm is required, it is recommended to use acetonitrile and water as low UV-transparent mobile phases, with phosphoric acid and its salts, sulfuric acid, and TFA as buffers.
For some compounds, the UV-Vis Spectrum is affected by the pH of the mobile phase. The spectra presented here are measured with an acidic mobile phase that has a pH of 3 or lower.

This analysis was done with the mobile phase made of 40% acetonitrile and 60% water as well as a sulfuric acid buffer. The compound was diluted with a mixture of water and acetonitrile.

HPLC Analysis of Active Drug in a Formulation

October 4, 2010


HPLC method for separation of active ingredients of drug/supplemental composition was developed on an Obelisc R trimodal HPLC column. Compounds are retained by combination of reversed-phase, cation-exchange and anion-exchange mechanisms. Compounds are well separated, and method can be used for quantitation of pyridoxine, ascorbic acid, niacinamide, pantothenic acid, caffeine and riboflavin in a mixture or as separate compounds in various complex mixtures. Various detection techniques can be applied for quantitation (ELSD, UV, LC/MS, Corona). This HPLC method can be adopted as general approach for analysis of active drug components in various formulations.

HPLC Method for Separation of Vitamins Group B such as Nicotinic Acid, Pyridoxine, Niacinamide, Pantothenic Acid, Riboflavin on Obelisc N Column

August 22, 2008

Separation of vitamins group B is achieved on Obelisc N column in HILIC mixed-mode. Vitamins of this group are different in polarity and ionic properties. Retention and separation is achieved by optimization of amount of ACN, buffer and buffer pH. Combination of UV and ELSD detection is used to monitor HPLC separation. B vitamins are water-soluble vitamins that play an important role in cell metabolism. Supplements containing all six are generally referred to as a vitamin B complex. Individual B vitamin supplements are referred to by the specific name of each vitamin. This method can be used to analyze individual B vitamins as well as vitamin B complex. Isolation of impurities as well as degradation products is possible by preparative chromatography.
