Description

General description

Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards

Application

<ul>
<li><strong>HPLC-HESI-MS/MS Analysis of Phenolic Compounds from Cynoglossum tubiflorus Leaf Extracts:</strong> This study demonstrates the utilization of high-purity methanol as a solvent in the extraction and analysis of phenolic compounds, showcasing its role in identifying cytotoxic, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. It also shows effectiveness in reducing Fe³⁺;to Fe²⁺, converting Mo⁶⁺;to Mo⁵⁺, and scavenging free radicals.(Dallali et al., 2024).</li>
<li><strong>Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Using RP-HPLC-PDA:</strong> Methanol is employed ;as a mobile phase in a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection for the monitoring of multiple drugs.; (Hesham et al., 2024).</li>
<li><strong>Chiral Resolution of Cationic Piperazine Derivatives:</strong> Methanol is used in capillary electrophoresis for the chiral resolution of pharmaceutical compounds, demonstrating its utility in ensuring the purity and efficacy of chiral drugs. (Niaei et al., 2024).</li>
<li><strong>Determination of Chemical Components in Endemic Plant Species:</strong> Utilizes methanol in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify and quantify the bioactive compounds in Allium turcicum, showcasing methanol′s role in extracting and analyzing plant metabolites for medicinal potential assessments (Ipek et al., 2024).</li>
<li><strong>Comprehensive Analysis of Carotenoids in Microalgae:</strong> This research uses methanol for the extraction and quantification of lutein and loroxanthin from Scenedesmus obliquus. Methanol′s effectiveness in extracting sensitive compounds underlines its importance in nutritional and biochemical research (Erdogan et al., 2024).</li>
