Description

· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Pyrazine , 2-Aminopyrazine

Pyrazine is an organic compound with C₄H₄N₂ chemical formula. It is known for its sweet and nutty aroma, but is usually used as a therapeutic agent in several drugs. Derivatives of it are also said to have anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.

Aminopyrazine, also known as 2-aminopyrazine and pyrazinamide, is a Pyrazine derivative with C₄H₅N₃ chemical formula. It is typically used as a building block in chemical synthesis and is found in pharmaceuticals, especially  in antiviral drugs and other agrochemicals. Structure wise, it is a pyrazine ring with an attached amine group.

Pyrazine , 2-Aminopyrazine can be retained and analyzed using the SHARC 1 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a formic acid buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
