The influence of ionising radiation on physicochemical properties of doripenem in solid state was studied. No changes for doripenem irradiated with a dose of 25 kGy, required to attain sterility, was observed by FT-IR and chromatographic methods, although the presence of free radicals (7.7*1017 radicals/g) was detected by EPR. The antibacterial activity of doripenem irradiated with a dose of 25 kGy was unchanged. Solid doripenem has proven to be very stable on irradiation, and irradiation has been found to be a suitable method for its sterilization.
One of the best sterilization methods for chemically unstable drugs, such as carbapenems, is irradiation. The chemical and physical properties of radiosterilized imipenem and cilastatin were analyzed using spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods. Unstable free radicals were presented in samples after irradiation; their mean lifetime was 142±64 h. The antibacterial activity of cefozopran hydrochloride irradiated with a dose of 25 kGy changed for Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. Imipenem and cilastatin in the solid state are not resistant to radiation sterilization; therefore, this method cannot be used for sterilization of this compound.
A stability-indicating ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) with DAD detector was developed and validated for the simultaneously determination of Δ9-tetahydrocannabitol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), Δ9-tetahydrocannabinolic acid (THC-COOH) and cannabidiolic acid (CBD-COOH) in extracts of Cannabis sativa L.. The separation was achieved on a Kinetex, C18, 100 x 2.1 mm, 2.6 µm. The gradient separation was started with mixture of methanol and 12mM ammonium acetate in ratio 75:25 (%/%). The methanol was increased to 100% from 0.0 min to 10.0 min, then maintained 100% for the next 1.0 min, then decreased to 75% from 11.0 min to 15.0 min and held at 75% from 15.0 min to 20.0 min. The injection volume was 5.0 µL and the wavelength of detection was controlled at 228 nm.
The influence of ionizing radiation on the physicochemical properties of panipenem in solid state was studied. In the first part of our studies, we evaluated the possibility of applying radiosterilization to obtain sterile panipenem. Spectroscopic (FT-IR, Raman), chromatography (HPLC and HPLC-MS) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) studies have shown that irradiation of ertapenem with the 25 kGy, the dose required to achieve sterility, does not change the physicochemical properties of the studied compound. The antimicrobial activity of panipenem irradiated with the dose of 25 kGy was reduced for three species. It was confirmed that the decrease in antimicrobial activity might be related to isomerization of panipenem.
