Determination of sulfathiazole in type C medicated swine feed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with post-column derivatization

A convenient method was developed for determination of sulfathiazole (STZ) in Type C medicated swine feed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) with post-column derivatization. Addition of extractant solution (0.2N HCl and 1.5% diethylamine in 25% methanol) and an internal standard (IS), sulfamethylthiazole (SMZ), to 5 g sample was followed by mechanical shaking for 1 h. The extract was clarified by chilling, centrifugation, and filtering before injection onto a C18 reversed-phase column. The mobile phase components were 2% acetic acid and 1:1 acetonitrile-methanol (83 + 17%, v/v). Run time was about 20 min. Determination and, largely, the method's selectivity were based on detection at 450 nm of the derivative formed by the post-column reaction of dimethylaminobenzaldehyde with the primary amine of the analyte and IS. The IS, SMZ, differs from STZ by a single substituent methyl group, is stable, and is readily resolved from STZ. Although SMZ is not commercially available, it can be synthesized with relative ease from purchased reagents and will be supplied by the authors to interested laboratories. In single-laboratory validation, linearity was demonstrated over the range of 0.055-550 microg/mL, well beyond the target concentration of 5.5 microg/mL. The estimated limit of detection was 0.04 microg/mL; the calculated limit of quantitation was 0.13 microg/mL (feed concentration of 2.4 g/T or 2.7 mg/kg). Wet-spiking trials with a variety of swine feed matrixes showed recovery to be 100-102% for the intended concentration range, 50-200 g/T, with coefficient of variation (CV) < 2%. The method ruggedness was verified with an overall CV of 2.9%.

Determination of methylbenzoquate in premixes and animal feeds using liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

A rapid analytical procedure was developed and tested for routine identification and quantification of methylbenzoquate in feeds by liquid chromatography (LC). The ground feed samples were extracted using methanol-water (80 + 20, v/v) at 65 degrees-70 degrees C in a water bath for premixes and in dichloromethane at 45 degrees C in a water bath for final feeds, respectively. The extract of final feeds was cleaned using solid-phase extraction on silica columns. Both the final feed and premix extracts were analyzed by reversed-phase LC on a NovaPak C18 column (3.9 x 150 mm; 4 microm) with methanol-acetonitrile-water-phosphoric acid (340 + 350 + 308 + 2, v/v) as mobile phase. Fluorescence detection was performed at excitation and emission wavelengths of 265 and 390 nm, respectively. Alternatively, post-column addition of sulfuric acid solution was used to decrease the determination limit. The recovery of methylbenzoquate, in a concentration range of 0.5-10 mg/kg, was 105.0 +/- 7.3%. The limit of quantitation, based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 10:1, was 48 microg/kg. The developed LC method was tested in an interlaboratory study. The interlaboratory repeatibility for both samples ranged from 7.1 to 10.6%; the interlaboratory reproducibility ranged from 11.7 to 15.2%. With the post-column addition of sulfuric acid, the limit of quantification was decreased by a factor of 50. Overall, the developed method is highly selective and can be used in routine analysis.     

Direct determination of free methionine in soy-based infant formula

A method was developed for the direct determination of free methionine in soy-based infant formula, with analyte separation and quantitation by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC), and UV absorbance at 214 nm, respectively. Sample preparation required only dilution with mobile phase and syringe filtration. Using a 0.02M KH2PO4 mobile phase (pH adjusted to 2.9 with 85% o-phosphoric acid) and 0.7 mL/min flow rate, methionine eluted at approximately 8 min, and total run time was 14 min after column regeneration with acetonitrile-water. System linearity was demonstrated as peak area versus analyte concentration, ranging from 80 to 120% of the formula specification for free methionine (r > 0.999, and all residuals < 0.45%). Intermediate precision relative standard deviation values were < 1.5% for ready-to-feed and reconstituted powder samples, and recoveries ranged from 98.0 to 103.5% for inter-method comparison with an amino acid analyzer method. The limit of quantitation was 3 mg methionine/L in the "as fed" infant formula. Despite the relatively weak UV absorptivity of methionine, the 214 nm signal was sufficiently intense in the 30-65 mg/L (201-436 microM) range to afford quantitation by peak area proportionation versus a 2-point external standard calibration. This direct UV detection after reversed-phase LC separation provides a simple and accurate method for determining free methionine without derivatization.     

