Micellar electrokinetic chromatography of scopolamine-related anticholinergics.
A simple micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) method is described for the separation of scopolamine N-oxide hydrobromide (SO), scopolamine hydrobromide (SH), scopolamine N-methylbromide (SM) and scopolamine N-butylbromide (SB), and for the quantitation of SH, SM and SB (using SO as an internal standard). The analysis of these drugs was performed in a phosphate buffer (30 mM; pH 7.00) with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (30 mM) as an anionic surfactant. Several parameters affecting the separation of the drugs were studied, including the concentrations of the buffer and SDS. The stability of the drugs in the phosphate buffer (pH 7.00) was also examined. Partial application of the method to the determination of scopolamine N-butylbromide in tablets proved to be feasible.
