· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a synthetic peptide that functions as a dual agonist of the GLP-1 and GIP receptors. It is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. By mimicking the actions of both glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), tirzepatide enhances insulin secretion, reduces blood sugar levels, promotes satiety, and aids in weight loss.
Tirzepatide can be retained and analyzed using the Solid-Core Primesep SB stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes a gradient method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and Ammonium formate. Detection was performed using UV absorption at 280 nm. Mass spectrometric detection was carried out in ESI-SIM mode, monitoring the ions [M+3H]³⁺ at m/z 1606
