High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Minocycline hydrochloride
Minocycline hydrochloride is a tetracycline antibiotic with C23H27N3O7 • HCl [XH2O] molecular formula. It is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, acne, and sexually transmitted infections. Despite that, it is generally less preferred as a medication to tetracycline doxycycline.
Minocycline can be retained on the Primesep 100 mixed-mode column using an isocratic analytical method with a simple mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN), and sulphuric acid (H2SO4) buffer. The analysis method can be UV detected at 270 nm.
