Abstract

Antimicrobials have unquestionable importance in the control of many diseases; however the constant concern with evolution of resistant microorganisms is increasing. Ertapenem sodium is a beta-lactam antibiotic of the carbapenem class that has a broader activity spectrum than most other ²-lactam antimicrobials and is more resistant to the enzyme ²-lactamase, which is the main mechanism of resistance of many bacteria. The progress of microbial resistance to existing antibiotics is alarming. Thus we need to preserve antimicrobials that still have activity against these pathogens. In this context, quality control has a key role to ensure the correct dosage, by contributing preventively to minimize the development of resistant microorganisms. Study of the physicochemical characteristics of the drug and quantification of the content of the active substance are of fundamental importance for the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the quality of the product sold. Currently, pharmacists have concentrated their focus and creative energies toward minimizing the environmental impact of their craft. Ertapenem is the polar and ionizable compound and therefore it has little retention on reversed phase LC, even using highly aqueous mobile phase, which is worrying because traditional C18 columns can result dewetting in this condition. Thus develop a method for Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography - HILIC is the most suitable for this drug. But traditional methods in HILIC are necessary the use of highly organic mobile phase, usually an amount exceeding 80% acetonitrile is necessary. Develop a method for HILIC that is friendly to the environment in the area of green chemistry is challenging, but it is fully possible. (AU)
