Smith et al (76,773 analyzed hydralazine in a drug mixture containing hydralazine hydrochloride, hydrochlorothiazide, and an impurity derived from the latter. The column was 1 m x 2.1 mm (ID) stainless steel, packed with a strong anion exchanger on 30 Jm Zipax . The mobile phase was pH 9 2 borate buffer containing 0.005M sodium sulfate (5 methanol), at 1.7 ml per minute. Detection was by ultraviolet absorption at 25 nm. 

Step 3 By the rule of six capsule size 4 can hold a total powder quantity of about 130 mg. Considering this amount, the total amount of powder for twelve capsules of size 4 is 1560 mg. The amount of lactose that should be added for twelve capsules is 1080 mg (calculated as 1560 mg - 480 mg = 1080 mg). Therefore, weigh 1080 mg of lactose and add to the drug mixture by geometric dilution. As a confirmation of the size, fill one or two capsules of size 4 with 130 mg of the mixture and determine the appropriateness. If the capsule size is correct, punch out the remaining capsules after forming a cake on a powder paper or an ointment tile. 

In the preparation of capsules, various colored empty gelatin capsule shells may be used to hold the powdered drug mixture. Many commercial capsules are prepared with capsule bodies of one color and a different colored capsule cap, resulting in a two-colored capsule. This makes certain commercial products even more readily identifiable than solid colored capsules. For powdered drugs, dispensed as such or compressed into tablets, a generally larger proportion of dye is required (about 0.1%) to achieve the desired hue than with liquid preparations. 

Ciprofloxacin (Bayer Corporation) is often loaded at a D/L ratio of 0.3mol mol. After preparation of a ciprofloxacin standard solution (4mM in water), 5 pmol of lipid and 1.5 pmol of ciprofloxacin are pipetted into a glass test tube (or plastic Ependorf tube), adding saline to give a final volume of 1 mL (5 mM lipid concentration). This solution is incubated at 65°C for 30 minutes, with aliquots (50-100 pL) withdrawn at appropriate time points (0, 5, 15, and 30 minutes) and applied to a spin column [centrifuge at 2000 rpm (x670g) for two minutes]. An aliquot (50 pL) of the initial lipid-drug mixture is saved for determination of initial D/L.

In the preparation of adhesive patches by direct milling on a two-roll mill, the drug and the bioadhesive are homogeneously mixed with or without the aid of a solvent. The polymer/drug mixture may then be compressed to its desired thiekness and patches of appropriate size may be cut or punched out. The polymer/drug mixture prepared with a solvent may require an additional drying step by air or in an oven.

Preparative fractionation of lOOmg sample of HPD and the product of the DP-HP synthesis were carried out on a 5x30cm Sephadex LH-20 column (Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ.). The porphyrin components were first dissolved in 40ml of tetrahydrofuran-methanol-5mM aqueous phosphate buffer, pH 7, (2 1 1), and subsequently eluted with the same solvent. The use of this methodology for the isolation of the tumor-localizing fraction of HPD from other porphyrin components present in the drug mixture has been discussed in detail in the literature.(11) The component of HPD which elutes very close to the void volume of the LH-20 column has been characterized as the tumor-localizing fraction of HPD.

Figure 9 shows a commercial drug mixture in human urine underivatized and derivatized with methyl iodide. In Figure 9a the propoxyphene and methamphetamine are not observed from the urine. However, upon derivatization, molecular ions from both can be seen and the ion intensity from methadone and quinine have been increased by a factor of ten.
