Question

Transcribed Image Text:Liquid chromatography has been used to track the concentration of remdesivir
(a broad-spectrum antiviral drug, structure shown at right) in COVID patients
undergoing experimental treatments.
Intensity

preparation:
HN
CN
HO
OH
NH2
Remdesivir (RDV) stock solution (5000 µg/mL) was prepared by
dissolving RDV drug powder using the mixture of DMSO: MeOH (30:70
v/v). The RDV working standard solutions for calibration and quality
controls were prepared using methanol in concentrations of 100, 10, 1,
0.1, 0.01 µg/mL. 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, 1000, and 5000 ng/mL sample solutions
were prepared freshly by spiking calibration standard solutions into the blank human plasma samples
for method calibration.
a) What type of calibration method is being described? Why do you think the authors chose this
method as opposed to another?
b) Based on the details provided in part a, describe an appropriate method blank for this analysis.

The authors provide the following details regarding the chromatographic analysis of remdesivir:
A C18 column (150 x 4.6 mm, 3 um stationary
phase particles) was utilized for the separation
of RDV. The mobile phase A used was 0.05%
(v/v) formic acid in ultrapure water, and mobile
phase B was 100% ACN with isocratic elution
(A: B) 52:48 % with the total analysis time of
10 min. The column flow rate was set at 0.5
mL/min with 35 °C as the ideal column
temperature, and the sample injection volume
was 5 μL.

c) What is one parameter you could change to decrease the retention time of RDV? Explain the
theory that supports why this would work.
d) What is one parameter you could change that would decrease the peak width of RDV?
