The published data on the use of HPLC in studies on the chemistry of polyene macrolide antibiotics are summarized and the conditions for HPLC, the use of various sorbents, the impact of the ratio of the organic solvents and buffer solutions, etc. are discussed comparatively. Several aspects of the use of HPLC are indicated i.e. the identification of polyene antibiotics (heptaenes, pentaenes and hexaenes), the standardization and investigation of the antibiotic homogeneity and quality, the purification of the antibiotics and the determination of the amphotericin B content in tissues and plasma. |
