The properties of pilocarpine include a miotic action, and its chief application is in ophthalmology for lowering the intraocular pressure. For this purpose, buffered isotonic solutions of 0.5~ 5~~ pilocarpine nitrate or hydrochloride are us&. In aqueous solution, however, pilocarpine may be hydrolysed to pilocarpic acid (3) and epimerized to isopilocarpine (2), which, in turn, is hydrolysed to isopilocarpic acid (4) 3* 4. Both hydrolysis and epimerization result in a decrease, in pharmacological activity.To measure the extent of degradation, many methods have been described for the quantitative determination of pilocarpine, but they all sufher from the disadvantage that they do not distinguish between the four compounds (l)-(4). Recently, several separations of pkcarpine from isopilocarpine, based on the use of highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a cation-exchange resin, were published ‘-‘, but pilocarpic acid and isopilocarpic acid co&l not be determined. We report here that a convenient and accurate separation of the four compounds can be achieved by HPLC on a reversed-phase coIunm.
