An optimized High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method was developed using an Agilent Extend C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) at 25 °C. The mobile phase consisted of formic acid and ethanol in isocratic mode, with a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1, and detection was performed at 253 nm. The spectrophotometric method involved a comprehensive evaluation of AA’s spectral properties in various solvents, with ultrapure water providing the most suitable spectra for analysis at 253 nm. Both methods were validated according to ICH guidelines, demonstrating selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, detection and quantification limits, and robustness, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.999 across the 5–30 μg mL−1 concentration range. Comparative statistical analysis using Student’s t-test and Fisher’s F-test showed no significant differences between the two methods. The environmental impact of both methods was assessed using AGREE and GAPI software, confirming their sustainability.

Introduction</h2><div class='html-p'>In the face of today’s growing environmental concerns, the shift towards more sustainable analytical methodologies is paramount. This trend holds particular relevance for liquid chromatography techniques, which are widely used but often lack alignment with green chemistry principles. Specifically, principles 1, 5, 6, 11, and 12 of green chemistry are pertinent to analytical methods. These principles advocate for safer chemistry to minimize waste, energy efficiency, real-time analysis to prevent pollution, and accident prevention [<a href="#B1-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">1</a>]. When developing a new analytical method for detecting a specific analyte, two crucial factors must be addressed. First, the method’s metrological value must be validated to ensure accuracy, precision, and reproducibility. Second, environmental sustainability must be prioritized by incorporating safer, less harmful chemicals and processes, and adhere to the guidelines for green chemistry. The application of these principles is critical yet still underutilized in many fields, including pharmaceutical analysis [<a href="#B2-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">2</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) remains a cornerstone technology in pharmaceutical quality control, owing to its robust and reliable performance. Traditionally, reverse-phase HPLC utilizes a polar mobile phase combined with a hydrophobic stationary phase. The mobile phase often consists of a mixture of water, modified with additives, and organic solvents like acetonitrile or methanol. In reverse phase separation mode, mobile phases primarily composed of water and aqueous buffers may be utilized, depending on the analyte’s solubility. However, using only water and aqueous buffers in the mobile phase can lead to prolonged analysis times. Consequently, mobile phases that combine aqueous buffers with organic modifiers are preferred for more efficient separation. These organic solvents are preferred due to their favorable chromatographic characteristics, such as miscibility with water, low viscosity, and chemical stability, which ensure high-quality analytical performance [<a href="#B3-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">3</a>]. Despite these advantages, both acetonitrile and methanol pose significant environmental and health risks. Acetonitrile is highly volatile, flammable, and toxic, while methanol, though less toxic and biodegradable, is still classified as hazardous [<a href="#B4-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">4</a>]. The widespread use of these solvents in HPLC has resulted in substantial amounts of waste, leading to significant environmental and disposal challenges [<a href="#B5-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">5</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>As HPLC usage expands, so does the generation of solvent waste, amplifying the need for more sustainable approaches. This necessity has pushed researchers toward the development of greener analytical methods, focusing on the reduction or elimination of toxic chemicals in favor of safer, environmentally benign alternatives. One such alternative is ethanol, which has emerged as a promising candidate for use in green HPLC methods. Ethanol’s lower toxicity, biodegradability, and cost-effectiveness make it an attractive option, particularly for laboratories with limited resources or those in developing regions [<a href="#B6-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">6</a>]. Moreover, ethanol offers comparable chromatographic performance to acetonitrile and methanol, exhibiting similar selectivity and retention times, making it a viable green alternative without compromising analytical efficiency [<a href="#B7-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">7</a>]. Additionally, the eluent strengths for a C18 column are comparable: acetonitrile and ethanol both have strengths of 3.1, while methanol has a strength of 1.0 [<a href="#B8-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">8</a>]. These properties further substantiate ethanol’s potential as a substitute for methanol and acetonitrile in HPLC applications.