Abstract:
Methyl and propyl parahydroxybenzoate (MPHB, PPHB), phenylephrine hydrochloride (PE) and chlorphenamine maleate (CPM) are often combined as ingredients in cough-syrups. Due to distinct chemical structures, pKa values among other chemical properties are different. This may result in a particular chromatographic behaviour on ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (LC) systems. A face-centred central composite design was applied to study the impact of four LC mobile phase parameters and parameter interactions on the retention of these four compounds. The mobile phase parameters studied…
