Simple Methods Without the Use of Ion-Pairing Agents
Unlike the USP assay method, Ion Pair Agents are not needed in this application. Both figures show how good Peak symmetry can be achieved either in the Reversed Phase (RP, Figure A) or Aqueous Normal Phase (ANP, Figure B) mode with only Formic Acid as the Mobile Phase additive.
The ability to perform the assay in either the RP or ANP mode is highly beneficial for development of orthogonal analytical.

Notes: Fluoxetine is a widely prescribed anti-depressant which acts by selective inhibition of presynaptic Serotonin reuptake. In addition, Fluoxetine can also act as a non-competitive antagonist of Nicotinic Acetylcholine receptors. Sold as a Racemic mixture, Fluoxetine’s R and S forms show similar efficacy in vivo, and its binding affinity has been shown to be largely stereo-independent.