</div><div class='html-p'>However, the implementation of ethanol in HPLC is not without its challenges. Ethanol has a higher ultraviolet (UV) cutoff value than acetonitrile and methanol, which can lead to increased background noise and reduced sensitivity in UV detection, particularly in gradient elution systems [<a href="#B9-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">9</a>]. Additionally, ethanol’s higher viscosity compared to acetonitrile and methanol can result in elevated column pressures, potentially affecting both the efficiency and lifespan of chromatographic columns. These issues can be mitigated by optimizing the HPLC method, such as by adjusting column temperature to reduce ethanol’s viscosity, thus maintaining system performance and longevity [<a href="#B10-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">10</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>In this study, I aim to address the growing need for environmentally sustainable analytical techniques by developing a green liquid chromatography (Green LC) method utilizing ethanol as the mobile phase solvent. Ethanol’s favorable environmental profile and chromatographic performance make it an ideal candidate for promoting greener analytical practices [<a href="#B11-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">11</a>]. Furthermore, I introduce a Simplified Spectrophotometric Method for the analysis of AA, an anti-androgen drug used primarily for treating prostate cancer [<a href="#B12-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">12</a>]. AA is also being explored for its potential use in treating ovarian and breast cancers [<a href="#B13-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">13</a>]. Its chemical properties and growing therapeutic applications highlight the need for reliable, sustainable analytical methods for its quantification in pharmaceutical formulations [<a href="#B14-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">14</a>]. The chemical features of AA are presented in <a href="#separations-11-00290-t001" class="html-table">Table 1</a>, as already detailed elsewhere [<a href="#B15-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">15</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>The literature reveals a wide range of analytical methods for quantifying AA in pharmaceutical and biological samples, including spectrofluorimetric, spectrophotometric, and liquid chromatography techniques [<a href="#B16-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">16</a>]. Many different analytical methods have been developed for the quantification of AA in biological fluids, bulk, and dosage forms. For example, the Liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectroscopy method for the quantification of AA in human plasma [<a href="#B17-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">17</a>]; the RP-HPLC/UV technique for the quantification of AA in rat plasma and its application to a pharmacokinetic study in rats [<a href="#B18-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">18</a>]; the LC-MS/MS-ESI method for the determination of AA in rat and human plasma and its application to a pharmacokinetic study [<a href="#B19-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">19</a>]; Liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet detection and electron ionization mass spectrometry method for the analysis of AA stress degradation behavior [<a href="#B20-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">20</a>]; AA in human plasma was determined using an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technique [<a href="#B21-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">21</a>]; and AA in human plasma was determined using an HPLC-fluorescence technique [<a href="#B22-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">22</a>]. While effective, these methods often require expensive equipment, toxic solvents, and complex procedures, limiting their accessibility and increasing their environmental impact [<a href="#B15-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">15</a>]. The introduction of greener methods for AA analyses is, therefore, timely and necessary. In this context, our study presents a novel, environmentally friendly Green LC method using ethanol, as well as a Simplified Spectrophotometric Method that employs ultrapure water as the solvent [<a href="#B23-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">23</a>]. These methods aim to reduce the environmental burden associated with traditional HPLC techniques while maintaining robust analytical performance [<a href="#B24-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">24</a>].</div></section><section id='sec2-separations-11-00290' type=''><h2 data-nested='1'> 2.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) reference standard of Abiraterone Acetate (AA) used in the study had a purity of ≥99.5%. AA tablets (Zytiga, 250 mg) were obtained from a local pharmacy in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey. Ultrapure water, with a resistivity of 0.080 μS cm<sup>−1</sup>, was used for the preparation of all solutions and the mobile phase. The mobile phase was filtered through a 0.20 μm membrane filter using a vacuum pump and was sonicated prior to the analyses to ensure optimal purity and performance during chromatography. </div></section><section id='sec2dot3-separations-11-00290' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 2.3. Pharmaceutical Solutions</h4><div class='html-p'>The Stock Standard Solution (500 μg mL<sup>−1</sup>) was prepared by accurately weighing 25 mg of the USP reference standard AA and transferring it to a 50 mL volumetric flask. Ultrapure water (20 mL) was added, and the mixture was sonicated for 6 min to achieve complete dissolution. The volume was then adjusted to 50 mL with ultrapure water. Standard solutions (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 μg mL<sup>−1</sup>) were prepared by performing serial dilutions of the stock standard solution with ultrapure water to achieve the desired concentrations within the range of 5 to 30 μg mL<sup>−1</sup>. The sample solution (25 μg mL<sup>−1</sup>) was prepared by accurately weighing ten Zytiga tablets (250 mg each) and recording the average mass per tablet. The tablets were crushed in a dry, clean mortar and ground to a fine powder, which was thoroughly mixed. A 50 mg portion of the powdered tablet, equivalent to AA, was transferred to a 100 mL volumetric flask. Approximately 40 mL of ultrapure water was added, and the mixture was shaken on a rotary shaker for 30 min to ensure complete dissolution. The volume was adjusted to 100 mL with ultrapure water, and the solution was sonicated for 10 min. Finally, the solution was filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane filter to obtain the stock sample solution, which was diluted with ultrapure water to achieve a final concentration of 25 μg mL<sup>−1</sup>.</div></section><section id='sec2dot4-separations-11-00290' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 2.4.

