Gd complexes are the most widely used contrast agents in nuclear magnetic resonance. Furthermore, our research group has demonstrated the potential of liposomes containing Gd-DTPA-BMA for cancer therapy. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a chemometric-assisted method by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) for determination of Gd-DTPA-BMA in liposomes. The chromatographic conditions obtained were: Sequant® ZIC®-HILIC Merck (150 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μm, 100 Å) column, mobile phase composed of 5 mmol L-1 ACN/NH 4 FA, pH 4.5 (60:40 v/v) at 0.6 mL min-1 , injection volume of 20 μL, temperature of 30 °C, and detection at 210 nm. The linear range was of 40 to 120 nmol mL-1. The use of chemometrics allowed obtaining optimal chromatographic parameters, in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, resolution, and asymmetry.