Determination of lasalocid sodium in animal feeds and premixes by reversed-phase liquid chromatography: collaborative study

A liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the analysis of lasalocid sodium in premixes, complete animal feeds, and trace-level feeds was collaboratively studied. The method employs a 0.5% HCI acidified methanol extraction followed by 20 min sonication in a water bath heated to 40 degrees C. Samples are then shaken on a mechanical shaker for 1 h and stored overnight, followed by an additional 10 min shaking the following morning. Sample extracts are diluted if necessary with extractant, filtered, and injected onto an LC system. Determination of all lasalocid homologs is by reversed-phase LC with fluorescence detection at 314 nm excitation and 418 nm emission. Eight samples of drug premixes, medicated feeds, and mineral supplements, along with 2 samples for trace-level analysis were sent to 20 collaborators in the United States, Canada, and The Netherlands. Study data were returned by 17 laboratories. Two additional supplemental trace-level samples and a blank feed were provided to 15 of the collaborating laboratories, and test data were received from all 15 participants. For the drug premixes, medicated feeds, and mineral supplements, RSDr values (within-laboratory repeatability) ranged from 1.2 to 19.9%, RSDR values (among-laboratory reproducibility) ranged from 3.4 to 32.3%, and HorRat values ranged from 0.35 to 3.73. For the trace-level samples, only lasalocid A, the predominant homolog comprising > 90% of the sum of all homolog peak area, was quantified. All laboratories correctly identified the analyte. Although some instrument response was reported by a number of laboratories for the blank feed, all but one laboratory's results were well below the 1 mg/kg limit of quantification. RSDr values for the initial 2 trace-level samples were excessive, ranging from 51.6 to 64.4%. RSDR values ranged from 51.6 to 75.7%, and HorRat values ranged from 3.6 to 4.0. Data for the initial trace-level samples indicated that the test samples were improperly prepared to ensure homogeneity, and a new set of supplemental samples was provided to collaborators, with significantly improved results. RSDr values for the 2 supplemental trace-level samples ranged from 1.6 to 2.5%, RSDR values ranged from 5.6 to 9.2%, and HorRat values ranged from 0.43 to 0.62.

Determination of sulfamethazine in swine and cattle feed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with post-column derivatization: collaborative study

A liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the analysis of sulfamethazine (SMT) in complete swine and cattle feed was collaboratively studied. The method uses post-column derivatization with dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and detection at 450 nm. To 5g finely ground feed, extractant (0.2N HCl + 1.5% diethylamine in 25% methanol), and internal standard solutions are added, and the SMT is extracted by shaking for 1 h. Clarified extract (high-level sample extract diluted to a target concentration of ca 5.5 microg/mL) is chromatographed on a Cla reversed-phase LC column with acetonitrile-2% acetic acid (17 + 83) mobile phase. Sulfamerazine is used as an internal, or surrogate standard to correct for variable recovery of sulfamethazine from a variety of feed matrixes. Six Youden matched-pair samples were sent to 10 collaborators in Korea, Canada, and the United States. Label claims on the commercial feeds ranged from 0.0077 to 0.22% SMT. The SMT mean recovery as determined from the 5 samples with known analyte content was 99.8%. The within-laboratory relative standard deviation (repeatability) ranged from 0.28 to 4.72%. Among-laboratory (including within-laboratory) relative standard deviation (reproducibility) ranged from 1.26 to 4.87%. The authors recommend the method for AOAC INTERNATIONAL Official First Action status.

