A method for the determination of amizone and amixin in the same sample and in their mixture with antibiotics (ceftriaxone, tetracycline, ampicillin and levofloxacin) was developed using reversed-phase highperformance liquid chromatography equipped with a photodiode array detector. A SunFire C18 column, a mobile phase consisting of sodium perchlorate buffer (pH = 2.5) and acetonitrile (75:25), at a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min, was used. The analytes were identified at 205 and 265 nm. The specificity, linearity, precision parameters, LOD and LOQ were evaluated during the validation of the methodology, and the correlation coefficients of amizone and amixin were 0.9992 and 0.9998, respectively. This method can also be used for the determination of amizone and amixin and their presence in a mixture with antibiotics in the environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
