“…Ibuprofen and omeprazole have aromatic rings, ether, amine and carboxylic groups, responsible for various interactions with the PFP groups (Dougherty, 2007;Martinez & Iverson, 2012). The retention mechanism in reverse-phase chromatography involves various interactions such as π-π interactions, hydrogen bondings, hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic interactions (Aboul-Enein & Ali, 2001b;Gao, Chou, & Auerbach, 1993;Imai, Inoue, Nakanishi, & Kitaura, 2009;Mohan, Vijayalakshmi, Koga, & Suresh, 2010;Ottiger, Pfaffen, Leist, & Leutwyler, 2009;Scrutton & Raine, 1996). This order of elution is very important to predict the mechanism of the separation of these drugs on the reported stationary phase.…”
