HPLC Method for Analysis of Prednisone on Primesep B by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Prednisone
Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid drug that belongs to the class of glucocorticoids. It is a prodrug, meaning that it is biologically inactive until it undergoes metabolic activation in the liver, where it is converted into its active form, prednisolone. Both prednisone and prednisolone have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant properties and are used for various medical conditions.
- Anti-inflammatory: Prednisone is used to reduce inflammation in various conditions such as arthritis, allergic reactions, and inflammatory bowel diseases.
- Immunosuppression: It is employed to suppress the immune system in conditions like organ transplantation and certain autoimmune diseases.
- Respiratory Conditions: Prednisone is often prescribed for respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Prednisone can be retained, 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 245 nm