These solutions were analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) in the wavelength range of 200 to 400 nm. The spectrophotometer was calibrated using a blank solution (solvent only) before each scan. The maximum absorbance (λ<sub>Max</sub>) for AA was determined by analyzing the absorbance spectra and identifying the wavelength at which the highest absorbance occurred. All measurements were conducted at room temperature, and each concentration was scanned in triplicate to ensure accuracy and reproducibility.</div></section><section id='sec2dot5-separations-11-00290' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 2.5. Development of Methods and Optimization of Conditions</h4><div class='html-p'>Chromatographic conditions were carefully optimized to achieve superior peak parameters, including well-defined peak shapes, minimal tailing factors, reduced retention times, and high theoretical plate numbers. Initial experiments involved the evaluation of various mobile phases with different buffer systems, but none met the necessary system compatibility requirements. Additionally, several types and lengths of columns were tested, but these also failed to provide the desired system compatibility parameters.</div><div class='html-p'>Optimal peak parameters were obtained using an Extend C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). Several mobile phase compositions were evaluated, including mixtures of water/methanol, water/acetonitrile, and water/ethanol. Initially, a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and ultrapure water (20/80, <span class='html-italic'>v</span>/<span class='html-italic'>v</span>) resulted in excessively prolonged analysis times. To shorten the analysis time, the water component was acidified with formic acid to a pH of 2.0. This pH was selected because it is significantly below the pKa of the analyte, ensuring that the analyte remains protonated and soluble, which is crucial for achieving optimal retention and separation on the C18 column. Under these optimized conditions, the sample solution was injected to assess potential impurities that could interfere with the analyte peak or residual drug matrix components that might persist on the column. Sequential sample injections were performed, with a total analysis time of 6 min. No carryover of impurities was observed between injections, confirming the suitability of the 6 min analysis time. The column temperature was maintained at 25 °C, selected for its ability to enhance column efficiency, maintain low column pressure, improve peak shape, and ensure cost-effectiveness. Spectral characterization was performed during the calibration process, focusing on critical factors that influence the accuracy of spectrophotometric methods, including wavelength accuracy, spectral bandwidth, stray light, and linearity. These characteristics are essential for achieving reliable and reproducible analytical results.</div><div class='html-p'>For spectrophotometric analysis, the spectral characteristics of AA were assessed in various solvents, including ultrapure water, ethanol, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol. Ultrapure water was selected as the solvent as it provided the most favorable spectral properties for AA. Standard solutions of AA exhibited maximum absorbance at 253 nm, and absorbance measurements for both the standard and sample solutions were recorded at this wavelength.</div></section><section id='sec2dot6-separations-11-00290' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 2.6. Validation of Analytical Methods</h4><div class='html-p'>The analytical methods developed for the quantification of AA were rigorously validated according to the ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines [<a href="#B6-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">6</a>,<a href="#B25-separations-11-00290" class="html-bibr">25</a>].

(2) System suitability was verified to confirm that the chromatographic system functioned properly and met predefined criteria. (3) Linearity was evaluated to determine the method’s capability to produce results proportional to the concentration of AA within the specified range. (4) Precision was analyzed by examining both repeatability and reproducibility under consistent conditions. (5) Sensitivity was measured by identifying the lowest concentration of AA that could be reliably detected and quantified. (6) Robustness was tested to evaluate the method’s reliability under minor variations in operational conditions.</div></section><section id='sec2dot7-separations-11-00290' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 2.7. Selectivity and System Suitability of Methods</h4><div class='html-p'>To evaluate the selectivity of the chromatographic method, solutions of standard, sample, and mobile phase were injected into the HPLC system.
