High-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection for the simultaneous determination of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, methamphetamine and their metabolites in human hair using DIB-Cl as a label

This paper describes a highly sensitive HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), amphetamine (AP) and methamphetamine (MP) in human hair samples. The amphetamines investigated were derivatized with the fluorescent reagent, DIB-Cl to yield highly fluorescent DIB-derivatives, which were then analyzed by HPLC with fluorescence detection at excitation and emission wavelengths of 325 nm and 430 nm, respectively. The separation was achieved on an ODS column with an isocratic mobile phase composed of acetonitrile-methanol-water (30:40:30, v/v/v). The limits of detection for the four compounds obtained by the proposed method ranged from 11 to 200 pg/mg. The method was successfully applied to the determination of MDMA and MDA in hair samples obtained from MDMA abuser.

The detection wavelength of beizoic acid derivatives was lambda(ex) 275 nm and lambda(em) 315 nm. The detection limits of sugars were 10-80 microg/mL. The calibration graphs were linear up to 10 mg/mL. The relative standard deviations of 500 microg/mL sugars were 7.0-7.3%. The proposed method was compared with the enzymatic photometric glucose analysis method (Glucose B-Test II Wako). The correlation coefficient was 0.83 (n = 20) and y = 0.82x + 5.91, where y and x are concentrations in microg/mL obtained by the proposed pre-column HPLC and enzyme-photometric method, respectively. The detection limits of sugar alcohols were 100-1000 ng/mL. The calibration graphs were linear to 50 microg/mL and relative standard deviations of 10 microg/mL were 7.2-8.2%. The 1,5-AG data by the proposed method was also compared with the enzymatic photometric 1,5-AG analysis method (Rana AG 1,5-AG determination kit, Nihon Kayaku) and good correlation (r = 0.91, n = 20) was also obtained.

2-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-6-N,N-diethylaminobenzofuran: a useful reagent for the sensitive determination of alcohols by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection

A simple and highly sensitive method for the determination of short, medium and long-chain alcohols using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection is described. The alcohols were derivatized to their corresponding esters with (4-carboxyphenyl)-6-N,N-diethylaminobenzofuran.

Nonextractive procedure and precolumn derivatization with 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole for trace determination of trimetazidine in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

A highly sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorescence detection has been developed and validated in a single laboratory for the trace determination of trimetazidine (TMZ) in human plasma. Fluoxetine (FLX) was used as the internal standard. TMZ and FLX were isolated from plasma by protein precipitation with acetonitrile and derivatized by heating with 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole in pH 8 borate buffer at 70 degrees C for 30 min. Separations were performed in the isocratic mode on a Nucleosil CN column with the mobile phase acetonitrile-10 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 3.5)-methanol (47 + 47 + 6, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The derivatized samples were excited at 470 nm and monitored at an emission wavelength of 530 nm. Under the optimum chromatographic conditions, a linear relationship with a good correlation coefficient (r = 0.9997, n = 5) was obtained for the peak area ratio of TMZ to FLX and for TMZ concentrations of 1-120 ng/mL. The proposed method has the lowest limits of detection and quantitation reported to date for the determination of TMZ in plasma with values of 0.3 and 0.95 ng/mL, respectively. The values for intra- and interassay precision were satisfactory; the relative standard deviations were < or =4.04%. The accuracy of the method was demonstrated; the recoveries of TMZ from spiked human plasma were 98.13-102.83 +/- 0.2-4.04%. The method has high throughput because of its simple sample preparation procedure and short run time (<10 min). The results demonstrated that the proposed method would have great value when applied in pharmacokinetic studies for TMZ.

The detection limits were in the range of 0.1-10.0 pg/mL in serum. The calibration graphs were linear to 1.0 microg/mL. The relative standard deviations were 7.2-8.9%, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of bisphenol A in mother and infant rat serum.     

Determination of T-2 toxin in cereal grains by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection after immunoaffinity column clean-up and derivatization with 1-anthroylnitrile

1-Anthroylnitrile (1-AN) has been shown to be an efficient labelling reagent for the determination of T-2 toxin (T-2) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-fluorescence detection. This reaction has been used to develop a sensitive, reproducible and accurate method for the determination of T-2 in wheat, corn, barley, oats, rice and sorghum. The method uses immunoaffinity columns containing antibodies specific for T-2 for extract clean-up, pre-column derivatization with 1-AN and HPLC with fluorescence detection for toxin determination. Ground cereal samples were extracted with methanol-water (80:20, v/v), the extracts were purified by immunoaffinity columns and the toxin was quantified by reversed-phase HPLC with fluorometric detection (excitation wavelength 381 nm, emission wavelength 470 nm) after derivatization with 1-AN. Recoveries from the different cereals spiked with T-2 at levels ranging from 0.05 to 1.5 microg/g were from 80 to 99%, with relative standard deviations of less than 6%. The limit of detection was 0.005 microg/g, based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1.

Phenol, cresols, p-aminophenol, p-nitrophenol and their glucorono- or sulpho-conjugates, were quantified by HPLC; 4-chlorphenol was added as internal standard. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the free compounds were extracted with an organic solvent and analyzed by an isocratic HPLC Perkin Elmer system at ambient temperature and at a flow-rate of 1 ml/min. The column was a reversed-phase Pecosphere 3 x 3 C18 Perkin Elmer; the mobile phase was a 30:70:0.1 (v/v/v) methanol-water-orthophosphoric acid mixture and the chromatogram was monitored at 215 nm. Identification was based on retention time and quantification was performed by automatic peak height determination, corrected for the internal standard. The recovery was ca. 95% for phenol and cresols; 90% for p-nitrophenol; 85% for p-aminophenol; the coefficients of variance were less than 6% within analysis (n = 20) and less than 10% between analysis (n = 20). The detection limits, at a signal/noise ratio of 2, were 0.5 mg/l for phenol and cresols and 1 mg/l for p-aminophenol and p-nitrophenol.     

Determination of 6-N-trimethyllysine in urine by high-performance liquid chromatography

A method for determination of 6-N-trimethyllysine in urine is described. Trimethyllysine and the chemically analogous 6-N-triethyllysine internal standard were isolated from aqueous samples by microcolumn ion-exclusion chromatography.

Quantitation was achieved with UV detection at 280 nm. The same HPLC method was successfully used in performing calibrations in lower concentration ranges for both drugs in human plasma using ezetimibe as internal standard. The methods were validated in terms of accuracy, precision, linearity, limits of detection, and limits of quantification. Mosapride and pantoprazole were exposed to acid hydrolysis and then analyzed by the proposed methods. As the methods could effectively separate the drugs from their degradation products, these techniques can be employed as stability-indicating methods that have been successively applied to pharmaceutical formulations without interference from the excipients. Moreover the HPLC method was successfully used in the determination of both drugs in spiked human plasma.
