摘要
Static headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC) with immiscible binary solvents is described to quantitatively determine the residual ethanol used to seal the hard gelatin capsules by liquid encapsulated and microspray sealing (LEMS; cfs 1200, Greenwood, SC, USA). The effects of decane, dodecane, heptane, 0.1 M HCl, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and dimethyl sulfoxide on the method sensitivity are compared. It is observed that the ethanol headspace concentrations can be increased by fourfolds when aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents are added into the aqueous sample solutions in a HS vial. In addition, a mathematic model based on the concentration equilibriums of liquid–liquid and liquid–gas phases is derived to quantitatively describe the ethanol headspace concentrations versus the volumes of the aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents. The proposed model fits well to the experimental data. The impacts of the oven temperatures and vial equilibration times on the ethanol headspace concentrations are also investigated. Furthermore, the potential interferences of the capsule placebo and hard gelatin capsule shells on the selectivity and quantitation of the method are discussed. The linearity is validated from 5 μg/mL to 500 μg/mL. The limit of quantitation is 5 μg/mL. The accuracy is determined to be 100.8 ± 6%. Finally, this method is successfully used to determine the residual ethanol in the sealed capsules of 5 mg and 10 mg developmental Drug A, and 100 mg and 200 mg developmental Drug B.
