title: Separation by high-performance liquid chromatography of penicillins with C4 to C10 aliphatic side chains.
abstract: A suitable and rapid method for the simultaneous determination of different aliphatic penicillins is described. Butyryl-, pentanoyl-, hexanoyl-, heptanoyl-, octanoyl-, nonanoyl- and decanoylpenicillin can be completely separated by high-performance liquid chromatography using an isocratic elution mode (50 mM H2KPO4, pH 5.0:methanol, 45:55 v/v). Under these conditions, retention times for C4 to C10 aliphatic side-chain penicillins were 2.5, 2.8, 4.1, 5.8, 8.9, 15.3, and 28.2 min. The benzylpenicillin retention time was 3.3 min.
