Retention and Peak Shape for Highly Polar Compound

As a highly hydrophilic compound, Lisinopril is not well-suited to Reversed Phase Methods. The USP assay method for Lisinopril uses a highly Aqueous Mobile Phase (96% 2.76 g / L Monobasic Sodium Phosphate adjusted to pH 5.0 / 4% Acetonitrile) in Reversed Phase with an L7 Column.

The Peak efficiency was found to be significantly low when using the USP method. In this method, hydrophilic retention is readily achieved (see Figure) with a symmetric Peak shape. The analyte retention shows good repeatability, as shown in the five-run overlay.
