In the previous paper of this series, the results showed that the amounts of HA were stable in O/W emulsion, but not in W/O emulsion on account of the decomposition.
In present paper, the authors investigated the structures of decomposition products (n
1, n
2) of HA in W/O emulsion (at 40°C).
To identify n
1 and n
2, these were isolated from emulsion by high speed liquid chromatography (HSLC).
However, the decomposition rate of HA in emulsion was slow; besides, the amounts of n
1 and n
2 were small.
It was known that the decomposition of HA in 1-hexadecanol was more rapid in comparison with W/O emulsion (Naito
et al.).
Therefore, HA was decomposed in 1-hexadecanol at 100°C.
Four or five pieces of the decomposition products of HA in 1-hexadecanol were observed, and the decomposion products (n
1′, n
2′) of the same retention time (
tR) as n
1 and n
2 in emulsion were isolated and collected from 1-haxadecanol by HSLC.
It was determined that n
1′ was the same compounds as n
1 and n
2′ was the same one as n
2 by the method of HSLC spiking.
IR and MS spectra of n
1′ and n
2′ were determined.
Spectral patterns of n
1′ were coincident with pure hydrocortisone and these of n
2′ were coincident with synthesized 17-ketosteroid.
It was identified from these analytical results that the decomposition products of HA in emulsion were 11β, 17α, 21-trihydroxy-4-pregnene-3, 20-dione and 11 β-hydroxy-4-androstene-3, 17-dione.