Enantioanalysis of bisoprolol in human plasma with a macrocyclic antibiotic HPLC chiral column using fluorescence detection and solid phase extraction

A sensitive, enantioselective, high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed and validated to determine S-(-)- and R-(+)-bisoprolol in human plasma. Baseline resolution was achieved using the teicoplanin macrocyclic antibiotic chiral stationary phase (CSP) known as Chirobiotic T with a polar ionic mobile phase (PIM) consisting of methanol-glacial acetic acid-triethylamine (100 : 0.02 : 0.025, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min and fluorescence detection set at 275 nm for excitation and 305 nm for emission. All analyses with S-(-)-atenolol as the internal standard were conducted at ambient temperature. The assay involved the use of a solid-phase extraction procedure for human plasma samples prior to HPLC analysis. The C18 cartridge gave good recovery rates for both enantiomers without any interference. The method was validated over the range of 20-200 ng/ml for each enantiomer concentration. Recovery rates for S-(-)- and R-(+)-bisoprolol enantiomers were in the range of 95-102%. The method proved to be precise (within-run precision expressed as % RSD ranged from 1.0-6.2% and between-run precision ranged from 0.9-6.7%) and accurate (within-run accuracies expressed as percentage error ranged from 0.2-4.8% and between-run accuracies ranged from 0.3-1.7%). The limit of quantitation and limit of detection for each enantiomer in human plasma were 20 and 5 ng/ml, respectively.     

Liquid chromatographic determination of honokiol and magnolol in hou po (Magnolia officinalis) as the raw herb and dried aqueous extract

A validated analytical method is described for the determination of honokiol and magnolol in Hou Po (Magnolia officinalis) as the dried raw herb and the commercially prepared dried aqueous extract. The samples were extracted with methanol by the Soxhlet method, and the extract was analyzed by liquid chromatography with photodiode array (LC/PDA) detection with confirmation of analyte identity by negative-ion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). A C18 column was used with a menthanol--0.1% aqueous acetic acid gradient mobile phase. Honokiol and magnolol were quantified at 288 nm. With the MS detector, the honokiol precursor ion at m/z 265 was shown to produce ions at m/z 222 and 224. For magnolol, the precursor ion at m/z 265 produced the ions at m/z 247 and 245. Comparable results were obtained for the LC/PDA and LC/ESI-MS/MS methods of quantitation. Six commercially prepared dried aqueous extracts were analyzed. The levels of honokiol and magnolol found in the raw herb were 17.0 and 21.3 mg/g, respectively. The limits of detection for honokiol and magnolol in the raw herb were 0.45 and 0.58 mg/g, respectively, and in the dried aqueous extract, 0.04 and 0.30 mg/g, respectively.     

Automated solid-phase extraction method for the determination of piperaquine in plasma by peak compression liquid chromatography

A validated bioanalytical method for the determination of piperaquine (PQ) in plasma by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography (LC) using peak compression is presented. Protein is precipitated from plasma with acetonitrile-1% aqueous acetic acid (85:15, v/v). An internal standard (IS) is added to the samples before they are loaded onto a strong cation exchanger (Isolute PRS) SPE column. PQ and the IS are analyzed by LC on a Zorbax SB-CN column (250 x 4.0 mm) with the mobile phase acetonitrile-phosphate buffer [I = 0.1, pH 2.5 (12:88, v/v)] and UV detection at 345 nm. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is added to the samples prior to injection into the chromatography system. PQ elutes in a gradient of TCA, which enables peak compression of PQ and significantly higher peak efficiency as a result. The intraassay precision for plasma is determined to be 5.4% at 3.00 microM and 5.8% at 0.050 microM. The interassay precision for plasma is 1.3% at 3.00 microM and 10.0% at 0.050 microM. The lower limit of quantitation and the limit of detection are 0.025 and 0.005 microM, respectively.     

