 High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Prednisone, Prednisolone, Methylprednisolone

All three compounds have potent anti-inflammatory effects, making them valuable in treating conditions where inflammation plays a role.

Prednisone:

  • Mechanism of Action: Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid that mimics the action of cortisol, a natural steroid produced by the adrenal glands. It primarily exerts its effects by binding to glucocorticoid receptors and regulating gene expression.
  • Medical Uses: It is commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disorders, allergic reactions, and certain cancers.

Prednisolone:

  • Derived Form: Prednisolone is the active form of prednisone. When prednisone is ingested, the liver converts it into prednisolone.
  • Mechanism of Action: Similar to prednisone, it has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.

Methylprednisolone:

  • Potency: Methylprednisolone is considered to be more potent than prednisone.
  • Medical Uses: It is used in various conditions, including severe allergic reactions, inflammatory conditions, and as a part of immunosuppressive regimens.

Corticosteroids can be retained, separated, and analyzed using a Primesep B mixed-mode stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and sulfuric acid as a buffer. Detection is achieved using UV at 245 nm

HPLC Method of Analysis for Dexamethasone and Prednisolone

June 23, 2020

View on hplc.cloud

Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that is used as a replacement of the natural hormone produced by adrenal glands when the body can’t produce enough on its own.  It has also been found to reduce deaths among the critically ill patients with the COVID-19.  Prednisolone is another corticosteroid used to treat a variety of inflammatory conditions and has a similar structure to dexamethasone.  Both steroids can be retained and separated in HPLC using Newcrom A mixed-mode column with the mobile phase consisting of either acetonitrile (ACN) or methanol (MeOH) and water with formic acid buffer.  Methanol offers longer retention time compared to acetonitrile.  UV detection at 275nm.

HPLC Method for Analysis of Prednisolone

May 3, 2016

Chr_1058




Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties. It can bind to and activate specific nuclear receptors, resulting in an altered gene expression and inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine production. Prednisolone is used to treat different conditions (blood problems, arthritis, immune system disorders). Primesep 200, a reverse phase column, contains embedded acidic ionizable groups and can retain Ofloxacin. The method is UV compatible and can be used as a general approach for analyzing similar compounds.

Application Column

Primesep 200

The Primesep family of mixed-mode columns offers a wide variety of stationary phases, boasting unprecedented selectivity in the separation of a broad array of chemical compounds across multiple applications. Corresponding Primesep guard columns, available with all stationary phases, do not require holders. SIELC provides a method development service available to all customers.

HPLC Separation of Prednisolone, Atrolactic Acid, and Ibuprofen on Mixed-Mode Column

October 4, 2010


Prednisolone, atrolactic acid, and ibuprofen were separated in one HPLC run on an Obelisc R HPLC column. Obelisc R columns have C12 carbon chain and basic and acidic groups on the surface of silica gel. Compounds are separated by combination of reversed-phase, cation-exchange, and anion-exchange mechanisms. Obelisc R column can be used for retention and separation of acidic and basic hydrophilic compounds, acidic and basic hydrophobic compounds, and neutral compounds. Elution is monitored by common detection techniques like UV, ELSD, CAD and LC/MS.

Application Column

Obelisc R

SIELC has developed the Obelisc™ columns, which are mixed-mode and utilize Liquid Separation Cell technology (LiSC™). These cost-effective columns are the first of their kind to be commercially available and can replace multiple HPLC columns, including reversed-phase (RP), AQ-type reversed-phase, polar-embedded group RP columns, normal-phase, cation-exchange, anion-exchange, ion-exclusion, and HILIC (Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography) columns. By controlling just three orthogonal method parameters - buffer concentration, buffer pH, and organic modifier concentration - users can adjust the column properties with pinpoint precision to separate complex mixtures.

Effect of Buffer and Chemistry of Column Stationary Phase on Resolution of Neutral Compounds

April 27, 2010


In this application, 6 various mixed-mode phases were screened for separation of two neutral compounds. Experiments were conducted on four cation-exchange mixed-mode HPLC columns (Primesep P, Primesep 200, Primesep 100, and Primesep C) and two anion-exchange mixed-mode columns (Primesep D and Primesep B2). All phases showed different selectivity towards HPLC separation of prednisolone and glucose pentaacetate. Application shows that mixed-mode chromatography is a valuable tool in separation of neutral compounds by reversed-phase mechanism. Compounds were monitored by ELSD.
