TSKgel® TECHNICAL INFORMATION SHEET No. 118 No.11 Simultaneous Analysis of Sulfa Drugs Sulfa drugs are synthetic antibacterial agents that are widely used in the animal industry. On November 29, 2005, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan issued the "Test methods for residual pesticides in foods, feed additives and veterinary drug components (partial revision)" (Shokuan No. 1129002). According to this document, many sulfa drugs are designated as compounds that require testing and standard values have been established. Here, as a mobile phase, formic acid and methanol were used and different sulfa drugs were analyzed simultaneously. Using a TSKgel ODS-100V, 3µm column it is possible to obtain a chromatogram with favorable peaks for highly polar substances such as sulfaguanidine. Figure 1.

A notice issued by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare [Shokuan No. 1129002; "Concurrent test method I for veterinary drugs by HPLC (animal husbandry and fishery)"] lists 16 sulfa drugs and specifies that a quantitative test must be performed by HPLC and a confirmation test must be performed by LC/MS(/MS). With regard to sulfa drug analysis, a past report (TSKgel Technical Information Sheet No. 118) introduced isolation using a UV detector. The present report measured the above-mentioned 16 sulfa drugs and trimethoprim (synthetic antibacterial agent often co-administered with sulfa drugs) using a MS detector. With all sulfa drugs, sharp peaks without tailing were obtained. For all sulfa drugs, quantification was confirmed within a concentration range of 0.02-1.0mg/L.
