title: Quantitative GLC determination of conjugated estrogens in raw materials and finished dosage forms.
abstract: A GLC method is described for the quantitative analysis of conjugated estrogens. The procedure was used for the analysis of various estrogen mixtures obtained from formulations containing estrogen sodium sulfate salts. The method involves slurrying or dissolving a portion of the formulation pH 5.2 buffer, hydrolysis with sulfatase enzyme, extraction with ethylene dichloride, anf finally, GLC separation and quantitation of the corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers on a 2.5% diethylene glycol succinate column.
