HPLC Method for Propranolol on Primesep 100 by SIELC Technologies


High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Propranolol

Propranolol is an organic compound with the molecular formula C16H21NO2.

Properties:
Appearance: Typically a stable, odorless, white to off-white crystalline powder.

Molecular weight: ~259.34 g/mol

Solubility: Soluble in water and ethanol.

Uses: A non-selective beta-blocker. Used to treat a variety of conditions, both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular. 

Propranolol 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, acetonitrile (MeCN), and sulfuric acid. Detection is performed using UV at 270 nm.

ColumnPrimesep 100, 4.6 x 150 mm, 5 µm, 100 A, dual ended
Mobile PhaseMeCN – 70%
BufferH2SO4 – 0.1%
Flow Rate1.0 ml/min

UV-Vis Spectrum of Propranolol

July 11, 2025
UV-Vis Spectrum of Propranolol. Absorption Maxima: 214 nm, 228 nm, 290 nm.

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.

Propranolol is a synthetic, non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist that is used for the therapy of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, hyperthyroidism, as well as after a heart attack to improve the chance of survival. Dizziness, lightheadedness, or tiredness may occur after the intake of the medication. Primesep 200, a reverse phase column, contains embedded acidic ionizable groups and can retain Propranolol. The method is UV compatible and can be used as a general approach for analyzing similar compounds.
