RESUMO
Six insulin analogues with high degree of chemical similarity were separated using Capillary Electrophoresis (CE). In order to improve the method performance, optimization and development the Design of Experiment (DoE) approach has been used and this strategy provided related statistical models. This methodology delivered the information regarding the influence of main factors in the method development and explained the interaction of relevant factors in terms of shortening the analysis time. The response surface methodology (RSM) design employing Central Composite Face Centered (CCF) Design analyzed the effect of the most influencing factors, including background electrolyte pH and concentration, applied voltage and temperature. This study demonstrated that the approach of analyzing the influence of each parameter in the migration behavior of analyzed peptides was capable to assess the best electrophoretic conditions for the separation of insulin analogues.

Two capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods have been developed for the separation of charge and mass variants of human insulin and its recombinant analogue lispro. Since the capillary zone (CZE) and Capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) are based on different principles of separation, they can be used to detect different impurities of insulin and its analogues. Application of CZE enabled a separation of compounds with different m/z ratio, therefore CZE is a suitable method for the separation of deamidation products of insulin. After the optimization, this method is validated according ICH requirements. CGE method was used for the separation of higher molecular weight transformation products. Experimental data have shown that CZE and CGE are simple, fast and robust methods which could be used as a routine analysis for quality control of insulin formulations.

A fast and simple liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry method for determination of indapamide in human whole blood was developed and validated. The sample extraction of indapamide from human whole blood was achieved using automated solid-phase extraction. Chromatographic separation was performed on Kinetex C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm particle size) using acetonitrile and 2 mm ammonium formate in ratio 90:10 (v/v) as a mobile phase. The mass spectrometer was operated in the multiple reaction monitoring mode using positive electrospray ionization for indapamide and the internal standard (zolpidem tartarate). The total run time was 2.5 min. The present method was found to be linear in the concentration range of 1-50 ng/mL with the coefficient of determination 0.9987. The absolute recoveries of indapamide were 90.51-93.90%. The method was validated according the recommendations for validation of bioanalytical methods of European Medicines Agency guideline and was successfully used to analyze human whole blood samples for application in a pharmacokinetic study.

The excessive and continuously growing interest in the simultaneous determination of poppy alkaloids imposes the development and optimization of convenient high-throughput methods for the assessment of the qualitative and quantitative profile of alkaloids in poppy straw. Systematic optimization of two chromatographic methods (gas chromatography (GC)/flame ionization detector (FID)/mass spectrometry (MS) and reversed-phase (RP)-high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/diode array detector (DAD)) for the separation of alkaloids from Papaver somniferum L. (Papaveraceae) was carried out. The effects of various conditions on the predefined chromatographic descriptors were investigated using chemometrics. A full factorial linear design of experiments for determining the relationship between chromatographic conditions and the retention behavior of the analytes was used. Central composite circumscribed design was utilized for the final method optimization. By conducting the optimization of the methods in very rational manner, a great deal of excessive and unproductive laboratory research work was avoided. The developed chromatographic methods were validated and compared in line with the resolving power, sensitivity, accuracy, speed, cost, ecological aspects, and compatibility with the poppy straw extraction procedure. The separation of the opium alkaloids using the GC/FID/MS method was achieved within 10 min, avoiding any derivatization step. This method has a stronger resolving power, shorter analysis time, better cost/effectiveness factor than the RP-HPLC/DAD method and is in line with the "green trend" of the analysis. The RP-HPLC/DAD method on the other hand displayed better sensitivity for all tested alkaloids. The proposed methods provide both fast screening and an accurate content assessment of the six alkaloids in the poppy samples obtained from the selection program of Papaver strains.