Determination of 12 pueraria components by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

Puerariae radix, a commonly used Chinese herb drug derived from the dried root of legume plant, contains a series of isoflavones as its chief pharmacologically active constituents. Using 12 pueraria components as markers, an LC-UV-MS method requiring less than 60 min, was developed for estimating the quality of pueraria samples within 60 min. Extracts were analyzed using a Cosmosil 5C18-MS column, by gradient elution with an aqueous solution of acetic acid and methanol-ACN at a flow-rate of 1.0 mL/min. Peaks were detected at 254 nm and each peak was identified by LC/MS. The reproducibilities (RSD) of this proposed method, on the basis of peak-area ratios from six replicate injections, were 0.93-1.42% (intraday) and 1.05-1.63% (interday) at a detection limit of 0.12-0.78 microg/mL. Most of the markers used in this study can be classified, respectively, into three major categories, namely, isoflavones, O-glycosidic isoflavones, and C-glycosidic isoflavones. The structures of the compounds were determined from LC-MS fragmentation data and data from the literature.     

Determination of 19 rhubarb constituents by high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet-mass spectrometry

Rhubarb (Rhei rhizoma), a commonly used Chinese herb, contains anthraquinones, anthrones, galloylglucoses, stilbenes, and flavan-3-ols compounds, etc. as major constituents. Using 19 of these compounds as markers, an HPLC-UV-MS method was developed to estimate the quality of rhubarb samples within a period of 70 min. Extracts were analyzed with a Cosmosil 5C18-MS column and eluted with a gradient comprising an aqueous solution of acetic acid and methanol at a flow rate of 0.9 mL/min. Peaks were detected by absorbance measurements at 254 nm (6 and 8-19) and 280 nm (1-5 and 7), and the peaks of the marker substances were identified from their UV spectra and MS fragmentation patterns. The proposed method yielded a peak-area ratio RSD value with an intraday SD falling within 0.71-1.78% and an interday SD within 0.78-1.98% at a detection limit of 0.2-3.2 microg/mL. The ESI negative ion mode was used to collect data (molecular weight, CID fragments from MS and MS/MS spectra) for 19 compounds from four types of structure categories: anthraquinones, dianthrone glycosides, stilbenes, and galloylglucosides. The information gathered can be used to identify the structures of various peaks appearing in the LC chromatograms of rhubarb samples.

Quantitative determination of coenyzme Q10 by liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry in dairy products

The dietary sources of CoQ10 and the evaluation of CoQ10 in dairy products were characterized. For quantitation of CoQ10 in food samples, 2 liquid chromatography (LC) methods with UV and mass spectrometry (MS) detections were developed. LC with UV detection was performed at 25 degrees C on a Hyperclone ODS 5 microm 150 x 4.6 mm column with mobile phase consisting of methanol-ethanol-2-propanol (70 + 15 + 15, v/v/v). Flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. Retention time of CoQ10 was 10.9 +/- 0.1 min. The method was sensitive [limit of detection (LOD) = 0.2 mg/kg], reproducible [relative standard deviation (RSD) = 3:0%), and linear up to 25 mg/kg (R > 0.999). LC/MS analysis was performed on a LUNA C18 3 microm, 150 x 4.6 mm column, using mobile phase consisting of ethanol-dioxane-acetic acid (9 + 1 + 0.01, v/v/v), flow rate was 0.6 mL/min, and the retention time of CoQ10 was 4.1 +/- 0.1 min. Identification and quantitation were performed with a Finnigan-LCQ mass detector in positive atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mode. Mass spectra were obtained in selected-ion monitoring mode; molecular mass (M+H)+ m/z 863.4 +/- 1 was used for quantitative determination. MS detection is more sensitive than UV detection (LOD = 0.1 mg/kg), less reproducible (RSD = 4.0%), and linear in selected range. Analytical recoveries are 75-90% and depend on the ratio between the amount of fat in the matrix and the concentration of CoQ10 in the sample. Some soybean milk products were analyzed together with different cow, goat, and sheep milk products. Concentrations obtained with LC and LC/MS were compared with a few accessible results available from the literature. Concentrations varied from 0 ppm in soybean milk to nearly 2 ppm in fresh milk from local farms.
