High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6) and Benfotiamine
Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (also known as Vitamin B6), is a naturally occurring vitamin that can be found in a wide variety of common foods, such as meat, grains, and avocados. Benfotiamine is a synthetic form of Vitamin B1 that has shown early signs of treating nerve damage, Alzheimer’s, alcohol dependence. They can both be found in Milgamma 100 tablets, a medicine prescribed to treat Vitamin B1 and B6 deficiency. These two vitamins can be detected in the low UV regime. Using a Primesep S normal-phase column and a mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a phosphoric acid (H3PO4) buffer, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride and Benfotiamine can be retained, separated, and analyzed. This analysis method can be UV detected at 280 nm.
